Awesome game! I really like all the sprites and the music. The mechanic is original and fun as well. Maybe it is a little too difficult, I couldnt beat it yet.

Thanks for the feedback 😊. I definitely need to balance the game so it is more fair to the player.

Hey. I recorded a video about the Beginners Circle jam and included your game in it. If you want to cut your game out of the video, let me know. However, if you like the video, I make similar videos every day. I will be happy if you subscribe. Anyway, I enjoyed playing your game.

The game idea is funny. However, the time limit is too short and there are too many children! If there was some way to kick them out of the room, it would be more fun (maybe bonk them with candy?). You already know about the awkward controls.

I like the idea to bonk them with an item! Maybe I can have rewards when the player closes a box and give them x amount of a tossing item that can work to take down the kids. Many thanks for the feedback!

Awesome! Looking forward to that feature...

Neat game. I had to read the comments to figure out how the grabbing was supposed to work, but I figured it out.

Nice game and fun concept.

The only thing is the mouse to grab I felt it was kinda awkward.

Also, why would anyone leave their kids alone like that in a candy factory? Didn’t anybody see what happens to kids in Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory? xD

Hahahahha maybe all the kids are sons of the worker? 🤔🤔

Challenging and fun! Had to keep playing until I got it haha. Nice job.

Haha nice concept, it can get messy with all these kids around. Good job!

The only thing I would like is to play it using only the keyboard (Like pressing C or M to grab and press again to release). Clicking and holding mouse buttons can be taxing for some players.

Many thanks for your feedback. Actually, a lot of people have asked me why I choose the mouse button as the grab action. At the moment I thought it was going to be more comfortable for the players, but clearly I was wrong. Might fix this in the future.
