An interactive tutorial or a blob of text telling how to game works would help a lot!

Few puzzles made it a quick game, after testing a construction once the nails just don't work anymore that was a bit frustrating. 

Try focusing a lot on the UX for a next gamejam or the update of this one. :D

Very fun premise, and the controllers were understandable enough, but the puzzle could start easier so the player have a chance to learn the mechanics before testing it
overall very good game!

It's a good game, but it doesn't really fit the theme and I've had problems with understanding why I couldn't place planks at some places. Next time, try to make a tutorial even if you have only four days. It's simple to make and it helps your players a lot.

Are the nails spring joints? Most of the time they don't do what I expect nails to do. Good game, but the interface and controls need some improvements. Also the theme is nonexistent.

Liked it, good job!
If you want to, you can check out game I worked on as well : https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-12/rate/2974095

Very interesting puzzles. I like the mechanics a lot, but the audio was pretty loud and no music made the game feel kind of empty. Overall though, great job!

Cool game for 4 days, definitely hard puzzles too solve!

Missed some calm music playing but it's nice, I first didn't understand what to do but I found out eventually

This was really fun. I liked it. The first one I played in the jam. The art was my favorite but it was pretty fun in general. I dont think it went with the theme much - I feel like storm implies "too much to handle", "a horde" or "weather" and I didnt really see that much.  But the game was fun. I think some calm music woulda been a neat addition. :)
