It took a bit of learning to get into, but it's a good game!

How does your game fit the theme?
How it fits the theme: The theme of the GMTK Game Jam 2024 is built to scale, so in this game, you must literally build things, to allow bob to scale things such as walls. I took a looser definition of scale. In sandbox mode, you can also build very large and impressive things.

the concept is good, but the game need more polish, whole page of tutorial and complex mechanism is very unfriendly for new player. Took me a while to figure out how to use spring connectors

Colorful ArchitectHey I have some suggestions:
- Music could keep playing between restarts
- Full screen messes up the popups
- You should be able to bring back the instructions if you closed them
- If you place multiple blocks would be nice if it kept the block selected when placing them so you don't have to click it every time
- Would be nice if you could move the camera as well as zoom. Maybe I missed it
I love the sandbox. There is potential here for a great puzzle game.

Turrets Togetheri think the music is a tiny bit too loud it hurts my ears with headphones on. it would have been cool to build out the UI more to its easier on the eyes

WELL DIVERCool concept. Would be nice if there was a quick animation of the systems so they are easier to understand.

BoxBoy: Scale&ConquerCool concept! I found the spring control a little difficult to understand but the puzzle design was fun!

Sucky SafariInteresting game, let down a bit by the controls. Having right click to select first and second pieces for joints was not intuitive, nor was q for motor in an otherwise mouse only game.
Resetting the entire level and deleting what you have done was also a little annoying. It meant I was not inspired to build complex machines, but instead I just put a block past the finish line with a spring attached and let bob fling themselves over. Decent potential, just needs polish.

Scout's GambitBob is adorable ♥ but UI looks a bit harsh and I couldn't play after the first level because the lines didn't show up and I couldn't restart the game. The game itself looks good! ♥

Doomsday CultureOkay, now it works, but I'm not sure why, because I kept clicking, I think I did it the same way every time, until it finally worked. So unfortunately I probably won't be able to give you more feedback. Maybe I was clicking wrong all this time and then I clicked right? Anyway, I finally managed to complete the level ♥
Cool idea! And interesting components I have never seen in a any building game. My only critique is that when you reset the music resets producing a harsh effect.
