A fun game with unusual game controls that make it original, although some here in the comments say they should be simplified. However, these jams are a way to improve oneself and understand what works and what doesn't :) Great job and good luck for the future brother

Thanks man. I've had someone I know personally suggest that I touch it up a little and get it on Steam, so who knows, it may get that controller love!

Developer

Odd. I'm running it on Firefox 126.0 64-bit; have you tried that?

Funny game and great story but the push mechanics were very difficult. Would love to see how this game worked with maybe a "grab" mechanic to link you to the object. Good job!

The story and the graphics are great, but the game and the controls frustrated me a lot! With simpler controls, I could totally see this as a nice kids game. They would love Froojarspootz! Awesome name, btw ;-)

Developer

Thanks! It's from the German word for "spring cleaning".

Thank you!

Thanks for all of the appreciation, guys! I was actually a bit sick this week and it slowed me down a little; I'm feeling fortunate to have had it done on time at all. I'm glad everybody likes the monster so much.

Fun little game! Controls were a bit hard to get used to. Loved the cute story and the design was overall very nice :) Great job!

The game is overall fun (the monster being the standout because he's so cute :D). The controls were a bit slippery and on some playthroughs, multiple toys would be stuck outside the play area, thus stopping me from finishing the level. With a bit of polish, this could be a really fun time.

It took some time to get used to the controls, but it was fun. On consecutive plays, I had the problem that toys can spawn out of bounds, happened more than once.
