  • Great beginning, definitely has good potential. Hard to play when you have limited physical play space.
  • A fun game, but it would perhaps be easier if the shovel had some grab-points.

Fun little game! Congrats for making this for the jam! I only got to play the post-jam version, but it worked fine in Windows - just needed to download the .exe and .pck into the same folder.

I’ve updated the game just now, which has unfortunately clobbered the original exports.

If you’re reading this before reviewing, it wouldn’t be fair to the others to review the current exports; but comments are still welcome. As of this writing it has been reviewed 10 times.

Sadly could only make it to cannon 3 before I spent 2 minutes hitting no coals in :')

Pretty fun, the vuvuzela gave me a good scare the first time lol

Really cool concept! I was pretty terrible at it though. It almost felt like an accident every time I got the coal in :-)

Pretty fun, but it's quite hard to manipulate the shovel.

Yeah, I find it pretty frustrating too; punching the coal is a little easier - but I don’t exactly feel like I’m in control doing it

Love the idea! A very creative take on "vapor" :)

The shovel had no grip points and it was very difficult to hit the coals. but the idea itself is quite funny

Surprisingly fun. Ended up struggling for 20 minutes and got to the 3rd level. Would love to be able to hold with 2 hands, and also have some weight in the shovel.

Arm hurts from beating coal. Nice visuals and a unique concept. Great work!

thanks for trying it! the mechanic wasn’t as smooth as I wanted, but I think I’ll do better next time!
