Another fantastic entry in the mini jam. Graphics, audio and gameplay were very cohesive. Well done!
Fun little game ! The game loop is very simple and addictive. The game starts off slow which is very useful to learn the mechanics. I like that it lets you speed the pace up once you get good. It means there is always room to improve and get a highscore.
A nice simple game, reminds me of those flash games or those old games on special devices. The gameplay is surprisingly exciting also, considering it's so simple. Great job! The visuals could've been a bit more polished though
I agree. I was hoping to make it look more like an old Game & Watch game (e.g. Manhole). Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
Hm, I thing you could:
1. Make the movement of the crane in fixed positions right above the toys (So that the game feels more intense and the pixel-perfect effect is on)
2. Try to make it seem like the crane rope with the magnet is a part of the crane (it sometimes seems like it just floats there)
3. Try to make the game as endless as possible. Because in the current version you lose when the magnet touches the toy, and the magnet will, most likely, do that, because it moves towards the single existing toy, and when the crane is low, the nearest toys are basically doomed either way. Idk how to change that: either make the up-down movement of the magnet more quick, so the main motivation of the player is to get the toy faster than the magnet, and set back the Y position of magnet to default, when the targetted toy is grabbed by the played, idk
But those are just my thoughts that I came up with on spot
Graphics are very cohesive, gameplay simple and clear, nice job :)
I like this game very much.
It's fun, the music is good and the art is very nice!
I'm agree with previous commentator about randomness of packages. Still very simple and cute entry)
Very simple game, it would be fun if we could choose where the package goes instead of it being random.
I definitely agree. I saw this with more playtesting but did not have time to double back and change that. Thanks for your feedback!
