Quite a well made game for a jam, an odd combination of unlikely allies but that's the idea! It would be great to see more instruction and the menu button is quite small. And yeah, get those hitboxes a bit bigger, but otherwise pretty solid effort there,

Well done!

Killer concept and you nailed the theme! I agree with the other comments on the controls but those are all things that can be fixed, very well done.

11/5 for Creativity! It feels a bit clucky but its a game jam after all :D

That's just hillarious and the little chores you have to do fit perfectly.

Mech-Made Mayhem: Rise of the Crumbled Protectors

Thanks! Yeah the controls aren't super responsive and some of the hitboxes needed to be bigger. It's great to know what to improve for next time!

The concept is pretty unique! It's a little obscure for the theme and mechanics are a little clunky. I found myself having to click around a few times before successfully picking up/dropping skulls. As a standalone game with some more time put in, it could be pretty cool.

Thanks! I'll definitely put more thought into hitboxes next time!

Very creative idea and fun game, it just took me a while to understand how the game works (controls). Congrats!

Thanks so much for the feedback! I'll work on the controls more next time!

I love this, very frantic and original at least from what I know. After a few tries I got my win with 25.8 seconds to go :)

Thanks for posting your time! It's super hard to know whether I got the difficulty right!

I really enjoyed the theme on this... it really hits home for me as I have worked in Tech Support for Over 20 years.

I loved the use of the point-n-click and hold to move, and the fact that I had to increasingly keep maintaining the previous tasks.

Score: 42.8 Seconds Remaining.
