Very cute and polished game! Good job on your submission. It's unfortunate that the controls were a bit hard jumping back and forth between keyboard and mouse. The goal wasn't too clear to me either and I was a bit underwhelmed to only get one carrot after all that hard work. But I really enjoyed the concept! Would totally love to play a more fledged version. Awesome stuff!

Thanks for playing, I'm glad you liked it :)
The controls are a bit hard, yes. But there should be no need to jump between mouse and keyboard. It was intended to be played with the Enter/right Shift/right Ctrl keys with the left hand, and the mouse with the right hand. Would you mind giving some more input on how you played, or how you would like to play? Any helpful information would be appreciated!
My apologies that the goal wasn't clear. It's basically to collect carrots so that you can expand your game area, and/or but new pieces to build with. But in the end it's a sandbox game, so it's all up to you. As long as you have fun with the building :)
Thanks for the input so far!
OK yeah! Sandbox makes sense! Then it would be nice to have more expressiveness, like choosing colour or decorations. Maybe getting evaluated by hamsters on how fun the playground is or something. Just some ideas.
I kept switching between mouse and keyboard because I’m not used to using the right shift and control keys. I used left shift and control keys and switched from mouse to use the Enter key.
I feel like most interactions could be done purely with mouse. That would have been the best,
No need to apologize btw! You did awesome work!
