Felt like some whacky stuff, perfect game jam game. However, the part after the crafting did not work for me
I played it twice but when I got to this part the pangolins walked up to the enemy but nothing happened. The buttons changed the text but nothing more. Thought that it was just a strange bug so I replayed it but the same thing happened.
I got really confused the first time, I guess I am bad at reading. I was supposed to make a triangle but had another shape and though that I had to create a triangle by cutting the corners with that shape. I found out later that you can actually switch haha.
The press down part I never got right, not sure if I did it correctly. Were you just supposed to turn the valve with the mouse? Sometime it turned really fast.
The spike and color part was too easy. When you hammered the spike they could be hammered down perfectly or they could be a bit janky. Even if I hammered them down wrong I got a perfect score. Is the score only about the amount of spikes?
A last thing, the game started on the wrong screen for me and I could not change it. I don't expect that game jam games have support for that but maybe add a window mode later or an option to switch main screen.

On some computers second part of the game freezes like this. I do not know why and because of it we could not fix it. Will reply to you if we make progress.
We did not even consider multiple monitors or did not do any testing for widescreens too. I am using a program called "Display Fusion" and because it has a shortcut to do what you could not, It did not even occurred to me that would be a problem for double monitor users. Thank you for your feedback about this stuff.
We definitely failed to tell the player how to use the press machine. You are not the first one that points out that. Game is made easy because it was already a game that you had to learn and we wanted to reduce friction. I actually have an idea for hardcore mode. Like you have to choose the right color from a color wheel by just looking at the requirements. Like the painters in youtube.
Spike score is easy. You just need to place the exact number.
Hammer score comes from the hammer visual. The near you are to the middle of the hammer the better score you got. But there is a bug (not a bug actually) right now so you can get good score by the sides too.
Thank you for detailed review.
