This is very similar to the other idea I had for this game jam, but I was going to make the player use tools and have to gather the raw materials themselves. Very well done! I made it pretty far and really enjoyed the gameplay! My only gripe was not having some kind of "staging" table to place items down that you aren't using without having to throw everything that I worked hard on away, especially when you are trying to micro-manage and make multiple items at the same time.

Thanks for the feedback! I agree that having a staging area or some way to store items would have been great, it unfortunately didn't make it into the jam build due to time/skill issue (code issue). I do think I will update it with the ability to store items after the jam though, it seems like a simple feature that most people have requested.
