This looks so good, love it. I feel like this could be fine tuned to be a little bit less tedious but all in all this is really engaging and vibey!

Visually pretty stunning! Difficult and controls feel a tad wonky but neat concept. Can't stress how much I love the way it looks!

Thank you for playing and leaving a review! I’m glad you like the visuals! I agree that it its current state the controls/physics are a bit janky unfortunately. I hope to tidy those up in the near future!

Enjoyment: I guess this game is very faithful to actual arcane cranes in that it's literally impossible to grab the object you want. At one point i grabbed some random ass rubik's cube and put it into the win zone, which was honestly more fun than the actual objective.

Creativity: Not the most creative interpretation of the theme. Then again the two first games I rated for this jam were infinitely worse in that department, so not the worst.

Style: Perfect. I could see a winning game from this jam looking like this. Literally the best thing about this game by a HUGE margin. I also got all the references in the 3D models you used ; )

Sound design is.. uh. torture. Especially for my autistic noise-sensitive ass.

Overall, this is the first game in my queue that actually looks like effort was put into it. Even if I honestly didn't really like it. I look forward to seeing what you'll turn in next year : )

Hey! Thank you for the in depth review :)

Thank you so much for the kind words on style! I put a lot (maybe too much time) in that, and it’s nice to see it being received so well!

I thoroughly agree with you that, despite being intended to be challenging, the game in its current state is too difficult. As for the sound - well, yeah, I agree too, it is currently just a (too) chaotic soundscape.

Next weekend I will spend some more time on the game again, and implement better fitting, less overwhelming and more satisfying audio, as well as balance the difficult and tidy up the physics/controls.

This is insanely difficult like wow. I didn't realize I'll hate this crane just as much as I do the one in real life lol.

The art and style are all pretty cool. Loved the visual quality this game has. I kinda missed the point on what to do at first, but then when I got what to do. I knew I wouldn't be able to do this (T^T). Overall, a really great entry for the jam! I loved this just as much as I hate that crane.

I'm very glad I'm not putting quarters in this machine haha

Very nicely done, this fits in with other games such as "pogobounce" and "getting over it". I would love to see this done in VR

I really love the arcade vibes! Operating the crane was really difficult but I guess that goes for any crane game. I ended up also using the car to push the objects into the right position since placing them was hard.
