- NutsNBolts is a fun game! I enjoyed killing squirrels with nuts, upgrading my robot arms to kill more squirrels with nuts, and then capturing glowing nuts to get more upgrade parts! The gameplay loop was fun, I could certainly see this expanded into a multi-level game with different enemies, trees, upgrades..etc. Great concept! The mechanics were cool. I enjoyed learning how each ability 'worked' mechanically. The only thing that felt weird was the movement. It felt a bit delayed and sluggish. I'm not sure if that was a stylistic choice, or a movement bug that didn't get fixed. Either way, it didn't really detract from the game much, because I didn't have to move very much. I wish there was audio, but I saw in your GDD that you didn't have time to get to it. The theme was on point, for 'you are the weapon.' Good job! I thought the artwork was memorable and cute. The GDD was a little sparse. I saw that you didn't have a Development timeline, and while your response there was humorous, it is helpful to see what you wanted to do, what you couldn't do, and what you accomplished by the end. This game is fun, artistically cohesive, mechanically sound, and (in my play through) bug free! Great job!

I have the same issue as transCoder. Mouse inputs not working.
Hey, sorry to hear that. Are you having this issue from the start, or only in the garage? What setup are you using?
It's when you get to the main game, and the laser eyes or whatever doesn't work. I can drive around, but that's it.
Did you hold the middle mouse button long enough? It takes a while before the actual projectile fires.
Ah, yeah. That did the trick. I had no idea that you were supposed to hold the button. Also I had no idea that the left/right arms didn't do anything until you upgrade them, and you only have laser eyes to start out.
The mouse buttons are not registering. I tried several times and even pressed every key on the keyboard. :(

On a replay, I realized that you had to hold down the middle button to charge the laser.
