Interesting take on the 3D physics game. The controls are pretty familiar, but because of that have the same downsides of being a bit unwieldy.
The punchcard is interesting it’s cool to experiment with, but it needs a lot of QOL to make it feel good when going fast. Right now it just feels clunky.
The lid magnetism is pretty good. Makes it easy to put the lids on.
The bribe timer does encourage going faster, but I think it really takes away from the experience and makes it more frustrating than fun.
Couldn’t really experiment with the punchcards, nailgun, crafting, and cable thing much because of the timer.
Overall, interseting mechanics, but needs a lot of work or a sandbox mode that works.
There is a "free play" mode but I probably should have made that the default or made it more obvious at the end screen/menu 😅
I did see the free play button and did click it, but it just puts me in the same map with the timer in the top right corner. Tried it twice just in case.
So it seems to not be working.
Very neat entry! The 3D environment and lighting look really good. The dude scared the crap out of me when he walked by, haha. I wasn't expecting moving shadows. It was a little tricky to learn how the machines work, and they worked a bit clunkily, but all-in-all, this is really cool. Nice submission!
I played 4-5 times, and I have concluded that the game is thoroughly rigged from the start, playing very much into realistic loanshark conditions..! The game is ultimately a nice little physics sim showcase, but the actual game loop is nigh-impossible to complete. After figuring out how each machine worked (which took a number of restarts), I ended up speeding through making some punch cards for cider. That took me the time for the first debt collection. Afterwards, I had to make and sell 3 batches of cider at breakneck pace just to make enough to get over the $5 hurdle, plus have enough money left over to purchase new ingredients. Which I discovered isn't viable anyways. When purchasing something, if you say, bought 1 apple (punchcard apple-0001 as is listed), you will actually spend $1 instead of $0.50 as listed. Same with water. So even though you only need 1 water for 1 cider, you have to buy 4 waters to maximize your spending, otherwise you lose a quarter for every water not purchased. This means that at its most expensive, 1 cider batch = $3. This is sadly compounded by the time limit, and the next debt amount of $10.
Placing punchcards into any punchcard chamber was also finicky, as it continuously tries to go in sideways due to barely scraping the sides. Once sideways, it must be ejected then rotated, causing you to lose precious time.
So while the physics stuff is interesting and funny to play around with, ultimately it doesn't contribute to the game loop. Still a nice little sandbox though! Good luck with your next game.
A very cool item interaction mechanic, and a very tricky controller - if you made it yourselves, that's awesome. I don’t like the text input mechanic on the punch card itself, plus the punch card's magnetic attachment works inconsistently.
Good Game! Also pls play my game
The handling of objects is pretty cool, even when inserting the punching card gets a bit daunting. But i didn't understand how to use the machines.
it seems like a good game but I couldn't figure out how to get more items I know the punch card thing but I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to put on it I tried apple but that didn't work
Really fun and creative!
game looked interesting, but i couldn´t figure out what to do with most of the machines.
