That was really neat. 5/5 Innovation!

very cool and interesting gameplay 4.5/5

Simple yet fun, good job!

Such a fresh take on gameplay! It feels original yet intuitive. I really enjoyed it! (ツ)ノ

I love the theme interpretation, and the game mechanic is innovative. I wish the cog wheels bounced a bit more, but that could potentially make the game more difficult. It was satisfying to separate all the wheels, and it got more and more difficult

Submitted

i love the concept, the controls/collisions are a bit difficult

Nice inverse kinematics robot arm game! Somehow i ended up dancing with the robot-arm to the music. Maybe that could be a gamemode too?  :-)

Too bad there aren’t more levels, I’d definitely play more

Submitted

I really like the concept and the gameplay! It feels smooth and is very easy to play

Great idea and mechanics! The controls feel really good and work perfectly on mobile.

I even tried doing some tricks by quickly rotating and hooking onto the gears, no frame lag at all (even if my tricks were not very successful 😅).

I probably spent most of my time just dancing with the mechanical arm 🕺 The musical beat is irresistible 🤩


Small note: after playing for a while, the music loop sometimes restarts a bit abruptly. It didn’t really bother me, but I thought it might be useful feedback 🙂

Thanks for the feedback! 

Feedback is what drives people to do better, without it, there'd be no improvement.

Thanks a lot! The music was made by me in soundtrap; about the music loop thing... yeah, I didn't have the time to fix that. Next time I will though! 🎵🎶🎵

Thanks a lot! 😁

What a cool set of mechanics! The claw felt so satisfying to control. While waiting for the next set of balls to drop, I couldn’t stop moving it to the beat of the music. Very addictive and intuitive game!

Submitted

Solid unique game. Great for mobile play! I kept dragging my mouse out on browser play which messed me up BUT that didn't stop me. I really enjoyed it. 

Submitted

this was such a unique yet simple game, it was really fun to play! i loved how i could just open the game and start playing. love the controllable arm, thought it was super neat.

Submitted

I thought this was great!  I'd like to see some of your ideas for variation.  I noticed a little weird behaviour between the arm and the balls.  Sometimes the balls would stick to the arm and move (teleport) from one location to another without any frames between.  

Submitted

Simple and fun, but boy oh boy am I bad at it!

Submitted

Great idea and execution, it works really well! It was challenging, but I beat all levels. Only thing missing was some sound effects :) 

Submitted

nice concept that tends to become really chaotic with the inverse kinematics, wonder how long the arm could be in more chaotic levels

Developer

Lol!
Before this project, I wasn't too educated on inverse kinematics, but now... *Whew...*

I know a LOT on it.

Thanks for the feedback!

Cool game!

Very original! The physics works well!  I didn't understand the intro screen. The UI should be more explicit.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

If you were to rate this out of 10, what would you say?

And any ways it can be improved?
