I really love this game! The graphics are good and I am loving the many ways you could potentially solve the puzzles. I do wish there was tutorial text to get you started, but overall, this was really fun! I really wish there was more puzzles/this game could continue!

Cool idea, felt like it'd make a great phone game! It could use a tutorial though and a clearer way to delete objects though

Fun puzzle game. I think I needed the controls explained to me (it took me too long to discover that I could delete an object by dragging it off screen lol). Also, I would have liked a reset button for the level. I also hit a couple of physics bugs. 1, slightly changing object positions would sometimes influence the ball at the start of the level, ie I would change the position of a plank later in the level and then suddenly the fan would blow the ball differently at the start of the level. 2, at one point the ball hit a plank and just stopped dead, even though the plank was inclined.

Overall very fun game, and I think it has a lot of potential for more contraptions, etc.

Spinning ...in Space

This is an amazing puzzle game! I loved the creative freedom you have to solve each puzzle in different ways. They were also all very clever. Obviously a tutorial is needed but I figured it out. Only thing is I couldn't tell if there was a difference between the gears besides just their size. The art was nice nice for how minimalistic it was. Great job. Never stop making games!

I had a lot of fun 100% the game. Loved the funny sound effects. A guided tutorial would be a great addition IMO.

That's a really nice and creative aproach on the theme :)

Getting pretty complex in the later levels^^

First i was a bit confused on what i have to do now. Eveything on screen was locked, but then i noticed the gears on the bottom, that i can use :D

So i think a nice tutorial would be a great adition to the game.

Overall good work on that! :)

ye defo need to add a good on boarding tutorial. i only spend a couple days on this. do have some quality of life and mobile support ready to go live when the judging period is over.

goncalo-floroSubmitted109 days ago(+1)

Loved playing this game, every time i got start or completed a level i just started laughing with the sound effects. The levels were all so much fun.
I just noticed a potencial bug that happends when you press the try again button, the placed objects continue in place, so you can have more objects then the ones you had for placing.
But, overall, great job.

I had a great time playing this game! I love that it was inspired by an Amiga game! I lost track of time playing this game. Very satisfying game loop. I see in another comment you already mentioned a bin to trash unwanted or misplaced items and the ability to resize planks after they're placed. That would be my only feedback on making it better. Amazing job!

Really cool puzzle game, very satisfying being able to build your own track and have it work. If I had to say anything it's that when you set the planks you cant really rotate or resize them (I think) unless I restart the whole level but sometimes I don't want to do that. Really enjoyed it though, good job! the audio was very fun too

Return On Luck (R.O.L.)

LowtekGamesDeveloper110 days ago

ye u cant rotate or resize, i could add that. but right now u can drag cay item back onto the tool bar and it will return to it so u cna pace again . I get this is confusing though. thought about making a bin icon where u drag stuff to get it back on tool bar

Probably my favourite game from this jam so far:

PangreorSubmitted111 days ago(+1)

this is such an awesome concept executed rlly well.

my only real gripe is that often you are given more resources than you need which is a bit confusing from a puzzle design perspective for me, this could be part of intentional puzzle design but i feel itd be better to have more limited resources personally

Submitted

LowtekGamesDeveloper110 days ago(+1)

ye i aggree, for the quick demo i wanted to make it a bit more like a sandbox and didint balengce too much . if it gets to a bigger game i thinnk id be a bet more restrictive but sometiems still give a few ways to slove

Orelli HGSubmitted111 days ago(+1)

Great work. Love this idea for a spin to win puzzle game.

Great work! I felt like this was really well-made. Nice art style, and very fun to play around in. The missing audio, unfortunately, is really noticeable.

Submitted

MafuyuuuuuuuSubmitted111 days ago(+1)

So clever idea, i love it. Would add audio and fix the fullscreen if possible.

Pretty cool! Although I didn't get past the second challenge—I did get 3 stars, but apparently that wasn't enough, hehehe.

Thanks
ah might have missed that the exit also needs to be powerd with gears?
