This is like how those YT shorts video about building things just to click a button
Cool game idea! Love the graphics
I love Rube Goldberg machines! The puzzles were intriguing and offered a ton of different solutions, and I really liked the music. Great job!
Building a ridiculous contraption to hit the button at exactly midnight was hilarious and satisfying! A clever physics puzzle with lots of personality.
really like the unique twist of timing it right instead of just controlling the ball's direction, great job!
A lovely game and a thumbnail i simply could not scroll past! I did end up finding one bug that made quite a few levels very different for me gameplay-wise. If you are holding a part and click the start button you get to keep moving the part. Because the part still has collision you can just carry the ball onto the button.
That aside, the intended way to play the game was quite enjoyable! This is one of the more creative ways the theme countdown has been approached in my eyes. Having the countdown not just be a limit but also a GOAL is quite inventive and really does add another layer onto this style of game! Good work and kudos to the team for a good time!
I love a good Rube Goldberg machine game. Controlled very well and I liked the way you added the element of trying to get the timing right with the New Years celebration. Great job!
Very fun! The timing works really well with the "contraption" style puzzles. I liked experimenting with a level and playing with the different ways to achieve the perfect score.
happy to hear that you liked the result...it was a plessure working with that team everybody did a good job. :)
This was very entertaining and timing the ball was a nice twist :)
Thanks! We appreciate you checking out our little game.
thank you for your words <3
Love the presentation of everything! Very nice QOL too by having the levels and such be playable immediately, all the little blocks are really fun to mess around with too and mostly self explanatory or their functions, overall very good cohesive game!
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you got to have some fun with it. Thanks for noticing the little QOL features.
<3 <3 thank you
That is a really cool idea, great job!
Thanks! Hope you had some fun making contraptions.
much love thanks <3
