Loved it! Very tense! Gotta be honest though, I really struggled with the padlock controls. I’ve never used one irl and the small guide graphic didn’t really help me lol.

Love the execution and i loved playing it! Is the bomb disarming idea original? Not really. But you made it well and polished so i'm all for it. Congrats!

Developer

Heck yeah!  First idea kinda flopped so I had to pivot to something simpler.

cool idea witch is well executed, the crane physics are slightly janky but i wouldn't wish doing crane physic on my worst enemy so its amazing it works this well, only problem i found was that i couldn't figure out the commands for the round padlock but thats meaby jsut a me problem

overall the visual and sound design were very nice, the gameplay was intuitive, great work!

Developer

The majority of the time spent on this game was playing around with the crane physics haha.  I only managed to get it working this well the day before the deadline but yeah, still some jank.  For the padlock or combination lock, you hold the mouse cursor over the center and use the scroll wheel to rotate.  You're not the only one to get tripped up on that.

Thanks for checking it out and leaving feedback :)

That was a lovely game. I really liked the idea, and the whole thing with the bears. The background ambience/music was also great.

There are some gameplay issues I found tho which is that some objects can get stuck on the sides and become impossible to get, also it wasn't really clear that I could interact with the panels on the machine, and I only found that out after comparing the symbols. I don't know if that's intentional or not. I also found that the claw can get stuck on the left ledge.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out and leave feedback.  I didn't encounter the objects getting stuck while play testing but sorry that happened!  Yeah the panels could have been indicated better... I just kind of hoped people would click around lol.  Thanks again!

Neat concept! Loved how generous the crane was. Blew up a couple times trying to figure it all out, but pretty fun!

How do you rotate the lock on top?
