Really cute game, love the simplicity. My only critique is that I'm not a fan in general of having to play games that mix use of both keyboard and mouse if it's not necessary. Would have been smoother if we could press space bar say to pickup and drop instead of click. Good idea all round though and again the simple graphics style is exactly the kind of thing I'm wanting to try, particularly the animations of the character sprite. You could easily expand this as well in to a full on house flipper style game.

Thanks for the feedback, that's a good note about the controls. I usually try to make sure my games support multiple schemes, but the timing on jams doesn't always make it possible.
I've been experimenting a bit with this animation style, it's a good way to cheat by using simpler assets. You probably noticed the character sprites used only a single frame, the rest is achieved through simple translations which most engines expose through an animation timeline.
Thanks for playing!
