Fun simple, limitation and theme incorporated in an intelligent way, I loved everything about this game except for the sound effect for lowering and raising the crane which hurt my ears a little. Stellar entry! :)

It's so exciting! Very simple and unusual mechanics in the implementation without bugs. I would love to play this on mobile/
great news! You can play pico 8 games on your phone! I've also got it accepted in the amazon fire app store and I'm working on a android and ios version. I'll also be expanding it over the next couple of weeks, and releasing a longer version too! (More levels, more difficulty, more things to pick up)
I really enjoyed playing and would have kept going for harder challenges. There was also way too much time for me, but that might just be me. Here is a video of me playing:
Fun game and the visuals, sound, and everything were very tight. I wasn't sure about the use of the limitation until I accidentally hit some co-workers ahah Congrats!
This is great! Really original idea that was a lot of fun to play. Awesome job!
One of my favorites of the Jam so far! Crane movement is a little loud though.
Oops! I killed a few coworkers, good thing this is just a simulation!
Fun game, I really liked the feel of the physics!
Hah- always nice to see a bit of PICO-8.
Good mechanic, and fun presentation.
Great use of simple physics. Enjoyed the game a lot. ...also love the soundtrack. ;)
pico8 games are so charming. this was very cute and i enjoyed it a lot. it's VERY loud though haha
Simple concept, but very well executed. The game is simple, polished and above all, fun!
