Can't run the game, you need to upload the data folder.

Fixed, sorry about that!

confirmed - game is now runnable :) I keep getting stuck at the edge of the screen though - it's impossible to move away as that would involve clicking outside the screen. I did manage to win in the end - the superpowered windmill made it quite challenging which I enjoyed.

The idea is pretty nice and the controlls work well, except when the crane gets stuck to the edge of the screen. Maybe you could make an invisible border so it can only come so close to it.

This was actually pretty fun once I got the hang of it! Wish it was a bit longer.

Hi. I think it would have been easier to control if you had lands around the edges. Its difficult to get the crane to move to the right when its on the left edge of the screen. The crane model seems to be hanging upside down for me. Except for controls that are a bit weird I think you have all the element of a game, obstacles and a goal. I think a rubber ducky might have been a better subject than a paper crane :P Add some more levels, play with the camera, have some more fun :) Thanks

Thanks guys! Actually, what's funny, is the proper map had collision blocks and land in place, but when I finally was far enough along to build and play - about an hour before the end of the compo, I had JUST built my map. Simply ran out of time. Losing Saturday was disastrous from a completion perspective.

Here's an in-editor shot of it, so you can see what the intent was from a collision plane perspective: http://imgur.com/OrwVuxT

Good concept, it's certainly a bit different from most games. The "getting stuck at the edge of the screen" thing is a bit infuriating though, happened multiple times and I had to restart the game two or three times becaseu of it.. :)
