Interesting idea. So many knobs! Good job
Pretty fun to mess around with.
Some many buttons! I was too curious and used them all. Overall follows theme and is a neat little mechanic.
Nice simulator, good concept, some of the knob combinations made me laugh! Unfortunately the knobs are a bit hard to adjust, and there are sooo many of them... I didn't try all...
I think your theme is snow man! :)
This is a really funny toy. The knobs seem to respond to moving the mouse along a single axis, instead of moving the mouse around the circle of the knob, which can be a little counter-intuitive.
I think with a bit of polish this would be a great interactive toy for younger kids.
Hi, I am going to do a few small improvements to this in the future. I built the LD submission into a "multicart" game I'm making which shares a framework and loader.
Regarding knob UX, I just went through my VST plug-in collection to compare my implementation against theirs and found that each one is tuned a little bit differently and has somewhat different ideas. However there is a strong convention to use vertical axis movement only, while I am using both axes - so I will change that in the future to follow the convention, and also do some further tuning to make sure it feels OK on pointer configurations that aren't my laptop's touchpad.
There are a minority of developers that do a "rotate around center" knob as TheMeorch suggests, but it's actually much harder to work with as it makes the response to your movements less consistent.
This game is SO ridiculously fun. i messed around and now i have a no armed blue wid-headed yellow bodied dancing snowman! THIS IS AWESOME
It's...dancing @_@
ha.ha.ha.ha!
I can't believe you made this
Hah! xD This is awesome, thanks for a good time. =)
That was actually really fun and funny. A button or key to randomize everything would be great (maybe there is one but I didn't find it). A better UI for the nobs would be a plus. Can you create challenges for the player and goals? That would be cool too.
I liked the game. The idea was interesting, but it would be nice to have a "randomize" button, and also the meaning of knobs, showing when hover cursor over them.
SO MANY OPTIONS! Great work, it was quite fiddly to play with but I found it interesting. Good job.
Surprisingly fun! I wish there was a fast way to randomize all knobs at once. And then export as image.
nice work
