You actually played physics, and my computer sounds louder when you run in the browser. XD

Had some trouble getting the second battery to stick but an interesting concept anyways. My main problem with the game is that the original Gameboy actually used 4 batteries :P JK!

It had some pretty great physics and I feel like it could use a story kind of like i am bread, the game had a surgeon sim vibe to it, so maybe you can play off of that

Same as Thorneto said, also had trouble to get the second battery in. Other than that, cool idea! :)

hammers 2017-07-31 20:11

Haha yep @thorneto I realised too that after I'd finished modelling it ^_^ Though having to put 4 in would probably just be even more tedious and frustrating than it already is :P

Very simple and I feel like I shouldn't like it, but I really do :D

Haha! A fun little physics play around. I relate so hard xD

It's a nice color scheme and good models. Especially all the remote buttons. I see that the focus was on the physics, but I couldn't get my mind off the humor of the whole thing. The fact that it was a game about replacing batteries, and that I played it for a solid 10 minutes means you're doing something right.

The physics make it a lot of fun! I think adding some kind of competitive aspect would be cool. Like having the time taken for each appliance and then added to global scoreboard?

I love this game, it make me remember my childhood, looking for all the batteries in the house. Very great and fun game to play :)

This was a nightmare and I loved it XD loved it in that QWOP sort of way, super frustrating but super fun! Well Done!

I liked the colors and physics. I need to play this more often. I have no patience. Cool concept by the way.

Fun game with interesting mechanics, but sound would add better moood to it.

Liked the satisfaction of getting the devices to work, but had enough after fixing 6 devices. Had a lot of problem with the lamps, they kept on falling over... :tired_face:

Adding a score, e.g. based on the time it takes to fix a device would add a goal to the game.

That was entertaining.

Nice sandbox and simulator. It reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=214rZ1SWewg :grinning:

The physics could be tweaked - i tried putting ~5 items in the drawer and it started moving around on the yellow surface. When I picked up a battery from the drawer, everything catapulted far away from the playing area. It was a hilarious ending. :)

The WebGL build seems to have lighting issues (at least on macOS + Safari): when there are many light sources, strange rectangles appear on the yellow surface. (Maybe just graphics quality settings could be tweaked.) screenshot

Everything else is great. Thanks for making and sharing it!

I love how you interpreted the theme for this and I don't feel at all guilty that I've just opened this exact drawer in the kitchen in an attempt to replace the batteries in the TV remote...
