Really nice and difficult little game :smile: That's an original take of the theme :wink: Good Job !
oh my god. i'm just as bad in this game as i am in real life at trying to find things in my pockets. really great take on the theme. And great comedic mood! :D
Seems fun, Graphics are beautiful, music is really funny!
I can't grab items using my Mac, neither the right click nor the two-finger gesture work: - I have tried on the trackpad - the magic mouse - I have tried holding ctrl, which sometimes trigger the right click event.
@ me if you fix the issue, I'll come back to rate the game on the game aspects then.
@dhim Hey, thanks! We fixed this, so you can now also use Shift/Space or Q/W to drag respectively grab stuff.
An original idea! It's fun to pull things out and have everything fall down in the end In the web version only a little inconvenient, something with positioning - the mouse goes off the screen and control is lost Put the ability to open in full screen and maybe the bug will be fixed.
Great use of theme!
Unique idea! It's a bit crane game-esque :)
The controls a little funky using a mouse for me, I seem to have put the hand/grabber out of the click sensitive area on one of my runs, and sometimes it's hard to bring the hand down to the bottom. I wonder if wasd or arrow keys might make sense as PC controls?
@fnelix Great! Thank you I have played the game now! I passed the first level without grabbing the lipstick that flew out of the bag while rummaging!
A very unique and interesting idea. I really enjoyed playing this game — I got totally hooked!
So cute! Really nice art and aesthetic. The music is nice but gets repetitive quickly. At first I was trying to be careful with the bag, but after a while I just started to quickly throw everything out and it was SO satisfying :D I'm so glad you only added penalty and didn't fail the stage on items dropped!! Thanks for the fun experience :D
HARD !! XD Much better on phone than computer. Felt a little unresponsive at times (the hand would get stuck) but overall a very fun experience. Enjoyed the graphics quite a bit.
surprisingly challenging with mouse! Fun idea and good art, love the music
super difficult but i love the idea, art, and mechanics!! i got frustrated after a while and just started throwing stuff out the bag to get it out the way lol
Cute little game, music choice is also perfect!
I really enjoyed this one, great concept really nicely exeecuted with great art!
If i had to criticize, maybe the controls with the two mouse buttons is a bit awkward, could be simplified to using only left click (mouse would constantly move the hand, use the left click to grab, that's all)
Great game!
Very original interpretation of the jam theme, fun game, well drawn, was fun to play, thanks
Super main theme, awesome visual and physics
Dropped out all the stuff Screenshot_9.png
Very fun game! Always love it when physics are incorporated as part of the gameplay challenge. Audio and visual representation are very clean and super funny. Finished with a time of 20 minutes, but about 18 of those came from penalties. 😅 Also, really nice interpretation of the theme. 🙂
I think this game is not rated as highly as it should be. I really don't understand why it has so few ratings. I liked the idea, the theme of depth is perfectly revealed, and the unconventional approach is great. I had a lot of fun and laughed. I even got my wife to play, and she also laughed. So, you guys are awesome! Good luck with future projects!
Well done! I really enjoyed the visual variety of the levels. We had a somewhat similar idea for our game — it's funny to compare the two! I'm really impressed by how you managed to add so many levels. I had a little trouble playing it with the mouse (I think someone else already mentioned the issue), but it worked pretty well on mobile. 😊
Funny interpretation of the theme. Had fun playing the game.
The controls are a mixed bag. Sometimes it felt very good to play with the mouse, for example the first three stages, but other times the hand got stuck and some objects fell through the container (glitch).
The visuals of the game are nicely done. Everything is clear and has a fitting look. It's a nice addition, that you put in a clear tutorial.
I love this intepretation of the theme! The art feels well made and fitting for the game. The left click HANDling ( :D ) was a bit wonky - got stuck a few times, and also wasn't quite able to just hold left mouse down cause pulling down the whole height of my screen the hand was just half way in - and at that point it got somewhat stuck and i had to wiggle the arm around a lot to unstuck it. Other than that overall a really good entry, well done!
Haha, what a fun take on the theme! I loved all the different bags, hands and items. The graphics are really nice. Fun background music, albeit a bit repetitive. Sometimes the control of the hand felt a bit less responsive. I made it to the end, but I have thrown out many objects, haha.

What a fun game! I wonder if it's possible to be done without any penalties. I've had a lot of fun playing :heart: https://youtu.be/RiEZl_8j3Lg
