Graphics are cute! The game itself is super creative, with multiple gameplay elements, but TBH I'm not that good at guessing random words, so I just gave up. Maybe some hints in the game would be helpful.

Interesting concept, never seen anything like this. Very fun, well done!
@christian-zommerfelds Thank you for the review and feedback! We've just added the full list of words both here and over on itch page. Feel free to come back and explore.
I liked the idea and there's a lot of effort put into this! There's a lot of items, but I feel like there's some items missing too and it ends up being random if you get an item or not. With more time I'm sure you would have been able to put a lot more of stuff! But as it is right now it just ends up more confusing than anything and I ended giving up. Also all the items disappeared at some point when I got to the goal? IDK if I achieved something or what
Interesting idea, a bit hard to guess the items without the list or any hint system.
I escaped!.PNG
I played after the item list were provided in the description to consult with. I like the concept! I had fun trying to figure out which item would work with what and what wouldn't. I escaped with using 72/75 but now I want to know if I can do it again but with less weight hahaha - Well done!
I love this neat little game!! Cute pixel art and interesting idea! after realize the concept and try to find the best length/weight metal object it become kind of easy haha.I was happy to find some trait of some certain object made, like spring can really bounce. I may expect fish some more interesting objects like a ninterdo switch or a animated robot, and may be some varieties in the game goal will make player stay for some more runs.屏幕截图 2025-04-08 104104.png
Pretty cool, neat little loop. Style is great.
For a game that's largely about typing, would be nice if you could navigate the fishing interface using only the keyboard. Space to start fishing, auto-focus on the text field, clear the textfield if I guess the wrong thing. After several failed attempts, give some hints?
Very interesting concept, nice game! I read the reviews and I can say I got it after a few minutes without spoilers, maybe instead of a whole spoiler list make 1 hint per button press or something! I think that would inspire players to create combinations. I agree on having keyboard controls, would be nice! Assets look cool, very nice game overall!
I got 50k but forgot to take a screenshot :( cute game, as soon as the prompt showed up I forgot every metal object in existence.
Interesting concept, even if there are only certain objects, you're always surprised when it pops on the screen.
Interesting mechanic. Also like the art. Good job!
This was really fun! I found the title funny, and I really liked the colorful art. There were no notable issues, and I really liked how complete of an experience this was.
I really enjoyed this concept! Agreed with other feedback that this is a tough space where even though you added a lot of items, I came up with some that I thought were clever but didn't exist in game, which felt a little bad.
The initial few minutes of discovery where I realized what I needed to do were excellent, though. It was a "oooooh" moment where the concept clicked.
love the character very cute, and the game mechanics are really unique i think!
this was super fun! love that there are a lot of objects on the list and you can guess things and use whatever you want! i ended up with a bunch of tiny items lol

Thank you for the feedback everyone! :heart:
I would appreciate if you share some of the objects you came up with that we didn't add. Especially @magnesiumninja since you mentioned that there were some clever ones. We're planning to do an update once rating period ends and add a bunch of new items.
Talk about a rage game! Physics are kinda glitchy, it's very frustrating when your stack falls down I like the idea tho!
Should have taken a screenshot of my bare victory 😩
Very innovative and fun! I agree with @dstoc's feedback. I like how the physics are set up so that the items rotate based on where you pick them up from. The graphics are charming, too.
Some items I tried that didn't exist: car, tractor, filing cabinet, motorcycle, lamp, TV
Random guessing was cumbersome to start with, having to delete and reselect the text made it even more so.
Charming little word game! Limiting the maximum allowed weight was a nice addition - made me think more carefully about what items to choose. Trying to minimize the number of items used and the weight was a nice extra challenge. There might be a better way to do it, but this is the lightest I was able to get! stack.png
This was a lot of fun :D I really wonder what objects people come up with in this game. I feel I was not very creative XD I did manage to make it to the top though, with a weight of 57.
I would have never expected a word based game with this theme, but I liked your spin on the theme! Very creative. Great submission! I had a lot of fun with this one :D
EASILY cutest game award! it's really smart and reminds me of scribble naught, this seems like such a fun game to make and it paid off! I will say I wanted to make fork and spoon but the other items I had made sense! :))))
I would've never known what to do without you telling me the words to type in the description. Perhaps the game hinting at a few would've been nice. Great entry! I love the art
this was good, i really enjoyed seeing what objects were included and what ones werent. im glad i didnt find out about the ladder before already beating it because my solution wouldve probably been way less interesting lol. really great work from you all, delightful little game.

Very unique game, love it! Just realized midway that there's a weight limit of 75 (pounds? KGs? idk), i typed 'plane' and 'satellite' XD
Really difficult to find the words, I'm french so maybe it doesn't help. The concept is original tho.
metal.png the best concept for a game i've seen this jam.
Perfect art style, that is so cuuuuuute!!!!!And the gameplay itself is very creative.I feel that it also has the potential to be developed into a language learning game (As a non-native english speaker I am trying my best LOL)
This is just superior!
Very fun game !! Unfortunately the "motor" is bugged and made all items fall through the ground and I lost everything :/ Here is my best score just befor the accident

@roroto-sic this is not bug, this is feature! motor's weight is very high. maximum weight you can set is only 75 kg. you need to build your way out (on the top, there are flags), so you need to set items on each others.
I thought my score of 55 was pretty good but then I saw some of the other people's scores and I guess my score was very mid. Reminded me a bit of Scribblenauts since that's the only other game with similar mechanic of "write a name of an item to spawn it".
I found the motor amusing since even on its own it was too heavy to use but I could see it being frustrating if you have built a delicate structure just to have it all taken away especially if you were first just gathering different items and then one of the heavier objects accidentally rolled on to the platform (happened to me with the fridge). At one point I was able to push the rod inside of the pole so that there was 0 pixels of the rod visible which was an interesting bug but I was able to get it out by vigorously shaking the pole allowing the rod to fly out of it.
It would be interesting to see different "level layouts" so that you would have to figure out different ways of stacking the objects (for example now the smaller objects might not have been too useful since the space was so open). I had fun trying to figure out how to build my way out of the pit and trying to think of all the different objects that could be fished out (although I gave up at one point and looked at the list of possible items)
