LD42 — Running out of space

Stunning little game. I felt it was a bit of a shame that I seemed to be running out of time way before I got even close to running out of space. Maybe I wanted a little more chaos and rummaging, but since every object was useful (minus TNT) things ended up fairly tidy.. Slick graphics and charming music. Oodles of personality.

Overall a great entry utilizing the chaos of physics.

What a lovely game, nice to see your little humans have a better sense of self-preservation than mine do :P

I personally think the boat handling is spot on and feels like you're actually handling a vehicle.

And everything else is just real slick, love the theme implementation.

I really appreciate all the comments and ratings, thank you all so much for taking the time to play my game.

I absolutely agree that the game is a "smidge" too frustrating to play. Had there been more time for polish/reflection I would have made changes that would have made the controls less frustrating. Specifically I would have altered the robots collider and reduced wall friction so you don't get "caught" and rotated as often as well as other minor changes.

Unfortunately I feel that it would be unfair to fix these things as part of a bug-fix because everything is working as intended when I originally posted the game. At least while the ratings are on-going. It's not the end of the world :]

If you're interested in more details I wrote a short post-mortem/bts of the game here:
