well.

well.

Gee, thanks, actually. I got a lot out of this game, namely pride in getting that last garbage past all of those obstacles!!! The contrast between feeling terrible about what I was doing and feeling proud of myself for succeeding.... was wonderful. :"D

cool game almost ruined by frustrating controls/physics.

it's really clumsy and awkward picking up objects, and awkward even putting them into the pit. sometimes I'd drop the human and he would just stop in mid-air or be in the fire but the game wouldn't accept it and I had to pick up and try again, etc. Navigating him through the little maze was damn frustrating because he would just drop for no reason, and it was such a pain to pick him up.

I got to the end with the white jarbled screen and the message about car alarms, I take it that is the end? I could still hear the arm rotating in the background and the bucket opening and closing when I clicked the mouse.

It was a fun little game and I really enjoyed the atmoshphere. It is definitely way to clunky when it comes to the controls. I also had a lot of trouble getting the first person in the pit. It kept freezing in mid air and it took about 3 full minutes until I was able to get him in. I didn't have that much trouble with the last guy though, because I figured out how the glitchy movement worked by then.

It was overall a good experience but I definitely think you should fix up the controls a bit.  :wizard: :handthumbsupR:

Once I got past the strange controls, I think the game was interesting!  I'm assuming I won when I got to the white part?


Oh yeah, controls need some help, and the voice acting, while disconcerting at first, in my opinion seemed a little bit too...prepubescent by the end.

This is the most glitched up game I have ever seen.

Uptaded the game and now there should be fewer glitches and stuff.

Batmanifestdestiny: Yes, I tried to make it so the voices seem to get higher and higher.

fixed version is much better. still a little quirks if you move the arm too fast, but I was able to complete it without any headaches or frustrations.
