Wow, the graphics and physics were awesome, I could definitely see this on Steam. Just add a bit more interactivity to the gameplay loop. I got 6009 points :)

Probably the most fun game I've played all jam, this is an hidden gem for sure.

I like the presentation of everything.. beginning right from the menu! Music is great  The physics seemed solid but like others have commented I was a bit lost when it came to purpose. Seems like a terrific framework to build a bigger game out of. :)

I like the Style and the Assets very much, but I felt a bit lost playing it without having any real goal beside trying to move stuff around. The physics worked pretty well. I had no performance issues. Moving the camera with right click and interacting with Middle Mouse was a bit confusing for me. The sounds and music fits to the game very well.

I reached 3731 points at max. Was pulling all stuff into the middle and then trying to destroy it.

Lovely game, the modelling, texturing and physics were on point! I enjoyed it but it feels more like a physics-based sandbox, the scoring mechanic alone is maybe not enough to keep entertained gameplay-wise. Congrats!

Congrats on submitting! I saw in the jam discord that there were a couple actions that gave MASSIVE POINTS!!! I found one, the light switch, but I couldn't find more :(

What I liked:

  1. The graphics (and font!) were really charming and pleasing
  2. The physics interactions felt good to control (I had a lot of fun trying to get the fridge out of the kitchen)
  3. The timer gave me a reason to keep playing when I felt stuck
  4. High score on the main screen is a nice touch

What could have been better:

  1. In wasn't clear exactly what I was supposed to do. If I hadn't read "controls" I would have been totally lost
  2. No way to control the audio!
  3. No custom key binds, or mouse inversion

Fantastic submission overall! Keep making games!
