I do like that you added a voice to the game. One tip, give people an other option then alt f4 to exit your game. None the less for a first solo game jam you had something finished and it is playable (of not hard) so well done","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"fashionbatman","author_uid":"1002986","time":"2019-05-02T16:30:46Z","epoch":1556814646,"modified":1556814646,"text":"The control are really tough to get a hang of but i finally picked up a box!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Beelzeboss","author_uid":"1074628","time":"2019-05-02T16:32:20Z","epoch":1556814740,"modified":1556814740,"text":"Trying to pick up the box and then deliver it without it falling is way more fun than it should be.

And I thought \"oh I don't have time to make an exit menu\" but adding an exit control key woulda been a good idea indeed !\n\n@fashionbatman not that simple indeed, are you talking about the lifting and holding of the box ?\n\nthanks @beelzeboss , box laughing at you and physics glitches were indeed kind of designed that way.

One of the most frustrating issues was, that I was not always able to rotate the player. When I tried I rotate it turned the player a bit and then it rotated back to the start rotation. Another small issue was that the control over lifting and lowing the arms did somehow not field natural, and I often ended op lifting the player weirdly up in the air. The last thing is that I am not a super fan of the way the camera controls is setup, but it is not a big issue, and some players like that way of controlling the camera.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"HugzFnr","author_uid":"1140849","time":"2019-05-02T18:59:22Z","epoch":1556823562,"modified":1556823562,"text":"okay I get it better now. The rotation reset happens because of a fix I tried on the broken physics which is to reset x and z rotations when they get too high, but sometimes y rotation (which is allowed) induces too much x and z rotations, especially on heights. Arms are indeed another part of these anoying physics, initially the angle was small and you couldn't do that but having a max angle that important actually allow fun things in the last levels.

On the restart I magically got it, the box flew into air for some reason. It would also help a great deal if I could strafe instead of rotate (left and right arrow) and in the level with platform I could not move forward, I instead rotated left, not sure if bug or feature, but it was kind of annoying since I wanted to know how the story with poor guy will develop.
