Jerry's Misfortune by Notredamstra
Jerry is, as usual, going about his business. His business is flying around in his self-made flying machine. But his flights never last very long, being a little gnome in the land of giants. Lucky for Jerry, he is an excellent carpenter and just has to re-build his flying machine when things go awry!!

Faced some bugs of UI when I could not trigger fasten mechanics when it blurps 2-3 times in a row and final bug when you use elevator when it's blurping and you can't move anymore
- sometimes I put myself in front of the handles to hang on but the QTE "F" doesn't appear, so I have to be ejected by the burp...
- sometimes there are burps without prevention (from the moment I built the first bridge), there is no message or green gas, so I was a bit frustrated.
- 2x I had a bug where my character was stuck in the corner of the jaw, the camera flipped over diagonally and there was nothing I could do to unblock the situation... the first time I spammed the keyboard and I got out of it, the second time it seemed that nothing was working. (see screenshot), so I couldn't go any further.

I also wanted to talk about another thing : for a long time I didn't understand that you have to click on the "Build" button to build things, I thought I had to use the "1", "2" and "3" keys of the keyboard, because the numbers are written in front of the constructions, so I tried to install the English keyboard in case it came from the fact that I'm French and my keyboard is in AZERTY, but it didn't work either. Before giving up I tried with the mouse and it worked... I didn't understand because I hadn't been using the mouse since the beginning of the game, so I found it strange that I had to use the mouse at that moment.
Thanks anyway for this nice little game ! :D
At least for me it didnt really work. So I had to run to the other hook, but I could not make it in time and I would lose my progress again.
Overall a nice theme but a but frustrating because of some glitches, I guess.
Thank you @matlab for the extensive report, appreciated :sunglasses:
@saurterrs :laughing:
@danyastark Wilhelm!
*Bugfixes*
- Unclear/unsharp UI in-game
- Hooks not working twice in a row
- Getting burped while enjoying an elevator ride
Bashing f multiple times in a row and see those flying numbers combined with the increasingly more high-pitch soundeffect is satisfying for some reason :'D Also had a laugh with every upgrade, of course the best one was the elevator :D
I did run into a bug though. At the start I wanted to tell you about "maybe letting the text pop a little" because the graphic of the speech bubble/ background wasn't visible, so all I saw was some black text on some very dark red gums, but later on the text was displayed just fine.
Great sense of humour and good use of the Wilhelm scream!
