We made a postjam update for the game which addresses some of the problems:\n- No more inventory slots. You can have just one item equipped.\n- Wrench doesn't need to be picked up, you already have it at the start of the game. Attacking happens from different buttons than interacting with the machines.\n- Zombies won't be spawning as frequently as before.\n- Fixing machines needs you to only not have a brain or bun equipped. If you have brain or bun equipped when there are no uses left in the machine, the option is always to fix the machine.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":802244,"author_name":"ElectricStalin","author_uid":"electricstalin","epoch":1649253629,"text":"Nice game, a little bit hard with controlls","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":802246,"author_name":"Sawyer","author_uid":"sawyer","epoch":1649253650,"text":"Really fun, I like the idea a lot.
