I played up to score 18 and then I had had enough. I found it slow paced and also it's strange to have a score with no failure condition. If it were me, I'd make the game run twice as fast, and add a time limit. On the other hand, it's pretty relaxing as it stands...","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":764447,"author_name":"Honey Pony","author_uid":"honey-pony","epoch":1634265438,"text":"Wow, the extremely slow movement speed of the crane is probably not what most people would call fun, but it has a super good feeling to it, in my opinion. That is, it really has this feeling of manipulating a giant machine--the machine doesn't react instantaneously because of course it doesn't, it's a giant machine!\n\nI really think this game captures that well. I think the direction to take it would really be to incentivize the player.\n\nThat is, getting a high score is just not that exciting, overall, so I really don't feel like I have any reason to sit here manipulating this gigantic slow machine.\n\nBut... if there were some other goal I could accomplish with the machine, that I already cared about for some reason, then I would have more reason to want to use it. And then the physics would really get a chance to shine. So I guess, if there were some sort of larger game that this crane could fit into, maybe even just something like an idle game, then people would feel like interacting with the crane a lot more--which would be great, because then more people could experience these cool physics.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":765059,"author_name":"jk5000","author_uid":"jk5000","epoch":1634370956,"text":"The idea is fun, but it's a bit too slow.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":766465,"author_name":"aplite","author_uid":"aplite","epoch":1634501527,"text":"Interesting idea. The lack of a real goal takes away from the experience. Having a target height with a limited number of blocks would allow for multiple levels to be included.
