These goblin bffs just had a GREAT idea. Lots of people need lots of stuff, right?

And Gorbo the Great is a wizard, right? (yes.)

Why not take random forest trash that they can scrounge up and use MAGIC to transmute it into useful items?!

And then why not sell those items to customers?!

Why not, indeed.

In Incredible Third Dimensional Copying Contraption, you play as Gobby, who hangs out inside of a ~~stump~~ machine, taking requests and making them happen. There are over 20 different items to create, with tons of different characters to create them for!

How to play

For each round, you'll get an item request. Dolls, candlesticks, even cats! Then, use the items at your disposal - things like mushrooms, spoons, playing cards - and arrange them to match the item as precisely as you can. Once you're done - OR once 10 "seconds" are up (there is no actual time pressure, it's turn based!) - you can toss your creation out of the OUT hole and reap your earnings! Or, you know, not. Depends on how well you do.

The game goes for 10 rounds, with different target objects each round. Items are random, so you can replay the game to try creating new items!

A couple of notes on releases

  1. We have a web version but it's crashing on an animation, so we're shipping Mac + Windows right now, and will hopefully have a web version (unchanged save for the bug fix) up within the next couple of days!

  2. There are two releases below - a 1.0 and a 1.1. The 1.1 fix includes a small algorithm update for image matching to make it feel less punishing. If you want an "easier" experience, play the post-jam version. For a harder experience, play the original jam version.

Awesome idea. Never seemed to be able to "match" the items up. Really strong art style and smooth gameplay / animations.

One of the best games for me! Totally fun! Maybie game need some little more different forms for objects which we are using.
