You've got too many guitars and now you've got to sort them all out. Move them around to figure out the best feng shui for your house.

Overscoped a little bit: everything should "work", but due to issues with the randomizer it's completely possible to get instructions that are impossible to complete. Whoops.

Ha Ha .. a game about guitars and not having audio :D .. There are a lot of things on the todolist. Could use some gradual leveling up. I liked the drop mechanic to not just allow to drop anywhere! I learned some guitar names :D Well done.

Почему то мой браузер завис и я не смог протестировать игру! Но вы молодец, так как сделали игру и выложили её!

Some achievements seem impossible, and the timer doesn’t appear to work, but I made my own challenge — sorting each guitar by manufacturer in every room. Nicely arranged. More Feng Shui!![fen-shui.JPG](///raw/a89/z/6da6a.jpg)

Be honest... What came first the pun or the game? :smile:
Anyway, fun concept, I just wish there was some audio!

The theme "collector" fits perfectly—you’ve packed in so many cool guitar details, and it’s clear you love guitars! The controls are simple and easy to pick up, and the room feels cozy and full of life.

That took me a while. I'm not going to sort them, it already takes up half the room. Good game.

That was a lot of guitars :laughing: I hade a bit of trouble understanding how and where I could place a guitar which in turn made me spend way too much time just figuring out how to put them down then actually sorting them out.

Very charming game! I feel it really needs some description for the rooms and a lot of times I felt like having to guess what type some guitars are.

Nice, a bit sad indeed that the randomizer give you impossible instructions.
Control are smooth, but the player should first turn then move in my opinion, it'S hard to place thing in the right position because you keep moving into it!

I don't know what kind of a millionaire you have to be to buy all these vintage guitars xd
I admire the amount of guitar you added in your game, but seems like randomizer gives you impossible instructions sometimes. Anyway, it's a good result for 48 hours, good luck!

Nice work! I really like that this theme encouraged people to make games about their nerdy hobbies :)

On small criticism I have is that the movement doesn't feel quite right. I think character controllers are tough to get right, even in a simple game like this, but they make a really big difference for the overall experience. A little bit of momentum, more responsiveness, etc. would go a long way.

I was impressed by the size of the environment. It feels like a guitar collector's mansion. Good work overall!

Very nice game! As a musician myself, I really dug the idea of having to move around guitars :wink:
It could have helped to have the names of the rooms somewhere as a reference. When talking about the main bedroom I was quite unsure I was putting the guitars in the correct place.
The challenges are good.
Grats!

Very nice concept. @mdotedot "Ha Ha .. a game about guitars and not having audio :D" - I can relate to this ;-).
@niterich I used to have one guitar and one piano. I sold them. Now it is sorted. I miss them both, though.
Good job.
