Not too bad its pretty fun and entertaining to try and keep the candy away from the annoying kids but its really hard that the kids have physics that affect the player. But otherwise it pretty fun!
I'm glad you enjoyed the game. I am planning to tune the kids AI, so they are not as anoying as they are now. Thanks, for the feedback :)
Hey. I recorded a video about the Beginners Circle jam and included your game in it. If you want to cut your game out of the video, let me know. However, if you like the video, I make similar videos every day. I will be happy if you subscribe. Anyway, I enjoyed playing your game.
The idea is ok, a mob of ill-mannered children in a candy factory - what could go wrong? However the actual game - I can't win it, time limit is small, time extensions don't really help, and the main flaw - you can't grab and recycle children (but you really need to do that, because children keep coming and coming until you can barely do anything). I've seen couple of children disappearing, but I couldn't figure what causes that, and didn't find a way to manually trigger it. And controls are really weird btw, I think something like spacebar would work better than demanding to click left button (which works where the worker is, not where the mouse is, and that's confusing)
you are right, so far I've received a lot of feedback on the grab button, and now I don't know what was I thinking when I code it like that :p.
Many thanks for the comment ☺️
