Congratulations, you have been selected to use the brand new Shape Crafter. You this machine to make square parts into all sorts of shapes such as: toy cars, rulers, and even pie! Don't forget to listen carefully to each of your client's demands, and manufacture with care.
Score is controlled by how well a part was placed upon a shape. A part being fully on will yield 1 point. A part partially on will yield 0.5 points. A completely failed placement will subtract 1 point.
Controls: space to control the arm, and mouse to click on icons. Click the paint bucket to change the colour of the part you are using.
NOTE: If you are a headphone user turn the computer volume down.
I'm not sure exactly what I'm supposed to do, even after reading the directions again. Interesting premise, though. I like the little musical notes when you finish/fail a contract, too.
Honestly, not really sure what I am supposed to do on this. I am not really understanding how the "score" goes up, I don't really know why I would change the colors. I was thinking I had to fill the shapes, but the time given was not enough to do this at all. Even then, my score was never going up, and when it did it seemed to be completely random.
Quote a lot of exceptions on Linux - nice game, though. Only thing that bugged me is the launcher. It simply "opened" the downloaded jar file (which in my case opened my file manager). It'd probably be better if you ran something like "java -jar $jarPath" to start the game.
Took me a bit to figure out what I was supposed to be doing. I think would've been better if there was a stronger correlation between the shapes we're placing and the actual shape we're trying to construct - like actually having to put it together like a puzzle.

*Ka-chunk* ... *Ka-chunk* ... *Ka-chunk* ... ^ Me on the last level ^ I thought the game was pretty intuitive and to me it felt kind of like a bare-bones rhythm game. It was but changing colors was random as far as I could tell and really ruined my groove.
AhAH. It took me a while to realize you press space again to place the piece. Sometimes I would win with a wildly misshapen shape, while others I would fail with what I thought was a spot on shape, but...it evened out ^_^ I like the game though! Cool idea too!
