A game in which you must control the arms of a boy in order to get back home.
Your goal is to get the box out of the lab and drop it infront of the cave.
This will open up the cave so that you can pass.

the controls are: wasd-q ijkl-o and space

wasd and ijkl:
control the arms as expected

q and o:
fully retract the arms

space:
switch the hand that can crab stuff (indicated by the particles)

I used libgdx and the basics for another game i was working on. That game only required simple collision handeling, so i made it myself. For that reason this game has fairly poor collision detection.

I had some nice music in this game too, but unfortunately this for some reason doesn't play after the file is compled.

update:
I have made a few slight changes 2 days after the contest;
-the music was included but didn't work before due to a bug
-the level was too short before so I altered it a bit
-fixed random crashes due to memory leaks
