Controls:
UP arrow: release the rope, lowering the hook
DOWN arrow: roll up the rope, raising the hook
LEFT arrow: roll up the other rope, raising the crane arm
RIGHT arrow: release the other rope, lowering the crane arm
TOUCH a block with the glowing point (hook) to attach it to the rope.
SPACE: release the attached block;
Stack all the blocks in the target position to complete the level, it's harder than it looks!

First entry on LD and first "game" too, what a day!
Well it's more of concept/prototype, but still I'm satisfied with the result.
These 2 days were full of learning, discovering, curiosity and maybe some swearing because things never work the first time, and sometimes not even the 14th time... But that's part of the fun, right?
I think the whole first day was spent on blender trying to model the crane. I work with code daily but it's mostly websites and web apps, so this was completely out of my comfort zone. But because of that it's much more rewarding to have something done!
I'm a big procrastinator and also one of those people that start 1000 projects and never finish one, so it's a big goal to be able to click the submit button today :)
Things I wanted to implement but had to cut out:
- multiple levels with different configurations
- more realistic handling of the cargo rope, it should get shortened/lengthened when the crane arm angle changes
- title screen, victory screen
- customizable controls
- better graphics
- audio... sound effects didn't make it, unfortunately
Would love to get some feedback/ideas!
Can't wait to see what everyone made!
