As a crane conductor, you move things from one place to another. Some people abuse of your kindness, and you get involved into increasingly weird requests.

One thing is sure: you are good at moving things!

Control a large scale crane with incredible physics, inside a beautiful hand crafted city populated with charismatic people. Also there’s a dog.

You can alternatively play the game on itch, but the web export is clearly an inferior version and has display issues on certain objects, use it only if you can’t download the game.

Neat game, very fun, had a great time swinging and hitting the boss with big metal bars... and bonus marks for the doggy! :smile:

Nice little game! I switched to controller as the keyboard controls looked a little awkward but the controller felt nice. I feel like the audio could be toned down a little, was slightly intense. Other than that, had fun with it and a couple of the deliveries had me laughing. Good job!

I'm not sure what was going on, but it seemed like the camera was in an odd spot. I couldn't really see the crane and I couldn't find the bar. Controls seemed to be working, but it was hard to see what was happening most of the time.

It is actually really fun and with nice humor. Well done.

Hello. Nice game. But it take me some time to begin, because, the A and B buttons are inverted (for me). Also, it was not obvious that the camera was set on the boss at first, and that I should end the exchange with him to have the camera move with the crane.

The concept is great and I loved the humorous touches throughout. Well done =)

Nice game, I liked the physics based gameplay and the graphics!

This is great. Very well done! Loved that the tasks kept getting more and more ridiculous, especially the final one :) The only thing missing is a bit of background music!

This is a cute game! I love the physics and the humor in the dialogue. My one gripe is that the zoom feature is not mentioned in the tutorial message, and you can't see certain important things without zooming in, so I almost got stuck. I'd add it to the help message and also render things from further away so that you can see them clearer. The shadow of the object/crane hook should also show from further up so you can see where you're depositing your stuff/people!

Loved the idea, great job implementing it in just 3 days!

This game is very fun to play, and above all funny. There is a lot of humour in for example an old lady thanking you for dragging her face to the ground across the street and then just laying there motionless on the ground. :D The dialogue was also good and the crane movement while being fiddly like it should was better than most similar games I've played. The only thing I was personally missing would be some whimsical background music. Great game!

Good entry - it works fine on my side. The grabbing and moving items with crane is fun - it misses shadows a lot (to better determine where the hook is - at least in web version). Reminded me of Half Life 2 level with crane - bonus points for nostalogia!

Keep up the good work!
