Joblin Simulator (Stuffing/WG Puzzle Game) -Bugfix v1.03

Thanks for the feedback, and glad you like the game!

The turn around command does in fact make a left hand u-turn every time!

Just finished playing this myself. Really fun game. Loved the puzzles. Some were really hard and I had to wrack my brain a few times before I finally got them. The behind the scenes coding to make this all work in rpgmaker must have been immense, so my hats off to you for that. Also always love me some Joblins.

The controls in the beginning took some time getting used to, but having the hint to use the mouse for this game really helped out.

Overall great game!

Comments:

I have to say I was surprised to see a little puzzle game like this being made in RPG maker. It always amazes me to see how devs bend engines to their will. Over all a fun little puzzle game.

All in all, I really have only two major issues with the game. First, the UX is a bit problematic. The 90-degree rotation icons are very similar making them hard to read at a glance. Also, the window showing the Goblin is quite cool but is a bit cluttered and distracting. Also, I wish I saw the goblins increasing size play a role in the puzzles instead of being more or less window dressing.

Otherwise, a very fun puzzle game!

Comments:

Very good use of the theme, though I have some complaints about how unintuitive/clunky it can feel at times. Still impressive work on the cutscene assets and puzzle design in such a short period, though I would work on the difficulty curve, as it seems all over the place with early puzzles sometimes being harder than later ones.
