Fun game. Fun soundtrack too. Made me want to put on platform shoes and super flared disco pants. I resisted the temptation and am a better man for it.

This game has a nice concept, but poorly executed. All the levels are easy and simple which I like, but the physics in this game and the poor worker controls (especially the hitboxes when dealing with multiple workers) make it extremely frustrating to get them to do things. Otherwise I believe this game has a great amount of potential.

Actually you don't have to make these guys bring the cargo to the base. You can pass the level moving the crates with nothing but your construction. This is useful tip for level 12 from space pack.

I'm not sure why these guys need to cram that elephant into a tiny rocket ship, but the more important question is "how?"

This gets very frustrating, very quickly. The inability of the editor to move existing points makes bridge design into a tedious sequence of deleting things, trying to draw them again, not quite getting it right, deleting them again. And then you discover that the walkway sections can't be as long as steel sections so you have to start all over again. The concept is a really good one but the gameplay makes it impossible to enjoy. Seriously, did you play test this *at all*?

i dislike how this becomes more about timing when to start and stop your person, instead of it being about making interesting challenges, it's a clicking puzzle. i was hoping to have more challenge from the bridge building, and finding interesting work around, and less about having to time stuff right so that your person doesn't walk off the edge. still a good game though, just not what i expected/hoped for.

the powerup should work something like once u used it on that level, it will always be there even when u replay the lv

Building would be much easier if hotkey for eraser were somewhere close to other hotkeys (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). I wouldn't have to look at my keyboard each time to find 0. For example Q would be perfect.

A bit too easy... after reaching the 3rd area, I'm finding the cranes give too much flexibility by being able to move in 2 dimensions. You can literally hang a small platform under the crane, load the movers on, move them to the objects, then move them back to loading area. Limit cranes to moving in a single dimension (up/down OR left/right, not both), or you trivialize the last zone. I do like the crane idea though.

On many of the construction levels you can just put a small piece of wood on a crane and move the objects around. You can get well below the K.I.S.S on many levels because of this.

I very, very much disagree with biggumby on the movement thing. Perhaps it could be easier to control, but saying it's unnecessary is just absurd. Yes, all I care about is whether or not my bridge works too...except my bridge is far less likely to work when multiple guys are trying to cross it at the exact same time or dashing over it and breaking it when just stopping them for a moment in the middle makes them cross successfully. I agree that having an auto move option for the people who, for some crazy reason, wouldn't want to have control over the movers might be a good solution, but by god do not remove movement control! I can't believe anyone who played the first game would advocate returning to the way it was...

I still wish it'd save your designs so that you wouldn't have to start a level over from scratch when you come back to it.

Cranes should have limited range, you can make a platform and put your worker wherever you want, making it easy to cheat.

For any level with the movable hook, you can do it with only three pieces. A triangle of a walk base and two woods (or strongs or steels) connecting its ends with the hook. Move you dude on it, move the whole thing to the item, get the dude to shove the item onto the thing, then move the whole thing to the end. Repeat for all items.
Two notes: 1) this can take a while, but is an easy way to get the kisses; 2) you may need to hook the walk of the thing slightly under the edge of the environment to avoid swinging and for the item to be able to be moved onto it rather than the dude just kicking it to pieces.
Of course, you can build better contraptions for levels that have a higher kiss limit than 3, but there's your base ;)

informage27: I totally agree. I won't try to get the best bridge on first try anymore, just add things if I think it works already, move slowly (you also get points for that), so that I'm sure I can easily get a better score, once I need it. A game urging you to get low scores at first is just completely weird.

You can get 500 gold coins in a single level, literally. Make a simple bridge that works, you will have $xxxx savings. Spend ALL your savings on clutter (pieces not connected to the bridge). Win the level (with $0 savings), then replay it, but with $10 savings (by reducing the clutter in $10). Replay again, each time saving $10 more. You get 2 gold coins for improved score every time.

Maybe I'm wrong here, I've only played a few levels, but the coin award system seems seriously flawed. You receive 5 coins for completion, 5 for KISS, and 2 for score improving. In other words, to maximize coins, you should start by building the most expensive bridge first and improve on it bit by bit to constantly get the 2 bonus? Seems like a bad way to reward the player. :/

These guys have no respect for any furniture. The lamp was knocked over and rolled ON the lamp shade. I rate the game 10/10, but the movers a 2/10

For those with an issue with direction management, it becomes quite necessary in the later levels. Also the later levels seem to consist mainly of: 1. Create basket 2. catch item in basket 3. Manoeuvre item to end.

I keep getting an internal error ticket ID IE-KSDRL cannot save game data upon opening the game... Wish I could play :(

Nice game, but it should be possible to move the end points of any piece just by dragging it, instead of erasing and putting it back again

To be perfectly honest, going for the K.I.S.S. award badge takes far too long to be worth it. I guess it's called "Avaricious Architect" for a reason.

So far I've been... frustrated by terrible physics, a bad looping song, and poor design play. The idea that some levels are only "kiss" by spending a limited resource that doesn't stay on the level if you exit is a design flaw as well. If I activate "cheats" on a level they should stay till I delete my save.
