Prepare for Launch
Created for Shovel Jam 2025 - Theme: Just get started!
Disclaimer/Spoiler: The instructions for the "100107" puzzle can be a bit confusing, so here’s a quick explanation: The sequence "10010" represents the path - 0 means left, 1 means right. The 7 is the target number the counter needs to display in order to open the bridge above. Hope that helps :)
Story:
You’re a robot, stranded on a forgotten planet. Your only goal: start the ship and escape.
But the path to launch is blocked by puzzles, broken systems, and old tech.
Use logic, precision, and patience to reactivate each station and prepare the ship for departure.
Can you start the launch sequence and leave this world behind?
Or will you fail… before anything even begins?
Just get started.
Controls:
AD – Move
E – Cut the Rope
R – Respawn
WASD – Crane
Q – Toggle the crane's magnet

I just noticed that stereo panning doesn't work properly in the browser, and it's too late to fix it. Some sounds might be louder or unbalanced in certain areas - sorry about that!

Beautiful presentation but surely you don't expect me to add up 100107 in increments of 5? There's no other hints and with the 3 buttons available to me that's my only option, nothing else to interact with, so I just stopped playing.
Yeah, it’s supposed to be the way you’re taking, 0 meaning left and 1 meaning right. At the bottom there is that counter thing, you have to get it to 7. Multiple people are complaining about that, and I really made it unclear, so I’m sorry 😅
It's all good, you can't expect a one week jam game to get everything right.
