Punchy Jam Plant

Punchy Jam Plant

A jammin' jam game  written for a game jam. In this rhythm game, you work in a factory. Watch the plate as it zooms down the conveyor belt. Then, activate your claw machines in time with the music, to build and serve jars of jam... and other stuff.

IMPORTANT:  Take the time to calibrate

When properly calibrated, your actions should feel "tight" and not a sloppy mess.

• Audio latency will depend on your system - and even vary across plays for the same system - so there's no single "right answer". You'll probably land on a value between 40msec and 200msec.

• Avoid using wireless speakers or headsets when playing, such as Bluetooth; they add latency.

Controls

This game requires a keyboard. Some  screens and levels will happen to work with other inputs, but others will not.

Action	Press Key	Comments
Drop claw (the main thing you'll be doing)	SPACE or ENTER or Any letter A-Z	Only works when the plate is near an activator.  Try to line up the orange triangles. Personally I like the J key. Starting in Level 6: If the claw is holding a letter block, the block becomes the letter you typed.   If you type an impossible letter, or a non-letter, then you will serve the plate instead of dropping a letter.
Punch plate	DELETE or BACKSPACE	Not required until Level 2 You DO NOT have to line the plate up with an activator. Punch power resets after each activator is passed.
Pause factory or Resume factory	PERIOD (".")	Not required until Level  5
Abort level	TAB (or click the X in the top right corner)
