Mine took me longer than I expected, but here it is!

I wrote it in Haxe with some friends from school.

This is great, Circuit! It's very rough around the edges but as soon as I tried it a few times I had a bunch of ideas how you might improve it and/or make it into a more interesting game. Are you planning to do anything more with it?

idea dump!
 - Mark text with the color of the machine it mentions, for example only the words "memory arcades" would be pink. For clarity.
 - Give players a way to move the machines away from the wall (it is a forklift after all)
 - TELL ME WHY I FAILED when I lose
 - Levels with walls in different places.

Something like this would also work for a sokoban-type game with pre-made levels, but that's a whole project in and of itself.

I'm glad the losing experience is frustrating that is intentional. The idea was to simulate the stupidity of how trademarks are handled in the US/ King's abuse thereof. If you read the text under the game it'll give you some context.

Thanks for the suggestions! I don't think I'm going to work on this any more, no. The source is on GitHub if you're interested: https://github.com/euclio/candy-jam-crush-saga
