This is such a healing experience considering i MURDERED my 3ds when i was tryna repair it irl.... I still have the parts in a bag so I can hopefully reassemble it someday
I installed this game via the itch.io app and the only compressed file I could find was a gz(ip) file with the file manifest in it having gotten this error (except that only the C++ Runtime was missing) - I'm not surprised as I have DirectX installed and given the dozens of games I have played on this machine I also have just shy of a dozen MS Visual C++ runtimes installed so either your one is very old (I've everything more recent, 32 and 64-bit) or the ones already installed are not being checked... this is an issue because there is a limit to the number of times I want this single library installed, thank you (especially since nothing is kind enough to uninstall it once they are done with it :( - least of all MS :( :(
As a quick fix I would recommend is downloading the game from the site instead than using the app! If you do that you should find a folder that, once unzipped, presents the .exe and 2 folders (picture below):
In the meantime me and one of the progs are trying to wrap our head around what happens when using the itch.io app- it's the first time we're hearing of something like this, so we're sorry for the inconvenience!
No problem, thank you for the workaround and apologies... it seems that the app is not so popular though it is pretty useful for my gaming needs! (I guess a lot of devs might not find it so useful? But for me it is a better version of Steam! :D - faster, simpler and with a better selection of good games ;)
Thank you again and once I've given the game a fair try I'll leave a review :)
Let us know if it works!! We are currently trying to address as many bugs and recurring issues as possible and- it's super understandable the itch app might be a better choice for many people!
Hey there! I had so much fun with your game. The atmosphere and overall color choice is so soothing. I loved the simplified but noticeable attention to detail when it comes to fixing consoles. I may have encountered a few bugs but it also may have been user error. Either way, I hope you don't mind but I made a Let's Play of my experience with your game. I can't wait to see more. 😄
I really really loved this game! Such a shame it was only 3 consoles, I'd love to have more things to repair :') Thank you so much for your hard work! <3
love this game. literally one of the best repair games i played in a while. hoping to see more content in the future! (and for some reason lunching through playnite crashes the game... i hope this could be looked into in the future
Incredibly enjoyable game. I love the relaxing atmosphere, a stark difference from my experiences doing this kind of work in real life. Hope to see the game continue to grow!
Very cute and fun game! I ran into some bugs that made it impossible to finish the level twice and the screwdriving often took very long since the animation has to finish, but honestly they didn't spoil my experience in the long run :)
the game really seems cute and relaxing just by looking at it but sadly my mac is too old for the game :') my mac version is 11.7.10 but it said I need version 12.0.00 or more to play
am I the only person having the issue that theres no new requests after you repair the first three? Or is that suposed to happen? :( this game is rlly adorable but this is bugging me
i couldnt beleive that i saw this game on itch.io this should go on steam and that its free it just blew my mind the art stile is amaing and the main mechanics are too this hsould cost mone (well not really you know what i mean, im broke
really good game 10 out of 10 people would recommend it
The game is really soothing, and I really like the vibe ^^. It reminds me of games like A Little to the Left.
I do have a few minor criticisms, of course. For example, the to-do list should be in order, at least for the tutorial. Additionally, there should be the ability to add or change elements in the manual.
I also encountered a major bug that crashed my game. When I removed the cover where the battery was, dismantled everything, and then put it back, I was able to place the new battery on top of the old one. When I pressed R, it just crashed. Maybe there should be a visual effect when you have the old battery.
On the Game Joy, I was able to stack two chips on top of each other as well.
It's a shame about all these crashes because the game is really good, and I would have liked to see more of it. But overall, it's really well done.
Thank you a bunch for your feedback, your constructive criticism and your bug report!!
We're working on improving it by listening to what you all have to say, which is extremely helpful. If you want to keep following us and give us suggestions, feel free to join our Discord Server!
I love this game, its so fun to play and really satisfying!! Sadly I wasn't able to finish the last repair since it kept crashing while I was midway through with a pop-up saying "there was a fatal error!" which was kinda annoying but i'm hopeful that it'll get fixed in the future! 10/10 experience :D
Thank you so much :3 The bug has been cornered and we are 99,99% sure it has been fixed. We're currently testing the new build to make sure it's stable.
If you want to stay up to date, feel free to join our Discord Server!
very cute game!!! this is exactly the kind of niche genre i love. maybe i'm being silly and missed something obvious, but how do you charge the batteries in the first repair? i put everything back together and i thought the solution would present itself when i flipped the console back over, but it doesn't move when i try to do that. it's fine if that's intended, i'm just not sure what to do.
sidenote: i love that you scroll the mouse wheel back to unscrew, and forward to screw in. it's that special attention to controls that really complete games like these
Hey! To change the batteries you have to unscrew the smaller lid, remove the old one which will be moved to the waste bin, then insert the new one and screw everything back together :) Hope it helped!
And thank you SO much for the compliments and for appreciating that detail hehe it warms my heart knowing you liked it ❤️
Hey hey! Thank you so much :) If you managed to send us a screenshot it would be amazingly helpful!
Most of the bugs have been fixed so far thanks to your amazing support and I will post a new build in a couple days. If you want to stay up to date, feel free to join our Discord Server!
INCREDIBLE. honestly, i dont know why this is free. even though it is short, it is so lovely and so relaxing. its pretty simple, but still requires you to flex your brain a decent amount. if this was a fully fledged game, which might be your guys' plan, it would be in the organizing games hall of fame along with unpacking and a little to the left!! the sounds were great and so were the visuals. one suggestion, i would recommend adding more items in the shop. you can buy them all with 200 left over just from your first job. great game and, if it does continue to progress and get updated, i cant wait to see it become a more incredible game!!
!!! Thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts ❤️❤️
Yes, we're currently working (at the moment trying to re-organize because we were not expecting this incredible support) on expanding it and creating a longer game with a lot more customization.
If you want to join us in our journey and help us with new ideas and suggestions, feel free to join our Discord Server!
Super cute game & clearly made with love. on the gamejoy repair there seems to be a bug where if you put the batteries in before taking the back off, you cannot put the battery cover back on at the end. If you put the batteries & the cover on before taking the back off you are then unable to put the back on at the end. Thank you for this lovely free game <3
looks great so far! tho when i try to do my first repair and put the screwdriver in my cursor glitches and is unable to move away from the spot i clicked, the only way to fix it is to reset the repair but i cant do anything without removing the screws!!
Hey! Thank you so much :) That is definitely our plan for the next future! If you want to keep following us and/or give ideas and suggestions, you are welcome to join our Discord Server!!!
for some reason with my laptop trackpad i can't take the back off the first item, even with all the screws removed. kind of a bummer that figuring out how to do it is unintuitive, at least for me.
loved this game! super short cozy experience! I really liked that you were able to decorate the consoles after fixing them, but I wish that there was a little more variety in the fixes overall aside from the same chip mechanisms. But for a short free experience, it's really well executed! Look forward to seeing more from y'all
Hey hey! Thank you so much for your feedback, we really appreciate it and it means the world to us <3
After delivering a stable demo here, we'll be working on a complete game :) If you want to stay up to date/give us suggestions feel free to join our Discord Server!
I cannot stress enough how much I enjoy this game before I say this, but in it's current state it is unplayable for me. In the first repair the battery is finicky in whether the game recognizes that i have replaced it or not. I had to reset twice before i was able to finish. Once i moved onto the second level the repair actually went smoothly until the very end, when I attempted to put the battery cover back on it would just go back to it's place on the desk. Very cute game, I love the style and the gameplay, but I'm not going to play if I have to continuously reset to get a lucky game-state. Keep up the great work, however!
Hi! Thanks a lot for taking the time to write this super detailed report!! <3 We're super glad to hear you like it and we've been working since the first feedbacks to fix these bugs! :)

hehehe my first attempts at repairing/modding old consoles went... pretty much the same lol I'm sure you will make it!
It doesn't work for me. i try to download but it says something is missing. does anyone in windows also have this problem?
Hey! Did you unzip the folder? If not unzipped it will show you this error

my mac version is 11.7.10 but it said I need version 12.0.00 or more to play
Hi hi! Sorry for the late reply :)
I'm unsure whether there's a way to get around it or it's Unreal's fault. I'll ask the programmers!
And thank you so much <3
Well that was absolutely delightful and relaxing! I love how round and playful your takes on the console designs were.
Thank you! ❤️❤️ I'm a fan of cute and round designs and it was such a fun experience to design them.
I'll be doing more of them for next puzzles!
This is absolutely wonderful! Such a cute and precious game <333
Thank you so much!! So glad you enjoyed it ❤️
This is such an amazing game , it's very well polished . The graphics are so beautiful and I loved working on the game sytems.
Thank you so much!! And thanks for the video!
You’re welcome , it’s such a cute relaxing game 😊

Bug report!
When you take a board with a chip already on, then put it back it, you can place chips on top of each other.
Hey! Thank you so much for reporting the bug <3
Is it a little repair shop of horror
It is not : (

Very relaxing game but sadly crashed while I'm enjoying it. I'll screenshot the error later if I encountered this again!
5 stars.

Here, It randomly crashes while I'm playing the game. It doesn't give me any details what caused the fatal error.
Hi! Thank you so much, we have uploaded a new build that fixed a couple bugs that could have caused it :)

If I can't repair my DSi I hope I can at least repair this a digital console
Edit: Turns out I can't do that either because Unreal Engine doesn't support my graphics card.
Hi! Could you tell us what's your graphics card? :)
GeForce 920M. It's not supported and the drivers can't be upgraded
loved this game! super short cozy experience!
