Touch Mechanic: a good idea with a bad title

We think the idea of a game about fixing cars is really cool. We imagine learning (just) a bit about engines and other automotive components as we perform simplified motions to repair busted parts. We also like the idea of having fake cars to tune, without the cost and danger of real ones.

If it's got a timer and a whacked-out storyline, it could even be a sort of Trauma Center without all the gross people-insides. So we're actually pretty impressed by the announcement of Kando Games's Touch Mechanic, as well as these first screenshots.

The name, however, has got to go. It doesn't exactly convey the right message. Unless it does, in which case we take back the part about it being a good idea.
