How you got the convery belt working in top - down?

please tell?

Developer

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but I used vector move towards in the ontriggerstay method of the conveyor belt to move the items, using the direction of the belt as the vector. But I also have a devlog on my YouTube channel if you want to k ow more, there's a link in the description on the game page! 😊 Hope that answered your question, if not, please clarify and I will try again! 😊 

Submitted

thanks i watched the video it helped me a lot

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you found it useful! 😊 

Submitted

Really cool idea! It could do with some polishing, for example you can just move objects away from the conveyor belts. Also the dragging didn't seem very responsive, sometimes I had to try the same object multiple times before it let me drag. The art also looked very clean :)

Developer

Yeah there is a problem with dragging the items in a certain area sometimes, no idea why, spent a lot of time trying to figure it out but couldn't find a solution. Luckily nobody else has mentioned it I think 

Submitted

Nice idea and executed well !! Bit tough but fun! Good job!! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks! 

Submitted

It is a cool idea :) Just a bit difficult when the goals change, but the rest is fine, with a difficulty increasing over time ^^

Developer

Thanks! 

Submitted

Its really cool but, as other people allready said, you shoud build in a buffer time when the shift between goals happens.

Developer

Thanks, I thought about it, but landed on using the timer instead to add to the sense of chaos. Would have playtested other alternatives if I had more time haha

Concept and visuals are simple and fit well together - lets the player focus on the gameplay, especially as it ramps up. A suggestions -would be nice to add a buffer period between category switching. It can often happen that the items will drop in but the category will switch right before scoring and may count the item as wrong (e.g.. a red triangle 1 will drop into the 1 slot as soon as it changes to shapes and the triangle will no longer fit the circle that it turns into).

Thank you, and thanks for the feedback!

it tickles my brain in a very fun way, great idea for a small jam game. 

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

The game had a pretty simple yet interesting mechanic and it can get pretty chaotic and challenging at times, sometimes even too much. The music and graphics are simple but work for this type of game, even though I would have liked to have seen more and better sounds. The shift between numbers, shapes and colors makes it so you can get too comfortable, though it would have helped to get a few seconds where the conveyer belt stops before the switch happens. Overall, pretty fun game.

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the constructive criticism!

Submitted

Really cool idea. I enjoyed it a lot and this game definitely fit the theme!

Developer

thanks!

Submitted

Fun, creative and fit the theme -- it get's really chaos as the game progresses.

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it! 

Submitted

Amazing idea! Enjoyed the game :)

Developer

Thanks! 

Submitted

Nice game and concept. Seems easy but actually can be fairly difficult if you don't plan ahead. I think I may have encountered a bug though where the displays were wrong for the category. Really nice work though still. Good job!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it, but that bug doesn't sound good... Doesn't seem like anyone else has encountered it so that's good at least! 

Submitted

Great idea for a game! Definitely gets chaotic quickly. I also really liked the art style and the music was fun too! Great job, I really enjoyed this! 

Developer

Thank you! 

It is a very chaotic game(which is a good thing), I like the style of it and the idea behind it. Very fun👍.

Developer

Thanks! 

Submitted

wow very cute, I bet this works great on mobile

Developer

Thanks, it is playable on mobile as is actually

Submitted

don't like to ask but mind trying my jam and tell me what you thought?

Developer

Sure! 

Submitted

Very original idea and fits with the theme really well!

Developer

Thank! 

Submitted

I LOVE the UI and graphics design!!!!!!!

Developer

Thank you! 

Submitted

Great submission. I loved the art style - it was perfectly matched to the game and I liked that you kept it minimal. It was something of a mental challenge switching your attention from numbers to colours to shape - fun and addictive. Well done!

Developer

Thanks! 

Submitted

loved the art! nice work !

Developer

thanks!

Submitted

I really really liked the minimalist graphics! I found that the music fit the game in a very weird way. It was a little confusing figuring out what to do and I was very confused when the thing you were sorting switched. But I got it in the end. I didnt really see an increasing difficulty curve (was there one?) but I felt like the design of the map was pretty good. All-in-all, pretty good submission!

Developer

Thanks, I'm glad you liked the graphics! There is an increase in the difficulty, the speed slowly ramps up as your score increases(it's doubled at 20)
