Love the immersion, I really felt like an overworked Amazon employee ! Great game !
my first run i was trying to pack everything into an aptly sized box, but then realized they were coming WAY TOO FAST for that, so i started just getting the biggest box i could afford and stuffing everything in. once I did that I was able to get to... drumroll please.... NEGATIVE $83000. Great game!
Great minds think alike. Easy mode still feels very fast paced but I like the idea and it's fun to play
That was fun ! my S box was not ready for the HUGE bike showing up :D The game is a bit difficult but playing on the trackpad maybe doesn't help ahah
That was hard...😮💨
haha yeah, what profit did you manage?
I ended up eventually getting some profit! I count that as a win. But yeah, as others have said, would love an "even easier" difficulty that just has a slower rate of items. I could not box that fast! But I love the atmosphere, and didn't really run into any bugs, except once when the screen locked in the "hold right to rotate object" when I wasn't selecting anything. Overall, I had fun!
Everytime someone says make the easy mode easier I feel self satisfaction because I brought that up to patch in before we uploaded lol
Thanks for strengthening my point! :)
I was terrible at the game but I love the silly atmosphere :D
okay so I was not very good at this BUT the game oozes a very nice charm. Nice entry :)
I really appreciate this! and dont worry its not you, we just got to good at our own game and made easy mode still pretty hard(especially with my JANK grab code) :^)
Honestly really like the chaotic factory feel, there is a great little game here. As others have said I think it is somewhat of a difficulty spike to be able to enjoy that game which is a shame as I was getting some real primal enjoyment with packing the boxes which would then be interrupted with the game over screen. Would love to see an sandbox/endless mode to just chill to. On the whole a great little experience.
Thanks for the feedback! Its funny you say that, I did actually pitch that idea! But they insisted the easy mode was chill enough, I will definitely re-add the chill mode though thanks for bringing it up! :)
Interesting concept! It was a bit challenging but I got the hang of it :D
Yeah I am seeing that as a common response. whoops haha
Thanks!
It's a bit too hard. The best strategy is to throw everything off the conveyor belt, lol. But the concept is pretty good.
Thanks for the feedback! :)
How did you play around the timer which penalizes you if you dont ship a box?
Actually, I didn't drop everything. I just do it when my boxes aren't ready.
Super interesting like working in a factory. A little bit tired tho :/ Liked all the designs - they created a vibe of conduction codes. Hmmm ... indeed it's a little bit difficult to me. I tried 3 easy ones but still can not get a good score.
Yeah we thought it was too easy/boring so did a last minute code change to make it more chaotic over repetitive.. not sure that was a good choice LOL
Thanks for the feedback! :)
Neat style and fun concept, I suck at video games unfortunately so didn't get too far. Good job, super creative!
Dont worry its not just you!
Our playtesters got too experienced so we upped the challenge and well... haha
Thanks for the feedback, keen to get home and try your game!
I failed 4 captchas to rate this game (totally not a bot I swear)! I love the game concept, but it gets a bit too hard too quickly (even on easy mode)!
A sprint button and mouse sensitivity controls would be great too (it’s quite hard to rotate items).
Overall pretty fun, it has the makings of a good game if fleshed out more!
Was the current mouse sensitivity slider not working? I kind of rushed it so it was also janky on my end... thanks for the feedback lol!
Really neat idea! I saw the note about the web build which is all I've been able to play yet but I wanna check out the exe version once I'm home. Thanks for making this!
Please let me know how it goes! Only made the web version so if people are worried about virus' and downloading a ton of games for the jam but it runs like ASS
Appreciate the warm feedback! :)
Fun but a bit too difficult
Fits the theme. Nice clean presentation. I wish it wasn't so easy to accidentally flip the boxes upside down.
We did plan on making all the physics more tight, but given the time we didnt want to break anything for the jam
I get the same problem as you flipping my boxes....
Good feedback! :)
Instructions clear, it's really fun and a good idea. The problem is the difficulty. Even on easy the items just keeps pooring non-stop and the character you play is too short for medium/big boxes and in general the conveyor belt. Really good game tbh !
Yeah the design to have it overwhelming was an uneasy choice haha. Thanks for the feedback!
It’s throwing me an error. something about .pck file not found or renamed. Anyway the visuals attracted me here so good job on that!
Thanks for the feedback! what version of windows are you?
Pretty fun! Managing the time and trying to stuff everything in a box while making sure no items get through is challenging! Personally loved the clipboard explaining the mechanics.
Thanks for the warm feedback! If you pack yourself in a box it actually unlocks another page for the clipboard too! :)
