Interesting and fun game! I also liked the art. I had situations where a package is stuck in the air (when a package is destroyed under it). Except that, good job!

Developer

Thank you for playing it!

Submitted

This is a very unique idea! It is fun, but quite challenging: one thing that makes it a bit hard is that you can be doing very well and then suddenly you let through a few bad packages and you loose everything all of a sudden. The start-up text is a little bit long, but I appreciated the humour :)

Developer

Awesome, thank you for playing! Your game was so cool!

Submitted

Oops. nice one for your first, looks like tetris but it isn't!

Submitted

Really amazing game, very smooth gameplay, awesome sound design, really good graphics, nice main character. Loved it! With alot of humour!

Developer

Thank you so much for your kind comments, and thanks for playing!

Nice game! I like this simple style of aesthetics that works very well. I'v also like the text at start to explain you how the game works with a little humor! :) (be careful, might be too long some some people). Really good job! Keep creating games!

Developer

Glad you liked it, thanks so much for playing!

Audio amazing. Movement great. Visual Cute. Gameplay: A little to much text at beginning, at some point I just let the game play itself and when I got red  I destroy everything and somehow got my % back.  This game has amazing potential with some easy tutorials at beginning.

Developer

Thank you so much!

Submitted

What a fun little game! I really liked the movement controls and how the flying felt really realistic. I was a little confused at first since the text based tutorial was quite hard to follow, but I actually thought you did a great job of explaining it in an image form in the description! Had fun playing :) Also love the jingle, very calm!

Developer(+1)

I’m glad you noticed the explanation in the description, although almost that exact image should have been in the game probably. Thank you for playing!

Submitted

Game is beatiful and audio is also perfect. That plop sound is really satisfying. Sadly I have to say that I didn't really get the gameplay :( a tutorial would have made it much better. Great job nonetheless :)

Developer

Yeah I needed just a little more effort in explaining everything, but I appreciate the feedback and thank you for playing! Making the plop sound was awesome fun haha

Developer(+1)

I actually revisited the description and added a little informational image on the different packages in case you wanted to check it out again. Thanks again for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

definitely better :)

Submitted

I really like the music and the art! But as other explained, it is a a little difficult to understand the gameplay. Anyway, great job for your first jam!

Developer

Thank you! I appreciate you playing, and I hope to make some updates afterwards :)

Developer

Enough people mentioned understanding so I went back and added a more descriptive image to the game page. Thanks again!

Submitted

this game as aesthetics.. Its clean and on point mechanics.

Developer

Awesome, thanks for playing!

Submitted

A good entry !! And very impressive for your first completed game jam !!
I had a bit of trouble really understanding everything that was going on, with the robot dysfunctionning and all but...yeah, it was fun !

Developer

Yeah if I spend time on a post jam version, I need a better intro with possibly a tutorial instead of the wall of text. Thank you for playing!

Submitted (1 edit)

Overall a really solid entry! The music and sounds were cute, the artwork was pleasing to look at, and the general idea of how you interpreted climbing was intuitive. The only thing I'd say is that it might help to put pictures of the boxes during the intro text at the beginning, or at least have the words matching the colors. It was a bit difficult to get a grasp of the game's concept with the wall of text.

Developer

Yeah on my list of things to add I wanted to drop one example of each box during the intro, but oh well. I’m learning that people don’t vibe with the wall of text very much haha. Thanks for checking it out!

Developer(+1)

I took your suggestion and since I was only allowed to edit the game page, I added an image of the boxes to the description directly. Hopefully that helps with understanding a little, and thank you again!

Yep yep, much clearer now! Glad to be of help 😊

Fun game, although it did take me a while to figure it out at first. Really love the graphics. I think it could be better if the screen was bigger or if the packages fell slower so that you could have more time to react  

Developer

Yeah I probably could have zoomed out a little. Thank you for playing, your game was a lot of fun as well

Submitted

Really cute! A little bit messy sometimes but i think it's intended to be like that!

Developer(+1)

Thanks, it can be a little chaotic

Submitted

Pretty good entry! Love the aesthetics :)

Developer

Thank you!

The aesthetics for this game are really great and I like the witty dialogue at the beginning but there are several problems with the gameplay. Although I like the dialogue, it's also an information overload. The keywords being in all caps helps a little but it really didn't help me understand the game much at all. I feel like the game could benefit from a short tutorial just to explain the basic mechanics.

Furthermore, while I like how out of control the game feels, I don't like how little of an impact I seem to have by flying around. Boxes freezing randomly is extremely frustrating and often I was left with a couple of blue box towers that I could do absolutely nothing about because they were fixed in place which wasn't a good feeling. The box physics are fun but also glitchy and it's possible to glitch boxes through the bottom of the platform by pushing down on it. If several red boxes fall down at once there's very little you can do about them just annihilating most of the boxes on the platform.

The key with games like these is to create a situation that feels chaotic and out of your control but still fair. Freezing boxes and the overwhelming randomness just makes you feel like you have no impact whatsoever and good money scores often feel more down to luck than anything. 

Overall, it's a great idea presented in a unique and charming way, but the execution could use a lot of work. Regardless, this is a pretty solid entry considering this is your first completed jam and I loathe to admit that I did a lot worse my first time lol. Nice job.

Developer

Yeah the glitchy-ness and the freezing boxes can be pretty brutal. I appreciate the feedback and look forward to making a post jam version where I hammer down on these issues.

Developer(+1)

I took your suggestions in mind about feeling out of control and added a little image to the description to define the types of boxes. Not sure if that helps a ton, but thought it would at least explain the game a little in case you get a chance to check it out again. Thanks!

Submitted

Ah, it's really cool you're taking feedback to heart like that! Nice work! :)

Submitted

Took some time to figure it out but very original game.

Pretty well rounded overall. Very chill. Solid first jam.

Developer

Thank you my friend, definitely room for improvement but had a ton of fun.

Submitted

Loved the game.  Only one thing that I saw that seemed to be an bug.


If you hold an package for long enough it can get locked in midair.  I would suggest maybe no locking.  Or just make it so it has to be on the platform/other Blocks that are locked.

Developer(+1)

Yeah that freezing in the air gave me a headache over the weekend. I added a little funny note in the intro about how packages freeze, and I experimented with a few ways of making them drop but couldn’t find any that felt satisfying, so I just left it. I agree with you though, that’s definitely not ideal. Thank you for playing and the suggestion!

I really liked this one! The art was nice, the game was interesting, and the relation to the theme was great. The only issue was that I couldn't find a place where the highscore was listed, so that might be an issue,  but otherwise  good job!

Developer

Thank you! I have the score in the lower right corner as the “money” you’ve earned, but I should have displayed that a little more clearly. Thank you for playing, I really like your game a lot!

Submitted

I saw the score listed ok, I'm talking about the highscore =)

Developer(+1)

Oh whoops, haha I guess there is no high score, even locally. For some reason I thought displaying the score was okay, but I may have messed up. No worries though, thanks again
