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
Yeah I probably could have zoomed out a little. Thank you for playing, your game was a lot of fun as well
Really cute! A little bit messy sometimes but i think it's intended to be like that!
Thanks, it can be a little chaotic
Pretty good entry! Love the aesthetics :)
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.
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.
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!
Ah, it's really cool you're taking feedback to heart like that! Nice work! :)
Took some time to figure it out but very original game.
Pretty well rounded overall. Very chill. Solid first jam.
Thank you my friend, definitely room for improvement but had a ton of fun.
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.
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!
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!
I saw the score listed ok, I'm talking about the highscore =)
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
