Owns much bones. The essence of game design captured in masterful strokes, never displaying a moment of doubt.

Kudos, sir. Kudos.

I really like the idea. You actually did something other than "you only get one life". Would have probably been better if it was an "approve" button instead, as the player is left not interacting at all for long periods of time as is. Also, there could be some sort of upgrades to spend the money on.

Either way, good job.

Interesting concept, but very monotonous.

Nice graphics, interesting idea, but not very fun :(

loren 2013-12-16 05:22

agreed!

Xmas sweatshop :-)

"FAILURE! FAILURE FAILURE!" Heh. Quite good for just an hour.

Would need more to break monotony after a while, but a nice concept.

Good concept, nice graphics, and an excellent simulation of being QA for a conveyor belt. Unfortunately, the main difficulty for that job is fighting boredom, which is probably the least useful enemy for a game.

This is one of the most creative games I have seen so far.

Obviously, there was supposed to be 7 carrots in the same package xD

Good simple game, captures the essence of factory life.

rubna 2013-12-17 18:44

Great for something made in an hour xD Great stuff man xD

roguenoodle 2013-12-17 19:27

Impressive what can be made in an hour!

gnerkus 2013-12-17 19:41

I'll echo Coblynau's comment by saying it captures the essence of factory life. I would have preferred if it didn't, though. It's a little too passive most of the time. A little music would have spiced it up a bit.

This game is very, very good for a one hour jam. I wonder what you'd have done if you had used 48 hours (I've seen your awesome art on your website).

Pretty interesting idea a "factory worker simulator".

godstroke 2013-12-17 21:25

Great for just 1 hour, I felt the same discomfort (as in a good way, for mood) as I felt while playing "Papers Please". Nice.

It was fun at the start but needs something added to it to mix it up a bit, liked the graphics and did feel a bit nervous getting 6 good kits in a row.

Great Job getting a complete game out. Simple but creative.

yatan 2013-12-21 03:16

Nice graphics for an one hour game :)

shigor 2013-12-22 13:40

This is chore, not game... makes me appreciate my life a bit more as I'd probably die if I had to work like this :)

xrm0 2013-12-28 12:11

Nice concept. I wish there was a "approve" button. Not fun.

jfroco 2014-01-06 02:02

Interesting ideas... please try to expand it to have more levels with different items.... and release it for iOS :) It would be great to have an Accept button as well.. Congrats.
