For now, this is my favorite! I really like the idea (very unusual) and the game seems to work pretty fluent. I wish it supoorted touch input in desktop browsers (at least on my Win8 laptop using Firefox, that doesn't seem to work), but that's not very important. If you do a post-compo, I'd like to see a relaxed mode, which simply decreases the speed.

Was a bit buggy for me. Mr. Fluffy sometimes disappeared and sometimes ended up on the left side of the screen, which made it quite hard to get those kitten pics to their recipients.

I love it, and not just becuase its cats! :3 Twas a lot of fun and was really fricken difficult.

Strange idea (not in a bad way!) and I liked the visuals. Extremely difficult though! A difficulty select would be a nice addition.

Interesting. Got a bit hectic.

I think i just got fired..but how the machines can do messed up prints..awesome

Nice little speed game - graphics very good. Bad pathing made it a lot more difficult than it needed to be. Also audio was annoying :/

This was a fun game, it has me scrambling to make the never ending quota! The movement made it a bit hard to place objects at times though. The art style is very nice, pixel art rules (check out my game for some more pixel art) =] Great job guys.

Does a great job at showing how to play within the game itself thanks to the clean, simple visuals, and the theme is cute. The multiple control schemes is a nice addition, but none of them work quite perfectly and that adds to the already-stressful gameplay.

@JALgames Touch mode does work on mobile Chrome/Safari, so I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you.

@Kino333 @JALgames We plan on adding a "wave" system to slowly ramp up the difficulty.

@Marjie62 @awppy I started to work on better pathfinding, but ran out of time. It's on the post-competiton polish list!

I love this idea, but the controls were very difficult and frustrating. Once you picked up an item it was a bit dodgy trying to put it where it belonged. Still, very cute idea and the art is great.

delfino 2014-04-29 09:45

Fun, it gets crazy trying to keep up. Sometimes the controls seems to be a bit touchy but fun overall. Looks great too

The game design is great and it's pretty enjoyable. The art is also good because the visuals are simple and things are colour-coded for easy object recognition. Sometimes the cat will grab the wrong item though which can't be dropped easily sometimes when there are stacks forming everywhere and that's a bit frustrating.

Very nice aesthetic. Eventually, I just stopped worrying about trying to sort things and ran around with a can of spam watching his eyebrows wiggle.

Super well done game! I included it in part 4 of my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/as-BlCZWXm0

This is great! Although maybe increase the difficulty at a slower rate.

kristof 2014-05-01 09:47

Haha, that was fun! A bit too hectic though in my opinion. It should start a bit slower. Still a very good entry!

papygaragos 2014-05-01 13:15

Nice idea! I think this could be great with smoother controls and a proper difficulty curve

xaychru04 2014-05-01 13:53

The player is a bit hard to control, it would have been better with some pathfinding, but anyway, really cool game! The gameplay was nice, very stressing, and I liked the loading video reference! ^^

pancakecity 2014-05-01 15:26

Such lovely detail! I loved seeing the mistakes come out of the machines. I like the cat's character design, too.

soupwithbits 2014-05-01 15:51

Enjoyably frustrating!

stoo 2014-05-01 18:18

I like the idea and for the most part it's really well implemented with a hectic amount of tension. I found the controls really awkward though. I repeatedly found I wasn't in quite the right position to drop a parcel on the conveyor belt and one nudge up / down put me to far the other side to drop the parcel.

I enjoyed the eyebrows immensely on Fluffykin's. If not for those -1 to entire score. The game needs more eyebrows. Thanks!

I found the controls to be strange. It felt like collision was off and I couldn't pick up the items I was gunning for. Also, the audio was super grating.

That being said, I like the idea and the intensity of managing all three lines. I also liked the junk files that would get spit out. Nice mechanics. Also, the graphics are great!
