I enjoyed this game quite a bit! Got a score around 800 on my first attempt! You've managed to near perfectly model the impatience of delivery drivers! :joy: Good job

Nice little game, the range for placing stuff could have been slightly longer and the punishment for putting stuff in the bin should be somewhat more visible, I only noticed it in the end. Also I believe the points where only subtracted from the text but not the actual score, because at the end I had a score of 830 or so but close to the end I had about 200 ( I threw all the smelly socks away D:)
Good simple idea and very nice graphics, good job! :)
The idea is fun, and both the music and graphics is really good. I would have liked a bit better introduction to the game mechanics, and the 5 minutes was a bit short time. But overall a very well made LD game. Well done.
Stress game !! Very good
Haha the beeps of the trucks gave it a real sense of urgency but the music made you relax. I liked it :)
@johnnyo Thank you for the feedback. Unfortunatelly, score of 850 was a bug. It was not updating the UI, the 850 was a placeholder text. Now it works if you are up for another try :)
A well executed simple idea. Wish the controls were better, had a hard time positioning the boxes where I wanted. I also noticed that there were two trucks delivering boxes too late, oops.
Overall a pretty good Jam game, good job!
Neat idea. Got RNGed early on with a bunch of wet crates I couldn't place anywhere! >:(
This is a decent little puzzle game!
Yeah, RNG is not the best, however if that happens at the beginning, you can still drop the unwanted ones in the bin. Since it's the beginning the score drain will not affect you much.
Thanks for your comment and explaining me the voting system. Nice game - I will definitely play and rate.
Great gameplay! Simple, but effective. Good music and sound design! The graphics weren't super high-resolution or anything, but they were charming in their simplicity. I liked how each type of box was distinctive enough to tell apart at a glance, and that the color coding made it pretty easy to remember once each box did once you learned them all.
Since you asked for ways to improve the game: * I think having some informational screen before the game starts about how each box works. There were a few times I didn't understand what the tooltip meant and accidentally screwed myself. * The range for dropping boxes felt really small. Sometimes I felt like I had to be standing practically on top of the spot I wanted to drop a box on. * Hitting ESC takes you directly out to the main menu. There should probably be a pause screen or something instead of just completely booting you. * When taken back to the main menu, the mouse cursor doesn't reappear, so you can't click "New Game" again. * Sometimes trucks will put a box "inside" another box, so that two boxes occupy the same slot. I only saw this happen with the first slot in each row, but I'm not sure if that means it only happens to the first slot in the row or if it happened by chance.
Pretty much all of this stuff was understandable given the time constraint, but it's stuff I would expect to see fixed in a more full game, since it sounded like that's what you were aiming for. All-around a really fun game, and something I look forward to seeing the "full version" of!
***Nice game ! *** :smile: It was very fun, and well designed ! I understood that glass box should be on the top to be able to stack more crates, i also understood that red boxes can't be next to others and that blues must be at least on top of another one and the silver ones does nothing. But I didn't understand the restrictions of green and brown/orange crates, what are their "rules" ? Overall it's well designed, more lighting could be great and the menu could have a better design I think. ***Good luck !*** :thumbsup:
The idea is great and graphics are really cool. Although, the control seems off - when I grab a box it kind of shifts to the side and is not centered. Also found a bug - after going to the menu, there's no mouse. So I couldn't start game or exit. P.S - I have a 21:9 screen, maybe that's an issue
Nice one! Loved the music!
@antoined73, The brown (stinky) must have at least one space next to it, and the green one is sticky, meaning that you can pick it up only if it has no neighbours next to it (except maybe other sticky boxes).
Also, thanks for the feedback :)
For some reason, I don't really get the gameplay, I gameover like 10s after game starts (everyone seems to be cool with so I think I miss something that might be obvious). The graphics, music & modd are really nive, and it's a very funny take on the theme.
Don't know if it's just me but I couldn't get the game to work. I list the box but can't place it anywhere. Maybe I'm doing something wrong :thinking:
The music and graphics are awesome. You should have added music to the menu screen.
When you click escape the mouse disappears and I have to alt tab to get the mouse to appear.
@maxime-ferrieu and @leonlaci We were trying to fix some bugs and forgot to set the playtime back to normal. We would appreciate if you would be kind enough to try one more time now that it's set back to normal.
It works now. I rated the game.
It's a pretty fun concept. Maybe increase the range of which I can pick up stuff.
I don't know why, but in first 3 minutes (after getting score od 321) trucks completely stopped coming and there was nothing left to do for the next 2 minutes after which I just closed the game :/
But if we ignore that, the mechanics you attempted to implement were almost perfect - I just had hard time placing the boxes on other boxes on on ground when I wanted them to... I just had to look almost straight down most of the time.
Graphics, music and sounds were great though :)
Nice game!! Got really stressed after 5min of truck making noise :joy: Congrats guys!! :smile:
This is a very solid idea, would love to see this go a bit further. Needs a lot of polishing though, it feels very clunky at the moment, but it's still a great game!
I feel the way the game throws you into full load instantly should be scaled back slightly to get the player used to the mechanics. It took me a minute or two to realize how to place each block and what I was/wasn't able to do. But at the same time, I always had a full load and trucks waiting. Maybe delay the opening trucks?
Great game though!
Nice game, really got me into it... Really liked it...
Thank you
Very nice! Catchy and fast. I was under great pressure and chaos stacking them up and figuring out how to not do it :D
Simple idea but for the most part well done. The persistent honking really made me want to speed things along which was good. One thing which I wish was more clear are the rules surrounding each kind of box, because I kept thinking I found a rule but then I could break it and other spots where I though I should be able to place I couldn't, though maybe im just not thinking about it the right way.
