Looks good, sounds good, but couldn't figure out what to do and as a result I couldn't get past wave 1.

I initially had the same confusion as @sarrixx when trying to play, in that initially I wasnt't sure how to even play.

I know you could push these buttons to your left and right to spawn these balls and pick them up&drop them in the boxes after some trial and error, but there was some incredible frustration mixed in by the fact that there were balls with very very slight colour differences which definitely wasn't any fun when you thought you'd nailed a crate and in the end actually you dropped the slightly darker shade of green in when it should have been the slightly lighter shade of green.

I would also be careful with those colour choices, red/green colour blindness is really common (so red and green as primary colours players have to distinguish between is one of the worst), but even for people who were not colour-blind (like.. me), it was very difficult.

The music was quite nice though, the repetitiveness nicely fit the mood of working on assembly-line operating at breakneck pace :)

It would have been very nice to initialy get a view of the "whole" room, before you're placed into the assembly line, because it took a while initially to even realise there was also a panel with buttons to your right side.

(also don't forget to go out and play and rate others games if you want others to see yours and play yours, right now you're at 0 so nobody is coming into rate yours except from the "danger" category where those with very few ratings are!)

Good work nonetheless, definitely an interesting idea :)
