hi, Just played the game. Congrats on a successful submission. Good - Graphics, Audio . Improvement Areas - Controls are very flimsy , you can't pick up the box you want, it falls down , too much physics. You can definitely take it further.
* would be nice if you could stack boxes * wasn't clear what you were to do with the boxes. * physics worked ok most of the time
the music! the backing up sound! i forgot how to drive a forklift, but after i remembered that i need to actually get the lift allll the way under the boxes, things were easier. honestly would probably be a bit easier to follow with nothing but pulling the camera back a bit :)
also, you know, good job on making it a family effort :)
Hahahahaha, not bad, love the fact that I can win easily by putting all the boxes by the exit and just push them on. They even float through each other! Was a little confused by the interface and the camera angle was challenging, but all in all I'd give it a 8/10.
I didn't quite get what I had to do other than waiting for the "Y" box to appear then putting it down by the exit. Oh and the wait time is a bit too much for me.
Hahahaha that was fun. :smiley: I was once a lift truck driver myself and in your game is such a cute instance which I could play for hours. 5 stars in Fun category from me! The music quite fits the cute mood. Especially true is that your vision really is narrowed in a real lift truck. That feeling is quite well transmitted to the player. If I had to name one thing to improve then the slightly dark colours.
@vekstr I wonder if you played the WebGL version without it being fullscreen? For some reason (I am not sure why as I have never had the issue with Unity before), the non fullscreen version is darker, but the fullscreen looks as intended.
nice game and controls are good
The Game looks really interessting, but I didn't quite understand what i am supposed to do. If you where to put up a tutorial Text somewhere, i would happily give it another try. :)
I liked the visuals and the general controls and such, but as everyone else is saying, I wasn't quite sure what to do.
Good work! Controls are really nice. I loved the game concept and sound effects. UI was a bit confusing, but makes sense after a while. Nice job! :)

Sorry that we didn't have time to provide an in-game tutorial. We tried to scale the difficulty of the levels to learn as you go, but maybe not well enough. The levels are divided into rounds. During each round, some boxes may need to be delivered to one of two "out" stations that are marked as "Y" and "Z". Boxes that are due to go out in a given round are marked with a "Y" or "Z" above them to indicate which out conveyor they need to be delivered to. If a box is not scheduled for delivery, it instead has a number above it indicating how many rounds it has before delivery. Some boxes are kept secret with a "?" but these are not due for delivery during the current round.
There is also an "in" conveyor where boxes are brought in. You must remove the box before the next one arrives or you get a marked box (indicated on the left side of the forklift). On the fourth missed box, you lose. (Failure to deliver a box to an out before the end of the round will move the box to the next round and add a marked box but only one per round.)
To pass each level, you must successfully deliver the number of boxes indicated on the left. The top number on the right is how much until the next delivery. The bottom number is the time left in the current round.
The challenge is to organize the boxes in a way that helps quick delivery while not running out of space.
Hope that helps.
Great work! loved the feeling of controlling the forklift and operating it. I think that you should not block that much of the players vision even if it isn't realistic.
Interesting game! I really liked the quirky physics and the way to forklift moved - even though it was a little difficult to control at time, along with the audio. The idea of obscuring the labels with other labels was great. As others have said the instructions were a bit unclear and the wait time was really long especially for the second level - spent a lot of time just waiting for boxes.
