Game is alright. The vehicle's movement is really smooth, but there are a lot of bugs involving collisions. I found the nitro button pointless to use as it would send you up in the air! Not great for stacking boxes. The vehicles do look really nice though, and I love the game's name.
Cool game! Some game feel improvements and better collision would make it even better! Sound could also help. Good job!
Once I got tilted off balance, I couldn't re-center. I wish the collision was a little better. Camera control would have been nice. However I had a lot of fun jumping with my forklift. And the idea and models for the forklifts were great
Interesting idea, but the forklift just goes through walls like butter. Amusing but annoying :)
The space level was genius. I think it would be better if there was a sound/visual effect when you successfully place a box on the shelf, I placed a few and there was no feedback and the score didn't go up.
Pretty fun and humorous game, but the collision is a bit buggy. Great models on the forklifts though!
@hegemege that is actually a good idea. Should have thought of that myself.
Good graphics !! everything goes well as a theme together. Sound will definitely help.
Nice graphics!,i think what really would help would be camera controls
Welcome to Ludum Dare! Congrats on your entry!
Pros: - Forklifting in all it's glory! - Nice graphics - Spaaaace
Cons: - Kinda weird to control - Could have more challenges I guess? Other than the time limit - Music only in the main scree =/ Obs: I think the control felt weird because of some bugs (or I think they are bugs, they might be features :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: ) like, specially in the Death Star level, the speed of the car varied and the jet pack didn't work reliably, at first I couldn't even go up because I didn't I though the jet pack wasn't working.... Wait a moment, if there is no gravity in space, how come the forklift falls to the ground...? I have so many questions...
Cheers!
The concept is quite cool! Forklifting experience is great, although a bit buggy! The graphics are nice too, same for the music :D.
Had some problems with collision, at one point I started driving on a wall. Pretty funny though. Nice job!
Lots of options! You tried to put a quite large feature set into such a small ammount of time. Particle effects, options to pick a different vehicle, a space level, physics, et.c etc. Always nice to see, but...
Ooof, it's buggy... I've seen all kinds of physics mess-ups, forklifts floating in the air, forklifts capsizing and pusing boxes sideways. One time I even multiplied my forklift every time I started a game, which was hilarious, but probably not intended. All sorts of other small issues as well, like my current score at the beginning of a new run is my old highscore. Not to mention going right through not only the walls, but nearly everything else as well... The 'drop box' command occasionally not working (or it feels like it anyway...) Maybe a good idea next time to focus on making sure that what _is_ there _works_, instead of cramming in lots of features. You just don't have that time during a 2 or 3 day jam! Even if you do, you probably don't want to take that risk, and just add new stuff later.
The menu music and diegetic sounds-effects work well for me :-)
The bugs somehow make it _more_ fun, not less? Despite all the problems (and perhaps because of them), this somehow manages to _work_ quite decently as a game, which means there must have been something there to begin with :-)
Sorry to sound so negative (sort of?)... it's not quite as bad as it sounds how I describe it here, but I can't think of a better what right now to get my point across?
Some fiddly little unimportant points:
- You try to offer both `.rar` and `.zip`, but the latter one is actually `.7z`, which not everyone may have either... - Something I noticed with a few games here but've yet to comment on: The menu's are mouse only, but in-game it's keyboard only. - 'Unlock tank' hi-score in the select screen is not the same as the 'Creator hi-score' in the main menu?
