(Windows) I really enjoyed this game, it was chaotic and fun, the boxes kept getting stuck when I tried putting them in the shoots though, I liked it Good job!

I can't stop playing this game.

Really fun and good use of the theme. Reminds me of scenes from old sitcoms where the main character is working on a conveyor belt and it gets to fast for them to keep up.

Great game! I had a lot of fun playing it, its fitting the theme and looks nice. Music got crazy fast towards the end XD.

Good entry, I like that the parcels gets damaged when there are to many of them and the music. Its sometimes a bit tricky to tell if a packet falls into the shelf because of the perspective.

This is a very solid game. It's well balanced to be fun and challenging, and keeping the rules straight is a fun mental balancing act.

Great game, like the theme use. The music is a bit grating but ramps up the tension. A little annoying thing was that packages that weight exacly 5kg are still overweight? Also agree with the schute thing, it gets more importand when the speed ramps up.

Had a real panic going by the end. Other than some odd collisions this is a great game.

It was a realistic experience. Nice game :smile:

Finally played it and had some fun sorting parcels while shouting at the physics ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLytdAQ0Ig4

Your game is very nice to play. The general impact is positive. As a professional game dev I would suggest... just kidding haha Nonetheless, if you want to work on this project more I suggest making a difficulty incresing algorithm. Graphics - very nice. Controls are also working very well. Maybe you could also take a glimpse at my game? I already enlarged it into a wholesome Android game :)

Nice submission. Difficulty progress very fast, or my hands is just slow for it. Anyway enjoyed playing it

That was awesome! The gameplay was fun, I loved the progressive music, and adding the little camera turn animation between scenes was a very nice touch. It was very creative and it had a great amount of gameplay and difficulty. The only thing I didn't like was that it was kind of annoying to me to have boxes get stuck in between the different chutes. I would have liked them removed altogether or have the boxes have physics to fall to on side if it hits the middle. Overall, very well done!

Sticky chutes, but a really fun concept. Enjoyed it a lot. Hope you've had a great LD!

This is a fun and frantic sorting game, with a length that I think hits the sweet spot of being just long enough to be satisfying while short enough for you to say "just one more go". I like the way the music accelerates as the game speeds up, at first suggesting that you should pick up the pace, then eventually just saying that it's time to panic. And the sound of things breaking lets you know that you're in the danger zone and need to pay attention to what's piling up.

Others have mentioned the way a parcel sometimes catches on the edge of a chute, forcing you to have precise aim. Unless you're going for the leftmost or rightmost one, in which case you can mostly just slam the parcel against the wall and let gravity do the rest. In combination to that, I found a way you can mostly cheese the later stages of the game by intentionally letting packages break, and only sorting ones that have already broken so you can focus on just the leftmost chute. I think there should be some penalty for parcels that get broken due to player negligence, like not getting points awarded for sorting them.

Overall, I consider this to be a great entry. Well done!
