Pretty cool. Dropping the crates is a little frustrating, sometimes inaccurate (it go into the square further away than expected). The conversion mechanic Red->Green->Yellow is a great idea, nice and simple but increases the complexity.

thanks for the feedback @wavertron

Fun concept! I found it very difficult to control the forklift as I couldn't tell which way was up, but I like mechanics. Nice job.

thechubbypanda 2018-08-13 10:50

Pretty good, very frustrating though...

dark-roast-studios 2018-08-13 10:56

thanks for the feedback @asleepforthree

@thechubbypanda yeah your not the first to note it can get frustraiting, thanks for the feedback

It's fast and fun and just the right amount of difficult!

lastleaf 2018-08-13 11:06

Nice game with a nice idea. I also found it difficult to control, but overall, it is nice!

rob-white 2018-08-13 12:52

I like the idea of having to put the different coloured bombs through different checks and it definitely makes the game hectic as time goes on (which is good for the theme). I didn't like that the truck automatically picked up a bomb I went next to - I would much prefer to press a button to pick up because it is a button press to drop as well (when really it could auto drop the bomb into shoot if it's the correct one). Good job overall!

dark-roast-studios 2018-08-13 12:59

thanks for the feedback @lastleaf @rillep

@rob-white yeah I nearly changed to a button for picking stuff up, but by that point I didnt really have time to make the changes. Thanks for the feedback!

Pretty cool!!

dark-roast-studios 2018-08-13 13:17

thanks for playing @danielefisher

danielefisher 2018-08-13 13:23

No problem bud

danielefisher 2018-08-13 13:26

Really liked the whole color code and block off of the disposal areas........good job!

htmichael 2018-08-13 14:13

I really liked it! Could use with a backing track though. Over all well done!

sixbeeps 2018-08-13 14:20

Well done. Gets hard very quickly :). Game was explained well, and I had no trouble playing the game. I do wish there were some soft ambient music in the background, though.

dark-roast-studios 2018-08-13 14:24

thanks @htmichael yeah backing tracks/music are skills I have yet to master. Would have been better with one for sure, maybe next time :)

dark-roast-studios 2018-08-13 14:27

@sixbeeps you and me both :P Thanks for the feedback!

esmouc 2018-08-13 16:34

I really enjoyed the game. At first it was a bit confusing the way you had to dispose the bombs, though. Maybe movement could be made faster and a game controller would be a nice addition too. Sometimes it was hard for me to control the machine.

dark-roast-studios 2018-08-13 20:57

thanks for playing the game and leaving feedback @esmouc :)

caeonosphere 2018-08-14 08:28

While simple, the controls were surprisingly fun! I'd tool around in a more complete version of this.

dark-roast-studios 2018-08-14 12:51

thanks for the feedback @caeonosphere :)

bill-wheatley 2018-08-15 08:20

That was pretty hard, but that was enjoyable, thanks for creating it!

draperdanman 2018-08-15 08:23

Excellent Compo submission! The difficulty gets very intense after a while! You did really well!

randdir 2018-08-15 08:44

Really nice lil game. I appreciate the theme used in it, i just suggest improove sound/music could be more attractive. Keep it up pal !

dark-roast-studios 2018-08-15 08:48

@bill-wheatley @draperdanman thanks for playing and leaving feedback :)

@randdir yeah sound is always a weakness for me, need to work on that! Thanks for the feedback

maartene 2018-08-15 11:37

Cool time management game with very good graphics (especially for a combo game). Music and more sfx would have been nice. If I'd have to name one thing I miss, it would be the big explosion when I eventually mess up! :boom:

nathanhoad 2018-08-15 11:42

That was really challenging but really fun. I would have liked the snapping to be a little more forgiving but it was pretty great anyhow :)

trocentraisin 2018-08-15 13:56

This game is hard, but it's cool. By the way, there is a typo in the game page, "them*e Running out of space" below the game window

dark-roast-studios 2018-08-15 14:25

@maartene thanks for the feedback, I'll be focusing on better sound next timme, and yeah big explosions can go on the post-compo update list :)

@nathanhoad thanks for playing and leaving feedback :)

@trocentraisin d'oh your right, thanks for pointing that out!

cristihkj 2018-08-22 09:54

Great game! Very cool and interesting! :D

occultone 2018-08-22 17:04

Very difficult, I thought the core premise was pretty good, the forklift (?) moved a bit slow for my taste, too much time spent in transit, and I gladly would have traded control fidelity for speed. I think there's some legs for expanding gameplay, or conversion to a mobile game. Great job!

candlesan 2018-08-25 01:23

Very challenging to get all the boxes placed in. I'm glad you have a white square letting me know where I'm going to drop - I think I would have been very lost without that!

The difficulty of the game feels very high.

dark-roast-studios 2018-08-25 17:31

@cristihkj thanks for playing :) @occultone @candlesan Yeah I think I may knock the difficulty down a bit if I do an update, thanks for playing and for the feedback!

anna-petrova 2018-08-29 18:21

Nice game
