Solid game, had fun with it. Those text boxes right in the middle of the screen are really annoying tho. Simple and precise gameplay, good graphics. Well done!

Very polished, but like @guihermoni said, the popups got in the way.
Definitely thanks @guilhermoni and @gary-beebe if I could do it again, I'd probably move all the pop-ups over to more of a toast notification in the corner. And maybe get the user something useful to do when > 1,000$
Looks so cool and the gameplay is sweet, sometimes the popups wee little annoying but otherwise good job!
This was a rather fun game. It took me a while to figure out that some trucks only took certain colors of box, but once I did it was a lot of fun. I really liked the sound design, both the background audio track and the sound effects were great and fit the theme well. I enjoyed the progression of trucks and docks. I did find some of the smaller boxes to be rather difficult to click on and towards the end was just letting them fall into the sun. I really appreciated the tutorial/story introduction at the beginning, this was one of the only games I have seen this Ludum Dare that has introduced the game so well. fantastic entry, great job!
Really enjoyed having a little tutorial in the beginning. It was fun and easy to get into. I do agree that the small boxes were hard to click on, and at some point a crate (box) was stuck out in space. Overall great job!
Good job L. My only complaint is the popup boxes tended to result in me dropping the boxes into the sun. If they were replaced by a non-intrustive notification, that would have been better.
Hi guys. I had a lot of fun! Similarly to the others the pop ups drove me nutz especially once you get up to 4 docs and 4 trucks! A tutorial explaining how it works including colours may be useful so you dont have to sit through the initial popups every time you get fired... I got to $20k so can I buy a nice car now :-)
Good game, probably sick of hearing it... but the popup boxes :p
Nice job! I might speed up the pace of play after the first couple of purchases, but dang, you got a lot done in 2 days !
I have nothing to add I just wanted to congrats you, the game is fun despite what says before.
A very nicely done game! It's a bit of a shame there isn't any kind of goal to reach, since after playing a bit one gets so accustomed and the money flows in so fast losing stops being a concern. Still, the audio and visuals are really impressive for a jam game!
This is not my type of game but I had some fun to play it.
The only thing that bugged me somewhat was the popup dialogs. I think the animation and wait time between them could be tweaked to make them feel better. I enjoyed watching the little robots throw the cargo out. Watching the cargo get destroyed by the sun was also oddly satisfying. This was nice because even if there were no trucks to come and buy my stuff, I still felt rewarded. Enjoyed it
The pop-ups are quite annoying once the game gets more hectic and I also had problems with actually getting the crates with my mouse because of the precision required.
But aside from that this is a beautiful little game, I enjoyed the soundtrack, design and challenge of the game. It wasn't immediately obvious to me what I was supposed to do but I catched on pretty quickly. I also enjoyed the space atmosphere! Very well done!
Great job including a tutorial in your game, very graphically pleasing too
Awesome space! Pop-up messages are the main enemy in this game. Hate them.
