Darn it James leave me alone I'm trying to buy boxes

Hahaha, really nice entry and reflexion about computer life. Thank you for the experience

The game's postal service is crazy fast. 10/10 will order again

This game hit me on a very deep level. After all if thou gaze long into a box, the box will also gaze into thee.

I'm not sure this qualifies as a game... One technical suggestion, avoid moving the character using the Transform. Move the character by applying velocity to the Rigidbody instead. This will allow you fto avoid all of the clipping and flickering.

I was amused by the box delivery.

I wanted to buy more boxes after 100% progress.

This was a neat little experience! I had a blast mashing my keyboard to make money for more boxes!

I liked the message at the end when you fill your house up with boxes too, and the emails you get from your friends are a humorous touch! Thanks for submitting this to the stream! The VOD is published if you want to watch me playing through your game :smiley:

Finally, someone made a game about Amazon Prime.

Lol well that was super fun! I actually felt like I was reliving my real life inside this game (you're welcome amazon stocks!!) Loved the simple atmosphere, ordering a bunch of boxes of every size, and using my real-life technical hacking skills to perform the most challenging technical tasks :)

Great job!

I love it when I hear the sound of birds singing near the window. The forest outside my room is so fascinating, but instead of the trees, I am only wandering through the useless boxes in my room, and not replying my friends' emails. And then I realize the best way to get a 'You win' in this game is to throw it away as well as my computer along :smile_cat: Thank you for the great experience.

data_entry(enter * 99999999) = rich

This is one of those games that's so badly made it's funny.

Either that or check for colliders on the new position before you actually change it.

Huh, its so simple, yet so fun.

The music was nice and soothing, and overall, well, its simple ill give it that.

Maybe give it an end goal or something and maybe add more features.

Its just so simple, idk what to say.

I ordered a lot of boxes and soon there was no space.

A few suggestions:

-- Hide the cursor -- The data entry job was quite interesting. The hacking was basic. Maybe add more of the data entry type of jobs.

This really cracked me up! I turned around and BOXES EVERYWHERE Here is a link to the stream: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/298451826?t=02h26m02s
