Nice and original game. The boxes came quite fast, quickly making it impossible to reach the blue bin. The game took some time before it started.

The GUI didn't appear on my screen for some reason. Other than that, the game seemed pretty good. Especially good job on the music :)

sharks 2018-08-13 15:26

@thomas-den-hollander Thanks for the feedback sorry that the beginning took too long! I was'nt sure how long to make it,

sharks 2018-08-13 15:27

@adonisdevs Classic unity's classic Canvas scaling bug. It has plagued me for EVERY ludum dare. I've learned a few workarounds but did'nt have time to apply them!

bronydell 2018-08-13 15:29

I like the idea. Graphics are doing their job. I like the difficulty escalation, but I wish that played had better purpose in this game

Anyway, great job!

A very fun game, I had some stressful fun time with this, I found the audio weird, not bad but weird. Simple graphics but got what it needed to across. My only issue is that the box recycler should be further away from the conveyor!

thomas-den-hollander 2018-08-13 15:31

@sharks Not a problem! A game really can't be perfect within this time frame, but there really were no major problems here.

sharks 2018-08-13 15:32

@bronydell Thank you!

sharks 2018-08-13 15:32

@devio Thanks for playing, and thanks for your feedback! Will definitely look into that!

Good job on completing the game. The web version is also working well. I like the audio and that you actually gave 3d a different art look rather than just adding diffuse shader on them. I dunno if its just me but the gameplay is a bit difficult and game starts very slow, nothing was happening in first 5 seconds. Keep it up !!

I got pushed to the ceiling while trying to pick up a pink box then I ran out of space :) 10/10 would play again!

draperdanman 2018-08-13 18:32

Slow to start for me! I was searching for a button in the room :joy: The music was pretty good, though started to feel quite repetitive on top of the organizing boxes. However, perhaps that was the point. Nice work completing another LDJam! You're kicking goals!

sharks 2018-08-14 14:09

@draperdanman Thank you so much! Yeah, I wasn't sure how much time to give in the beginning for the 'tutorial' I added a few birds chirping that I recorded to try and break things up and add a little atmosphere but things were definitely repetitive. I wanted to add some powerups but ran out of time. I also stop enjoying making the game halfway through. The end result wasn't as 'fun' as I had planned, and I really wanted. It became a chore for me and I had to force myself to finish the game. It was a different experience for me with that and all. I think I may have made the scope too small. Last time I finished the game just barely and thought the scope was too big, but I guess it was perfect, if you make it too small you don't enjoy it, (And I was like done on the 2nd day.) but if you make it too big you can't finish and are disappointed. So it's all about getting the right scope! So that it's a challenge but not too much.

sharks 2018-08-14 14:10

@lost-dutchman-software Thanks! LOL that's my favorite bug. If you get a box close to you, look down at it, and then pick it up and started walking you'll fly!

sharks 2018-08-14 14:12

@vivek-sharma20 The beginning was supposed to be a tutorial on the computer, the game is a little difficult. I didn't have much time to tweak the difficulty!

saering 2018-08-14 14:31

It doesn't seem so but it's pretty hard haha ! But it felt cool to play. I didn't really like the way the boxes were coming and how they were supposed to be sorted, maybe I would have find this more funny if the bins were placed in the corners and the boxes were randomly falling from the sky or something like that. But that's only my personal opinion !

Great job dude :)

kubenexion 2018-08-14 14:57

Nice game with simple mechanics. Fun to play.

Counter with number of box in the room don't show up for me.

sharks 2018-08-14 16:55

@kubenexion Thank you! The counter not showing up is a known bug :(

sharks 2018-08-14 16:58

@saering Thanks! Boxes randomly falling from the sky would be quite humorous, Haha! The bins in the corner has been suggested as their current position is not the greatest! Thanks again, have a wonderful day!

megalink 2018-08-14 22:57

This is a really cool game! Gets very intense as time goes on. I loved the art style and especially the music, promoted the industrial vibe of the game quite well. Sound effects are well done too. Great work! :)

sharks 2018-08-15 16:37

@megalink Thanks! I'll be sure to check your game out!

bloc97 2018-08-15 16:59

I love the type of games that puts you in a room where you have to complete tasks. This game was very challenging, and all the cubes that piled in front of the blue slot entered it by themselves. :rofl: I can see this game being expanded by adding different tasks. And maybe have something like papers please where you have a story and each day becomes more and more difficult.

ozerion2103 2018-08-15 17:10

Cool little game and challenging! The Audio is weird but it fits the mood of the environment :) Nicely done !

sharks 2018-08-16 14:06

@bloc97 LOL thanks, I planned on adding powerups that would come out of the conveyor belt sometimes but ultimately ran out of time to implement it. I have heard suggestions about moving the 'bins' because it's current position isn't great. Like you said sometimes boxes get shoved in there. The whit box was supposed to be a powerup, I did'nt realize I forgot to remove it!

sharks 2018-08-16 14:07

@ozerion2103 Thanks, did you know that the sound the boxes make when falling/colliding is me slapping my mouse on the table? Fun fact LOL

hdmmy 2018-08-16 14:08

Graphic is good!

benjamin-armour 2018-08-16 18:06

Neat idea, couldnt play too long though, controls were kinda annoying.

sharks 2018-08-16 20:42

@benjamin-armour Sorry about that, I tried to tweak the controls as much as I possibly could. Thank you for playing!

sharks 2018-08-16 20:43

Thank you! @hdmmy

sharks 2018-08-16 20:54

@bloc97 Thank you for your review/comment I used it in an "Advertisement" I hope you don't mind. Just in case I included a screenshot of the post:Screen Shot 2018-08-16 at 4.54.04 PM.png

diego-manarim 2018-08-21 19:46

I felt like eating popcorn, it must be the little background sound. :) Sometimes I would put the box in the wrong place because it was floating too far away and I was trying to turn around. But I loved the idea of the game! Congratulations!

manimal 2018-08-22 10:30

Nice entry, when I m on box i m able to take that box? I have experienced some wierd behavior of the player with that case. For me was almost imposible to place blue box in "late-game".

sharks 2018-08-22 23:37

@diego-manarim Thank you!

sharks 2018-08-22 23:37

@manimal The box moving script needs a little more tweaking, so sorry it gave you problems! Thanks for playing!
