Really enjoyed this once I fully understood the color mechanic

ah yes the overworked retail/receiving employee simulator. excellent. fr though I enjoyed it, I laughed when the boxes just kept coming.

Amazing graphics and music. I like the posters and the funny writing and story going on here. I did get buried in packages though they might need to slow down the rate they dump them on you or hire more staff, but that won't happen.

Really well done. A very complete experience for a game jam game! The poster designs were fun.

Have not expected "doom music" in a game about sorting packages :smile:

Really fun game! The gameplay was fun, the graphics are cute, and the music on the radio is just great! And I loved all the posters, plastered all over the warehouse walls :smile:

I only wish you could break boxes with the crowbar (or maybe you can and I just can't figure out how to do it)

I had a really good time playing this game. I would have looooved this game as a kid too. I also loved all the time and attention put into the details! A forced stop or score would've been great for the end of each round. I stayed on my first shift waaaay too long because I didn't realize I had to stop it by putting boxes on the shelves (and I wasn't punished for not doing it). The mechanics felt really smooth and wonderful! Very easy to pick things up and interact with the environment. Great job!

So good! The slapstick comedy of the boxes piling up is hilarious, and I love the design of the space and attention to detail. Really impressive entry!

Guys seriously, the most fun game I've played so far! Straight up 5 stars! It was so well done, so simple yet so challenging and entertainning. The graphics are really amazing for a LD entry.

Pros: Excellent graphics, awesome and super fun gameplay Cons: Low FPS (but that could be cause by my mediocre computer)

Extra con: I COULD NOT SCORE A BASKET BALL POINT! Haha!

Note: I also experienced this error, when I clicked on NEW GAME, the screen just froze in this blurred image.

**Add a spawn limit, please I beg you!** I actually had to restart because it was that *bad*.

Otherwise it's a really fun yet stressful game. I would give it a straight 5 stars but definitely you guys didn't know how powerful other's PC's could get. You only need to remind me so much how I need to upgrade anyways. (but chip shortage is a thing right now...)

I think I was even dealt a bad hand. Yellow and green then purple and pink are such bad color combinations it's hard to even sort them on the shelf.

Another bug, the clipboard did not update.

Would love to play this more! ..if only I was not forced to restart my computer in the process. Digging through the packages was great for the theme, definitely!

This was pretty fun! I think the integration of the theme is a little weak, but that's really the only negative thing I can think of – and even then I'm just nitpicking. The physics were fun, the graphics were good, and the gameplay loop was interesting and unique! This has a lot of potential! Great work :)

I like the principle of the game bu I couldn't play a lot because of the camera shake that give some motion sickness i'm sorry. You can easily the observe the shake while holding an objet, or looking at a poster (like the punctuality needs no excuse while moving on the side between the table and the door). It may be due to the walking movement ? I would have love to play more to the but couldn't finish the tutorial. But congrats for the graphism, gameplay and audio (but never understimate a none smooth enough camera that's one of the most important thing in a game - from someone working a lot on the camera in video games)

It was really fun. Spend a lot more time then I should =) Nice graphics, and good physics, but when I take something and move myself around, that object is shaking somehow

jamesboink 2021-05-01 21:09

Game was.... amazing. I loved how you guys approached the theme, graphcis were nice, gameplay was simple yet entertaining and challenging! 5/5 gj!

I think I played this game much longer than others, very addictive and interesting gameplay. Very cool idea and implementation, amazing music. A really very well done game. Very good work.

hacktier 2021-05-14 01:11

nice Game, good job!

I wasn't too sure how this fit into the theme, I mean I can see it, but it wasn't very clear. Physics are always fun, a lot of music, which is impressive. Some small variations in the sound of the boxes bumping around would be sweet. Interesting and fun idea, can get a bit repetetive, but enjoyed my stay for 6 game days! Solid entry though, it stuck out.
