Really fun and addictive game, the trucks with horizontal bars were the most annoying (in a good way) to me

I ended up loosing at 965kg because not enough parcel were falling after a while

pauvictor 2023-05-01 12:03

Nice game. I felt overwhelmed by the number of packages falling and ended up overloading a truck :smile:

matthewdrake 2023-05-01 15:58

Really fun game, the separations in the trucks makes each feel different rather than just throwing items in and trying to get the number right. Great humour too with the smashing sounds as parcels collided and the memos.

axelle-desquilbet 2023-05-01 16:00

Nice game, it's really cool you embeded it on your itch page ! Even if you do the same thing over and over, you're not bored because the truck configuration changes, nice work !

paul-sinnett 2023-05-01 16:01

This is brilliant. I found it a bit difficult to control will the mouse, but I think as a touchscreen game this would work really well. Well done!

krynxx 2023-05-01 16:02

Great game. Really like the Sounds/Music and the overall look of the game!

clemall 2023-05-01 16:41

@xwilarg Haha pretty good score! There is a bit of randomness with the parcels falling, sorry that you got unlucky :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

@pauvictor FPS will not hire you then :laughing:

@matthewdrake @axelle-desquilbet @krynxx I'm happy that you enjoyed it :thumbsup:

@paul-sinnett True! I did not try to play the game on a touchscreen, it would be even better. Thanks for the input :smiley:

nanixdev 2023-05-01 17:00

Nice game, I was a little confused about the objective. I just kept throwing objects in the trucks haha! Art looks great though!

clemall 2023-05-01 17:20

@nanixdev Having fun throwing stuff is the most important goal :laughing:. But yes, I should have added a bit more instructions about what to do.

tumblingpuffin 2023-05-01 17:48

Fun game. The visuals and music are nice. I like the variety of trucks cargo space. I got bit overwhelmed with parcels, but I was playing it with a trackpad, it's probably easier with a mouse. Overall, it feels nice and polished, Well done.

zhiteng-chen 2023-05-01 18:03

It is fun.

kiguel182 2023-05-01 18:08

Really fun and great idea. I like the chaotic aspect to it while there still being some thinking regarding how to put the parcels inside the truck.

The weight aspect was fun as well but I admit I just threw things until the trucker told me their weight.

Great job!

EDIT: I see that the interface was cut off on my computer and there's actually a real time weight counter at the top. My bad!

kazatan 2023-05-01 18:24

I enjoyed playing your game. I thought that the physics based gameplay was a neat idea. Thanks 👏🏻

My best was 867kg.

nox282 2023-05-01 18:41

Bahahaha, what a fun concept! Any game that make me smile and laugh out loud is a win! Awesome game!

torte478 2023-05-01 18:44

Cool idea and implementation! I like how physics is solid. Sound effects are also good. Great job!

candlesan 2023-05-01 19:05

This was awesome!!!! I loved the simple creativity of all the different sized objects and the different interiors to the trucks. The franticness of the timer really made it stressful and not having a lot of space to manage all my the junk added to the stress in a good way. LOTS of fun!

kesha11s 2023-05-01 19:13

cool game 680kg was my best record

defrag 2023-05-01 19:18

This was a really nice submission. I feel like this is what an airplane luggage loader must do on a daily basis. The challenge was easily understandable, but that doesn't make it easier. I felt like a chump trying to hold a breadloaf (?) against a mountain of basketballs waiting for the truck to leave. The endless onslaught of more lamps, vases, and tvs was a good, funny kind of "oh well" moment for me. This would have done really well on LD50's "Delay the inevitable" theme too!

That moment when I first hurled the priceless Ming vase into the van and then heard the smash was too good.

soloadventurergames 2023-05-01 19:23

nice little game reminded me of wasting time in computer class in highschool.

nathan-franck 2023-05-01 21:48

Super game, love the concept and execution. Music was good, sounds were cringe in a /good/ way 😀. Objective was very clear. Controls were really responsive and reasonable. Challange ramp was also really nice and satisfying. Probably did 8 loads before failing from a stair-step internal that confused me before I saw the 50lbs weights. Nice.

bit-flipz 2023-05-01 23:28

Highlight: Parcel chaos

Lowlight: Bugged objects ended run

Wow! This is a really great game. It is so simple, yet so addicting. I loved struggling with the chaos of a never-ending stream of objects piling up as you struggle to throw them into the back of the truck. The music was subtle but nice and the sfx were quite funny. Only complaint is my first game, the objects got stuck onto eachother on the ramp and I couldn't get them down which caused me to lose.

rustywolf 2023-05-01 23:41

Loved the audio feedback when I slammed anything I could find in the back as fast as possible, real nice

clemall 2023-05-02 20:39

@tumblingpuffin Thanks for your nice comment. It is definitely easier with a mouse than a trackpad :thumbsup:

@zhiteng-chen Happy that you had fun.

@kiguel182 Oh sorry that the interface was cut off. I had some issues making it work for a variety of screen sizes. I will know better for the next LD :laughing:

@kazatan Thanks ! You did a pretty good score :thumbsup:

@nox282 I'm happy that you enjoyed the game so much. Thank you.

@torte478 Thanks for the nice comment. I'm surprised that people like the music, I think it sounds quite bad :laughing:

@candlesan Haha you explained exactly how i wanted people to feel the game, slightly stressful but with having fun playing with physics objects. Thanks for the lovely comment.

@kesha11s Pretty good score! Thanks for the comment.

@defrag hahaha what a better idea you got there, I should have thought about airplane luggage loader! Thanks you for the lovely comment.

@soloadventurergames Glad that you liked it.

@nathan-franck Sorry to read that you got some bugged objects. I had from time to time this issue but I couldn't fixed it properly. Anyway, I'm happy that you enjoyed the game. Thanks for the lovely comment.

@rustywolf haha same, happy that you enjoyed the game

neakiir 2023-05-02 21:42

Nice simple fun game! would have like to see more irregular shapes and conditions

cinterre 2023-05-02 22:57

Cool idea! Feels like a flash I would have played a ton back in the day. Well done on the music too!

clemall 2023-05-03 09:41

@neakiir I completely agree with you, I tried some stuff in aseprite but I couldn't make stuff look good enough. I need to learn to be more efficient on Aseprite. happy that you enjoyed the game though :smile:

@cinterre Thanks for the compliment on the music, I'm still not happy with it though ^^

pdotjpg 2023-05-03 17:33

Haha, brilliant idea. Fun gameplay loop, really well executed. Trucks having different interiors is a great detail. The sound effects are hilarious.

Once you get rid of the initial pile of cargo, the game gets too easy, though. I stopped playing at like 1.4k. Spawn times could be quicker.

But super fun overall!

nazorus 2023-05-03 18:58

That was fun, and the music is a nice touch! Sound effects were a bit loud compared to the music (at least with headphones). It's the kind of game that makes you wanna play again and again to try and get a better score, the core concept is strong. Good job.

geck0 2023-05-04 10:32

Hey, fun game! I could only stop playing because the packages were blocked at the top of the screen and none of them were falling, then I lost xD

olddog 2023-05-04 15:02

quite funny game,I like the game idea and it suit game jam theme so well,,I spent a lot time on this one,,, while some time the stuff just touch the van and still count in,may be there can be some space in midle

clemall 2023-05-04 21:11

@pdotjpg I'm happy that you enjoyed the game. Good point about the spawning, when you are doing good i should have increased the spawn rate a bit. Also 1.4k is an amazing score, well played !

@nazorus Thanks for the music, I'm still surprised that people like it :laughing: I'm happy that you had fun.

@geck0 I'm sorry that you encountered this bug, it happens from time to time that multiple objects spawn inside each other and get stuck... i hope you still enjoyed the game.

@olddog you are completely right, the hitbox to count a package as in is of the size of the truck, so just touching it is enough. Instead, I should check if the collider attached to the package is inside the collider of the truck.

mar-zockmeister 2023-05-04 23:54

Fun game, I would not have expected to play so long. Unfortunately, a lamp blocked all incoming packages and I could fill up the truck anymore :smile:

clemall 2023-05-05 17:25

@mar-zockmeister Thanks for your comment and sorry about the bug.

kirbloid 2023-05-06 17:49

One of my favorite games this jam and probably going to be one of my highest rated. Immediately accessible, fun, funny, and easy to play, while nailing the theme and being unique with your take on it for the jam. Great job! The sound effects especially cracked me up.

slickclyde 2023-05-07 00:13

The sound of each package's contents breaking as I threw into the back of the van gave me a good chuckle. Fun concept!

salyon 2023-05-07 00:19

Very fun game! The sounds of things breaking as we try to play fast is the best. I can see this working really well as a hyper-casual on mobile.

grid96 2023-05-07 16:59

Stressful but nice game! Happened quite often though that the first two tracks basically filled themselves. Maybe a little less of the package spawning would make it more controllable. I really liked the variety in products though :)

douwe-ravers 2023-05-09 19:13

This was fun to play! Sometimes a little frustrating how the boxes wouldn't budge when i needed them fast but that is part of the experience.

roka-josh 2023-05-17 14:42

Really fun game, would love to see this be expanded further with more parcel and van shapes and further challenges or objectives. Great job!
