I got 19 points! :) GG
Simple, but challenging game. Liked the music and sound effect that at first made me think I got a message on steam. Maybe would be cool if you could somehow carry more packages at once and dropping them accurately on the ship would be challenging.
+1 on being able to pickup more at once, maybe at a certain score (or powerup) you could have a double grabber. Fun little game, great music!
Hi! I feel like not having to rise/lower the hook in order to play was both more efficient and less interesting...I guess I optimized the fun away. Overall it work well though and the art is nice, good job!
I love how you can fling the boxes if you time raising of the crane and release right. Fun game!
I like the feeling of a delivery person tossing around fragile boxes XD
@bartekde thanks for feedback! That's a great idea, I wish I would have thought of that earlier, cause that's really good powerup and not hard to implement :)
@thereddevil That's my favorite part too - simple but fun!
@daniil-vakhrushev Oh, it would be funny to add rare glass breaking sound upon impact of boxes. Thanks for an idea :D
@tom-oak Thanks for the honest feedback! That's a valid point, when playtesting noticed that too but shrugged it off. I uploaded a slightly updated version where lowering the hook makes it slower to control, maybe this will incentivize more ;)
Nice game lots of room for expansion good job !
Cool funny and silly game. I liked the mechanic felt pretty well. Not sure if that intended but throwing crates into water was more satisfying them landing them on the boats. Also liked it has different water plup sounds. Well done haha
I've spent too much time playing this! So cozy!
Great graphics and music, and really fun to use the physics to get boxes into the boat faster. I agree with the suggestion of being able to pick up multiple boxes--this game makes me just want to fling giant stacks of boxes around!
Throwing boxes is fun! Bonus boxes are good idea. Good job.
Awesome music for this game! Loved the sound when one goes into the water too. I almost cramped up in left hand after 26 points. Maybe the crane could have gotten a larger... Hooh? After a while. Because larger and larger ships as progression started to feel like work work :D I would suggest enabling FXAA for less jagged edges on everything. It really makes a ton of difference at not that much performance cost. I think I saw some screenshot of the boxes on discord, fun to see that it turned into a nice game! Well done!
@wighz Thanks for a great feedback! It's weird but I like this jagged look especially because of how low quality my art style is :P But also I completely forgot that it can be changed lol P.S. Thanks for remembering that, it's really sweet! Honestly I was half way expecting to quit, but decided to do at least anything and suprisingly it went well!
I enjoy the fun mechanic, the aesthetic is simple but effective. One problem is that at first I perceive that "box" like hook as boxes so I don't recognize that I should hook a box. Haha. Welcome to pay my game as well.
This is a fun game! I wish there was an upgrade to make the crane move faster, forgive me for always being so impatient. The art style of the game is also very nice! I especially like those simple yet exquisite and cute cargo boxes. Let's mourn for those boxes that were unfortunately thrown into the sea by me. Overall, this is a great game!
This was fun, I especially liked trying to lob the boxes from the middle of the screen. I found trying to get to the 'R' key to release was a bit cumbersome as I was holding down 'E' for movement. 'left shift' would probably work better
reminded me GTA SA mission from SF where you need to load vehicles <3
Neat game. I love the way you can yeet the boxes. Very relaxing, especially with this music. Good job! :D
Great game! The music is lovely, the physics are fun to master, overall really great execution. My only critiques are that I wish there was a victory condition instead of just filling barges forever, and that once I mastered the raise and throw it seemed pretty trivially easy. I got into the 40s and then just let it sit while writing this out just so I could see the end state of losing. Aaaaand it's still got 1/3rd to go. Waiting....waiting.....almost there....still going.......aaand lost. Cool. Overall really fantastic work.
Flinging the packages is really fun! I got around 200 points before quitting. It feels like the difficulty doesn't ramp up quickly enough, but overall fun game!
