Such an original concept, it's pretty challenging :D

Great effort in such a short amount of time. I was a bit confused at first, but it was fine once I got used to how the game plays out. At times challenging too. Great job!

Easy to learn but hard to master! I feel like the skill ceiling is quite high. this is really well done, very fun to play - great job!

I went into this completely blind and couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do. Once I stepped back and read the controls, the game is actually pretty fun and addictive! But I still think some of the information conveyance needs touching up. Like, I thought combining colours to make new ones was pretty neat, but why does red and green make blue? I think it would be more intuitive if you started with red, blue, and yellow and made complementary colours from there.

Very fun, instantly became addicted! Great game!

It took me a moment to figure out what I was doing - it wasn't immediately obvious to me that the green symbols were meant to be ticks saying "Boxes with this symbol are okay". It could perhaps have used an in-game tutorial screen to act as a visual aid. Once I got the hang of it, though, it was a lot of fun. It's easy to miss when the change occurs and drop a box a second too late, but trying to keep track of the boxes *and* the objectives is where the difficulty stems from, so that's fine.

It's always great to see PICO-8 entries, and this is a very enjoyable one. Good job!

The game is really not easy, but that doesn't mean it's bad. The idea is really nice and I like the graphics. After getting used to the mechanics it is made very clear what the goal is.

Nice job!

Nice little puzzle game. Bit tricky getting things to combine sometimes, but entertaining. Well done!

It was a bit confusing at first but I soon got the hang of it. It all seems to work as intended and feels quite well rounded. It was a bit of a struggle to manage everything so it was more intense than fun to play. Considering the time you had this is a great accomplishment.

Nice to see another Pico-8 game! A neat idea, and I really like the sprite work. Well done!

Loved this! Feels like a classic action puzzle, kind of like bubble bobble. It was a lot of fun, and felt really polished and nice. Impressive work for 15 hours! :grin:

what an 5/5 INNOVATIVE pico puzzler! super cute game, i too made a pico-8 cart this time and i too didn't have time to make music for it.

great job awesome compo entry

This is really fun! Simple but well-polished. I noticed that I didn't find myself doing the combining very often---I ended up finding it easier to just deliver the base colors really quickly to stack up points.

Fun yet challenging game! I was too busy delivering packages so I couldn't be bothered with combining. The only time I did is when all packages were forbidden so I spent my time combining to see how it works.

Very good compo entry. It's REALLY confusing at first (at least was for me), struggled with understanding I could move the thing that selects which package to move. Also confused with difference between Z and X until I remembered this was PICO-8 and thus it doesn't matter which one you use (I think). Obviously could be more polished but given that this was a Compo entry I'd say good game.
