Nice submission! I got up to around 20, I got into a flow state. The music and sound effects work well, and I like the tetris piece shapes. Maybe I didn't play far enough- but would the shape of the package eventually come into play? Like with stacking boxes, or interlinking them. I think that would be cool. The art is nice, I like that everything has a face.

And a huge thank you for having an ESC menu to close out the game, I've seen a few Unity games where ESC does nothing and I have to close the game via task manager.

Nice submission! Very fun Game! The style is amazing, the music and sound effects are fun and engaging, and is even more fun collecting the packages with the ragdol arm going anywhere! :laughing:

I found one bug, I don't know if its a linux/wine issue, but when you change for another windows it just freezes and becomes unresponsive :sweat_smile:

Well done guys, really fun game ! :smiley: Controls are smooth yet harder when carrying packages, loved the ragdoll physics :100:

Good work! Magnetic grip is enjoyable too. That hard live of ordinary drone...=|

@yossarian the shapes comes into gameplay when the map is flooded with obstacles, packages starts to get hit by walls or bumpers and it becomes harder to navigate between those. I love the idea of using shapes to stack the packages even if unfortunately the actual spawn of obstacles would make the game frustrating but I'll think about a smooth way to manage that

I love how the level gets more and more complicated as you play, remembering where the obstacles are and planning around them is really fun and becomes really challenging! It's interesting having to move with the packages weighing you down, having the extra momentum means you have to really think about the way you move. I had a lot of fun playing this, great job :smile:

I enjoyed it! I had a little bit of trouble getting the space bar to work when it swings over a package, but that's probably just my bad timing. Maybe a slightly bigger magnetic hit box would have been nice. Great music and sounds!

atlasflame 2023-05-03 21:43

The art is very nice, and the magnet is very satisfying to control. Its also pretty fun to smash the boxes as well (;

buloz 2023-05-03 21:46

@yodog the grab control needs a little polish......

Thanks for your submission! The gif on your page was really helpful to get what kind of game we are in for :) Great work on the graphics, I was sure this was coming out of a Nitrome game. I enjoyed the physics-style game, but I really struggled with the grapling mechanic, I was never sure if I really had the package and missed the grapple couple of times. Multiple plays didn't help me to smooth it out :( Maybe a sound or some effect would make it clear.

swinging things around has never been this fun, the visuals are sweet

cinterre 2023-05-04 00:45

I really like the physics you've got worked out. The heft of the packages feels good, and doesn't feel too challenging overall. Nice work!

saikai 2023-05-04 07:42

nice playing game with great visuals. swinging things around is really really fun

Enjoyed the game, some more visual/audio feedback on when you can pick up parcels would be nice though.

I do not want to work at such hard factory, ha-ha

yuriscat 2023-05-07 05:02

Great game! I really enjoyed tossing these things around and making a mess everywhere.

I also noticed that the logo for 'fragile' is an upside-down Amazon logo.This is very interesting haha.

chybby 2023-05-07 11:34

This was really fun! The physics of the drone and the weight of the packages felt good. The level got pretty hard but it had a good build up of difficulty while I was playing. The indicators at the edge of the screen really helped.

maakole 2023-05-08 19:06

Excellently done. The physics are fun to play with, and the game is solidly designed. I do think the difficulty ramps up a bit too much; once you pass 20 points, the hazards barely give you room to move. I think there should be atleast a safe spot right above the delivery points.

thunnus 2023-05-08 20:57

I really liked this! Intuitive, silly. I love that the level evolves as you play. The music matched the gameplay. And the running scoreboard! Awesome stuff.

reivilibre 2023-05-12 18:42

Hahah, enjoyed this. Tricky but good. Also appreciate why the logo matches 'sadmazon' :-).

max-amaden 2023-05-18 23:16

I couldn't get enough of the physics, honestly. Swinging things around on ropes will NEVER get boring! I really enjoyed my time with Sadmazon, despite how bad I was at it :grin:

Despite my skills being less than desireable, I really enjoyed the difficulty curve of the game. I felt like I'd get better every run, which is fantastic!

Overall, a great little game and an excellent Ludum Dare entry. Keep up the awesome work guys!! :grin:

PS. Keep it up Blaise, absolute legend :thumbsup:
