Can't find the game on you itch.io page :(
Can't find page .
I want to play a sorting spider now. :smile:
@darkwolf @hmrpf @deloriand @cloistered Whoops, it was still in concept! It is public now!
I actually did manage to play it without issue. but I do have a few things to say. First I'd say it could use some music. "I did see the limited time notice" And the game could start sooner as in the beginning you're just waiting for a package not knowing what to do. Other than that the game looks good, and works without issue.
uugh why would you do a game like that my brain hurts now :D Did 55. Great game and it's stunning to see how hard it is while it seems so simple. It's already super playable and fun. Good job in only one day !
Cute little game, good for a last-day effort surely! Sounds would be great, and it starts off pretty slow but is still fun for a bit.
Cool Concept! Would be great if the game started off a bit slower and then ramped up once you had figured out the controls :) Art style is cute!
Really cute and fun! I love the look of it and the gameplay is really chaotic! If I had to suggest some changes it would be maybe a little more lead time on the packages on the first belt, some sort of lives system instead of dying on the first one, and maybe a bit of animation on the spider as the game is very static as-is. But those are all super minor and it's a fantastic game!
Cool idea! Spider style got me!)
Hey, that's a pretty nice entry. Would be cool to see any changes happening to the field after 10 deliveries or different layouts overall, but otherwise quite well done :thumbsup:
Cute! Took me a few tries and would be nice to be able to click to change since I find the keyboard to be one layer too far removed but overall really fun and quite challenging!
Interesting controls, I got 29 points. Nice little entry.
Fun concept! It's really satisfying once it gets rolling.
I agree the lead time on the first belt could use a bit of an extension, the game is quite punishing right now.
Works really well and is fun, considering all if this was created in a day. I agree though with @stellarnightmare that it could start earlier and maybe also ramp up a bit faster. The first few packages can come in slow, so you gave time to get to know the mechanics, but then it takes a while to get really challenging. I managed to get until 48, before my brain collapsed... but maybe I just need more legs ;)
Nice game, it was fun and challenging to play. Takes a while to get faster, but when it does it becomes chaotic :D Good job, especially in such a short time :)
Really fun simple game. I wish it ramped up faster as it took awhile to get challenging. I really like the art. The only thing that was missing was sound effects and music. It would have brought it to the next level. Would love to see this expanded with sound and more levels. Fantastic job! 37 was my best. spider.PNG
I got 31! This is kind of the QWOP of sorting games, a lot of the difficulty comes from the odd control scheme and the distance between the spawn and the goals.
Neat little game and impressive for such a short time! I think it might have been nice if the starting leg was just a little longer, but overall a short fun time. Scored 13. GG.
For a game made in one day, it's great! It lack some important element but you already made a list of them! The idea and the way the game is set up is clean and clever and this could make a good little game!
This is a nice concept. Using QSE for controls felt awkward and I would have preferred something like QWE or arrow keys, but it works. I like the spider theming and I think the concept could be great if you expanded it a little more and had bigger levels. Little tip: adding symbols in addition to color coding is a relatively quick and easy way to make this sort of thing colorblind accessible, but missing that in a game jam is not a big deal. I like the game!
Wicked thing is that it's hard to play with these kind of controls, but would be easier if you change Down arrow for Up arrow, seems to me. Cause we're thinking of the 1st arrow as the starting point, not the backdoor. Maybe, I'm wrong, but you can test it. Overall, interesting design.
Such a great game! I liked the concept.
The controls are, somewhat, confusing in the beginning, but due his simplicity is easy to master (played using the arrow keys).
Despite the lack of animations, I liked the graphics.
Some music would be a great addiction to your game but I understand that the jam's deadline might be cruel sometimes (my own game doesn't has music due this :sweat_smile: )
The gameplay turns really frenetic at the end but I manage to score 39 points.

Overall, a good job! Congrats!
Pretty good pixel art, even without the spider animations. The first conveyor belt needs to be longer, or the colored tubes leading to it need to blink/pulse before deliveries, because the initial gate gives very little lead time for reactions.
Would have loved some sound, but such is a jam. Cute game.
Super cool game, love the pixel art ! It's really quite stressful since you have a super short time between the production of the box and the first crossroad, and if you panic too much then you just have to wait until the end and contemplate your failure :(
