The forklift controls very nicely (after some messing around in the tutorial space). There was a point where I thought the game might've broken because it stayed on one tutorial prompt for a few minutes, and the distance you're able to press the buttons seemed off. Still very fun and I spent quite a bit of time hitting some donuts in the forklift.

Wow, this is a great simulation to design in such a short jam! I really enjoyed wheeling around the warehouse and trying everything out. It took me a sec to realize the actual levers corresponded to forward/reverse/up/down/etc, but once I got the hang of everything it was really fun. Nice graphics, good music and sfx choices, and just really solid design all around. Also, that peek mechanic is so cool!

As a forklift driver this game is pretty accurate with the hydraulics/turning/pallet loading etc.
Really well made also. Good job.

Pretty polished game. The forklift feels very nice to manouver. I took me sometime to get out of the tutorial as I didn't realize you can click the button. I tried pushing it in with the forklift or with loaded packages until I realized I can click on it.
It's quite hard to handle but I guess that's part of the game! The vehicle is controlled very smoothly and there are really good ideas such as getting up to see better!

Nice game, but the controls were too hard, so I did not finish the tutorial area.
The controls are really good. The collision noise is way too loud for the rest of the audio. I couldn't seem to exit the tutorial or get any more objectives.

First I get forklift certified, then I become a menace legally. After having tipped over everything in a record time, I understand that I am not to be allowed close to anything able to move a cardboard box.
Found this really frustrating at first but it's well-made and feels very polished. I wish the tutorial actually said which level it was referring to, but that's not a big deal. Nice work overall :)
It's very funny! Sounds nice, looks nice. I just found it incredibly difficult to manage anything at all, but that may be on me, given that some others in the comments seem to think it was fine. I do like the idea of physically pulling the different levers but it didn't feel very good that you lost sight ahead of you to do so, so maybe they should've been assigned to keys on the keyboard instead, leaving the mouse to keep looking ahead.
