I got paid $1.15! The theme of the game is so depressing tho, the "Amazing" company overworking their employees yet they paid them so little in return. The falling boxes eventually gets overwhelming, I could only imagine this is what amazon employees feel on blackfridays. Good job creating a slice of the life of an amazon worker!

Pretty fun game! Liked the package drops and on occasion had a super powered jump which was fun. Like the online leaderboard fun to see how other players are doing. Good animations on the player too.

Fun little game! I agree with Robert above, it did feel pretty depressing but I think that's fine with the theme being what it was. I had fun bopping around. I'm not sure if I fully understand the point of the bomb though? It didn't appear to be blowing up boxes and I couldn't find any text that described what it was for?

Fun overall though! Very polished appearance and having audio was a nice plus.

Awesome job! The use of the theme is really clever, and fits the gameplay/thematic really well. The money ticking at the top is also a nice touch. Only comment I have is that the sound is very loud right off the bat, and I couldn't find a way to control it. But really great job otherwise!

Got $2.15 but couldn't save the score. Very fun game though :D played it longer than I would like to admit

really cool! I did manage to jump out of bounds somehow but other than that, went smoothly

Had some fun dropping boxes. I didn't have the feeling that I had a lot of agency over what was happening, and was getting stuck in between boxes, with nothing else to do. Got on the leaderboard 2 times though!

2.15 dollars after all that hard work, what a shame... The sound accompanies the atmosphere of the game well throughout (and I admit I loved doing gigantic jumps where I went off the screen :D) Good job!

The most amazing thing for me about this game is the working leader board from the browser :D How did you do it? I have CORS error when doing requests. :( Good job overall, I like the art. It's hard to use the bomb well. The gameplay is pretty smooth. I haven't found any bugs so good job!

Cool spin on the whole Tertis thing, like the idea of being apart of the actual stacking. The music got a little grating though, but that's not really a huge issue.

Great game! First i tried to make a tower and climb it to esacape the warehouse. It took me a round to understand the mechanics - but maybe I was just a bit biased by our own game :D I played it several times after that, it was a lot of fun!

I spent a whole hour to get on the leaderboard:)))

Loved the "amazing" banner art. Was a fun little game, keep up the good work!

I tried to get on the leaderboard but my gamer skill on low level). But i like the controller of the player and sounds

The theming is really clever! I got a bit lost on what I was meant to do - I feel like there's not much to do other than jump and bomb. It would be nice if there was an objective/mechanic to get more bombs?
