The graphics are trippy @.@ and the play control is a nightmare! XD But I guess that's what you expect from a rage game, right? Well done.

Music is loud, can controll the volume, and can't turn of the sounds, thats frustrating for me. Love how I move the object, but can't figure out how to solve the first puzzle :(

goldyxen 2023-10-03 00:06

The first puzzle as in the mail delivery? Have you tried putting the letter in the mailbox?

However you may be talking about the one where you pack the truck again, if so that is completely understandable

Wow! The art and sound design on this project are absolutely amazing! I love how everything fits the 8-bit aesthetic and every part of the game feels connected. The fact each level has it's own fitting music is super impressive. Your programmer did an amazing job with the object interactions as well! I loved the fact that different objects could be pulled at different speeds and the rate at which the objects accelerated was so smooth. The only problem i had was that the objects and background sort of blended together which made it difficult to find the objects at first. I only was able to get to level 3 (Clear the path) because i got stuck on the loading screen for the level, if there is a button i need to click to start a level please let me know because I would love to keep playing!

@brandon-mcdonald you probably encountered a bug since there is no loading screen. I am not sure what could be causing it or how to fix it

What a good game, the physics are wonderful glad to see it in such a quickly made game. GREAT WORK

What a nice game! I like how every level has its own theme/track and the art style is great too, but it can be a bit difficult to tell which objects are interactable.

I liked this one! The retro graphics were cool, although I found it hard to tell what I was clicking on. I ran into a few minor issues; the click boxes on some of the objects seemed to be misplaced and I had to guess where to click, and some of the levels wouldn't register when I thought I had won (the second truck one, and the "sort" one - although that one I wasn't sure what I was supposed to be doing). The music also got pretty repetitive after a while, although I appreciated the variety. Otherwise, I thought it was pretty fun.

@cody-raethke in the second truck level you were supposed to not put anything in the red rectangle.

In the sort level you were supposed to sort cloth hangers by color. If you downloaded the jam version then this level becomes unbeatable after loosing once since i forgot to clear the hanger lists.

The only song that i think is repetitive is music for the sort level. I don't think i could make a better theme for a clothing store.

I tried playing your game but when I launch the exe it only opens an empty command prompt, is there something else to do?

goldyxen 2023-10-16 13:47

@lastuck there is supposed to be a game window. Try redownloading the game

lastuck 2023-10-16 14:02

@goldyxen I retried and it's the same sorry, maybe my pc is blocking sth

goldyxen 2023-10-16 14:10

@lastuck are you using windows? It might be because the game is unpacking but it shouldn't take long.

I don't think i can help you

lastuck 2023-10-16 14:15

@goldyxen yes I am, i guess that's it, too bad

I don't know what engine you are using but maybe you could do a browser version for everyone to play

goldyxen 2023-10-16 14:29

@lastuck i am using monogame and it doesn't support web export

spaceylake 2023-10-16 16:16

Cool game but pretty hard. The art style was cool it felt like you had drawn everything in higher resolution and the downscaled it. However this made it hard to know where exactly I was clicking. On several occasions I grabbed the wrong item. The items also kind of melted in to the background. It was hard to know which things was of significance and moveable. Otherwise the music was good and overall I liked the game. Good job! Cool that you use monogame, I used it in the beginning of my game dev journey but switched to Godot both because of comfortability of using an engine and because I started developing together with a friend who thought Godot would be a good engine.

Well, it's packing, and it's hardcore. :P

I was a bit confused by some objects, as well as their hitboxes on the factory(?) level seen from above (I guess their click boxes are the same as their collision boxes?), but other than that it's a cool game. (Sort of) easy to learn, hard to master. And it fits the theme both in gameplay and in graphics. Good job!

WOW... Had to quit playing after 5-7 minutes.... That is, to be sure I still had a computer.. RAGE..!! :rage: Level 2 just pissed me off, took the first 5s just to move the couch further into the truck every time. Love it :smile: Great graphics and game-play. :thumbsup:

I downloaded both versions for Windows to make sure it wasn't a bug in the fix version. The game screen is very small and doesn't resize, giving the impression that there is more going on outside the screen. I take the letter and put it in the mailbox and nothing happens. I don't know if it was me or... The graphics are pixel art that is a bit confusing and with very low resolution, but it may have been intentional.

goldyxen 2023-10-16 19:55

@lincolnsalles your supposed to go to the next level when you deliver the letter. I am not sure why it didn't work for you.

digital-bacon 2023-10-17 09:47

Interesting game. The stylised pixel art is very pretty, but can make it hard to see what's going on. Good work!

saramartins 2023-10-19 00:37

The art is pretty cool, though it's a bit difficult to know where you're really clicking 😅 Sometimes it wasn't easy to grab the items, and I was a bit confused about what was happening at times. You did use the theme in a very interesting way; I believe some tweaks will make it an even better experience!

I love the idea!!
