Nice entry! We really enjoyed the graphics and models. Sadly the collision of entities in your hands with yourself are a bit wonky and the game would be so much better without this issue.

Nice entry! We really enjoyed the graphics and models. Sadly the collision of entities in your hands with yourself are a bit wonky and the game would be so much better without this issue.
Thanks! Yeah we know, thats why there is pushing/pulling with mouse scroll :D
It is a fun game
Thanks!
I like the idea a lot, but I kept colliding with the things I were holding and it was making me stop in my tracks, I also found the noise meter to be pretty hard to fill, really good theme usage though, rather enjoyed myself.
Thanks for feedback! Yea the meter was giving us some trouble so we nerfed it, it can be problematic in 3rd level, as for collisions you can scroll mouse to move objects a bit forward
please only use zip, I dont wanna have to install 7z just to play this...
The graphics look amazing! The models look great, and the render quality is awesome. Though the mouse sensitivity was so high I got a little motion sick after a while.
A neat little game. I like the spatial management of trying to fit things into the cart and keep them from falling out. The only issue I was running into was the collisions between items—sometimes the noise meter would activate and fill to losing just because a few objects were hitting against each other. Other than that issue this is a great game. Great work!
Loved this game! It had a unique twist on the limited space theme, and was different from all the other entries about putting boxes into shipping trucks! I had a lot of fun playing around with the games and woke the person up a few times, I did find a way to get out of the map very easily and it can be done with every item, you just take the item outside stand on it pick it up and just keep jumping and it makes u fly and you can get out of the map using this Screenshot_1474.pngScreenshot_1475.pngScreenshot_1476.png
Haha, I was doing same thing with the ladder :D It's a funny bug
@junagames Im pretty sure you can easily open 7z with winrar :D but ill keep that in mind in next ones, thanks :D
@arnenia Hi! thanks for feedback, yeah the objects would sometimes go and bump repeatetly, we made sure it wasnt happening as much but sometimes physics didnt care :D
Stole all the cheese Refused to elaborate any further Leaves
Great game, the only inconviniance for me wsa that if you hold an item in front of you it bumps you and slows you down. So i found myself walking backwards all the time. The fact that you need to rotate slowly not to loose the item you are holding is neat. Very fun entry!
@boyar Hi, thanks! Hehe its the most criticised thing, we should have worked on it :D
Really neat idea, and pretty well executed as well. Shame for the forwards walking being a bit buggy :D. Got a fatal error at one point, not sure what happened as I was just walking inside the house at that point...
@kuggenhoffen Walking only does this thing if u come up really close to object, Thanks! No idea about the error, probably physics blew up something
That was fun! Beautiful graphics! Can you wake up the resident? I think it would have been cool if that was a danger lol. Personally I think the way the objects act when they contact your "body" is a feature not a bug. It acts just the way I would have expected it to act, and adds to the challenge and comedy of trying to move the objects. The physics work well. Great job! TheifScreenshot.png
@mrs-wheelsx yeah you can definitely wake him up, it gets harder in 3rd level where there is a lot of golden pieces :D thanks!
Also, thanks for the screenshot! you are the first person who did share it :D
Beautiful graphics! I really liked the mood!
Game kinda fun, and I downloaded 7zip for a first time in my life)
very cool game, good graphics and idea)
Thanks a lot guys! @vadzim we are honored :D
Very creative game I like the concept feel of it
The game looked very nice, but installing this game and programs is almost killed my PS :o Unfortunately it's not optimised to office notebook.
I amazed how you did it in just 3 days. Guys you are amazing!
@hacknick Yeah its possible, phycisc can be heavy :D glad you tried, thanks!
@anton4ik-dev we already had a lot of experience in unreal, it helped :D thank you
Looks awesome! I could't play the game on my notebook, but I'll surely try again on PC when in home. Please like my comment to remeber me to do that and edit this.
the graphics and mechanics are amazing,wish you the best in further games
Such fun game, it's diffcult to put thing in barrel or box but it add a bit of difficulty if you really want to try optimising th cart.
@alexis8 that was the plan!:) but often things in containers bump a lot creating too much noise, we should fix that somehow
Holy shit, this game looks incredible! The physics shenanigans of loading your cart were hilarious. Not only limited space, but also limited time, v nicely done. The little snores as the time was running out, just *chef's kiss*
<3!
Nice game ! I love the quirky physics it works really great with the game. Really nice visually and mood-wise. The only issue I had was that items on the cart could collide too much and raise the alert meter, I lost one round because of that, it only made me loose once so it's ok.
Cool idea that fits the theme and nice concept overall, I had fun ! Good job !
Very good looks, a nice bit of fun, a job well done.
Okay first off, who stores a bird cage like that? Underneath the stairs, on its side?! Poor bird. Secondly, this was a fun take on the theme. I got to the end of level 2 and had a pumpkin roll off last minute putting me just below the threshold. I had a good deal of fun with the game, it always felt good finding the "rare" items because you know you were cashing in for a fat amount of money. The quirky physics, the way they'd collide, and the lack of grip that I apparently have made it all the more fun. Thankfully never lost to the owner waking up, but got real close with the bird. Super enjoyable, good job!
Nicely done the hole cart and shop thing reminded me of a game called hydroneer and loved to see the clunky physics as well, very fun game. Great idea as well.
@seel sorrry about the bird, the owner wasnt thoughtful :D, the wonky physics is part of the appeal of the game, you can actually walk on items when holding them essentialy making you fly, we didnt bother changing it because it is not that easy and fits with the game somewhat :D
Didn't manage to beat the game, focused on taking the pumpkins since for some reason they were worth a lot. The game looks really nice, I like the medieval theme and the fact that I'm literally filling a cart with stuff that feels not valuable at all :D An ultimate thief simulator. A quick question though: when you say that you need to collect enough items or you have to replay the level, does that mean there is more than one level?

@minjutin Hi! Thanks for feedback, glad you played, yes there are 3 levels, full game takes about 20 minutes to play :D
Amazingly fun! I love how you had to balance noise, time, and - especially in the 3rd level - space in the cart. It got frustrating once or twice when pieces just didn't stop making noise, but overall a very cool experience!
Interesting game! Thank you!
The mechanics of your game are fascinating!Full of innovation and humor ideas. Do we planned to have more items and levels?
@xuefeng We may actually take the project further to development after the jam, we will see, its hard to tell for now :D
@qaolin I'm eagerly looking forward to it.XD
@xuefeng now we definitely have to do it ;D
Great Game ! I agree it seems similar game :smile:
It was quite interesting when my cart was so full that it all fell through the back and I had to organize everything very precisely haha!
Its a great entry with a humble twist on the theme. I just wish things were less sound prone! But I guess that is good! haha
@decipator Yeeah in truth objects were hitting each other like thousand times physically, but the audio and noise is all blocked to play once then one second cooldown was applied. But even with that they often bump and thump even when they shouldnt :D thanks for playing <3
Nice game, some of the physics when holding things is a bit meh. With a bit of fine tuning I'd play this a few more times. Not sure if there are levels as I was pretty bad at it, if there are I'll keep playing to find see them.
I really enjoyed this game. Very polished all around art/sfx wise, and gameplay wise it was a really clever blend of physics, stealth, and the theme. I think the noise punishment can be cranked up to better immerse with the stealth portion, as I had no problems sprinting around and throwing stuff around the map. The slippers were a great touch!
@rusty2117 @bradjste thanks for playing :D yay someone finally mentioned slippers xD
That is one similar game to ours ;)
But honestly it's a fun game, and those pumpkins are really rolly!
@watoo45 yeah, it is :D haha
Nice idea. Liked the graphics and sounds. Don't know if it's intended, but when I was turning with an item too fast, it was being dropped. Also when I filled my cart with some items and placed the heavy barrel above it was making noises non-stop for 3-4 seconds even when I left it and without any visual changes. This happened with some other items too, it looks like the physics thing, but should've been much shorter I think. Overall good one, and the cage was so damn scary to touch again when I heard the pet screaming :D.
@dsfan Hi, thnkas for playing :D yes the dropping was intentional so you be have to careful how you move :D cage was @cacadeperro idea added almost at the end :D
A fun stealth game?! Actually really enjoyed this. I never felt like the physics were screwing me over too much and I like the shine effect on the valuable objects. I liked the way the noise meter built up then dissipated over time. I think the ending may have bugged for me? I got put back on the third level with a seemingly endless timer.
@chybby Hi! the endless level was intentional, we didnt introduce it properly :D you can just run around and stack things without time constrainst, thanks for playing through full game <3
Installing is a slog and the motion blur makes me dizzy. Also it grabbed my monitor as an audio output which was irritating. But man i love the stacking! The interactions felt very robust and i like that everything makes a sound. Also super super beautiful stylized graphics and the light make for a sneaky mood! Bethesda should take note! : D
I had a bit of trouble getting to actually play the game (Unreal really doesn't like running on Linux LOL). But once I got into the game I was having a lot of fun. The act of getting things to fit and deciding if I spend time getting a container first was pretty great. I do gotta say that "Alt F4 to exit" is generally a huge red flag for me. I would have appreciated a specific key bind to close the program since some linux systems actually don't use Alt+F4 for terminating an application. Overall well done! I didn't even manage to beat the level but I still had a blast!
That was awesome! I am the ultimate cheese thief. This game is such a vibe, I love the atmosphere. I wish there was a bit more variety in the items you could steal, and I wish it was easier to lose - I intentional tried to make too much noise to see what would happen, and I had to _really_ go out of my way to make it happen. Basically only could do with the candelabra. Still, awesome submission!
@QueenOfSquiggles We didnt really account for linux, sorry :D
