This one was really fun although I felt the view angle of placing the blocks in the crate was sort of weird for the first few. Overall though, really fun. Good job!

Looked good and was fun to play. Took a few containers until I understood the "perspective" on the boxes. A good twist on a "reverse tetris". Controls worked great. Good work, and a great take on the theme
Amazing game, it got me addicted for a good hour. If anything, a restart level button would help a lot since there were times I got myself screwed, and all I could do is wait for the timer to run out. The music is really well implemented too, with how it's based on how much time is left.
Very fun game that feels satisfying to fill up the train with cargo.
Could potentially be made smaller with less space, for a more faster-paced and frantic gameplay loop. At first I was racing as fast as I could, but then two levels found the time limit to be very forgiving, so I slowed down and tried playing more intelligently. It does feel a bit tiring to fill up the whole train, so maybe a smaller one would help with that.
Very polished, I spent a while playing it
Very satisfying and addicting game. I like the simplicity of the controls. A good entry overall!
@anciententity Thanks! I think the perspective issue you found is caused by some shapes being incorrectly centered when you pick them up, that's a bug we didn't get to fix.
@onsson Thanks for giving it a try!
@lexyvil We did consider a restart button but decided to go for the cargo remaining screen instead. Thanks for playing it!
@broondoon The pacing could definitely be improved, we were thinking of balancing the time for each level but ran out of time ourselves. Also, we wanted to have some of the levels have pre-placed obstacles that you would have to work around. Thanks for trying it!
@nuin Thanks for playing it! I really loved your game, it's probably my favourite I've seen so far!
@blinyadebil Thanks!
Amazing game, everything is great. You can add story and something to do with money and it will be full game. Blocks could be placed in the same position as they sprite rather than green box, but that just a little thing. screnee.png
Yeah, the cargo dropping can be a bit to get used to. Hopefully we'll get the placement preview centered and then it should be a bit more intuitive. Thanks for the feedback! This was my first game jam, and it was a super fun experience. I'm excited for my next one!
You've managed to turn anxiety into a game in the best possible way - good soundtrack, great graphics and surprisingly addictive! It took me an embarassingly long time to realise that you could rotate blocks though (probably just didn't read the instructions closely enough), and there were a couple of times where I got stuck and had to wait out the timer. Overall had a great time with this game :)
Nice tetris update, really liked it. The sound is the best.
I love the Tetris kind of feeling to this game! Coming up with the best ways to use up space as quick as possible it a super fun challenge. Well done!
Very nice game ! the music making you stressed for the last pieces is very good. I failed level 4 waiting for the last piece i needed, really cool concept
Had a lot of fun with this one!
Pros: - Great music, it speeding up as the timer ran out definitely amped up the pressure - Fun Mechanic - Cute art
Possible improvements: - Placing the Crate at it's sprite, This caused me to misplace a couple times - A way to restart level once you know you've lost it based on the remaining pieces.
I loved how it started out real simple to get you used to it, but quickly it became a game of planning ahead and dexterity! Very well done all around. Bravo
Ooh this game feels really polished, and addicting in its simplicity! I really like the way the music changes as time presses on, and just placing/dropping the cargo feels satisfying. Nice work!
Trainwreck is a delightful challenge. Its arcade-style mixed with puzzle mechanics had me hooked from the start. The idea of maneuvering the crane to place cargo efficiently was engaging. The graphics and sound complimented the gameplay well. Maybe in future updates, a placement preview would enhance the experience even more!
this is much more fun than i thought it would be at the beginning. smooth control, nice pixel art, reasonable difficulty all makes it extremely fun to play. one of the best i've played so far
@jsmailes @medow @teamelon @nomus @raphiell @joshedev @pabloabraham @haotian-chen Thank you for all the amazing feedback everyone!
God, this game scratechs so many itches, just couldn't stop playing. Amazing work!
This is way to addictive! I completely lost track of time playing this game. You should add a warning :D All I have to say awesome game! Great job!
Just reading all these comments now. Thanks so much everyone for the amazing and constructive feedback!!
This is by far the most fun I've had playing a game this jam!! Everything is so well designed and the game play is so stressful and addicting. The mouse cursor you made is super cool too. Great job all! It would be nice to have a "restart level" button. Sometimes I make a huge mistake or just don't have enough pieces to win and I have to wait a while for the level to end. Other than that, I have no other feedback. This game is awesome! :smile:
Very interesting game! Loading cargo, I love this gameplay!
Super fun game! I love how hard it gets to pack everything fully in if you're not careful at the beginning. The different shapes create more challenges as time goes on, as well. Very nicely done!
