Like everyone else, at first I thought I was supposed to eat the cheese. Even trying to avoid it, I can't seem to get very far...the broom comes and I'm done. Is there a mechanism to try to avoid the broom once it appears?
Music is awesome and perfect for setting the mood!
Loved it! Good challenge and fun. Sounds are great!
Love the art style and the concept is pretty cool! There were some wonky physics that almost helped me get out of my little fishing hole I was trapped in. Nonetheless, I somehow won with 16 fish! LOL
Awesome - super polished and great atmosphere..."blah, blah, blah!" ;) Beautifully done. The music was perfect!
Great take on the theme! The music is perfect and sound affects are great. The graphic style and animations are really cool. It is elegant in its simplicity, but that being said, it would be nice if there were some more dynamics/mechanics that were available. Great job!
Cool puzzler -- more of a fill the space than a running out of space, but hey, space is definitely involved. As others mentioned, some audio feedback would probably make this more amazing, but I could certainly have fun with the puzzle aspect for quite some time (if I had some sound... ;) )
@magmafortress you apparently did a great job nonetheless -- I've still got it up on my desktop and am trying to figure out one of the levels -- maybe a level indicator would be nice too, so I know how far I've gotten!!! :)
Loved these puzzles!!! Great use of the theme and loved the minion cheering section! Yes to mobile!
Love the puzzle aspect and the hints. Although I obviously don't know much about vegan, thought I had the second puzzle, but couldn't get it to solve. Great job!
Thanks @remicraft! It seems the controls are a love/hate relationship with players, some like snappy, others do not. We have made some fixes to hopefully eliminate getting trapped between the box stacks and under the box colliders and we may upload that soon. Thanks for playing!
@haberworks thanks for playing! We thought about the ability to re-stack, but our thought was that ultimately made the quick decision making process much less important. We have some ideas to further refine and extend gameplay. Maybe re-stacking will ultimately make its way into the game in some form or other! ;)
Thanks @ja-viera! You are correct - for the sake of time, we chose to explain mechanics in the Ludum game description instead of in the game. We do plan to continue to polish and enhance the game and certainly will have hints and instructions in-game.
@stefan-jovanovic there's certainly some balancing to do -- the deliveries are completely random at this point and you might get 2 boxes or you might get 12! Grab and stack pregresses pretty leisurely, but with the enhancements version, maximizing score requires packing with a little planning and random-strategification. We've got a few ideas for lengthening play and score ceiling. Animation was certainly on our list, but time ran out and it had to be postponed. Mike is already working on rigging the character tho.
@humpert764 thanks! All of the sounds were made with a headset mic and some creative SoundForge Studioing. Most were mouth sounds, but the progressive packing dingalings started off as dinging my coffee mug with my dog's pill popper that happened to be laying on the desk next to me! ;)
@scottyseus Mike created the character and did an awesome job -- when he showed it to me, I just said...YES!!! ;)
Thanks for playing everyone!
@martintristan Thanks! Yes, we are working on character animations as we speak! ;)
@rahim-pxr Thanks for playing and we certainly will take a look at SpaceLab!
Totally missed the whole "typing game" in the instructions and had no idea what I was doing... :) However, once I figured it out, it was fun. I can play these types of games for quite some time. Lumosity had some games like this and I enjoyed them as my first-ish introduction to the type.
Audio and visuals were pretty awesome. I didn't fully understand the mechanic...although, that said, I was able to defeat at least one boss level. I think I wasn't sure how the select worked...sometimes I could select, other times not. It seems like there are a lot of mechanics involved which is cool but would be better to know at least what some of them are. For instance, it appeared when I had the shield, I couldn't do much else but move around, which really didn't matter, because I had the shield. :)
Great presentation, lots of polish. I apparently suck at it and didn't have much fun because of that, but the idea was great and conquered the theme -- the King would be proud. ;)
Great take on the theme. Evast - love it! Liked the graphics. Is there a way to win or is it just to see how long you can survive? I ran the cleaner almost 9 minutes in and then didn't get any other files -- I guess I won!!! ;) One thing with the graphics, they're great, but due to the colors, I had a hard time seeing the text in the upper right corner.
I apparently suck at parking cars, but once I figured out what I was doing, it was a lot of fun. The pressure was great and the dynamic was a lot of fun!
