How does the game fit the theme?
You want to move, hire movers to do the job, what could go wrong ? Well the movers you hired found some new technologies and might not be the most talented to use it...
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
We reused the combo sounds from Jet Set Radio and left placeholder sounds found in copyright free banks, All the other assets were handmade

Really fun game, love how you get a preview to where you'll shoot, makes the game much more intuitive!
With a bit more development you could easily make a full game out of this, great job
Fun game! The shooting mechanic was super satisfying and fun to play around with, well done on the game :)
Wow this is fun! Trick shot games are very difficult to do in my opinion, and I think you nailed it! The game controls is super smooth, and once you understand how the game wants to be played, it sort of clicks. You could do really awesome trick shots with that nice right-click momentum thing, and it just feels great. The graphic is simple but clean, making every element stand out nicely in this fast-paced game. Loved it!
My only criticism is that, in later levels, you sometimes can't see where the next mover is, and that's such a bummer because you can't really plan with that, and it makes the player resort to either trial and error or replaying the level. This sort of ruined the pacing a bit. Speaking of replaying, it would be nice to have a reset button for each level too, just for those who like grinding for high scores.
Anyway, this is a very nice game and I think it wouldn't surprise me if this is a full launch. Need more content though. Well done!
Thank you very much for your precious feedback! I agree about not seeing the next mover. The way the camera works needs a lot of tweaks to be perfect but we didn't have time to find the perfect fit! I tried to fix this problem using level design. At some places you can see that there are close movers with the second one raised, I did this to encourage the player to use the 'air drift' mechanic (right clic) and trust the game. I'm no professional, but I'll try my best to fix the camera and the level design for the full release we're planning to do! We'll probably tweak the rewind mechanic too!
Feels like shooting hoops! 😂 Great idea and super fun.
What a fun game! Throwing the boxes is fun and catching them really feels rewarding thanks the the sound effects. Amazing job ^^
Awesome game! I had a blast throwing boxes from one mover to another until the final throw to the delivery truck. Awesome work!
Honestly a masterpiece. A blast to play
This game is so much fun! The game design is done tremendously well, you really took advantage of the game mechanics and used them to their full potential! I love how the later levels force the player to throw boxes mid-air or to time their shot to reach the truck before they fall into spikes. The sound design is done really well, the sound effect whenever you catch a box or do something cool is so satisfying and really makes you feel rewarded whenever you catch a box. The art is also very charming, good job! I'd love to play a full version of this!
Was a pretty fun game! The throwing mechanics were a bit difficult for me. The biggest reason being the throw force. It felt like it was a pretty limited amount of time to get the needed force before it moved into the red. That was quite frustrating after a bit. Having the checkpoints made the difficulty a bit more forgiving but being unable to adjust the throw force was the biggest issue for me.
Really good game otherwise!
Really great concept that fits the theme perfectly !
Good job !
I genuinely could play this game all day. The concept is so clever and the reward for playing well is so satisfying! The controls were a bit difficult to get a hold of like maybe time could slow down when catching midair already idk.
BUT IT WAS SO NICE! I love everything about this game ITS SO FUN!
Very interesting and unique concept!
Tho, having to press the mouse to catch the boxes felt a bit weird at the start? (or I guess that's just me). Also, I kind of wish that we could control the force or at least reset the force with which we throw the boxes.
Hope you had fun making the game!
Wow! Thats a really cool concept! Feels fun!
Definitely on my top 3 this jam.
It's so fun and rewarding throwing the box from guy to guy.
The audio is perfect for this sort of game. It's crisp and exiting.
A really satisfying and a fun experience! The art style is well suited for this game and the controls and the game play also feels smooth and satisfying. The game is also well polished. A fantastic game! Keep up the good work team!
It's amazing! Super realization of the theme, cool music and visuals to match it all. I really liked it. Respect and thanks for the game.
I like how you arranged the controls to make it challenging yet manageable.
The audio and art also play a great role in creating an engaging game experience!
Overall, it was a great game experience! The concept behind it is truly awesome and really engaging, but I found the controls to be somewhat annoying at times. While I appreciate the creativity of the game, the way the controls are set up could use some improvement to enhance the overall enjoyment.
nice i enjoyed throwing the boxes it felt nice can you try mine :) /jam/brackeys-13/rate/3348291
I think this is a very successful game! I don't recommend using a trackpad, haha. I think the core throwing mechanic is delightful, and the levels were adequately challenging (level 6 defeated me with the mid-air catch/throw).
I did find that the rewind function isn't very useful, and sometimes breaks (couriers not respawning where they should, or not respawning at all). I also think that failing a level would feel more impactful if there were stronger audiovisual cues, like music, or the package appearing broken, but these are fine details.
Very much enjoyed my playthroughs, would love to see where this goes!
