I was happily surprised when I realised there was more to this than just putting stuff into boxes. I think the biggest improvement would be to have some kind of visual or audio feedback with the brick and getting to the POIs could be a little wonky sometimes

Submitted

Hmmm, it was kind of fun throwing things into the box but I couldn’t work out how to pull out the brick.

Submitted

Had to look in the guide because I didn't know how to pull out the brick, otherwise very cool short game.

reminds me of henry stickmin

great audio, solid submission, thanks!

Submitted

i'm still confused what to do, but i liked the hand-drawn artstyle!

Submitted

Management was really angry hahahah! Nice use of the bottom part!

Submitted

nice sound design 

Submitted

confusing but audio and art give you a high rating

Developer (2 edits)

Agreed, really needed a tutorial of sorts. That was is the concept, but plans change as you realise you planned too much. Oh well
At least you liked the art I threw together!

Maybe Fred will teach you the ropes after the Jam ends :)

Really loved the animation style, the music and the humoristic tone of the game ! Wasn’t able to discover the brick secret sadly :(

Submitted

What do I do with the brick? Couldn't figure that out :)

Submitted

I wouldn't say it fits the theme, but it is a fun little management style escape room of sorts! Took me a good second to figure out what each part meant/that the brick pulling out was automatic though.

Developer

Yeah, I agree that it doesn't really fit the theme. Although it did fit a bit better in the concept, it is still a neat little game. And yes, the brick sadly doesn't have much visual feedback, ideally would've played a sound when you're pulling it out.

But all that said, I appreciate the comment. Thank you!

Submitted

I was unable to figure out what working was but please let me know if you can and I can redo my rating

Submitted

(Not the dev but worked it out) Walk up to the conveyer belt, basically walk straight down from where you spawn in! then move the items into the right boxes

Submitted

oh I guess I didn't notice the conveyor belt thanks! 

Submitted

Rad and unique idea! Had some trouble getting the mini-games going, and hidden collision would sometimes stop me from walking past the person standing there.

Like the art, and cool music loop. Really interesting approach. This is the kind of stuff comes out of a jam that I love :)

Nice one!

Developer

Thank you!

The reason why the person has annoying collision is because I had him render ontop of the player and didn't want it to break immersion. I think I should've had him against the wall and instead render below the player.

Submitted

Even though management didn't like my actions I had fun and I like the art :D

Submitted

Creative use of the bottom part of the screen :)
