Such a creative idea, I love the switch between 2D and 3D! The music and sound design is on point too! My only complaint is that it's a bit hard to place boxes inside the truck, they seemed to glitch through the walls sometimes, and I didn't understand what I was meant to do with the boxes after they'd been used, so I just shoved them in the basement room lol. Great job, I'm super impressed you managed to pull this off in 2 weeks!

Wait, this is so creative, what the hell? Loved it! Didn't finish, but I am notoriously bad at puzzle games, so that's ok :D

Developer(+1)

I’m glad you enjoyed your time with our game, thank you for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Awesome game! I really liked the level design, the graphics and the transitions (LOL). Sounds was nice too, maybe the background noise was a bit too loud, but in general great job!

Submitted(+2)

Absolutely killed it with the opening! Insane transition into the 3d portion of the game, blew me away. AND IT SAVES PROGRESS!?!?! Only gripes I have are that the transition into the 3d stuff was a little loud and that the 3d section is a little laggy and has frame dips occasionally.

Developer

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it! And yes, it saves progress!! And yes, it’s a known issue that the 3D section is noticably laggy on web.

very fun idea for the limitation.  I did get tired of unloading every box after each level. maybe a single trash bag so you don't need to go back and forth.  I also was disappointed that except for one time, the answer was just load  up every box.  made the house segments get a bit repetitive.  Maybe it would require more level elements to work, but I think it would be interesting if you had to problem solve which elements actually needed to be loaded.

the first unloading message made me laugh.  got the 16/16, good time

unloading comment....

Developer

Thanks so much for playing! :D
As for reducing the back-and-forth and having more levels that made use of only loading specific assets — completely agreed. A more polished version would absolutely reconsider some of the levels designs and reduce the recurring busywork. Even still, glad you enjoyed playing it and thanks for the feedback! Massive congratulations for getting all the fruit. That is a real achievement and requires some serious dedication! oOo

Developer

Wonderful comment, thank you for the kind words and constructive criticism! (Spoiler alert… you can carry multiple boxes at the same time!)

I absolutely love the gameplay for this!! the concept is amazing, level 3 was very supprising and made me very excited for the rest of the game, collecting everything scratched my brain the right way and the audio was amazing on my ears. Absolutely fits the jams theme and feels very polished. I love this game!

Developer(+1)

So glad you enjoyed the game and its puzzles so much! I love the audio too. Caught myself listening to the soundtrack a few times on repeat during development once our audio-guy put it together. Ha! Thanks so much for playing it! :D

fun game! throughouly enjoyed the puzzles & really liked the computer transitions in between levels :)

Submitted(+1)

This is such a fantastic game! I love your take on the jam limitation, and the switch between 2D and 3D is so, so fun. This is really impressive, you did a great job! 

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! Glad you enjoyed it. :D
We had a fun time designing around the jam's limitation — though we would have loved to take things even further! Maybe one day. ;D

Submitted(+1)

The art ,music, and design is all very good .i Overall enjoyed it just an issue that I did not fully understand on what is happening in 3d world Like when I was also picking boxes sometimes I was unable to drop them down and sometimes the boxes also lagged out or something .But overall loved it.

Submitted(+1)

The art, music, and atmosphere are all very good.

However, I was expecting the game to provide an ending that explains what this "OS" is about, and the connection between the 2D game we are playing and the low-poly world we are in.

Developer(+1)

Very fair!
I can certainly say there is a lot of "lore" the game never elaborates on. We had a lot of stretch goals (that never were achieved) that likely would have shored-up the apparent disconnect and made both worlds much more rich. But alas — pesky time constraints. D:

Thanks for playing it though! Glad you enjoyed it. :D

Submitted(+1)

Awesome game! Loved the puzzles and the transition, i would love see a more polished version of the game.

The only reason i didn't play the game until the end is that I found little annoying having to dispose of the all the broken boxes and sometimes the game don't recognize the box inside of the truck, so i had almost completed a level, but noticed the berry box had not worked and when i went back to the house all the boxes inside truck were broken :(

Developer

So glad you loved it!
Very understandable about the back-and-forth —
We wanted some reason for the player to more thoroughly engage with the transition/home environment. Having the boxes turn to garbage (they were going to turn into garbage bags but this asset remained unused due to time) and then having new equivalent boxes re-spawn around the home was our way to incentivize that! It wasn't a perfect solution by any means... But I'm sure a polished version could smooth out some of the rough edges. Maybe one day!

Cute! A few hints here and there would have been helpful.

Submitted(+2)

The game is very immersive. Very creative. I had good time playing it.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it! :D

This is awesomeee I'm absolutely blown away. You nailed the atmosphere and intrigue. This is super impressive

Developer(+1)

So glad you had such a blast! Thank you both for playing it and for the kind words! ^w^

I'm amazed at what you were able to get done in just 2 weeks!

Really interesting and creative concept, and it definitely left me wanting more at the end.

One issue I found: it seems collision is off in one of the walls in the stairwell to the basement. I fell in it a few times.

Developer(+1)

So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for giving it a play all the way to the end! How many fruit were you able to get? ;D

Funny you mention that a collider seems to be missing —
Collider shenanigans actually happened a lot throughout development. It was my responsibility to setup all static colliders and, despite my best efforts, it seems I have missed one or two. I'm not at all surprised! Haha! x3

Submitted(+1)

Ah well you see.. I got 4 fruit. I just uh... wanted to save some fruit for everybody else, you know?

Seems like there's a lot of spaces for colliders, it makes sense one could get missed, especially with how much content you managed to squeeze in.

Developer(+1)

Ha! Indeed and totally understandable.
Buuuuut there are secretly 8 fruits hidden around in the home... but don't tell anyone I told you!

Submitted(+2)

Super creative game! It's amazing what your team did with the transitions, really impressive! :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much! We did our best to lean into the theme and limitations of the jam as best we could. Glad you enjoyed it! :D

Submitted(+2)

Very cool game! Love the switch up that happens, it really puts some more life into. Well done!

Developer(+1)

Haha, thanks! Glad you had fun playing it. We enjoyed making it! :D

Submitted(+2)

I loved the reverse transition, very creative :D

My orange cat is proud of this game!

Developer(+2)

Glad you liked it!
We do love our orange cats. The one in picture frame is Benji. He is a goofball and truly lowers the intelligence of the entire room. :D
Thanks for playing it!

Submitted(+2)

Loved it! (other than that dark room, lol)

Developer

Which dark room? Was it difficult?

Submitted (1 edit)

Without ruining anything, the first completely dark room after the "interesting transition".  I got the key but couldnt figure out where to go from there.  Unless i was missing something in the transition that would have made the room not completely black?

Developer (1 edit)

Maybe give it another try… there is a way to light up the levels from within the transition area!

Submitted

Ah, will do :D  Got kind of hard to see what i was doing with those boxes, haha
