Use of the limitation
In my game the player sorts a belt of objects into chutes. This belt keeps on going faster and faster, making it harder for the player to stop things from zoming by and being sorted.

Loved the visuals and sound design! The gameplay is simple but still quite enjoyable, and I love the chaotic feeling as the difficulty ramps up. At first I actually didn't realise you had to drag the object into the black area of each chute - I was dragging them to the icons instead (which might be my own fault) but maybe adding stronger visuals/borders there would help communicate things better. Great work!

AHHHHH Must sort faster!! Love it! Great work!

Such cute authentic retro vibes! I could tell you put a lot of refinement into the aesthetics, the sounds, the tactileness. So simple, but really fun to play. 

I especially liked that it's coming in slow at first to give you a feel for it, and then it's like "OK YOU GET IT *BOOOOOOOSH*" And dumps a whole hardware store waterfall on you. I laughed out loud and cried a single tear, then got some carpel tunnel trying to keep up. 

Extremely solid work, genuinely enjoyed playing it.

Really fun little game! The soft color palette makes it nice to look at, and the conveyor belt speeding up is a cool mechanic that makes things go from chill to chaotic pretty fast. Grabbing the components can feel a bit tricky sometimes, but it also adds to the pressure in a good way. Nice work!

Also, if you have time, could you rate my Mini Jam game too? /jam/mini-jam-214-machines/rate/4750260

Very simple but enjoyable..  gets really overwhelming very fast! I like the art style. God job.

A cute, miniature game. Awesome!

I liked the visual style; the colors aren't painfully bright. On the contrary, you chose a great color palette.

The idea of losing control as the conveyor belt speeds up is cool.

You really nailed it :)

Definitely gets out of hand, the components are sometimes hard to grab, but I would assume that's the point. Good one!
