I liked the concept, would enjoy getting flooded a bit more though. Add more boxes! let them spawn in multiple places so you have to run across the entire room.

The visuals were pleasing to look at.

Managed to get 1550 high score.

@dries-vuylsteke Thanks for the comment! I agree, I wanted to add in a few more variations of boxes as well. If i continue with this I will make sure to crank up the spawn speed of the orders and the box's.

Very nice graphics and mechanic. I managed to get stuck outside of the borders once, but it's a very cool game!

@falk-bruskeland thanks for playing! Any ideas how you escaped the border?

The pixelart looks great and the concept is nice. With more box variations (and maybe multiple box spawners) this could be a lot of fun.

@mitsu-artemius Thanks a lot! I wanted to have bigger box's and the ability to stack them in your hands eventually so you could carry a few at a time but ran out of time :)

@connorthompson Not really, I think there was just a spot on the top area. Really enjoyed the game, tho!

Cute hero sprite. Boxes need to spawn in a *lot* quicker, though.

Pixelart is nice, great concept. I spent an embarrassingly long time trying to pick up the cart instead of the boxes. Addictive once I was playing it properly.

I liked the pixelart, awesome! Very interesting concept but I'd rather add some kind of explanation what's happening may be even a little bit more animations.

@haustgeirr @gmaker I Agree, i kind of ran out time to add some proper instructions. I wanted to do a bit of a "walkthrough / handhold" on the first order you deliver before the game starts so I will add this if I go back to the project

Not sure if I just got unlucky but I was getting orders way faster than boxes were spawning, so there wasn't anything I could do to play the game better. I like the art a lot though and it's a nice idea on the theme.

@stillnotsure The spawn time can only vary very slightly (between 2-4 seconds) so I will need to crank up the box spawn rate as a few others have had the same issues. Thanks for your feedback glad you like the idea :)

The game is nice! Maybe it needs some audion and, especially, kinda tutorial, but, anyway, great job)

Great graphics, but I wish there was more stuff! Fast music would've made the game more engaging... I do love the look of the orc though. Good job!

Nice work, it could maybe have done with a little more variation in the mechanics, but I like the art style, especially the orc. His animations are great!

@martyxgames er.... error 404 colliders are not responding! (thanks for sharing a screengrab! I will try and get this sorted)

@wekaj Thanks for the feedback, I was hoping to add some more stuff like that but it took me a while to get it to a playable state after I spent to long making my orc guy. I wanted to add the multi shapes / sizes of box and ability to stack them up in your arms (kind of akin to a tiny tetris game)

Lovely art and gameplay.

The only wish i have would be more boxes and more time. In other words, make this more hectic!

Good job! :)

Nice concept and fantastic graphics. Wasn't sure if I was playing wrong or the game is just difficult though. Still, a lot of fun to play!

Cool game and graphics :) Too bad that there is no sounds :/ Plus, the crates come slower than request, at the beginning, I thought that I will have to manage the space in the room and the space on the sreen (with all these cards) but the game stoped suddenly. Maybe that's because I am too good :smirk:

Cool overall game :) Keep coding :)

@mathiouza Thanks for playing! Having the cards obscure the whole screen was the original idea but I struggled to get them coming in correctly across the whole screen so I just left it to two rows and set a timer that counts down in the top. I agree the crates definately need to come in faster and I would like them to either stack up in the spawning bay or break the previous crate to make it more frantic and so that you have to pull all the crates out and fill up the room with crates a bit more

Wasn't very difficult or challenging but liked the idea of the orders cluttering the screen making feel like there's less space, although finished the order before the space was too restricted.

The game is nice and it looks like the one I realized. With some variations but the principle is the same.

The game looks great and has a nice idea behind it. Just needs some audio to add a little more polish. That said, really good job!

I really like the idea of the game, but I think it would have been a lot more fun if boxes spawned across the whole room, and it wasn't always super easy to find what you were looking for. Having orders with different combinations of boxes (instead of just having three kinds of box) was a cool idea. If you do make an improved version I would love to play it! :smile: Good job!
