Bankruptcy Countdown by Martin183

[raw]
made by Martin183 for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

The economic situation of our factory has recently been bad. You have to work efficiently to make money for the factory to keep it alive!

Controls: - W,A,S,D for movement - J plus W or S moves fork up/down - K for sprint, but too much sprint slows you down! - L releases parcel

Pick up parcels from the band, and drop with L key at truck with same symbol as the parcel. You will get money when the truck leaves loading dock!

Your game looks really good and the atmosphere is neat, love this pixelated 3D look ! However, it really is difficult to keep the factory alive, I don't really understand what I need to do more.
I enjoyed playing it, so thank you !

Thanks for your comment, we updated the instructions to make it easier to understand, we ran out of times to make a better tutorial!

One of my favorites so far! Great job! I had a little bit of trouble steering the forklift, but I feel like that fits with the design! I loved it! I felt like the only part was was having the forklift raise and lower, but that seemed pretty minor to me.

This game looks amazing, the art style and theme work well. No issues running the game. Well done!

Cool! Feels like pretty job simulator. Think this need camera control and it will be the best!)

Cute little game! I did run into some difficulty when I couldn't see which direction the forklift was pointing behind some of the racks, and it was also difficult to tell where I was setting the packages down for the loading bays in the back.

Oh I loved the music. I also loved the logistics theme. Forklift controls were hard to master but, given the scenario here, added to the challenge. Did have a moment where I loaded a truck but the timer ran out before it drove off, could loaded trucks when the timer hits zero be considered before declaring game over?

Great work! I would have liked a fullscreen option: it was stuck in windowed mode for me, kinda hard to see. And more immediate feedback when you put a box into a truck would have been nice to have. Fun music!

Thanks for all comments, we have had some problems building for webgl. And for windows and mac, we are working to make the window scalable when keeping aspect ratio!

Controls are a bit hard to grasp, but I love the idea!

I love the style! the art is great! The game works nicely, but is a bit hard to control. After a while I got used to it.

I encountered a few issues with boxes just disappearing or not being picked up correctly (plus the controls were difficult to grasp), but aside from that it was an enjoyable little game. My favourite moment was when I drove my forklift inside the truck as the doors started to close. If only it had got trapped in there and driven away...

Good idea! Graphics is great, cat is a nice addition here. I found controls not really intuitive I had to try several times to get used to it. Also I tried to speed up when turning with a parcel, which stucked in the air. Is it a bug or you cant speed up when turning?

Took me 5 tries to finish it, but I finally did it. At first I thought it was impossible, but later I goat a hang of it and found a way to cheese my way into victory :)

Great game. Music and sound effects are very nice. Art style is great, not many voxel games this time.

Cheers!

Fun little game! I liked the voxel art. I found everything a bit hard to control though. I wish the controls were slightly more intuitive. Nice music too. Good work!

Cool game, i love the ambiance ! Well, I have some trouble with the inputs and comprehension of how to keep money. I think it's not really clear ^^ Sometimes boxes are disapearing when I take it and sometimes, I don't really know how, boxes are thrown in the loading zone and I'm not sure it makes me earn money !
It should be nice to have a mini tutorial to understand how it works :)

Cool style, nice music, and absolutely hilarious to make a mess of the warehouse.
I did struggle with the controls a bunch - how about something like scroll wheel or modifier keys (shift etc) to raise/lower the forklift?
Also, bonus points for the cute cat.

This is a game where player becomes constantly better playing it more and more. I think the controls could be more intuitive some how, feels like the game did not read more than one input at the time when driving around with the forklift. Nice solid game nevertheless! :) Good challenge.
