Etiquette by MikoziQ
WRITING PACKAGE LABELS WAS NEVER THAT EASY :package:
This microgame is super simple. There are packages coming down conveyor belts. Each box carries Country Label that will be displayed in the checker. The bigger the package, the harder the word. Type in the word and just wait for the package to go outside checker. Once validated, you may be greet with some score! Or you'll be fired... we all know it's inevitable... right? :joy:

OBJECTIVE :package:
- Write as much etiquettes as possible.
- 4 Mistakes === Game Over
- Each 5 good scores => 1 mistake taken down => you continue to play!
TOOLS USED :package:
- Unity 2021.2.18f1 + Unity Atoms
- Pixelart - GIMP
- Color palettes - Coolors
WHY NO AUDIO?
Sorry... I made this game with half the time. But I will work on it as it's tons of fun :D
KNOWN BUGS :butterfly:
- HTML BUILD - RECOMMENDED FULL SCREEN <3
- Minor Menuing issues

Update: I have found indeed, that spawning packages a bit too close to each other will cause this bug. I've tweaked it (they spawn within 5 meters from each other and not 4) and re-uploaded, cause it's breaking the actual gameplay.
- Since the words disappear as soon as I start writing, this becomes a memory game which I didn't really like.
- The long wait at the start was confusing.
- The description said to press enter but I didn'T have to that to score points:)
@ambrits Thanks for feedback! Indeed, you don't need to Enter the input. I am not able to change the description of the game ATM though, so I have to wait until JAM is done I believe to be able to modifiy the controlss subsection
When it comes to waiting, it was supposed to be a processing part where package is getting ready, but it got confusing yes. Thanks again!
@eli-haun Thanks for playing! Well, for a total of 15-20 hours spent from 48 hours available, I had to pick my poison. It's essentially a Minimum Viable Product, which I would personally expand toward Isometric space instead (like some of my previous entries). I wanted to try something new though :)
A great one day compo game that simple, fun, in line with the theme. Also it was good exercise to remember typing country names especially for a casual map enjoyer like me even tho I made mistakes caused by ı i I İ differences in my keyboard. Great one once again congrats!
But seriously? :smile:

Feedback:
There was a bit of a wait between packages, which really slowed down the gameplay. As well, the big packages you couldn't really see the full name making it pretty unfair.
Overall good entry though :)
I tried playing the game in the WEBGL version from itch.But sadly, I couldn't get the game properly working on Firefox. Even after typing in the correct work, it was counted as a miss.
Another thing was, once the game ended, I tried clicking on going back to main menu and starting the game again, but it was not spawning any packages upon retrying and I had to refresh the screen everytime after loosing! I am not sure if its firefox issue or something else.........
UPDATE: TRIED WITH CHROME AND IT WORKED AS INTENDED, all the problems mentioned above was no longer present!
Fun game! I love the cute cute pixel art! And like a couple of other people mentioned, I do agree the starting wait time feels a bit long as you are almost sitting for 10 seconds without having anything to do initially, but once the boxes start coming in, it is absolutely fun!
Also this happened:

Except these issues, it was quite an enjoyable experience (except when I got the 163 character long labels). Good job
Nice game! I bet it would feel very complete with a few sounds and some background music! Well done
In honour of this LudumDare I played until the shown number ;)

Was a cute, fun game. Spelling games aren't new to me since I participate in LudumDares but this one was especially nice executed, just felt really nice enetring those countries :)
(I also liked that it's actual words and not gibberish ^^)
Seeing the parcels in the upper row first gave it a nice touch!
The minecraftian graphics looked good and give it a clear image, colours were also nice :)
This could be a great typing/geography learning game for schools ;D
I have to say the super long tags... good idea, but simply impossible for me! I understand that you can see it as soon as it enters the labeling area as I'm gonna call it and then you have time until the parcel leaves that area, for the long words this sadly is simply too short I think, maybe there should be a scanning area (in the upper row, perhaps?) where you can already see the label?
Also, I was a bit torn about not seeing the labels as soon as you type - because although I wanted to see them it also was a nice gameplay mechanic that you have to remember - so maybe players can toggle it and get a bit less points or after a certain time it gets toggled?
Would also workd great as a learning game to like show the flags and you have to type the name of the country :D (RIP me, if you ever do that haha, I suck in geography! ^^ but gamification of things, especially learning is in the rise, so who knows? :))
A very cool entry, especially for one person, maybe you can add a bit sounds like a cute 8bit music and player feedback sounds :) Good Job!
I found the very beginning of the game a bit strange, because it takes at least ten seconds before you have anything to do, I tried to click on things and type stuff, but nothing responded. It was not a big deal, but making long intros without interactivity nor explanation is a bit disorientating.
The concept is pretty cool, it could be expanded into a full postal center, where you must label packages and send them to the right destination. Cool stuff !
Besides that, great game! Keep it up ^^
But yeah, solid entry! :smiley:
