Crate Crammer by Kartik Kini

[raw]
made by Kartik Kini for Ludum Dare 54 (COMPO)

Your goal is to deliver as many crates as you can without running out of fuel in a limited space warehouse. Carry crates from the depot at the bottom of the screen to the delivery spot at the top of the screen. Match the color of the crates to the colors of the delivery spots. Once all the appropriate crates are placed in delivery, face the "SEND" button and interact with it. You can only order more crates after the existing crates have been moved into the warehouse. Every movement costs fuel, be sure to deliver the required crates and interact with the fuel button when your fuel gets low.

Cool simple concept, I like the black color scheme you got going on. Wasn't sure exactly what those trash cans that appeared were though, lol

Fun to play. I like the vectorial graphical style, which reminds me Tron games. Quite difficult, I think the random generation of boxes needs to be refined to make it easier at first. :thumbsup:

Honestly this is my favorite game I have rated so far. On my first try I ran out of fuel before I was able to make any deliveries. Here is my score for my second try. The movement took a bit of getting used to but once I got the hand of it, I was CRUZIN. Because of the way you designed this game you get a different challenge every time without having a different map layout to memorize. Excellent job!

Looking good. Nice idea that fits the theme. Controls were a bit hard for me but that added to the feeling of a cramped warehouse.

Oh really nice little entry, needs a couple of tries to get used to the movement, but then it all makes sense.
Nice entry overall. GG.

How do I get rid of that one? Getting fuel required a green crate and I did not get a single green crate initially. Tried to empty out the bottom depot, but I can't neither push nor pull that one. Ordering didn't work.

[edit] Okay, I can turn it. Was too late, though.
