In the last playthrough there was a moment when the boxes did not spawn for about 15 seconds, apparently it was due to the spawn parameters
It would also be cool to be able to spin boxes with the RMB.
However, you did a good job anyway!!!
The game also has a nice color palette
On the other hand, I have found a bug, if you throw a piece under the conveyor it doesn't fall on it and therefore it doesn't burn.
Despite all the criticism, I liked the idea a lot and I think it could be interesting with more time of development.
This really works well though, good controls, I thought it was fun.
At first I thought I could rotate the stuff after it's placed in the truck. Maybe that would have made it easier to play.
My one bit of feedback is to have a slightly smoother ramp between "I can get every package" to "This wall of packages are getting burned" so you're encouraged to juggle packages on the conveyor.
Nice job!
One thing that does weight the game a bit down is the balancing, since you will inevitably get overwhelmed as early as level 2 and it's basically impossible to not burn packages, so the difficulty probably needs to be reworked. It could also be nicer if the boxes were easier to grab!
But overall a nice entry that leaves me wanting for more box-fitting inside trucks, great job!
I could not play it in Firefox (Godot complained about missing Cross Origin Isolation SharedArrayBuffer), but it worked in Chromium.
It's a simple concept but surprisingly satisfying and addictive. I legitimately lost track of time and played this longer than I should have. Really great entry.
Sadly, I have a bug. I tried four times on two different browsers (Firefox and Chrome) and the same thing happens - the game just hangs around the second truck on day two and refuses to proceed. Everything freezes and does not unfreeze.
Warning for everyone, don't play it with a trackpad, it makes those game 10 times harder. XD
I was thinking about how in Tetris the (bottom) line disappears if you fill it with blocks, to relieve the player a bit.
Maybe you can do something like that too, where if you combine packages really space-efficiently you get bonus points which result in the packages shrinking. This gives the player a way of buying more time/space.
Anyway, aside for those minor issues, a very well made game!
I would like to be able to retroactively change the location of the package in the car if I find that I have placed it wrong.
good work:)
Thanks you for the game and wish you even better future projects! :)
