You've just accepted the role of 'Authorized Kit Quality Assurance Technician' at the local snowman kit manufacturing facility.
The job is simple. Make sure each kit contains the following:
1 Hat 1 Scarf 2 Pieces of coal 2 Sticks for arms 1 genuine plastic carrot nose
As the items come down the holly jolly conveyor belt, they will stop at your station for a brief quality check. If everything looks great(as of course our products are amazing!), do nothing and the kit will be forwarded to shipping.
If the product does not meet expectations, hit that big REJECT button (with happy blinking light goodness) and we'll make it... disappear.
Good luck, don't mess up. You only have one chance at this miracle job.
(This was created in about an hour, I may put together a post compo with a sweet sleigh bell track that loops and loops and loops and...)
I really like the idea. You actually did something other than "you only get one life". Would have probably been better if it was an "approve" button instead, as the player is left not interacting at all for long periods of time as is. Also, there could be some sort of upgrades to spend the money on.
Good concept, nice graphics, and an excellent simulation of being QA for a conveyor belt. Unfortunately, the main difficulty for that job is fighting boredom, which is probably the least useful enemy for a game.
I'll echo Coblynau's comment by saying it captures the essence of factory life. I would have preferred if it didn't, though. It's a little too passive most of the time. A little music would have spiced it up a bit.
This game is very, very good for a one hour jam. I wonder what you'd have done if you had used 48 hours (I've seen your awesome art on your website).
It was fun at the start but needs something added to it to mix it up a bit, liked the graphics and did feel a bit nervous getting 6 good kits in a row.
Interesting ideas... please try to expand it to have more levels with different items.... and release it for iOS :) It would be great to have an Accept button as well.. Congrats.
Kudos, sir. Kudos.
