My First LD entry ever. Originally about an overworked factory worker who was to collect crates and load them in trucks turned into an endless game where the factory worker will never die and is imprisoned in factory worker's hell forever collecting crates on the left side of the screen. This is worse than pong.

This is not even worth one star! Where are your priorities, self? You better do better next time! That is why work gives you paid time off!

Seems like it could be fun, it just needs to be polished more.

I had a hard time understanding what to do actually. Couldn't find the truck. There might be something there in the future but for now the basics seemed a bit lost. Keep it up!

Nice one for entering and submitting. Concept is solid. Needs a load more polish.

Thanks for the feedback all! A lot more needs to be added, of course. I am still new at this so the bulk of my time was spent making things work...

Haha. 5/5 humour, but can't give you more than a couple of stars on the overall.

I like unique concepts like this, which is why I even rated 2. I actually tried to figure out what to do for a couple of minutes before I read the description. Turns out I was playing it like a pro!

TBH, I had no idea what to do. Maybe include some instructional text.

Pros:
- Entire game on one screen. 10/10. Perfect. All requirements met. Couldn't be better. Wow :D
- Controls work! Left goes left, right goes right! Very powerful too, can go off screen and into oblivion like a cinch!
- Minimalist graphics! I loved all 3 of them. Artistry Extraordinaire.

Cons:
- Needed game

first step is the harder, keep making game now...
the idea of endless worker is interessant.

Well, it's playable! You did better than everyone who DIDN'T submit something. ;) Really, all you need is to be able to jump onto the platforms, and then a lose condition. Keep at it, hm?

"into an endless game where the factory worker will never die and is imprisoned in factory worker's hell forever"

Hey, almost like real life! :D You deserve points in humor, sir, for that first comment against yourself. Nice job!

As others said, the game is bare bones but the idea is great. Congrats on your first LD!
