BtheDestroyer8 Dec 2014, 04:22

A lot like Papers Please. Liked it :)

JohnGalt8 Dec 2014, 05:00

Package, Please!

Man! the time really goes by while we are packaging things! :P

Liked the game... hated the crane! Stupid Crane, get out of my way! I need to confirm where is my next button! :P

Very cool game! Pretty unique idea, and the gameplay is challenging and fun. Great work!

Great game. Similar Papers please which I loved also. Nice visuals and fun!

Really fun! Feels like Papers Please.

I've always wanted to work at amazon. Nice game :)

Not very original, but fun ! Well done, and with a few funny ideas.

Another game in one of my favourite genres: "Mundane Tasks that Somehow Become Awesome Games". This was great! I really liked the art style most of all, and the mechanics were tight, everything fit together well.

Very cool! It would be nice to see how much time you have left.

Nice little idea, well executed. Just enough stuff to remember, without feeling overwhelming.

Nice job all around. Fast, fluid movement. Great use of the theme. Sound was excellent.

Short, but well implemented. I like the packing tape noise.

My wife made a "Mum plays..." of this game: http://youtu.be/j3RLXUCNop8

I just moved, so I can't say packing stuff is my favourite thing in the world;)

Game was excellent though:)

Very fun to play. It reminded me a little of Papers Please. I hope you will continiue working on it and publish it!

Divitos9 Dec 2014, 07:45

I really love the concept.
Reminds me a bit of papers please.
I'd pursue this idea for a post compo version!

Hi there. Well it's a very competent 'boring job' simulator. Shipped three packages first attempt, failed to close first box though! Like the whole approach, but didn't enjoy playing much. Great sounds and visuals.

Fun and simple. Not too much to it but the presentation is quite polished!

TehSkull11 Dec 2014, 05:36

Needs to be more frantic. I like the sealing of the box. Lose the part about the crane moving, and I think you'll have a more fun game. That's just me though.

spacedoubt11 Dec 2014, 05:37

I always get sucked in to playing these types of games for hours. Nicely done!

ondrejbalas11 Dec 2014, 05:43

Fun game! I played a couple times and loved that moment at the end where time is almost up and you're trying to ship that last package and get points.

Monotony done well, a little too well for me.
