How To Play:

Move: Up/Down arrows

Steer: Left/Right arrows

Hold: Space

I worked until the last minute but unfortunately I didn't manage to add a gameover scenario. So it just goes on forever.
The idea was to move the incoming boxes to the other conveyor belt before they pile up too much.

So if you wana pretend there is gameover by not letting more than 1 box pile up I guess. :sweat_smile:

A little behind the scenes info:

Had not 100% time to spend on the game but I did what I could. Unity refused to work so I made the game in JS(JavaScript) completly, much because I have worked a lot in JS lately but not for gamedev before.

I will most likely continue working on this game for a little while, at least so it becomes like a playable game. :smile:

Code/Engine:

Language: Javascript, Html5 Canvas.

Javascript plugins: Matter.js, P5.

Tags: #2d, #factory, #panic, #singleplayer, #top

Tools: Phaser, p5.js

I got sweatier than I would like to admit once I understood that the boxes where just going to keep coming. Spent a second tackling the controls but once I realize how to move around it was fairly smooth. The only thing I will say negative may just be on my end. Whenever I would move the character with up/down arrows it scrolled the page away from the game. I may of just not been focused into the game though. Good submission and good job using what I would guess to be just HTML5 using canvas? I've never been great at Using javascript for games.

Overall a pretty good game! It fit the theme well, and it was satisfying to shove an entire mess of boxes across the screen to be sucked up by the conveyor belt. I definitely wish you implemented some audio and graphics rather than just opting out, it would have worked well. Good Job!

Pretty good basic concept, but introducing some more mechanics would make the gameplay more interesting.

Really nice concept and whats done is good. The control is a bit slidey but I guess this does add to the challenge. Would be good to see this finished. Kepp up the good work :smile:

I puuush. I think what makes games like these more engaging is having different types of objects to put in the conveyor belt. It wouldn't have to be drawn, but maybe have a voice over with someone saying something or a little description of text on it. It would be pretty fast content making for the future. I liked how the controls were for your game. Keep up the good work.

A good game idea, the music should be improved. The graphics are good.
Try our game too, maybe you'll like it)

One leve seamed a bit short, more levels and perhaps certain filters for boxes would be realy fun for a continuation of the game.
enjoyed this a lot, nicely polished core mechanic :)
