@dries-vuylsteke Thanks for the comment! I agree, I wanted to add in a few more variations of boxes as well. If i continue with this I will make sure to crank up the spawn speed of the orders and the box's.

Really enjoyed it! Well done :)

Very nice graphics and mechanic. I managed to get stuck outside of the borders once, but it's a very cool game!
ConnorThompson13 Aug 2018, 09:29
@falk-bruskeland thanks for playing! Any ideas how you escaped the border?

The pixelart looks great and the concept is nice. With more box variations (and maybe multiple box spawners) this could be a lot of fun.
ConnorThompson13 Aug 2018, 09:30
@mitsu-artemius Thanks a lot! I wanted to have bigger box's and the ability to stack them in your hands eventually so you could carry a few at a time but ran out of time :)

Falk Bruskeland13 Aug 2018, 09:35
@connorthompson Not really, I think there was just a spot on the top area. Really enjoyed the game, tho!

Cute hero sprite. Boxes need to spawn in a *lot* quicker, though.

Haustgeirr13 Aug 2018, 10:18
Pixelart is nice, great concept. I spent an embarrassingly long time trying to pick up the cart instead of the boxes. Addictive once I was playing it properly.
gmaker13 Aug 2018, 10:23
I liked the pixelart, awesome! Very interesting concept but I'd rather add some kind of explanation what's happening may be even a little bit more animations.
Dsthedragon13 Aug 2018, 11:24
it was really fun and i liked the art. Nice One
ConnorThompson13 Aug 2018, 11:51
@haustgeirr @gmaker I Agree, i kind of ran out time to add some proper instructions. I wanted to do a bit of a "walkthrough / handhold" on the first order you deliver before the game starts so I will add this if I go back to the project
Stillnotsure13 Aug 2018, 12:04
Not sure if I just got unlucky but I was getting orders way faster than boxes were spawning, so there wasn't anything I could do to play the game better. I like the art a lot though and it's a nice idea on the theme.
ConnorThompson13 Aug 2018, 12:06
@stillnotsure The spawn time can only vary very slightly (between 2-4 seconds) so I will need to crank up the box spawn rate as a few others have had the same issues. Thanks for your feedback glad you like the idea :)
Erendelous13 Aug 2018, 12:17
The game is nice! Maybe it needs some audion and, especially, kinda tutorial, but, anyway, great job)

shinysteel13 Aug 2018, 12:21
Great graphics, but I wish there was more stuff! Fast music would've made the game more engaging... I do love the look of the orc though. Good job!
Martyxgames13 Aug 2018, 12:23
is this a bug or a feature? https://imgur.com/a/HvdfKoC

Wekaj13 Aug 2018, 12:24
Nice work, it could maybe have done with a little more variation in the mechanics, but I like the art style, especially the orc. His animations are great!
ConnorThompson13 Aug 2018, 12:28
@martyxgames er.... error 404 colliders are not responding! (thanks for sharing a screengrab! I will try and get this sorted)
ConnorThompson13 Aug 2018, 12:29
@wekaj Thanks for the feedback, I was hoping to add some more stuff like that but it took me a while to get it to a playable state after I spent to long making my orc guy. I wanted to add the multi shapes / sizes of box and ability to stack them up in your arms (kind of akin to a tiny tetris game)

machrom13 Aug 2018, 12:33
Lovely art and gameplay.
The only wish i have would be more boxes and more time. In other words, make this more hectic!
Good job! :)

Nice concept and fantastic graphics. Wasn't sure if I was playing wrong or the game is just difficult though. Still, a lot of fun to play!

Mathiouza13 Aug 2018, 12:52
Cool game and graphics :) Too bad that there is no sounds :/ Plus, the crates come slower than request, at the beginning, I thought that I will have to manage the space in the room and the space on the sreen (with all these cards) but the game stoped suddenly. Maybe that's because I am too good :smirk:
Cool overall game :) Keep coding :)

ConnorThompson13 Aug 2018, 13:02
@mathiouza Thanks for playing! Having the cards obscure the whole screen was the original idea but I struggled to get them coming in correctly across the whole screen so I just left it to two rows and set a timer that counts down in the top. I agree the crates definately need to come in faster and I would like them to either stack up in the spawning bay or break the previous crate to make it more frantic and so that you have to pull all the crates out and fill up the room with crates a bit more
pomb13 Aug 2018, 13:03
Wasn't very difficult or challenging but liked the idea of the orders cluttering the screen making feel like there's less space, although finished the order before the space was too restricted.
Eric Kulbiej13 Aug 2018, 13:18
Nice game, enjoyed it very much. Keep it up!
ConnorThompson13 Aug 2018, 13:21
@eric-kulbiej Thanks mate :)

Great job, fast paced warehouse management.

AwiX15 Aug 2018, 06:05
Good Gaming Idea, Music needs to be improved Graphics good

afendar15 Aug 2018, 13:46
The game is nice and it looks like the one I realized. With some variations but the principle is the same.

Doey16 Aug 2018, 18:50
The game looks great and has a nice idea behind it. Just needs some audio to add a little more polish. That said, really good job!

Predominant20 Aug 2018, 09:51
Good job, simple playthrough but loved your idea and execution
ConnorThompson21 Aug 2018, 07:10
@predominant @doey @awix Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the feedback and I definitely agree I need to add music if I take this forward :)

DerpyJish29 Aug 2018, 10:29
I really like the idea of the game, but I think it would have been a lot more fun if boxes spawned across the whole room, and it wasn't always super easy to find what you were looking for. Having orders with different combinations of boxes (instead of just having three kinds of box) was a cool idea. If you do make an improved version I would love to play it! :smile: Good job!



The visuals were pleasing to look at.
Managed to get 1550 high score.
