Welcome to your peaceful life where you load Medicine, Wine and GUNS! You play as a Cargoman
loading cargo onto pirate ships and deciding what to bring and what to leave behind. But make sure you don’t leave the wrong things otherwise you may be out of a job (or a life).

Read your letters carefully to stay out of trouble. Or to get into trouble? I always forget which one.

Hope you have fun!

very creative! I think it can become a good game when it is perfected.

I really liked it, I can imagine playing this in my free time. Maybe I would just appreciate if you were able to rotate the crates, but I guess that's the part of the puzzle, right? :)

PS: LOVED THE BEATS!

Neat idea, although I wish you could rotate crates, that could give more options to fit things in place.

very good idea for this theme, how to keep the balance require some trade off.

music and sound is amazing, make me feel like i'm on board.
i wish i could make some audio like this in 48 hours;)

Very good game. Figuring out how to place boxes perfectly made me spend some time in this game. Nice polished mechanic.

I love how you've taken a simple puzzle game and added an extra layer on top of that with the values - my only wish is that there was a way to increase the letter size, like maybe once you click on it the paper could take up the whole screen? Would make it much easier to read them!

Very relaxing

:) Very cool! I wanted to get all the things in though!! So much great narrative here! Nice writing.

Well done, I like the 'Papers Please' style requests and story elements. Really made the gameplay feel meaningful. Great work :D

Great job on the game idea and the music. It fits very well. I also really liked the puzzles. My 2 complains will be: sometime after putting down a gun I couldn't pick it up, and letters could be a bit bigger, to make them easier to read. Overall, it was a lot of fun to play!

Fun - little bit of packing items in with a little tracking of different stats.
The narrative stories were interesting. I wish the text was a little bit bigger so I wouldn't have to scroll as much.
I learned today that when packing a pirate ship you need to bring a lot of medicine!

Very interesting idea, there's lots of story telling i like it

Vimlark5 Oct 2021, 21:05

Great work. I really like the mechanic of having to balance the three different stats along with the placements.

Nice idea, the story in the letters was a nice touch too! I also liked how the music changed when I finished a level. The game did seem to bug out sometimes for me though, where I couldn't move some of the objects.

Very interesting story and game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 49 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/_QnfntM1G-4
