IRS: Infinite Record Sorter
[ A Message From Your Boss ]
Hey kid… welcome to your first day at the IRS.April 16th ain't a great day for us historically speaking, but I'm sure you'll be fine.
Job's simple. Just take the forms coming off the line here and stick 'em in the right pile.
I'll come back and inspect your sorting every now and then, but don't sweat it too much. Definitely don't need all the forms sorted correctly. Let's just say... half the forms? Yeah, that's good enough for government work.
Here's your official grab-o-matic to do the job. It's top secret tech kid, so don't go blabbin' about it when you get home.
Whatever you do, just make sure you don't miss any forms before they reach the end of the conveyor.
You can be a pretty lousy sorter, but they'll pretty much fire you right on the spot for missing a few forms.
Harsh, I know. I don't make the rules kid, I just enforce 'em.
Anyway, I'll be back in a bit, good luck.

This game is really fun and funny. Great use of physics. I like that I could tether the objects from anywhere and that there was no restriction on range. The music is nice too.

Really enjoyed playing it. Physics make it really fun. Trying to throw form while jumping, then watch them bounce was a nice moment.
Would be cool, to have a first red or green form a bit earlier. But it was maybe due to randomness.

Nice graphics and humor!
What does the "inspection" every 60 seconds mean? I could not figure out, if nothing happens or if i missed something.
(I did not have any of the reported problems with flying characters.)

Fun physics game, gets hard quite quickly. I like the tether mechanics.

I was trying to run it on my ubuntu machine.
It is working fine in chrome on my windows 10 machine though.
It's a fun and entertaining game!
Update: I just tried again on my linux machine and it still doesn't work (strange).

Silly, frantic fun! There was definitely some skill to slinging those tax papers and we had a good time playing this!

Such a cool little physics game! The inspection mechanic also works nicely to prevent the "I will just jam up the exit" approach. Overall really nice!

Bog,
Loved the concept for this game. The humor was 10/10 really funny and enjoyable. The mechanics were also challenging enough to make the gameplay lots of fun.
The thing I would challenge you to do is sound for more parts in the game. I know you mentioned it would be hard without making it sound spammy but maybe there is a solution somewhere in there?
Great work :D

Fun game, great balance of being chaotic but also feeling high-skill at the same time!

Chaotic and fun!!

I don't have time to play every game, but I saw your game on Twitch. It's looks very polished and well done overall. The music is thematically fitting and the basic color-coordination is very engaging and intuitive. Very well done!

Smooth mechanics used really well, easy to learn hard to master. Also really funny! An all round great submission! My terrible score.. I won't share what the room looked like :')

Clicking on the forms works for a split second, but almost immediately both the character and the forms fly off the screen. I tried in chromium and firefox.
