A super simple and pretty fun little game. I especially like the games visuals and the atmosphere. The gameplay could perhaps have been more complex, but it's okay the way it is. Overall a good jam game. Well done.

Overall a nice little game. I like the setting with the truck in the door - it was really moody. The way the code was highlighted was really cool; plus also that the same box had same code it helped. One improvement idea with bigger boxes I could not see where I'm going :smile: Especially cool with the audio recording - it really added a lot to the athmosphere.

+ I like throwing the packages, I don;t know who would want to left click to place them down.
+ It seemed that for one delivery the boxes were missing, I needed to supply 3 types and I had 3 types drop, just one of them wasn't the one needed.
+ it was a bit awkward with the larger, not square packages, it would be cool to be able to throw the one that don;t fit in the doors sideways.

Setting with the truck was cool, felt good enough to carry boxes. Biggest point for me was that at some point numbers on boxes changed / were not consistent with their shape. Could also add some visible time pressure. Overall nice one, good job!

Definitely a nightmare.

There is a fine line between work and play.. and you sir.. are riding it.

Art is made to make you feel things... and I'd say you've hit your mark.
Nice job!
Completing a level is a bitter sweet experience.
I felt good about the work I had done, but in the back of my mind I dreaded what the next level would bring.

A little barebones, but fun. First person physics is always a hoot. The art that's there conveys an impressive amount of warehouse work drudgery. Would love to see it expanded with some more features: time pressure, more uniquely identifiable box shapes (and colours).

Actually feels like a nightmare, but weirdly satisfying. Well done.

It is quite enjoying to chuck boxes into the truck. I also found that when I was searching for a box number I would always say "oh that number does match that box". I am not sure how you did that but well done!

Great graphics, solid sound effects (it sounded like I was really dropping boxes) and a cool atmosphere.

Really enjoyed throwing the boxes around the physics felt just right. Also the truck absolutely speeding in and out of the loading bay was cool to watch.

This is the second game I've played for the Dare which has tricked me into doing a job for a little while - and I didn't realise it until afterwards so I was really engaged while playing.

I'm not sure if I would have liked music or not.. I kind of liked the chill lonely atmosphere loading boxes in a quiet room.

The daily bread of a worker in a warehouse. It is not possible to be more realistic than that. You really nailed that feeling :laughing:

I like the physical aspect of moving boxes around. Finding the right box in the pile of packages feels natural. Although the 'game'-side runs a bit short.

When I have already resigned myself to work for the next few hours, the alarm was heard. I thought it was my real alarm clock, which has the exact same wake-up sound! I was really fooled by that. Good job!

Here's my score:

Ok, the Q's I ask myself: is that a nightmare; why can't I deliver myself? A nightmare would be to deliver myself, actually, when everything is wrong but there's a number on me.

This game is simple but fun, I thought it would get boring quickly but it didn't! the challenge of remembering what boxes I sent and what I need to send kept me going for a while, I noticed some text when the truck reaches the end of the path but couldn't read it, tried my best to glitch into the other side but couldn't I even build a tower of boxes and climbed above the truck but all I got is the text "Trans right", I expected something cool or even a jumpscare :cry:, stacking boxes reminded me of the old day with half life 2 lol, anyway the game is simple but I had fun!
