Deliver the orders shown at the bottom, but be careful to not drop the ones not wanted at the moment (chart shown at the bottom).
Drop a package to the next belt by pressing Z or X when over the package.
It may not be what you got right now, so there are two ways to correct that: - Combine some packages by dropping them on each other; which ones combine to others is shown up top. - Wait until a new set of orders arrives (when the yellow bar in the bottom runs out).
Made within a single day (over about a single 15 to 16 hour stretch).
Great effort in such a short amount of time. I was a bit confused at first, but it was fine once I got used to how the game plays out. At times challenging too. Great job!
I went into this completely blind and couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do. Once I stepped back and read the controls, the game is actually pretty fun and addictive! But I still think some of the information conveyance needs touching up. Like, I thought combining colours to make new ones was pretty neat, but why does red and green make blue? I think it would be more intuitive if you started with red, blue, and yellow and made complementary colours from there.
It took me a moment to figure out what I was doing - it wasn't immediately obvious to me that the green symbols were meant to be ticks saying "Boxes with this symbol are okay". It could perhaps have used an in-game tutorial screen to act as a visual aid. Once I got the hang of it, though, it was a lot of fun. It's easy to miss when the change occurs and drop a box a second too late, but trying to keep track of the boxes *and* the objectives is where the difficulty stems from, so that's fine.
It's always great to see PICO-8 entries, and this is a very enjoyable one. Good job!
The game is really not easy, but that doesn't mean it's bad. The idea is really nice and I like the graphics. After getting used to the mechanics it is made very clear what the goal is.
It was a bit confusing at first but I soon got the hang of it. It all seems to work as intended and feels quite well rounded. It was a bit of a struggle to manage everything so it was more intense than fun to play. Considering the time you had this is a great accomplishment.
Loved this! Feels like a classic action puzzle, kind of like bubble bobble. It was a lot of fun, and felt really polished and nice. Impressive work for 15 hours! 😁
This is really fun! Simple but well-polished. I noticed that I didn't find myself doing the combining very often---I ended up finding it easier to just deliver the base colors really quickly to stack up points.
Fun yet challenging game! I was too busy delivering packages so I couldn't be bothered with combining. The only time I did is when all packages were forbidden so I spent my time combining to see how it works.
Very good compo entry. It's REALLY confusing at first (at least was for me), struggled with understanding I could move the thing that selects which package to move. Also confused with difference between Z and X until I remembered this was PICO-8 and thus it doesn't matter which one you use (I think). Obviously could be more polished but given that this was a Compo entry I'd say good game.
