Totally Silly Forklift Simulator is our second game jam submission as a team, and the second that we actually playtested. As It's name says, this game is a full serious forklift simulation at an unspecified company, where you have to collect all the items that you need, wrap them up and deliver in time.

Really nice game! Been my favourite so far

This is a great idea and great execution! The controls of the forklift work really well, without being too easy. The physics interactions worked exactly how I imagined it would as well making it not too difficult. The game explains itself as well pretty simply which I really liked, and a lot of LD games tend to forget to do. Would have been great to have some sound effects, or even a little music but you cant do it all. Its safe to say I am not forklift certified.

Sorry, I forget that I had to publish it on itch.io. Now it is public.

Controls are intuitive, this would be a good prototype for something really fun.

I love the physics of this game, it's super fun, but it's a bit hard

I got it DL and found it to be fun. I have a better understanding of why forklifts steer from the rear now!

Did I succeed to get even one box? No! Did I have fun? Oh definitely!

What an unforgiving game! I created a mess in the storage, the product were flying all over the place, not of the packages got delivered, and I enjoyed it a lot :)

Loved the instructions on the walls, it was helping a lot. Only one above table probably should say something like "put ordered products and box here to assemble" or sth like this

Wow, so realistic game!
Awesome physics, but with some sounds and music it will be more better.
Good job!

Man that forklift is difficult to control, but nonetheless I still had a blast trying to play!

The concept is super unique and random but I love random! About halfway through playing I started chuckling to myself. Awesome game!

pretty hard but thats part for the course with physics based games, I do have to give props to the use of raising the lift with r, that one mechanic really made it worth playing more than any other physics based game. I felt as if every mistake was my own and it didnt feel like i was fighting the controls or game mechanics, the pallets made it clear and simple to pick up the object but still posed enough of a challenge to do it fast as to not get boring. good job!

Very silly, and incredibly hard. I would love to see someone try to speed run this!

Everyone saying it's so realistic while it's literally unplayable. NO ONE IS DRIVING the forklift :laughing:
The game is really nice and smooth, great design and it works exactly as expected. Only one things, for those with weird mouse, maybe just a setting screen to adjust sensitivity :pray: I made some heavy 720° every times i forgot to do micro movement with it.

Great entry for the jam, it seems to be so much work to me. In so little time. Great job !

Loved this one! The controls and physics are super smooth, even in the web build. I love the good quality models, fun objectives, and great mix of playability versus the level of challenge. Great work on adding so much polish in one short jam!

The Unity physics is one funny component to work with :D My favorite thing to do in this game is to deliver a pallet without a package. It's just so ridiculous! xD It makes me wonder about the potential of the concept and how far it could be taken. I also want to express my gratitude for explanation on the walls, because for me, a slowpoke, it was very helpful and made a playthroug so much smoother. Great job to the team for making such a silly and enjoyable experience!

Very hard to control, but that just adds to the goofyness of a sim type game. All in all, I think this game has a lot of potential! Great job on releasing!

If only the music was really great, but overall not bad)

wow, it so clean and feels good playing this, I've worked in warehouse a few years ago so maybe that's why I feel good playing it :D But yea, models and physics works perfectly as it supposed to. You've follow on itch.io from me, hope you'll make more games like this one :)

On the one hand I now know what it's like to be a forklift driver, on the other hand one of my pallets decided to freak out and my package got stuck under the table, so I will never forgive this game. Other than that though, the game really felt complete and polished overall, so great job!

Yes, that's good. The forklift sometimes exhibits telekinesis and moves objects from a distance. But overall, it's exciting! It's enjoyable to play with.

Original and fun! The visual are or stunning but efficient, and even if the tutorial is a little "brut" it's normal on a tight schedule to have this kind of thing. The control and physics are what matter and here, it work perfectly! I wanted to make most of my time and try speed up but making more mayem in return! A really cool game overall who make me chuckle and really, is just fun!

Love it. It was rather difficult but also so rewarding when you got your package delivered. Really like the idea. :smiley: A forklift would be also a good addition to our own game. :smile:

Overall it's quite good, very polished and funny to control. I had a bit hard time reading instructions, but once I got it - it worked.

The controls were a bit rough, and there was no way (or I didn't know about) to reset box when dropped/flipped/etc.

Cool and fun game though!

Just played your game and absolutely loved it! The high-quality models, intuitive gameplay, and smooth graphics and controls really impressed me. Great job!

Hey, nice entry! I like the graphics and mechanics, could be better with sound effects, I have some problems with collisions in the table of packaging but I have fun, great work!

Really impressive physics and graphics for a game jam game!

Nice but the camera is too fast for me, the arts are really impressive, it lacks a bit of sound effects and music but it's a good entry.
