How does the game fit the theme?
When packing a parachute, NOTHING CAN GO WRONG!!

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
All code was originally by me besides some shaders, I did get some premade cc0 assets, but I credited most if not all of them, and i did make assets myself as well such as all of the branding, the cotton and other various small things.

This was very fun, first time my hand was stuck slapping the mud in one spot, but second try seemed to work fine. very unique idea and play on the theme!

Very nice game idea!

Nice idea but controls are sometimes laggy and I could not build any parachutes and I could not understand why.

Nice mini games, controls are a bit finicky, as the hand game didn't work on my first 2 tries, but it worked on the third run. When it did work though, the game seemed fun. Well done

Developer

thank you!

I had some trouble at first, but could sort it out with practice. I liked it! Good job

Nice game! It took me a while to get used to the controls but after my first run, it was pretty easy to play through multiple times. Great work!

Very creative angle! Loved the mini-games and felt quite motivated to improve my time again and again. I think my final was around 40s but the guy broke his legs 😅 The gameplay was very smooth and felt polished.

Great job! Had a lot of fun :)

A game about packing a parachute, but starting with collecting cotton was totally unexpected and really fun!! It’s also perfectly in line with the theme.

Nice mini-game game, it's one of the things i always think of when doing a game jam but for one thing or another i never follow through! Favorite minigame is the worms one, while the straps one i had a little confusion on figuring it out :D

One of the best interpretations of the theme. Funny enough i actually worked with the Air Force parachute packers when I was in the military. They take their jobs sooo seriously for this exact reason. Fun gameplay and a great idea. Glad i played!

Dude thats actually so cool! I'm sure I didn't get the actual packing process similar haha, but thats super cool that you got to work with them. Thank you so much!

There's some issues, when exiting a minigame, with look around. Overall great take on the theme!
Got a time of 1:55

Had some issues with looking around, I wasn't able to until I completed the 3 mini games for the first time. Could not tell you why. Not sure if you can control the guy at the end, but I landed and broke my legs. Biggest lesson I learned... you don't want me packing your chute haha.

The minigame idea is really fun! Only advice would be some more audio maybe, but cool game! Good job!

Developer

Yeah, some more audio definitely would have been a lot better, I was on a time crunch haha. It would have been way more fleshed out if I put more time in that though. Thank you for playing!

Fun minigames! My best time was 1min4sec!

Couple of times my mouse input bugged and got stuck

Developer

Thats good dude! What ending did you get? Yeah, the mouse on the hand game was very messed up, and it was a very hard problem to fix, I wish I could have. I absolutely love your game btw.
