It seems the pickup mechanic is a bit buggy, which is unfortunate because I was really impressed by the scenery of the game. The conveyor belt is also moving really fast, which ended my games early every run.

Developer

We are working to fix those issues, but we're glad you found enjoyment in the game as it stands now!

First of all very difficult. LOVED the art style and you pulled of the pixel art 2.5d style very well! Really enjoyed it but sadly couldn't complete it.

Developer

Thank you for playing it! Sorry to hear it was a bit difficult we didn't have too much time to work on balance, but we are happy you enjoyed it!

i liked the 2.5d art style. the game was hard to play, i was losing so much money because the boxes keep coming and i didn't know how to stop them, the pickup mechanic would also break (i think its because you can pickup two items and the game stops detecting the first item picked up) but it made the game hard to play. The idea is good i think that if those issues are fixed the game would be fun and easy, otherwise i like the aesthetics and art. 

Developer

Thank you for playing! We are aware of the bugs, but unfortunately couldn't get everything worked out in time. That being said, I'm glad you see the potential ideas we had laid out. Maybe after the jam we'll iron out the bugs and get it up and running as intended. Glad you enjoyed!

Really cool game idea and i liked the game art, music and it was really fun to try jugeling around all the different tasks but there was a bug that i couldn't grab an item or place it somewhere so I couldn't play for long, also there can be a bit more indication on stuff like the bomb that kills you because i didn;t notice it the first time and the game just ended so i thought you shouldn't burn the metal and spend too much time ppreventing the metal from going to the fire, other than that really cool game!

Developer

Thank you for playing! Yeah we definitely shouldn't have the metal be a part of the score, but alas we weren't able to test as much as we may have wanted to. But I am glad you enjoyed the general aesthetics and game idea!
