"ummm, maybe the wheel is broken" ... it must be as I got absolute nothing done in time!  XD Very well done!

Same, same :D

I feel like this embodies the theme perfectly! The presentation was fantastic, the game-feel was great, the sound effects and everything was awesome.

Just awesome!

Submitted

Very nice game! We also started with the idea of having multiple characters but randomly choosing which character you control, but ended up with a very different game. It's nice to see how similar ideas can end up in completely different directions!

Submitted

Very nicely made! This is really fantastic - just wanted to let you know though that if your carrying a box while standing on the conveyer belt (the goal one) and then you switch who you control, then that character becomes forever stuck under the box when you control them again.

Very good game! It's seems difficult to play at the start but then you realize how level design supports you to plan simple but effective patterns of actions it gets really fun! Then you know how to use your dudes it's stop being uncontrollable, which is really interesting. And the visuals! It looks adorable and sound pretty nice. One of my favorites on this jam!

Nicely executed game! Try setting your itch settings to allow full screen next time :) I found the random nature of the wheel a bit frustrating and would have preferred a predictable pattern between the characters, but I see that the randomness makes it more out of control. Well done regardless!

Very fun game with minimal glitches! I played in browser first, but the game went to black after failing level 2, meaning I had to refresh the page to play again from level 1. The downloaded version did not have this issue. Your level design is good! I like how I had to figure out strategic positions to put all the characters. My biggest complaint is that the current character is still part of the wheel selection. There were some moments where I had planned ahead by putting everyone in position, but the wheel kept giving me the same character over and over, wasting up to 5 or 6 seconds. If the character you are currently playing as was eliminated from the wheel, I think that would solve this issue. Lots of fun! Five stars.

Really great idea, implementation and polish. The art looks great and the gameplay is addictive. I ran into an issue on the second level where I failed 3 times and it just went black. That's gotta be the first time I've played a game so much that IT got sick of ME :')

Great job on this ^^

Submitted

This game has solid platform physics, great concept, and great visual and audio assets. The one thing I would  can be frustrating is when another worker is stuck on the main conveyor belt, but otherwise very nice job!

Submitted

Once you get the hang of it, its fun trying to balance team placement in order to beat the clock!

Submitted

Solid game, cool graphics. Quite frustrating a times, but really fun anyways. Great game!

Submitted

Fun and fitting game with exceptional graphics!

Submitted

You will not believe me, but I swear to God I had this same idea - although I didn't run with it (Forcing the character change upon the player). However, your art, execution & everything is just amazing! I can't believe this was just made in 48 hours. Hats off to you mate!

Submitted

Very cute graphics and interesting mechanics!

The controls are a bit weird, though.

Submitted

Loved how snappy and colourful it is! Hard to control, but that's to be expected!!

Submitted

Super cool concept!

I did find it a touch hard to grab the boxes without pushing them so a little bit more leeway on the range to pick up boxes would go a long way, (unless, of course that was to go with the theme)

The extra little layer of positioning the characters for optimal box grabbing made this one really fun for me

Submitted

One of the better games for the jam but there is a LOT of bugs and sometimes after a game over the screen goes black which makes me have to start over, pretty annoying

Submitted

Very charming "strategic nap action!" Picking where to doze off is as important as getting boxes in. Love the presentation and the mechanics. So awesome!

Submitted

I didn't understand what was happening at first, but got the hang of it pretty soon. At first, I didn't find the mechanic very interesting, but when I proceeded to the second level things started to come together a lot more. Neat concept, beautiful execution.

I love the concept! But I think it gets a bit boring when you can just do the same strategy with the same box that keeps regenerating every time. I think it would be more interesting if each character had a different ability, and the game built up to having so many character rotations level by level (you start with one, then add another with a different ability, then a third with a different ability, etc...) For me, this would have made more puzzl-y and engaging.

Great graphics and sound effects, and great concept :)
