Impressive! Everything about this game is great. The idea is totally unique. The mechanics escalate in difficulty in an intuitive way. Despite being a bit of a bizarre concept and perhaps a bit complex, it is perfectly understood as soon as you play.
Graphically it is simply spectacular. It is impressive what you have done. It is super polished and designed with great taste. My favorite part is the dynamic expressions and animations of the characters at the top left. You even made the music!
One of my favorite games of all the ones I've rated so far, congratulations!
Dear mr. Núñez,
On behalf of the FU management we would like to thank you for your kind words. Although we know you are contractually obligated to only speak positively about Friendly Unicorn Inc. we still appreciate the gesture. However, your use of the word "bizarre" to describe our product is an OUTRAGEOUS violation of article 26.C of the game's terms and conditions and will be met with a $1,400,000 fine. Payment is due in 36 hours and triples every 6 hours past the deadline.
Thank you for playing and have a nice day!
Tony Beloni, Legal Team FU

wow, a really cool idea! like it
It's such a fun idea to be on the other side of the lootbox. The game's visuals are also very good. Good job!
NICE! I liked the references, was a good goofy time. The smoke effect made it a bit difficult to see what was going on but otherwise had a blast.
Also, good job on character design!
Really cool and timely concept. All the characters were really fun, and I liked how the challenge ramped up with multitple loot boxes. I felt that the smoke when you brake really obscured the rewards (that may be intentional, but I found it a bit frustrating). Great job!
What a great game! I love the face cams!
The only problem I had is that my PC is crap so I had a low frame rate and a hard time predicting when the loot boxes slow down. But that won't affect my rating!
I can do 6 lot boxes too! I promise! Pls let me do that!
Dear former loot box operator,
Your eagerness to work has been noted. Although we do not have the budget to hire more operators at the moment, we do have an opening for an unpaid internship. You'll be in charge of operating 15 loot boxes and personally responsible for any financial loss caused by frustrated or satisfied gamers. Please sign the dotted line to start your internship:

Does Friendly Unicorn spy on the players of their games webcams just to revel in their suffering?
Jokes aside, good work! The animation and music are great, and I really like the UI-design being a computer screen. Very unique gameplay too, I wasn't able to make it past "whale," but it was a decently challenging balance between frustration and making money.
Dear Dorncog,
For failing to provide proper support to the customer named "Whale" we have decided to nullify your contract as a lootbox operator, effective immediately. As the defaults of the contract specified (in the small font down at the very bottom of the contract), all salary you received over the past months will be transferred back to FU Inc. We thank you for having been a part of our family and wish you luck on your next endeavor.
Sincerely,
Heinz Reinzich

Aha! Is that how they design loot boxes nowadays?!? For real that was great, the some of the dialogue is funny as hell!
Dear fruit,
No matter how much you flatter us, you will not get re-hired.

Great to finally be on the side controlling the lootboxes! I played a lot of FIFA back in my day, so I felt a very (somewhat scary) connection to the characters falling backwards in agony. Amazing what you guys did in 48 hours. Music was a bop.
To GrailSyrt:
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The music department has henceforth been fired since we don't want our employees dancing during WORKING HOURS. Outrageous.
If you have any other feedback on how to improve our lootboxes please do send them to Kelly from marketing. You seem to have the right spirit!

Interesting and funny concept, I loved the little reference to 'EA'.
I do feel like it's missing some form of progression or goal, I kind of lost interest sooner than I'd liked because of that.
Thank you for playing! Yeah... we agree. We focussed a little to much on polishing some stuff that didn't look quite right. We took a little to long with finishing up all the mechanics that were necessery for testing the game feel and balancing the progression. Thank you for the feedback :)
No problem! I loved the aesthethics (apart from the huge amount of smoke which made things a little less visible), so that time spent polishing is definitely noticeable :)
Very fun game ! The concept is cool, and there a really difficulty augmentation. Graphics, animation and sound is good. (I like give stick xD) Congrats to the team !
Thank you for playing! :)
We had a lot of fun concepting the different items!
This is amazing! I was smiling throughout the whole game, the concept is great and the execution too. You nailed it, well done! I love the reactions on the characters when you give them trash. The only thing that bothered me was the smoke covering the entire lootbox when braking, but everything else was great.
Thanks for playing! Yeah we had one friend playtest, and he had the same complaint. We thought it was a cool way of discouraging people from first braking a lot so the wheel would spin slowly. A cool dynamic way to let the player have a reason to not brake all the time. But I do agree that it didn't pan out the way we wanted to.
Nice game!
Thanks :D
10/10 gameplay, 10/10 visuals, 10/10 motivation to go see my therapist after all those corporate emails putting me through flashbacks
Thanks :D
Hope the flashbacks weren't to intense. Hope the flashbacks weren't as intense as the Akira meme haha
Overall Style and gameplay is great, good job !!
Thanks you so much :D
The artwork is on point, especially the reference to the overwatch loot boxes haha. Cool idea, I had no idea this is how loot boxes worked. Sometimes it felt like the lootboxes were spinning so fast my control of the breaks didn't really matter, especially when it would hide the the items. But the game was fun, really recreated the feeling of dread I associate with getting corporate emails 10/10
Writing the emails was the most fun part ^^ Thanks for playing!
Really great presentation and good fitting audio. The animations of players raging is such a nice touch and its pretty funny.
Thanks for the kind words :)
The animations were great, the gameplay was very entertaining, music and sound effects were amazing, overall loved it! For me that's a top 100 game here :D
Thank you, we really appreciate it! :D
I love the idea that someone is just watching you when you buy loot boxes and controlling what you get. I also literally laughed outloud at how funny the characters look. I would have liked if the break didn't create so much smoke, I couldn't really see what was going on. I also didn't feel very in control.
Thank you! We appreciate the feedback :D
Cool idea! I really dig the art.
Thank you! :D
