Quite creative and it is impressive that you managed to make a leader board system. Great job.

A littel bit hard but still quite fun it took me a lot of time to get that you need to print the weigth... ups ._.

Cute game! The wind was a bit of a pain, but it was really fun overall. It feels really polished, I particularly like printing the receipt and sticking it on the fruit as submitting your score. Nice work!

Well played. Playtesting this felt a little easy at the time, that's why I invented wind for levels 2 and 3. But you are right it kinda sucks as a mechanic. Even though wind is generated equally for each run it removes part of the "skill" aspect of the game.

Good scores though! It took me a while to get this heavy! (my scores are not included in the histogram though)
And thanks for playing the windows version! <3

An interesting challenge; I liked the concept and the interpretation of the theme.

It wasn't always clear to me where some things' colliders were. E.g. the grapes' little stem doesn't seem to collide with things, but when I try to put grapes into the triangle two of them next to each other forms (i.e. v in ^^), it doesn't slot in perfectly like it looks like it will. And the carrot's stem does seem to collide. I.e. maybe this should have been a bit clearer?

I like the concept, I just think I couldn't get the hang of the ticket printer. I printed it then put it on the scale and my score is uploaded?

Mmmmm cheese tower


Gameplay is nice and fluid and surprisingly challenging after a while.

Looks and feels really great. Amazing sound design with the most satisfying Plop every time you drop an Item. It gets very challenging really fast, I love it!

Submitted

Very nice!

I like the implementation of the theme. Challenging, and printing the result was also a great dopamine hit.

Well done :)

Really nice! I only wish I could play it more fully in browser but i understand why i cant

Developer (1 edit)

The browser version does not post the score into the histogram for each level. This way you can compete with other players and they can compete with you. (currently I am the backend, but im working on automating the process...)

Currently only the windows version supports the score submission to the leader boards.

You surely can play the Web Version, but do yourself (and me ^^) a favour and experience the full game on device.
