Your game has the best subtle graphics for this game jam; boxing/unboxing, box drops, box cart movement, ect. It results in a very smooth and fluid gameplay. Although this appears like a snake arcade game, it feels more like a puzzle and strategy game. This is a freshening unique mix! Nicely done!

Really interesting concept and the graphics are great!

This game was a big surprise, the concept is original, the animations and 3D models were very beautiful on PSP. The game is challenging and fun in the right measure, congratulations!

Glad you liked it!

I have an update in the works that I'll release when voting ends which is meant to make it easier to understand the game. Among other tweaks, edges are highlighted red/green based on whether they're protected or not. Even if you already understand the game, I've found that small change makes it much easier to play.

I really love the art concept of this game, all the 3D assets fits perfect with the game's theme, also It's a little difficult to understand what does the player needs to do, but after a couple of tries it is fun. Actually I didn't get a better note than F lmao. Good work mate!

I'm kinda burned out now lol, so I'll just add a quick description of wtf to do (make sure you read the tutorial in the screenshots!)

  • First of all, the game is hard as hell, and partially RNG based. It's kind of like blackjack.
  • Your goal is to pack 50 Kg of items onto the green cart on the right side of the screen. Every white box is 1 Kg
  • The closer you get to 50 Kg, the better your final grade. A perfect 50 gets you an S grade!
  • You generate packing peanuts by growing and eating yourself.
  • Your goal is to leave every exposed edge of the white boxes touching a packing peanut block before you close the box
  • If you mess up, you can use tetris mechanics to clear space, but if you get stuck then your only option is to close the box and move on to the next one

And if you're wondering what the glitch is, you should read the background story in the itch page/readme. I wanted to implement that as a cinematic, but there was no time...

Developer

Also, there's no timer or anything. You control when items spawn (but the drops are random), and you're only rated based on how many white blocks you protected with a packing peanut.

Developer

And finally, if you get stuck, you can always hold Triangle to move on to the next box!
