Interesting and fun game! I also liked the art. I had situations where a package is stuck in the air (when a package is destroyed under it). Except that, good job!

This is a very unique idea! It is fun, but quite challenging: one thing that makes it a bit hard is that you can be doing very well and then suddenly you let through a few bad packages and you loose everything all of a sudden. The start-up text is a little bit long, but I appreciated the humour :)
Really amazing game, very smooth gameplay, awesome sound design, really good graphics, nice main character. Loved it! With alot of humour!

Nice game! I like this simple style of aesthetics that works very well. I'v also like the text at start to explain you how the game works with a little humor! :) (be careful, might be too long some some people). Really good job! Keep creating games!
Audio amazing. Movement great. Visual Cute. Gameplay: A little to much text at beginning, at some point I just let the game play itself and when I got red I destroy everything and somehow got my % back. This game has amazing potential with some easy tutorials at beginning.
What a fun little game! I really liked the movement controls and how the flying felt really realistic. I was a little confused at first since the text based tutorial was quite hard to follow, but I actually thought you did a great job of explaining it in an image form in the description! Had fun playing :) Also love the jingle, very calm!
A good entry !! And very impressive for your first completed game jam !!
I had a bit of trouble really understanding everything that was going on, with the robot dysfunctionning and all but...yeah, it was fun !
Overall a really solid entry! The music and sounds were cute, the artwork was pleasing to look at, and the general idea of how you interpreted climbing was intuitive. The only thing I'd say is that it might help to put pictures of the boxes during the intro text at the beginning, or at least have the words matching the colors. It was a bit difficult to get a grasp of the game's concept with the wall of text.
Fun game, although it did take me a while to figure it out at first. Really love the graphics. I think it could be better if the screen was bigger or if the packages fell slower so that you could have more time to react
Really cute! A little bit messy sometimes but i think it's intended to be like that!
The aesthetics for this game are really great and I like the witty dialogue at the beginning but there are several problems with the gameplay. Although I like the dialogue, it's also an information overload. The keywords being in all caps helps a little but it really didn't help me understand the game much at all. I feel like the game could benefit from a short tutorial just to explain the basic mechanics.
Furthermore, while I like how out of control the game feels, I don't like how little of an impact I seem to have by flying around. Boxes freezing randomly is extremely frustrating and often I was left with a couple of blue box towers that I could do absolutely nothing about because they were fixed in place which wasn't a good feeling. The box physics are fun but also glitchy and it's possible to glitch boxes through the bottom of the platform by pushing down on it. If several red boxes fall down at once there's very little you can do about them just annihilating most of the boxes on the platform.
The key with games like these is to create a situation that feels chaotic and out of your control but still fair. Freezing boxes and the overwhelming randomness just makes you feel like you have no impact whatsoever and good money scores often feel more down to luck than anything.
Overall, it's a great idea presented in a unique and charming way, but the execution could use a lot of work. Regardless, this is a pretty solid entry considering this is your first completed jam and I loathe to admit that I did a lot worse my first time lol. Nice job.
Loved the game. Only one thing that I saw that seemed to be an bug.
If you hold an package for long enough it can get locked in midair. I would suggest maybe no locking. Or just make it so it has to be on the platform/other Blocks that are locked.
Yeah that freezing in the air gave me a headache over the weekend. I added a little funny note in the intro about how packages freeze, and I experimented with a few ways of making them drop but couldn’t find any that felt satisfying, so I just left it. I agree with you though, that’s definitely not ideal. Thank you for playing and the suggestion!
