This was really cool!

I had wanted to do some sort of TV assembly line game at first for mine, but I couldn't figure out any good system for what that would be. But sorting TVs was the perfect idea.

Biggest issue I had with the game was just simply that trying to put the TV on the accept conveyor belt was very difficult at times. The TV would usually bounce off in most cases, and then I would have to chase it down and try and put it on again. But by the time I could pick it back up, it'd be all staticy. I'm guessing it might have to do with how the physics of how the TV is moving. I ended up basically just standing right in front of the conveyor belt that gave the TV's and catching them right off the line. I could usually see at some point while it tumbled if the screen was broken or not, and I was able to move real fast that way. So my guess would be that catching the TV doesn't reset/nullify the physics forces, and then putting it on the accept conveyor tried to resume the tumble it was doing before I caught it while also applying the new converyor belt physics? Or maybe the bounciness of putting it on the conveyor belt was fully intended and I'm just barking up the wrong tree here.

Either way I really enjoyed it! I wasn't able to reach a full ending, I kept having a heart attack on the third day. But definitely an awesome submission! Great job!

thanks, i really appreciate your time
well yeah, using rigid bodies was weird decision on my part, but once all the bugs and obviousness of my mistakes started surfacing it was too late and i had other things on my plate.
you guess absolutely right, when player holds tv all physics is paused, and when it put back on conveyor physics resumed, and even though i zero out the velocity some jank remain. but as i said too much on my plate and i also decided this jank was kinda fun.
heart attack, yeah, i needed to make it more obvious i thought of adding number of BPM but than thought it would break immersion. emersion my @ss if the game is unplayable >.< so, here is the jist of it: base bpm 80, each time static appear +30bpm, each second -5bpm, static will start appearing after you grab the tv, so you can listen to voice and "dont pick it up".
You really should try day 3 again, the 6 min wait (each day is 2 min) is worth the grand finale of cursed ending.
