How does the game fit the theme?
The game is about sorting bags containing strange items from strange places we all know and love.
Your job is to make sure the bags end up at their correct strange place by looking at the contents of the bags.
There are 20 Bags and they each contain 4-5 items from game worlds such as Highrule, Shroomush Kingdom and CubeWorld! It's your job to send the bags to their correct destination, and the world most represented by items is where it should go!
For example, a bag containing 3 Highrule items but only 2 CubeWorld items, the destination is Highrule.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I've programmed everything and created assets using Unity ProBuilder to build the game scene.
Elizzium - Created additional suit cases and the majority of items in ProBuilder, also made the game banner.
JC Sounds https://jcsounds.itch.io/ - Sounds: UI, warning/approve and conveyor belt.

Fun idea - I liked it for a couple of bags -> there could be some catch to it to make it more interesting. Very nice visual style!
Thank you :)
very interesting take on the theme!! nice game, congrats!
Thank you!!
Oh I loved thsi game! The camera movement and the controls are dope.
I feel like I was playing a VR game tbh.
Using othe game references was neat specially for a jam that you have very little time but I think that this game would be a lot cooler with your own dimensions and objects and your own information to search for. Very good job nevertheless!
Thanks a lot, I appreciate the kind words :)
Love the papers please vibes. Great job.
Thank you!
Well polished game, smooth gameplay. But it becomes repetitive quick. I expected a twist or story of some sort but it never came.
Thank you for playing! That was my plan as well, wish I had more time. Glad you enjoyed it nonetheless!
Good idea mixing Papers, Please with baggage control. The only “bad” thing, which might just be me, is that I sometimes got confused with the objects.
Thanks for playing and for your input :)
Fun entry! Nice spin on the papers please style cross-referencing gameplay
My only thought was that it would be nice to have some indication of progress, like knowing you're on bag 13/20, but otherwise I enjoyed seeing all the little references throughout.
The anagram for the name was a nice touch!
Thank you and yes, I agree on the feedback!
I got a little bit confused by some items, I wasn't sure about some items, but after a while everything became clear. I second that adding time limit or unlockables would be interesting and would extend replayability, anyway fun experience!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
The screens were a bit too bright, making it hard to read.
Reminds me a bit of Papers Please.
Thanks for playing and the feedback :)
I enjoyed it for what it is, although I thought it got a bit boring if you only tend to do the correct sorting. I wish there was some scores, time limit or something to unlock as rewards.
The content of the game is based on popular games or game franchises but I suspect if someone with completely no knowledge of gaming in general would be quite confused with this one, haha.
The screen can feel a little difficult to read, especially on the set resolution on the game page (I had to full screen the game to read it properly).
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it nonetheless :) and you're right, I agree that sorting correctly had more things going on, the plans were there but the time was not. Thanks for your insights!
I loved this
I loved that there were error messages for every thing "I am a complete menace and I will never change"
Really nice concept and a fun game to play (and be chaotic )
Good job!
Thanks for the kind words :) I'm super glad you enjoyed those small messages I put in :D
interesting game, reminds me about my job.
P.S. - I have an ergophobia:(
Thanks, and sorry to hear that. And you taught me a new word!
Very fun game! Really enjoyed some of the names for the owners of the bags, and although it was repetitive I liked that!! Loved some of the world models and the hints were super handy if I couldn't figure out what world they were meant to be from (I got confused by the buttons on stand and power up screens when I first played)
Great job!
Thank you so much :) I'm glad you enjoyed it
cool game
Thank you!
Very coolio! Love this concept as well as the aesthetics! You should try out our game as well!
Thanks a lot :) Will do!
Very cute and cool concept. I really like it.
Thank you! :)
A little puzzle about sorting things. I really liked it, at first I didn't understand what to do with mixed things from different worlds, but then I realized.
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you figured it out and GG :)
This game tickles my braincells a lot. This would be a lovely game with more difficult stagesif there was more time. I love the game mentions. Solid game! gg
Thank you! I agree, and I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
once you start to get into the flow of things it gets really fun. this is a unique take on the theme - nice game!
Thanks for the kind words :)
Strangely addictive. After a while you get into the flow and not needing to check the world info every time made me feel like a professional. The name being an anagram is a cool touch too.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
