The Exploding Factory by doomshmuck

[raw]
made by doomshmuck for LD 40 (COMPO)

Due to time, I wasn't able to resolve screen resolution issues. Please play this at 1920 x 1080, as the other screen resolutions end up looking really weird!

FOR THE WEB BUILD: Please play in full-screen. Thanks!

You are the Employee of the Month at the local chocolate factory. But something has happened to the factory that makes it so that every time a new delivery is made, the factory starts moving faster! Pair that with some mischievous co-workers putting non-chocolate items on your conveyor belt, and you got a sticky situation! You must keep your honor and not let a SINGLE piece of food go to the floor. But to do so, you must eat anything you can't box up!

Pretty fun game! The difficulty really ramps up quickly though, it would be nice if it got harder at a more manageable rate.

Nice game! It was fun and the music was good. Matched the theme too. Good work!

Super fun. Feel like it ramps up in difficulty a little too quickly, though. It was totally manageable and then suddenly it was an unbroken line.

Matches the theme.
But visual polish is lacking

Very good match for the theme. I felt that the game did ramp up very quickly. For a while, I was letting apples and decaf go by while boxing donuts and chocolate and was doing fine. Then, all of a sudden, there were tons of items on the belt, and I could no longer keep up. I did like the music as well.

Would be fun to have an ultimate objective, like a target score. That would be a satisfying reward for the player and a reason to try and play it again.

The pace increased quite quickly and it quickly entered panic mode for me but somehow trying to keep the coffees on the belt to slow it down. I only reached about 150 and the "playability "of it lasted a few rounds for me. The smooth scrolling of the belt made me motion sick but I wouldn't worry about that because now days a lot of games have that effect on me =) There were some UI issues when starting the browser version in compact mode so you had to go to full screen to see the text. Also, the visual sorting of the first box placed it behind the belt but as new boxes came they sorted correctly.

Pretty interesting game! And almost unfairly difficult! It gets to a point where you cannot chuck away chocolates and doughnuts fast enough to keep Pacman slim and beautiful, and positive buffs are few and far in between... Not necessarily a bad thing, though! Die fast, play fast! But yeah, you might want to fix the issues on scaling, I couldn't play it on my other computer with a square-ish monitor. All in all, good job!
