Shipload by TiByte

[raw]
made by TiByte for LD34 (JAM)
Welcome to Shipload,

you must not cause a mess or mishap.
this game contains:
two buttons, A and D, to add or remove containers from a ship.
while the speed of the incoming ships grows, you have to fill them up to the right amount of cargo.

This game was made in HTML5/Javascript with Pixi.js and Howler.js, more about that on our GitHub page. We hope you enjoy our game.


Shameless Plug:

The MacOSX Download is a ".rar" archive, because I really struggled with uploading the ".app" to a server so that a client Mac would still accept the file. If anyone has any input on how to do that better, you're welcome to tell me.

Cooleo, I see this making into mobile easily. My wife would have a great time with it. I just felt it was a bit too zoomed-in.

It would be funnier if it was a little bit more speeded, thankfully, the joyful music prevented me to fall asleep on my keyboard, so I can enjoy the pretty drawings. :P

Nice game with an interesting concept. It gets challenging very fast, especially with 12 containers. I missed sometimes the switch to a new number of containers, so maybe this could be done more prominently.

Very simple game that's made challenging by the speed. Good use of two button controls. It seemed like there would be a leaderboard somewhere but I didn't see it. Is there one?

@doltle, we're working on one, we're collecting the data already, but we haven't found the time yet to implement a nice looking leaderboard in the game.

I must admit I'm not very fast at counting, but the game is nonetheless elegant!

Fun game! At first I didn't realize the number of containers that the ship should carry changes when progressing, but once I realized it I had fun

I actually really like this. Very simple, but the ever increasing speed and keeping up with counting the trailers and keeping up with the correct amount is really fun. I liked that the music gets faster and faster too. I think it needs more indication of which stack on the ship is the 'current' one, more than just the crane position, like an arrow or something. Just to make things a bit easier to track.

Nice game, and maybe good for teaching children to calculate. I got to 100+ containers, and was a little disappointed that there was still no "story".
