Funny game, love the comments on the clouds

Nice game, I like how the concept, art, and gameplay all feel a bit silly in a cohesive way. The controls were maybe a bit overtuned- I'm sure this was intentional but it made going for a top score sometimes frustrating. But overall the game is fun and I'm impressed at the amount of levels.

I love this entry! And after playing several levels I now understand why there are videos of delivery/postal workers chucking and slamming packages :laughing:. The Circle/gear packages were a great idea it made for some unique difficulty. Great entry!

- Nice quirky game with interesting art
- I like the physics and having everything interact with each other and the cows liked to spin a lot. Moving objects seemed to apply a lot of force, a bit annoying but it worked well with the object losing (off screen) refund mechanic.
- I did the easy levels which were fine, then tried the insane ones but everything just kept bouncing, truly insane.

Hilarious game; I love it! The story/info text between levels introducing new mechanics was fantastic, and the chaotic spin on the "fit physics objects into a small space" formula made for a lot of fun. Nice work! :]

Very humorous, I loved the skeleton for the insanity difficulty. The physics were touchy but it worked in that panicking caused a disaster which added to the humor. The objects respawning if they go off-screen did a good job of making it feel fair. Great job!

PACKTACULAR GAME! really cool concept and well implemented. nice graphics, the physics were challenging but i guess it was meant to be to make the game harder. good job!

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I uploaded my game to itch.io too, if you want to play an HTML5 version of it, you can here: https://ralian.itch.io/pactory

The itch.io version I uploaded today is identical to the one I uploaded here yesterday, but if you are rating the game, stick to the compo rules and run the version I uploaded here yesterday.

Playing on all four difficulty levels left me with a deep sense of frustration and rage. 10/10

The physics on this thing are insane lol I'm guessing that was intentional to add to make things a bit more difficult and humorous. Nice job!

I hope the cows and horses didn't get injured.

My strategy was throwing all off the items off the screen simultaneously and seeing them glitch into one mess. 😁 It works well if you're ~~lucky~~ skillful enough.

Overall, a funny, even though a bit annoying game. Great job!

@txomin Happy to have angered you!
@alec Thanks, I am quite proud of how the grabbing physics turned out, since I scripted all that myself! Some objects are jankier than others, I think scaled objects (esp. cows) are handled poorly
@woona I like your strategy, but I will never hire you to move anything of mine!!!

Fun game! I like how there's difficulty settings, which a lot of jam games lack.

I love tetris and this feels kind of like a physics version of that, really cool! I like it!

The clouds caught me off guard multiple times! I also really enjoyed packing the big dalmatians. Well done!

This is a very traditional, I would even say exemplary game jam game: funny, simple, made with attention to detail and with humour, and delightful art. Made me smile.

It's nice to have some humors in your game, i liked it ! And the game overall is pretty fun to play, I made the error to throw a cow out "for space", i'll not do it again ! Good game !

When would you ever need bouncy wheels?

This game is hilarious! My only complaint is that it's hard to tell if an object counts as "dropped." Other than that, great game!

Nice entry!

The premise, art, and "flavor" all contribute to a really fun and goofy game. I got a kick out of a number of the jokes (like the skeleton on the difficulty screen, packing "the cow and all of its belongings", and the Far Side reference). This fit well with the gameplay of frantically throwing animals and objects into a box under time pressure.

I will say that I found myself fighting with the physics a bit, which could be a little frustrating in a game with pretty tight timing. On the other hand, you did have an untimed difficulty, where I could practice and satisfy my desire to actually pack things optimally. It might have been nice if this was an option you could use for all the difficulties, so you can try the difficult levels without the time pressure.

Would have been nice to have some sound effects and/or music, but of course it's very difficult to scope everything into a Compo game and you had a lot of other content in the form of levels and objects.

Good luck during the rest of play and rate!

Very fun. It needs a way to manually control the rotation of objects though.

This provides the perfect combination of being able to calmly place items and also viciously yeet them out of screen. Super fun <3

This was a fun game. Sometimes letting go of the mouse would not let go of the object, but outside of Insanity I generally enjoyed the game.

nice game, found a way to cheeze the mechanic, just throw everything in the bin, then pick up a object to the line, then click end level. the best part of this was the cow stacking :D nice job

Okay, that's pretty good. Nice game!

Very fun, reminds me of my first game jam game from years back. I am not patient enough for this game I was just throwing it all in quickly. Good job and congratulations on your game!

Interesting concept, but the controls felt a bit too wacky for me. Not sure if I was supposed to make a throwing motion or just drag it in like I was doing.

Very fun game, plenty of humour everywhere.
Don't forgot to play each difficulty level ! (You will probably survive even in insane mode).
It's hard to balance a physic game, but you manage to play with all physical properties to make fun reactions (stuff very heavy, very bouncy), congratulations for your entry !

Interesting, fun game, the insane levels are truly insane! :D However I would have preferred to have an invisible wall on the screen's edges, than having this item respawn system. Anyway, good entry! :)
