let me be a hamster *all day*~
I wasn't entirely sure where to deliver to,
but boy did I love running over hamsters *:)*

Unfortunately the game's camera keeps spinning in circles automatically, so it's not really playable for me!

@cireneikual222464 I've never seen this issue happen, none of my playtesters encountered this? Did you have a controller plugged into your PC with joystick drift?

This game is a real hoot! The humorous concept really shines through, and the graphics are just fantastic. However, there were a few times when the packets got stuck in some hard-to-reach places, and it was frustrating to not be able to get them out. Overall, a really enjoyable experience!

This game looks super cute and I really like the movement on the forklift. But, I can't seem to figure out how to pick up a crate. I keep running into the glowing red crate but can't seem to get it on my fork.

Any help?

Nice work, driving the forklift as the hamster makes it that much better. Great job!

@claybro2021 are you lifting up the fork? You need to lift the package off of the shelf using the fork, unlike real life we didn't make it possible to stab the packages through the pallet at the bottom.

Hope this helps!

@auusi9 Yeah, there's a bit of a steep learning curve to some difficult places. Hopefully you give it another shot some other time :smiley: :hamster:

Fun game! I love the hamsters and movement on the truck!

omg. I love the music and the driving is super fun. Going around corners with speed and driving off the ramps is great. Also love that you added collision animation/sound! The first time through I missed the order details as well as the box highlights so it was a little confusing, but once you know the objective it's great. Excellent work!

@leyamez I tried with a controller, but while I could navigate the menu with it, in game it did nothing, so I switched back to mouse and keyboard, but with both methods there was endless spinning, no matter how much I wiggled the joysticks.

@leyamez also, it seems to only happen when the mouse is locked. This is all on itch.io btw, it won't load here for me.

Haha very cute idea. Was a bit hard to see where to deliver the packages but great game.

@cireneikual222464 hm, no one else seems to have brought this problem to my attention, so that's wierd. Sorry you were unable to play

@tommeh there was an issue with one of our shaders, didn't realize until you pointed it out :) It should be MUCH clearer now, 2 of our assets weren't rendering properly

The game is quite funny.

Ramps in a warehouse. I love it.

Very nice one ! Graphics are great. I had some difficulties with managing the camera. I'm afraid I'll never make it as an amazon forklift operator =(

@carkh Yeah.. we made a grave mistake of optimizing the camera for the controller! Which is how we were testing it at the time, which is obviously a mistake since most of you won't play with a controller. This is one area I felt we really missed the mark, sorry it affected your gameplay :slight_frown:

@mallansandan Yes.. clear safety issue in this warehouse. :skull:

This is amazing for a weekend jam game! The maze-like warehouse layout was a smart design decision, and it was always fun to navigate around to new objectives. Launching off ramps was a lot of fun too, and I really like how the physics feel realistic but are reigned in a bit so you can't flip over or get stuck. I also love how there are a lot of quality-of-life features like how it's pretty easy to keep the cargo on the fork while you're flying around a corner. Super impressive all around - great work! :)

I was struggling for 3 minute in the second round because I didn't get that I have to go trough the shelf with the fork. But its silly that I can hit some hamsters.

I love the art of this one, the hamsters look super cute. An interesting idea as well, great job!

Very high quality presentation. Solid gameplay. I do think that if we fire some of the guys that just run around and jump in front of the forklift, we could probably buy another forklift and have double the productivity.

@shiiro-10psi might be able to make this one come true.. might work on a multiplayer version next week (not for jam)

tipping over the hamsters was so fricking hilarious lol

on a serious note, i have no idea how you managed to make all of this in such short time, nice job!
camera and collisions were a bit weird, but the reset button was quite useful to fix the latter, as i once got stuck
