really cool game, i like how we can see through the different "layers" of objects, that's a cool feature, and how mechanics are added along the way, good work

I cant play your game as it seems the game tab freezes when I try to run it. almost like a while loop that is endlessly running. just wanted to give you a heads up. im on chrome on macos

Really great submission here.

You've done an excellent job with tutorial/onboarding. Each mechanic is clearly explained and introduced one at a time so there is no confusion. There is a surprising amount of content but not much time to practice each mechanic before the next one is introduced so it constantly feels like you're in tutorial mode.

The art and UI is a little clunky but was clear enough that there was little confusion (I just didn't know how the hell to count 'shirts')

The manifest seemed to be bugging out for me as I often was just seeing blank pages.

Also I realized how bad I am at multiplication once decimals are involved.

Overall very impressive submission!

@artatruc Thank you for the kind words!

@lushboy-studios Sorry to hear that ๐Ÿ˜ž I wasn't able to test on MacOS, so I'm not sure if it's something specific to that or not. I'm not sure what it would be.

@obe-dot So glad you liked the music! We made quite a few different tracks to try to give a bit of variety. ๐Ÿ˜Š

@sjpixels Thank you so much for all the feedback! You're right, the pacing could definitely use some love! ๐Ÿ˜…

Thanks all for giving our game a go! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

Very nice entry, clear tutorial, very chill music, and doable work. The only thing I encountered was, that once it starts with the actual work, the quota didn't increase at all and also the strikes didn't increase and I lost the game after the first real day :( But otherwise very solid entry ๐Ÿ‘

Nice little game! I thought you did a great job at slowly introducing the different mechanics to the player. Unfortunately on my first "real" day on the job, the game froze when I denied a business package with a bomb in it - happened twice so unfortunately I couldn't get further than that. Was definitely starting to get into a good flow on the second playthrough. Congrats on finishing and submitting your game!

This is a good game. I think you all did a cracking job :id:
I did get the odd crash where the game froze but only once or twice.

I love the xray feature! :D Nice :)

Cool idea! The different layers really help when there are a lot of items in the package. Well done!

Really good! All the gameplay and quality and all of that were all really good! I didn't find any issues, the only thing was that I didn't understand Quotas and Strikes, but the game is still really good! It's also really funny to see the objects all moving around in the package because of how many there were.
