Great game. It is very laggy on my computer and I am not a fan of the motion blur. Very nice art and I like the subtle posters telling you the controls.

This is incredible! It's pretty funny how those signs tell you what to do. Bamazon is a pretty funny name!

Funny game. Like it. Nice sounds and not bad graphics. Like Jeff Kerman said, motion blur is too strong.

Interesting concept however the motion blur and input delay are overwhelming making it hard to enjoy the game.

I greatly enjoyed the game. The music was a great match, the graphics are simply but polished enough to work in a stylised environment like this. Here's some feedback from my few sessions:

- One thing I found lacking was a sense of challenge or penalty for messed up orders, going into overtime, etc... It didn't really seem to matter, unless I didn't catch it?
- I was also starting at 5pm on every day after Monday, sending me into overtime immediately. Not sure if this is a bug or intended mechanic.
- Some orders became hard to fulfil, as the belt would sometimes lack specific items (looking at you, green cups!) for a long time. This is probably due to RNG luck, maybe adding a watchdog in the background, making sure there's at least ONE of the required items on the belt at all times might be helpful to make it less frustrating for the player.

Great job, might also be fun in Multiplayer with a bigger warehouse, opening up multiple belts & loading ramps progressively.

It was a very funny little game! And I'm not saying that just because I like packing stuff. :)
The music was on point, making me feel like I should hurry even if I had enough time to pack.
Graphics were simple but effective, and I really enjoyed playing it! I fell like this is a very nice idea!

Good job with your entry ! The graphics are nice and perfect for that type of mini game. The gameplay fits the theme, the music is both good and matching the game :) Great work ! I hope you enjoyed your first gamejam <3

Hey, this was a really cool and fun experience! Thank you for making this, I had a lot of fun :)
I completely agree with @klausklapper regarding his feedback. Especially the part about the green cups was very true, are they maybe falling off the conveyor belt before they can reach the player?

it builds stress well and the music makes it feel like you don't have enough time when you do. it ran very well and it looks cute. I liked the little plant on the desk

This has been one of my favorites so far. I cannot express how much I LOVE how the crosshair/box is super accurate when picking up items! Really enjoyed the time stretching of the music and the variety of items to pick up as the levels progressed. I didn't notice a sign about using SHIFT to quickly do a sprint burst, but it was much appreciated. The graphics were enjoyable, but my 2080 was spinning its fans quite loudly at 4k (but who on earth has time to optimize for a jam?! XD ).

My nitpicks:

1. It be a cool to see a little animation or sprite for completing all levels. Maybe money flowing or a bonus check being written for an all perfect score.

2. The end of level animation could be quicker, like as fast as the override speed for that POV shot.

3. The button for going to the next level seemed a bit finicky when clicking on it for me.

4. Motion blur is not kind to my eyes, option to disable would be a mighty fine thing.

Overall, this is a super impressive entry that you should be proud of. :)

The conveyor giving out the materials to pack in got choked once on Wednesday and I failed about three orders because of it. Motion blur and the LMB not working at times gets a bit frustrating. Nice that there was more variation in items as the days passed. I always seem to be out of toilet paper when I need it the most.

Physical keybinds would have been really nice.

Very satisfying game to play.. cool visuals and frantic gameplay.. Something to help keep track of my progress would be nice I think. Well done!

I had a lot of fun with this game, the mechanics are simple, easy to understand and fun! which is all that I ask for in a Jam game, I like the posters idea to explain the game without getting in your face and the truck animation was an awesome attention to detail that I really enjoyed, I discovered a bug where if you hold an item and then aim at the belt you start moving with the item which I think is hilarious, overall this is a really nice game and I'm glad to be your 20th vote!
