Devil's Gone Nuts by StormForged

[raw]
made by StormForged for Ludum Dare 53 (JAM)

The devil's gone nuts and he needs you to help deliver them.

Some how you've found yourself in the inferno, but don't fret - you're still employed.

The devil needs your assistance sorting out his nuts for shipment to his unholy citadel where presumably they will delight customers on all nine circles of eternal damnation.

We now have a mac version for download (intel + silicon support)!

CONTROLS:

WASD to move around, Shift to sprint.

Click and hold to grab the packages and release to throw them, sliding those nutty packages right into the DMs (Devil Mouths).

Simply click to interact with the buttons.

BUGFIXES

Fixed an issue with delivery request scaling.

Fixed an issue with crosshair scaling poorly at higher resolutions.

Fixed an issue where prefab settings on the packages were somehow lost.

Great concept, great devil-faces, and I love the "nuts" audio.
Also a very good red button!

Funny little game! Took me a second to figure out how to play as the interaction range of clicking the button and boxes was pretty short - might be helpful to have a little indicator on the cursor of when you can select something. Also a bit tough to aim the boxes, but I started getting the hang of it. Congratulations on finishing and submitting your game!

I like the vibe for this game. It was pretty satisfying hurling the boxes and the music and audio was well done!

Hell yeah, a giant chute spewing random items is a great idea(I may be slightly biased because I too have made a game with such mechanic once...).

Cool entry, music is a jam and the art has a spirit of PS2 era games, which I love.

Great game man!!
After some time, it gets repetitive! You add constrain by making obstacles in between or more devils mouth!!!

A fun game! I like background music! It would be nice if there was training at the beginning!

Haha, the trucks at the end are great!

I found it strange to aim in this. Like if I moved my mouse slowly / gently the input didn't register somehow. That made it kinda difficult to fling boxes from far.

Cool jam, I liked the tone set in this.

I liked the movement in this and I love the goofiness of the premise! Good game!

A short and fun game. I found a glitch where you could hold the box and put it multiple times in a mouth, which made the game much easier

Got some issues with the controls as well, the mouse movement being quite snappy, boxes randomly shooting as soon as you grabbed them or just dropping while aiming.

I'll excuse those by saying those boxes were possessed.

Despite that I did have fun though, the concept is interesting, the visuals and quirky music gives it a fun vibe.

Having to find your food under the pile of hay dud boxes is fun as it gets messier and messier.

I wish I had seen there was a download version as the web one doesn't lock the cursor in the window when in fullscreen, or at least I couldn't get it to do it, so I had to manage both the snappy turning with not being able to bring the cursor near the edge or it would on my other screens (as I have 3, it was extra difficult, it meant no touching either the left or right side of the screen haha)

The music is so good with the vibes of this game. Easy controls but took me a bit to figure things out, however the reading the description definitely helped out! At one point I just spammed the nut button for fun because it was somewhat satisfying.

Ahaha, this was great. I did have a few issues with packages disappearing when I picked them up but apart from that I think it was a very solid concept that was executed cleanly and I had fun playing it! I liked the natural progression of difficulty due to the empty boxes. Great job!

Nice idea, background music is a bop, movement feels nice. I had a problem where picking up boxes seems to move them to a certain point for a short duration, I think it is directly under the pipe. This results in picking up the first box usually throwing the entire rest of the batch into random directions and makes boxes too far from the pipe impossible to pick up. Otherwise, solid execution, throwing felt incredibly rewarding once you figured out the physics.

Grabbing boxes sometimes was a little buggy, but it was satisfying to fling them into the devils' mouths. Neat game!

Was easy enough controls and satisfying throwing them into the devil mouths. GG C:
