I absolutely love this game's art style! It's a beautiful contrast of loneliness and warmth! But when I zoom in to play, the icons seem misaligned and unclickable—not sure if it's my computer. Overall, it's super awesome!

This game is very interesting. But I so how can't throw the object, if I failed the first attempt.

@santen You're absolutely right. We did encounter several issues during the web version upload, and icon scaling was one of them. We've now updated with a new download package. Feel free to give it another try if you're interested!

I really like the graphics, how the story is presented in these comic strip elements, the music makes a cozy feel.

Also for me there were technical issues, fixed sizing problems on the ludum dare page with changing the canvas css sizes - got to throw a few of the packages on top but on retry I could no longer start throwing (so the aim did not work, but pressing spacebar just moved the package by one frame).

As you used unity you could probably also export the game for linux and macos as well, even if you can't test it yourself, it would increase your audience if the web version does not work that smooth.

love the art style, very innovative game mechanism, the throwing design really impressive. but the level difficulty is a little high, maybe better if can do some adjustments to the throwing curve. overall, great game

@peggy404 Thank you for your feedback! We did intentionally design the levels to become progressively more challenging, but we may have overlooked the steepness of the difficulty curve. We will adjust the pacing in future updates to make the progression smoother.

Very cute game! I love the artwork. Organizing items is a very interesting puzzle! One of games which look chilled and relaxed and then you blink and suddenly a ton of time has passed and you've didn't even notice

The particularly adorable style, along with its smooth gameplay, makes for a great game idea!!! Office workers not only have a tendency to hoard things but also have a penchant for organizing.

The embedded version might work if you disabled "Data caching" in the publishing settings. That's what did it for me. The LDJam website has a guide on this too:

What a uniquely thrilling game! The standout feature is the incredibly realistic physics engine. It transforms the simple act of placing objects into a nerve-wracking yet delightful puzzle, making you feel less like a collector and more like a bomb disposal expert handling priceless artifacts. This careful, deliberate gameplay is brilliantly immersive.

Amazing art!! The gameplay feels really polished, and combining parabolic throws with stacking mechanics is such a creative idea~

Really nice cosy game! The music, the visuals, the narrative setting at the beginning, it all contributes to give the game a unique and relaxing mood. The connection with the theme was not that obvious but following the theme is not mandatory so that's not a deal breaker. It was also a really nice addition to add some custom challenge on each level. Congrats!

Very nice artworks, and the music kind of reminded me of Take Five, super chill
A bit tedious on the controls but I think I'm just bad haha

Amazing graphics and totally relatable story! It would be nice if there would be the possibility to unselect/ change the item and control the charge - or maybe there was and I did not figured out how. Overall, great work and really fun game! :)
