The game is working well. I expected other levels.
I liked the reviews, but you opted out of the humor rating?

Loved the reviews at the end! The gameplay is solid and easy to pick up but challenging in a fun, hectic way. I agree with others that more levels would be welcome in an expanded version of this game, but the current level is well designed and enjoyable.

This was super fun to play. I wish there was a bit of a difficulty hike as it went on, maybe adding new types of gears and more conveyer belts. Overall, its a great entry tho

I really wanted a bigger level! The gameplay was hectic just as I started figuring stuff out, but once I did I wanted more!

Nice simple concept, I can see it getting intense with more mechanics on further levels. Keep up the good work!

nice little game, pretty straightforward and short, would be cool if there were side-paths you could send packages on forcing you to deal with more at once and multiple paths.

Hello, nice job on your entry! After a couple of tries, I was able to get a perfect level with no dropped packages; my score was 1350 with 27 deliveries. Really cool music, and nice concept!

When I hit replay, the level restarts but packages don't spawn and the timer doesn't budge, so I had to refresh the page. Also, there were a couple of instances where a blue package entered the second purple conveyor while a red package was still on there, so it was difficult (or not possible) to switch the conveyor in time. I couldn't figure out a way to counter that since spam-clicking to switch it didn't work, so it would be nice if the player had an out for that scenario. Same for red-to-blue, green-to-blue and green-to-red combinations.

Nice and simple game, easy to understand. Could possibly do with some more levels. Good presentation as well.

Good entry for a game jam. The concept is clear and well implemented. The game runs smoothly in the browser which is a nice plus!

Simple and intuitive. I'd love to see additional levels to expand on the idea and give more challenging layouts. It reminds me of the old Game & Watch games like Fire, but with a different approach behind the mechanic.

A simple and cool idea. But sometimes the blocks follow each other too fast and it is difficult to have time to switch the pipeline.
