Pallet Panic by Henrik Ganard
You are a forklift operator with the goal of keeping the factory going. One working day is between 7am to 4pm and after you can see on your reportcard on how well you did manage to fulfill your goals.
LD-integrated version does not start for me, try external version if you have the same problem.
Instructions

- Drive the forklift with WASD or arrowkeys, lift up and put down pallets with Space or E.
- Put green, yellow, red and blue pallets in their respective machine (maximum 5 at a time)
- Take purple pallets from the purple machine to the top trailer
- Unload bottom trailer before timer runs out
- Try and fullfill your duties before your workday ends at 16:00

Love the art style!
By the way do the red/green lights on the processing areas mean anything or are they just there to cause anxiety?
Presentation is great, and controls feel right for a chunky forklift.
The fact a single run takes so long is a bit of a bummer, especially with this difficulty. Would have appreciated lower task numbers and lower timer. I managed to get yellow palletes task done only on the 2nd try, and while I was trying to get purples sorted, the truck just left me with a few and didn't manage to come back until the shift was over :p
Is it even theoretically possible to finish all the tasks in one run? I assume not since it's quite a tight shift.
I did my best but I sure felt some Pallet Panic as the time got close to 16!
I appreciate the attention to detail in the game, like the different lines the truck driver says when you take too long.
The gameplay loop is good and well executed.
Cool game!
