Hey ! I liked the simplicity of the game but your really polished the production of the game ! I dig the funny vibe with the graphics and the music !

Nice game, the bounding boxes were a little glitchy if you really wanted to try and squeeze things in there. The little blurbs the people shouted were funny, I also liked how you could just destroy peoples stuff to fit it in the bag, lol

The item bounds didn't fully match the visual representation so it got very tedious trying to pixel perfectly fit some of the larger objects in later levels. Other than that, the game is pretty solid and polished, good job!

I changed my rating twice, at first I didn't rate the mood or humor high enough. :laughing: After playing a bit longer I had fun with this. Borders overlap when the shouldn't sometimes when placing items, that was the only bug I found. Great job!

Fun game. I'd expect them to pack more Dogecoin though.

Sorry to complain, but if music is not made by you during the jam, you should opt-out of audio ratings.

Anyway, nice job! I really like the graphics, it's funny and consistent. Game itself is a little bit too simple, so it gets boring after a while, but it is quite satisfying for a while. For you first jam entry: really decent.

The items should either go on a grid so they could fit perfectly or the collision boxes should be trimmed a little, because they didn't fully align with the visuals. Other than that I liked the game

@dod108 it's all good! To be fair I think we didn't quite make it clear!

Was a fun and frantic luggage packing game. I didn't realise that you could chop up bigger items until my 2nd play through. The music was really happy and quirky and fit the game great. Good game!

**ON MY QUEST TO RATE ALL 15 GAMES NAMED SPACE LTD I’M TRYING OUT ALL THE GAMES NAMED SPACE LTD.** I guess it was self explanetory…

Very neat little "fit them all" game! Is what i would've sad, If it wasn't for the shrink mechanic...

I was naive to think that it's some kind of sci-fi device that will shrink itams, and so when instead of a small gitar i got A BROKEN HALF OF IT BACK it broke me into a laughter. Spended almost all the time braking ppl's shit up just to see their reaction

Music and graphic are great. Loved little animations for the passanger and a spacecrew alot. And, it goes without saying, "shrinked" sprites are simply amazing. Specialy this fella! [chrome_KVsVAJnbHy.png](///raw/f9b/82/z/5fa2f.png)

10/10 would shrink again

P.S. I encourage you to try every space-ltd games using ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/space-ltd-[number] (or don’t use a number to get a first one) link to see what other ppl got! As proud space-ltd creaters should hold onto eachother!

i like how we have to fit the entities in a tight space bag like a puzzle piece. It matched the theme perfectly. The thing that stood out the most was the tiny rocket men running and the jokes.

Very funny and a good fit to the theme.

What I did:
Packed bags
Sent em to space
Bish bash bosh
Good stuff, I'm worried about what I did to the fish when I shrunk it...

Really cool concept, i like that to save time you dont have to shrink everything, makes you think a little more. Great job!

Fun game. The graphics and little people animation is really cute. Fits the theme well.

Great submission, especially for a first time! The space-saving machine was a funny take on the theme. It would be nice if it got harder as it went along but you got a solid core concept implemented. I think this is the prequel to my game. Go team Space Ltd!

besides from the bounding boxes that do not fit perfectly, this is a hilariously awesome game jam entry! It's very well done and a hit home on the theme. I played longer than I antisipated to :D Good job! :)

For a first game jam, this is a great attempt. I like the concept, and the game seems fairly complete. It was fun to play for a bit, but it would have been nice to see some more progression as time went on.

Wow really great entry, cool concept and great animation.
The soundtrack is great also.
The button to change the form of an object wasn't in the How to play (lost a couple of life due to that)

Great job for a 1rst ludum.

I managed to go to a score of 14 and I stopped after that because I think I've seen all there is to that game.
It's a fun game but there is no emphasis to NOT destroy your stuff so you could just smash it all and bag it.
I think it would have been far better to make the game based on how much you could have packed without having to destroy it. Maybe the timer was a too generous too.

I also want to had that if you did not made the music of the game, you should opt out from the audio category has it is unfair for the ones that have created it.

Overall it's a nice game and I hope you'll polish it.

Keep up the good work :smile:

I really loved the graphics and the audio, the people are full of character and the music is perfect at setting a fast-paced and fun tone for the game! The only thing I would change visually is that the UI text is in a very different style to the rest of the game, I think using a font that looks more hand-drawn and adding a backing to the score/lives/round text in the main game would help with this :smile:

@harksa Hi thanks for playing and commenting on our game! And we did make the music during the game jam! Although
I get that we did write the description a bit confusingly :sweat_smile:

Bottle of "wet" is funny. Also shrinking the objects is funny) Wish I could know that shrinking takes 2 seconds away, so that I could take it into account while figuring out my strategy. Visuals are good, the music is great. Also the hitboxes feel a bit wonky.

The squished items look amazing. Great visuals and sound. Also the animations are really good (and funny). Only thing that could be improved is the hitboxes of the items and that the make gets a bit harder later on. Otherwise amazing entry.
