I like the idea about having the packages come in one end and go out the other. All the timings are crap now as its just proof of concept.
I might reorganise the layout as suggested.

why not have some sort of crane system where its point an click.. but u gotta make sure that the tracks for the crane are layed out properly (either by the user or preset/generated).

Well I have been playing around with it, and swapped the delivery trucks for one big boat that comes along and unloads lots of stuff. Also the crates now slide until they hit something. I reckon this plays better than it did before, but I''d like to know what others think.
Yes the interface is crap (not really done yet), the graphics are also pants, trust me, it will look fab, I just need to know if this design will work better, layout-wise and gameplay wise.
Thanks!

I think the gameplay is improved. I liked being able to fling the crates around the wearhouse, however it interface was a little auckward. It might be more intuative if i could just grab it with the mouse and fling it at any direction i wanted with a large or a small velocity depending on how long i dragged the mouse while i was clicking the box? Just an Idea. However, i''m still not sure how your going to sell this game?
The other thing that wasn''t quite clear to me is what the goal of the game was? i thought I was supposed to empty the wear house, but upon doing so i realized that the "level" wasn''t over so i started unloading the boat like a mad man. There didn''t seem to be clear what I was actually trying to accomplish.

Once you clear a wearhouse you sould get a new one (maby bigger?) with a different layout, kind of like going up a level in tetris. Someting that give the player good intermediate goals. Hope my feedback helps.
