| May 2 10:29:34 | DeliverPunch | ♥ 1 | Pretty cute game! I love the random cats that are placed around, they do nothing but are awesome anyway! The platforming feels too fast, and the boxes get stuck really easily, I think if the physics can be tweaked it could feel much better | |
| May 2 10:37:57 | 8m 23s | Post the Most | ♥ 3 | Unfortunately I don't have a mouse (only trackpad) so I couldn't fully enjoy this game, but it's pretty neat! The table objects that you can throw off and just respawn is pretty funny, it's like they are coming back to spite you 😆 The rules are a bit overwhelming, I wonder if you could start with only one or two stamp types, and then gradually add more, to ease the player into the game. |
| May 2 10:52:36 | 14m 39s | Delivery Bros | ♥ 1 | I love the package spawning sound, it is very juicy and moist. |
| May 3 09:12:03 | 22h 19m | Messenger Boy | ♥ 2 | Excellent music as expected, love how it is dynamic. Very dark ending! Only thing I would suggest is that the fast running section feels a bit uncomfortable especially with the camera follow. Looking forward to the extended version of the music! |
| May 3 11:07:03 | 1h 55m | Your Item Has Been Delivered | ♥ 1 | I liked it, a nice short game, worked reasonably well aside from the wonky physics but it wasn't a big deal. Love the detail like robot eyes! |
| May 4 11:05:16 | 23h 58m | Legal_Transactions.bat | ♥ 3 | Top game, the sound and mood is very chill, like old school Tron/Darwinia vibes. The controls and constant zooming in and out get a bit clunky but otherwise the game is very compelling. Well done! |
| May 4 11:29:22 | 24m 06s | Personal Delivery Conglomerateâ„¢ | ♥ 1 | The sound is just so cute. Love a bit of gibberish speech! The game is a bit slow paced and it was damn hard playing on a laptop, but with a bit of streamlining this could be pretty comfy, like a relaxing version of papers please. And yes the customers are unintentionally terrifying. |
| May 4 11:45:49 | 16m 27s | The Pigeon Post Principle | ♥ 3 | There's a great number of puzzles here, very fun. Solid sound effects and cute art. |
| May 4 13:10:07 | 1h 24m | Space Delivery Simulator | ♥ 1 | Really neat, the music was cool but could be tweaked to be less intense later on. I like the idea behind some of the minigames, but it's hard to figure out what they are supposed to do. Nice graphical touches showing this is a beat up piece of crap ship! |
| May 4 13:17:32 | 7m 25s | Eggo | ♥ 1 | This game has a surprisingly great game feel. Usually platformers are one of my least favourite games to play in jams because it's hard to get the feel right, but here it feels great rushing towards the exit. There are some spots where you are making blind jumps or falls but other than that it's tweaked well. Love the music, sound effects and the whole idea of an egg cracking to slide... hahaha, nice game! |
| May 5 08:41:35 | 19h 24m | GameTrain | ♥ 1 | There's some interesting ideas here but the games were way too confusing! I had no idea what to do. I think this game could really benefit from some sort of tutorial or clearer indications that you've done something right. Otherwise cool concept! |
| May 5 08:45:05 | 3m 30s | Delivery From Hell | ♥ 1 | Short and sweet! The player jumping around like a jackrabbit was unintentionally hilarious. |
| May 5 08:50:05 | 5m 00s | Days on the Lake | ♥ 2 | I couldn't really understand what was going on as I could not find anyone with a box on their head, and when I did 5 other boats got there before me! I like the water effects though, it was really nice. |
| May 5 09:05:00 | 14m 55s | Mars Delivery Program | ♥ 2 | This is a very nice chill game. The atmosphere, graphics, sound, were really good. I especially liked the trip to the red area, where you can see the base below, that was a nice touch. The level design in the starting base could be improved a bit though, as on several occasions I found myself going in the wrong direction so I had to turn back. Overall very good! |
| May 5 09:31:44 | 26m 44s | Honey BZZZness | ♥ 4 | Nice polished incremental game! The art is pretty cute and the music is enjoyable to listen to. The mechanics are a bit overwhelming as there are 3 resource types and lots of types of bees, so it's unclear what the best choices are. I think some extra sound effects could have helped make things more satisfying. Great game for the jam! |
| May 5 13:28:33 | 3h 56m | God's plan | ♥ 1 | I'm not sure how I triggered it but the two delivery people I got were stuck outside the delivery building, so I could not continue. I think there's a nice idea lurking under here, but probably the jam was too short to fully realise it? It is a comfy mood though! |
| May 5 13:37:01 | 8m 28s | Last Stand Delivery | ♥ 3 | Love the art in the game, clean and readable. Solid sokoban like game! |
| May 6 05:48:06 | 16h 11m | With the Grain | ♥ 2 | The mood of the game is excellent! I thoroughly enjoyed playing through the game. The track building mechanic is certainly unusual, I'm not sure it works perfectly as it requires a lot of clicks and sometimes trial and error since the source and destinations are often off camera, but it shows promise and with some QoL tweaks and clever level design I'm sure it can work very well. Lovely presentation and music. |
| May 6 10:37:11 | 4h 49m | Winter Factory | ♥ 1 | Nicely executed game! I feel the starting levels were too slow but as the rules got more complex the game became more fun to play. It would have been nice if you used other things like shape to differentiate the colours, as it would be more accessible. |
| May 6 10:43:54 | 6m 43s | Ultimate Package | ♥ 0 | This has the chaotic energy and crazy jank of early newgrounds games, kinda fun! I love the little touches like generous continue points, an unpassable wall at the start to prevent the player killing themselves, and camera repositioning points, to offset the floaty platforming and overall randomness. |
| May 6 11:19:32 | 35m 38s | Cyberwurm | ♥ 1 | The mechanics of this game were really unusual, and I found myself coming back to this again and again until I mastered it! It's certainly something that feels great. The art is cool but the symbols were quite inscrutable, it took some trial and error to figure out what everything was - the egg, the attack thing, or random bits in the background that do nothing. I guess with a more conventional theme (like maybe sandworm?) the game would be less confusing at the start. |
| May 6 11:33:53 | 14m 21s | The Bear of Bad News | ♥ 3 | Definitely one of those games that are fun to fail at! I love the goofy bear animations, it's such a delight to watch. I'm looking forward to the full version, where the bear performs surgeries and fills prescriptions. |
| May 6 11:38:08 | 4m 15s | Crazy Hearse | ♥ 1 | Love the little quips, and for some reason ukulele music. The driver in the middle of town seems lost. It would help to have a map or compass, or maybe name the hospitals by their location on the map? |
| May 7 02:15:36 | 14h 37m | Fragile: Handle With Care | ♥ 4 | The mechanics in this game are pretty nice. Initially I thought I had to carry before throwing but in many of the levels, you are more efficient by attacking the packages without carrying it. It seems that there's potential here that isn't fully explored by the current set of levels, such that the player will need to use all three types of skills - carrying, throwing, and attacking - to complete more challenging levels. Also I wonder if there is a tension between having a time limit and having to complete a set number of packages, a little more focus could improve the game balance. Apart from that, really nice art and music, great polish. |
| May 7 05:48:25 | 3h 32m | Forklift-em-up | ♥ 2 | Really sweet game, action is smooth and the premise is pretty wicked. One complaint is that the camera follow is very disorienting, I think if the camera was fixed or smoothly followed it would be much better. SFX was good especially the smash sound, would be even better if they were higher fidelity than the bfxr/sfxr stuff, to fit better with the music. |
| May 7 07:39:28 | 1h 51m | Boxbrawl Delivery | ♥ 1 | Just a super polished early NES style game, I can see this being released as an NES game today for retro game enthusiasts. Game feel is great, the mechanics of throwing packages to kill enemies is tricky but satisfying when you get the hang of it. One nitpick is the lack of game music, but this is totally understandable given similar games of the era. |
| May 7 09:45:56 | 2h 06m | Parcel Blaster 2099 | ♥ 0 | Really fun and interesting mashup of game mechanics. Personally I found the shooting part less fun as the charging and aiming were at odds with the fast paced driving part, so I wonder if a simplified shooting mechanic would work better - for example, fixed power, one or two button shooting without aiming. But with the right level design I think it could be made to work well too. Music is top notch, cool eurobeats. |
| May 9 11:48:10 | 50h 02m | LD - PIZZA | ♥ 1 | Love the voice acting! Fun to play but hard on a touchpad |
| May 11 10:30:40 | 46h 42m | Neo City Express | ♥ 1 | This is a special kind of crazy and it's awesome! Top art as expected, the audio, story and v/o are all very good, game works really smoothly with no jank. The idea is really cool, it's like a warioware masquerading as a driving game. If I had to nitpick it would be that the base driving game seems to be a bit neglected, I would have appreciated slightly more cars and variety, but the game is great regardless. We made a similar game in LD51 (driving while texting) so it's fun to see how different teams come up with their own spin on the same idea! |
| May 11 11:16:53 | 46m 13s | Drone Drop | ♥ 1 | Not bad, getting the hang of the mechanics was fun, it's like a bombing game :) The gameplay is very simple, it would have been nice if you could extend it with obstacles to avoid, or scores for accuracy, hitting moving objects, that kind of thing. The music is pretty neat! |
| May 13 02:02:57 | 38h 46m | Poppycock's Perfect Packages | ♥ 1 | Pretty cozy and neat looking game. It was hard to control the cursor sometimes because it would unpredictably jump around, maybe not having it blink will help. It would have been nice to have the levels progress in difficulty, as it seems even the first level was quite challenging compared to the tutorial. But apart from that it works great, and some extra juice like sfx would make it even more satisfying. |
| May 13 13:30:25 | 11h 27m | Postage Please! | ♥ 0 | This is really well made, the amount of polish is very high, the chip sounds are very convincing! Only shortcoming is this is a clone of papers please so there's not much new here, but everything else is fantastic! |
| May 14 02:52:38 | 13h 22m | Deliver Us From Evil | ♥ 0 | Pretty neat platformer, surprised how many mechanics you managed to implement in the amount of time - gates, blocks etc. The low res sprites are pretty cute and the game feel is solid, minus a few small bits of jank on ladders and passing through some walls. |
| May 14 10:20:50 | 7h 28m | Unwelcomed Delivery | ♥ 1 | The HTML5 link is broken |
| May 15 02:26:54 | 16h 06m | Cassie's Truck | ♥ 1 | Wow I did not expect a TBT game, this is full of surprises. I hope it was as fun to make as it was to play! |
| May 16 10:57:35 | 32h 30m | Wobbly Eats | ♥ 1 | I like killing customers with the food! |
