May 2 09:11:32		Deliver Or Die	♥ 1	Simple concept executed really well. Went from "ahh this is easy" to "oh it gets tough after you've delivered about 5" pretty quickly! 8 is my best so far but I might pop back for another try soon.
May 2 09:36:16	24m 44s	Dungeons & Delivery	♥ 3	Really love the concept behind this, and well put together as well. The pixel art's good too - I especially like the overworld graphics. Could maybe do with a lives system (maybe a gold penalty to pay an adventurer to rescue you?) as hitting a game over after 1 mob hit feels a bit harsh - although definitely just a personal taste thing! Nice one!
May 2 10:16:19	40m 03s	📯 POSTAL HERO 🏹	♥ 3	This is astonishingly good! The art is gorgeous! Really like having the separate sorting / delivering sections of the game and having to manually read maps and navigate around the town rather than having an objective marker / arrow is a lovely touch.
May 2 10:18:47	2m 28s	The Herd's Journey	♥ 3	Great atmosphere in this game, really liked the art style. Always interesting to see peaceful / non-violent takes on genres that tend to lean a bit more towards violent mechanics!
May 2 10:34:10	15m 23s	Car-Go Space	♥ 4	Very nicely put together, really like the low-poly look to the cars and buildings. Enjoyed the ending as well 😄
May 2 11:13:17	39m 07s	Smuggling Pirates	♥ 2	Ended up playing this for ages! Definitely my sort of game!
May 2 11:25:04	11m 47s	The Night Witches	♥ 4	Very cool game - the art is very stylish. Love how the mechanics all gel together - the stealth / puzzle conundrum is definitely apt!
May 2 11:44:32	19m 28s	Hear Ye!	♥ 2	Any game with a dedicated "toot" button is going to draw my attention instantly! I liked that the toot only stunned enemies rather than getting rid of them completely. Graphics and writing very charming as well!
May 2 12:14:08	29m 36s	Postal Town	♥ 2	Incredible work! Graphics are delightful, mechanics appeal a great deal to the graph / network theorist in me 😄 Really polished and nicely executed to boot.
May 2 13:08:12	54m 04s	Planetary Postman	♥ 0	The graphics in this are absolutely delightful! Really interesting look to the sort of pseudo 3D warping of pixel art (or some sort of pixel shader on 3D objects? - I digress - it looks very cool, I'm a fan) Always enjoy something where I can see a nice trail behind something that's having its path bent by gravity type things. Overall, great game!
May 6 09:27:13	92h 19m	Hexpress	♥ 4	Having the wand you're delivering determine your attack style is a cool mechanic, and there's a lot of variety in the different styles. I thought the reversal was a particularly good one! Graphics are really good as well, I'm always impressed by what people can do with limited colour palettes - the water effects also caught my eye!
May 6 09:48:38	21m 25s	Gecko's Deliverance	♥ 3	Cool take on a sort of reverse tower defence. Liked the visual style as well - character sprites had a sort of Age of Empires style pre-rendered 3D model as sprite feel to them which I'm a fan of!
May 6 10:19:02	30m 24s	Space Haulers	♥ 1	Absolutely top notch pixel art here! The artistic design that's gone into it is very cool as well, the ship in particular, but the monster design also. Definitely bit off more than I could chew on my first go round, very much a "ahh I'll take two lots of dangerous cargo, what could possibly go wrong" (turns out, a lot) moment! Hubris.PNG
May 6 10:30:18	11m 16s	An Ocean Planet	♥ 2	Lovely bit of story telling and world building! Has a really nice relaxing vibe to it, genuinely made me smile!
May 6 10:44:14	13m 56s	Dispatchers	♥ 1	Nice little game, the sort of junctioning logic makes it quite challenging and interesting when you start getting to the higher levels. Graphics and design are very cute and endearing!
May 6 11:01:08	16m 54s	Cargo Cove	♥ 2	Very cool game - love the various piratey barks and the art style is really good!
May 6 11:12:21	11m 13s	Aunt Emmas	♥ 3	Took a bit of time for me to hit a good rhythm with it but devised a good system for stocking up on stuff before the first order starts coming in. As everyone else is saying, vibes are really, nice chill atmosphere to the game even if the gameplay can get a bit frenetic!
May 6 11:36:45	24m 24s	Guns and Toads: Battle for delivery	♥ 1	Nice twist on a Vampire Survivor-like game (Action roguelike? is that what we're calling them these days?) The delivery theme is a clever tie in as it deals well with the "is the optimal strategy just to stand still" problem that Vampire Survivors sometimes runs into!
May 6 11:50:08	13m 23s	Love at First Slice	♥ 1	Really heartwarming story, graphics are lovely as well, nice job!
May 6 12:00:17	10m 09s	Styx and Stones	♥ 5	Nice take on a sort of Greek mythology dark Frogger game. Art is absolutely gorgeous and the writing's enjoyable.
May 7 16:27:30	28h 27m	Stork Serenity	♥ 0	Really solid level design in this! Pixel art is gorgeous and the ambient sounds are really pleasantly relaxing.
May 7 16:53:45	26m 15s	DETOUR	♥ 1	Really clever puzzle mechanics and the level designs utilise them / show them off really effectively! Such a solid game!
May 8 14:49:36	21h 55m	Aerial Odyssey	♥ 2	Really cool puzzle mechanics, takes a lot of figuring out. Very nicely put together overall!
May 8 15:02:37	13m 01s	Space Cannon Delivery Service	♥ 1	Really cool work and really nicely implemented like gravity bending paths! Quite tricky but really rewarding when you manage to get things delivered!
May 14 19:08:11	148h 05m	Fed Up Delivery	♥ 1	Really well put together entry! The graphics and music create a really coherent vibe. The managing your screen space mechanic does a great job of ramping up the tension and difficulty as you play through the levels as well!
May 14 19:21:04	12m 53s	Ice Break Delivery	♥ 2	Nicely put together game! Really like the low poly visuals and the sort of bouncey back-and-forth walk animations. Music is really chill, and I can't quite put my finger on why, but I really like the tinkly time running out sounds. Had quite a lot of fun getting a bunch of enemies following me then leading them into an ice break rather than pushing them in - but definitely got a bit too bold with it once or twice and just ended up falling in myself!
May 14 19:32:46	11m 42s	Devil-lery	♥ 1	Absolutely nails a simple mechanic that's tricky to master! Took me a while to get the hang of it, but having to sort of plot out where you want to aim sort of separately from actually firing the cannon and having a vague indication of the power you're firing with is a really cool way of adding a real skill challenge into this. The 2D style graphics drawn up in a 3D way gives the whole thing a very distinctive style as well!
May 14 19:42:38	9m 52s	GobEx	♥ 1	Graphics absolutely on point, really nicely polished and adorable! Love the little goblin, love taking his little hat. Very well executed idea overall!
May 14 20:03:13	20m 35s	Foxcrate	♥ 1	The hand drawn graphics style is lovely, especially with the sort of animation wobble to it. Some cool mechanics going on here and they all build nicely on each other!
May 14 20:20:45	17m 32s	Little Oni	♥ 3	Blown away by this! It's so well done! The central mechanic leads to some very fun level designs, and the limited colour and excellent pixel art give this a really stylish look. Chill music fits the aesthetic perfectly as well.
May 14 20:30:08	9m 23s	Valhalla Calling	♥ 1	Interesting take on the theme. I'm not normally a fan of CRT filter type things, but I thought it really worked well here and made the pixel art pop and gave it a bit of vibrancy. The attack having a bit of wind up to it leaving you open to getting hit works really well and makes the combat engaging!
May 14 20:36:49	6m 41s	Yangtze	♥ 1	Interesting puzzle mechanics in this, I like that it feels really geared towards having to plan ahead and factor in how long it will take you to reach a particular destination.
May 14 20:59:44	22m 55s	▲●■♚	♥ 1	The way the sounds all build together once you set up a bunch of routes through all the nodes is really cool, like a sort of weird generative music thing. Read your comment above - I'm playing an awful lot of Factorio at the moment and this does do a great job of hitting a similar feel in a bit more of a simplified / abstract setting!
May 14 21:08:37	8m 53s	Space Delivery	♥ 1	Big fan of the slightly chaotic controls to the rocket - makes it a lot of fun! The booster effects are nicely put together as well.
May 14 21:41:45	33m 08s	Flight Dispatch	♥ 1	This is really slick and there's a lot to it! I keep coming back to to the idea of doing like a fast paced game with a command line input and this is such a cool way of implementing it! Definitely gets quite hectic in the later stages of the game, really really good though!
May 15 18:22:38	20h 40m	Deliverance	♥ 1	Really solid platformer! Enjoyed the music a lot and the graphics all felt like they sat well together.
May 15 18:28:10	5m 32s	Fangs and Fury	♥ 1	The buildings and street designs are cool, creates a nice gothic-y atmosphere. Particularly like the designs of the vampire hunters!
May 15 18:35:02	6m 52s	You Shall Not Deliver.	♥ 0	Really well polished - especially having a proper tutorial in there! Tricky mechanics to master but it's good fun trying to focus on taking down the drones while also grabbing what they're dropping - a bit of a patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time type challenge!
May 15 18:41:50	6m 48s	Age of Mail	♥ 1	The art is really nice, the focus on that's definitely paid off, I especially like when you get to the edges and it shows that the whole thing's like a map on a table - great framing!
May 15 18:44:56	3m 06s	Astro-Web Deliveries	♥ 1	Good little arcadey game, really impressive for just 12 hours!
May 15 19:23:36	38m 40s	Worm Eats Inc.	♥ 1	What a lovely, relaxing game! The colour changing is a nice touch and making patterns behind yourself is good and satisfying!
