Very cute, simple game with an endearing art style! I like it! If I were to make one recommendation, it would be for a bit more variety and perhaps make each round last a little longer. For a Ludum Dare entry, this is acceptable. Well done!

It is fun to play and I like the art style. The score system is a nice touch :upside_down:

Nice one :)

Paperboy vibes

Very cute aesthetic! Like the achievement system and the variety of things you can hit :D

This is a really nice game with good mechanics. Keep it up!

Had a consistent theme between the art and the music. I thought it was going to be more paperboy like, so I was trying to toss the papers onto the houses (realized later I got more points for hitting the cars). Might have even preferred it with more objectives like tossing paper onto the porches, but avoiding hitting people or cars. The main menu was really compelling, and the achievements looked great popping up in game, and were a nice to check out after each try. Great work!

Would love your thoughts on Sling Ship: **https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/sling-ship-search-for-a-small-world**

A very cute game! I particularly like how cohesive the graphics were.

Here are a few notes to think about:

1. While the gameplay music was very well composed, the start screen music's melody felt a little dissonant (might just be me though).

2. It wasn't immediately clear to me that the player clicks with the mouse to throw the papers. I had to find out with by pressing random things xD

3. There's a bug where I got stuck on the left side of the road a couple of times and had to spam directional buttons to get unstuck.

I can tell a lot of effort went into making this game and it really shows. Good job! :)

Hey, nicely done! Pretty polished presentation. I had a weird bug after a while where the scooter lifted from the road!

Nitpicking: the main character is cute from the front, but we mostly see him from the back, some detail there would have made it more pleasing to the eye! Warned you, it's really nitpicking!

Thank you for all the feedback!

Fun game, great work. Love the graphics and gameplay

Fun game, reminds me of Pepsiman! I thought the goal was to keep going and dodge the car, it wasn't until my second try that I realised you could throw newspaper at cars (and destroy them!), that was fun :)

mikea 2017-05-12 09:32

Ahah, Fun to play! I wish you could see the direction where you are aiming tho!

glimaleite 2017-05-12 10:57

Congrats on the nice job! Cute graphics and took me back to paperboy days. The fact that I was destroying cars by throwing stuff at them was kinda weird/funny. The achievement system was a nice little touch and shows that you guys were done a little before the jam ended. I'd like to point out that the models are very well done and lovely to look at. The grass texture, however, felt way off.

I'd love to have your feedback if possible, my entry is https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/carefulzilla

Great work, loved the achievement system! I enjoyed hitting the people with the papers! I never could hit that dang dog or the red airplane/bird thing. Solid control feel which I imagine is hard to aim on a rotating world. Good use of the theme, it felt small but still had enough going on to be interesting. Good Job!

josefalanga 2017-05-12 14:07

Paperboy! I liked it a lot, but I didn't understand completly the aiming system for throwing the papers.

Killing birds is fun!

noddingtortoise 2017-05-12 16:30

Fun game, I felt that the graphics and music went very well together and with the game style in general. I like the achievements and score, these add some challenge and replay value to the game. Overall very well done!

sagarpatel25700 2017-05-12 16:42

- Audio and graphics are good . - I like the way you move around a planet (It feels good ) - The best part of this game is even a 2 year child can play and have fun - over all a good game

vodzik 2017-05-12 23:21

Nice! But why there ane no cars on the left side? :P

bomb-x 2017-05-12 23:43

A nice game with simple concept ! I liked it and even wanted to shoot more of those newspaper at people's faces ! Graphics are nice and simple. It only lacked of variety of gameplay, like boosts, or objetives to reach ! But it's only my point of view !

Oh, and i didn't talk about the homemade-voice-sound-effects, didn't have to, way to LEGEND to talk about !

Good job !

potatolain 2017-05-13 13:50

This was a fun game... like paperboy but the aggression against everything is intentional! It's one of those games that has a simple mechanic that's easy to pick up, and fun to master.

I did run into the bug someone else mentioned where I eventually felt the need to leave the world behind. (High score was 621)

Thanks for all the feedback, everybody! :) I agree with all your points. If only we had more than 72 hours to polish. *scratches head*

meenners 2017-05-15 02:21

I love that screenshot lol

carlosvvk 2017-05-15 15:33

Hey there, great game! It's like a paperboy with stress problems. I'm amazed that you could include achievements, that increases a lot the playing time. Well done! :D

mortus 2017-05-16 16:08

Nice and smooth gameplay! It's hard to aim though. I think I've only hit people twice during ~700 points run and never was able to hit a dog (is it possible at all?).

mortus 2017-05-16 16:08

Sorry for the double post, the site is laggy.

diptoman 2017-05-16 19:08

This is pretty sweet. The first time I tried, I stuck to the left, and no energy refill came anywhere after the first three, and no bus came to the left, nothing to "dodge". Next time I tried, no buses still came to the left, although a few refills came so I survived longer hahah. Fun game! But based on that experience: 1. Spawn more stuff to the left. Most of the buses were in the centre. 2. Spawn energy refills (at least one) if the player is low on health. It kind of sucks to have a game over when it's not your fault at all.

Fun little game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf9jH1KZdXw

itzhak-w 2017-05-17 21:37

Nice and quite addictive!

daisy 2017-05-20 19:01

This was a fun little game with quite a bit of polish! Charming style to everything, and pretty juicy when you're slamming newspapers into everything/body! The little detail of the chap wiggling his legs as he rides is a nice touch.

I found it really hard to aim at anything smaller than a car, but perhaps that was just me. It didn't feel like the papers were quite going where I expected, or that the hitboxes were a bit small perhaps.

I like the inclusion of achievements popping in, helps gives a sense of progress whilst you're mopedding around the world. Great stuff! :)
