The game seems to get really hard really quickly. I like the music though!

Not bad. Art could use some work though

Entertaining game, as has been said the art could use some work. Is there a way to sort the list of letters you are carrying?

bovandenberg 2018-08-13 15:44

i realy like the colors you used

thomas-den-hollander 2018-08-13 15:48

@ravenflame Not really, the idea is that you can strategically pickup the letters to deliver them more quickly. Thanks for the feedback!

Although it's hard to keep up after a short while, it well suits the theme. New mail could appear on houses only, instead of grass, as right now it looks like there was a very clumsy mailmain working before you trying to get the mail between the residents, and lost all of it in the plants.

Good

Fun to play :D Only one thing was bothering me, when you pick up letters they get added from the top. So when i was trying to deliver my topmost letter and i ran over another one i had to abort my mission and go to that house first ^^ Maybe i'm just a bad mailman!

Pretty cool entry! Some of the graphics, like the character graphics and anims, could use some work- I liked the idea behind it all. I think some kind of system where you couldn't walk through letters if your inventory was full would be cool (maybe a points system or something, I dunno) cus that would make everything increasingly complicated, might be a little closer to the theme. Nice music too!

That was a challenge! I liked the music you had in the background and the audio cues when things happened were good. Game play wise, I wish the letters were treated like a FIFO queue instead of FILO. That's a more intuitive way to do it so that if I'm traveling to a destination to deliver a letter, I don't have to worry about avoiding accidentally picking up a new letter (which sometimes can't be avoided if it appears right in front of you). I would also have liked a game over screen showing me how many letters I got before failing. Overall though, nice job!

Really nice game! i think the elements fit well together, the fact that u can only deliver the uppermost letter forces u to think about how to optimize your path and so on. really nice. As mentioned above it gets impossible after a short while though =) nice music and fitting graphics, Good job!

Well done on the game, the music and sounds were solid and the gameplay was all there and fit the theme. Good job!

Great graphics and the audio really helps you get into the game.

Collecting letters felt satisfying. You choose nice colors for the art in my opinion, the only thing missing perhaps was character animation. And a bit clearer sense of progress. Good work!

Cool

A relaxing game! Graphics and music matches the game very well. The whole game is great. Well done!

If you keep on working, consider adding more complex mechanics.

The music is great considering the short amount of time you had to make it. The concept of the game is pretty neat. As it is, there is not much to it, but I think the overall concept has a lot potential to incorporate some interesting strategy. Good work.

This is fantastic! Really charming art style and music - I love the variety of houses. The gameplay's simple but fun - I started to try to strategize but the pace picked up too fast so I just ended up dashing between houses at random. Great work!

quorusa 2018-08-20 23:25

Really good game ! Music and pictures are very fun. I like your game ! :D

I enjoyed this small game. Small things like diagonal movement sprite show attention to detail. The music is very good too. Overall it does feel like a game, good job!

joschi 2018-09-02 19:21

Nice little game you have there! I like small finished and polished games like yours more than big unfinished ones. Graphics and sound fits perfect!

I like the fetchquest. though it really annoyed me that despite the stress of time, I couldn't just deliver any of my letters but only the top one..which changed if I picked up another letter xD

I like the house designs but especially the grass there. and music.
