Whoa cool game! Really great graphic, and nice character)

northerndonut 2021-04-27 10:37

Enjoyed the game, really cool design, maybe add in a way to exit the game

For some reason the controls bugged a bit for me, making it sometimes impossible to turn.

cavedens 2021-04-28 18:20

A bit of unresponsive controls but overall the mood and visuals looked great. Good job!

holtzzy223 2021-04-28 19:43

@jitspoe Hey thanks, i pushed a fix for the bugged pathing and controls!

I played with A/D (after the fixes). Took me a bit to understand what to do, it's basicly a endless runner where you switch lanes to dodge traps and such. Every now and then an enemy pops up that you need to defeat. Even the game mechanism is super simple, the atmosphere of the game kept me on the edge of my chair dodging spikes, wondering what would be next. I managed to deliver the package to the Demon lord, so another happy customer!

holtzzy223 2021-04-28 21:02

@roidz Thanks for playing! glad you got the delivery done!

holtzzy223 2021-04-29 12:53

@northerndonut thanks for playing!

holtzzy223 2021-04-29 14:19

@cavedens yeah the controls were really broken outside of the engine.. i was able to rework and push out a fix for it so the game is actually playable :)

Love the feeling you get as a postman delivering the last package for his day down into the depths of hell. The atmosphere and the music are spot on. Love this game. A transition between lanes would really reduce the jitteryness. Great job!

holtzzy223 2021-04-30 01:21

@krassenstein Thanks! yeah could of definitely doen at least a lerp on the movement for sure!

Thanks for submitting! I hope my in-stream feedback was helpful!

honest-dan 2021-04-30 21:16

Why did you not show me what was in the package?! WHY!!

I enjoyed meeting the Demon Lord, however! Be good if there was some ramp up of mechanics over time, as it felt like each layer was more of the same. (my game had the same problem!)

Has some cool graphics, and love the mood, the basic gameplay being on rails and similar to those old handheld lane change racing games was interesting, was way too slow to be any sort of challenge though. Didn't particularly like the combat, no real feedback to tell if you're doing the correct thing or not, seemed like pure random chance, IMHO the game would have been better without it.

ellipsis 2021-05-02 05:36

Great idea -- nice twist on the theme! In addition to the other feedback, I think that adding some spooky/action background music would add a lot of value to your game. Keep it up!

pedrocoden 2021-05-03 11:20

Nice game!

michaelyount 2021-05-03 14:11

Good job here, nice work.

holtzzy223 2021-05-03 17:26

@pedrocoden thanks so much for playing!

holtzzy223 2021-05-03 17:26

@michaelyount thanks!

holtzzy223 2021-05-03 17:28

@ellipsis thanks for the input and thanks for playing! there is a bit of BGM but some variations and more sounds would be great

viperux 2021-05-03 18:24

I liked the idea of the postman that have to deliver the package to the "Demon Lord" through his dungeon. The game and the mechanic are simple, the music and the darkness made the atmosphere. I would have liked faster staircase at the beginning of every level and a more "dungeon style" approach (maybe with corners, sideways, doors that opens and let you pass through). As I read on other comments I didn't liked much the combat... seemed a bit random. I never dodged one and just press "punch" as fast as I could.

Anyway well done with your submit :-)

holtzzy223 2021-05-03 18:44

@viperux thanks :)

Saw it on stream, then played the windows version. I really liked the ending, and the art was cool (especially the lemon peoples). The obstacles were pretty close to each other, but it was manageable !

holtzzy223 2021-05-03 21:11

@thegreenworm thanks for playing! @hittri is a great artist :)

Demon lord should pay pretty low rent for such place.

tentaclemax 2021-05-14 22:00

Visuals are very funny! Nice game!
