the anxiety that starts building up when you see a house that you aren't going to yet start shaking is great. big fan of the pixelated design. although i found myself being overwhelmed with packages rather abruptly, good game

Well done, fun to play. The mixed up mail was a brilliant idea :D. Nice ideas of revealing levels and angry green spirits.

This game is really fun! It's paced well, and definitely stressful when you have a bunch of mail that needs to be delivered. It forced me to come up with a strategy to get them all out as fast as possible. And I love the level design with the ladders going to different levels to make it even more difficult to get to where you're going.

AND it quite literally fits the theme of going deeper and deeper. Just amazing all around.

Everything about this game was awesome, great job!

Damn, this is a lot of fun! Its such a fun idea and that idea was executed so well! The entire thing is amazing!

Pretty fun, got very stressful when you're at the bottom with barely any post left and yet there are lots of houses above you shaking. I kept forgetting the paths to different houses so I couldn't quickly design a route in my head given the post I had.

Also quick note: My laptop screen is 1366x768, so the floating letter tutorial thing at the top right ended up below the post progress bar UI.

Great job!

Wow, very original and innovative idea, and the gameplay is quite addictive too!

I think this is a wonderful jam entry that is pretty well polished! Not sure if anyone else had the same, but there were two instances where the two an from numbers were swapped and I only found out when the other house started to shake

I really enjoyed this! The circles of hell-themed levels were really nice, and it was neat how they each had their own scenery. I really appreciated how missing a letter didn't make you instantly lose, but just added a new mechanic of enemies to avoid once you got to the late game. The progression felt very good, as you had to go further and further each time, and having the 666 letter from the very beginning made the payoff for winning feel really satisfying. Awesome entry!

Took me some time to figure out how everything worked and then I could not get the second set of mail out before I died :( Seems to be a me-problem tho since so many seem to have gotten far haha. But clever concept and cool graphhics!

Mechanics and visuals are really solid. I think dying from a single touch is a bit too punishing, especially given how little the player can do againts the enemies. Finally, a little tiny bit of sound/music would make it feel way more polished but overall and given that it is your first jam, well done!
