Absolutely loved this game. The animations were so cute, and the music was fun. I especially loved that you could customize your character. Only thing I was not a fan of was not being able to jump over the river.

Oooh I love the art direction and feel of this game! What a delightfully well put together LD Game! The movement was smooth and I enjoyed the feeling of gliding and hopping along the ground delivering my packages while a swarm of cops tried to simultaneously shoot and tackle me. A really satisfying premise and charming models and animations that gave it a really polished feel! Excellent work! ◊
Love the graphics, the song fits the chaotic gameplay very nicely and the general game loop is nice and feels fun to play. The only thing I didn't like quite as much was the slipperyness of the player character. Other than that, really fun, well made game.
@honeyhop yeah, jumping over the river would've felt really good! If we'd had a bit more time maybe we could've got that to work!
@briibot thanks for the kind words, I found it particularly funny when the police would dive at you and intercept a bullet, as if they were protecting you
@initialposition yeah, still getting the hang of rigid body based player movement, you're totally right that it's slippy right now, room for improvement! Thanks for the feedback! 😄
Wow. High scoring, good game. Visibility was tough at times, but i'm not sure if that was intended or not.
Wow this was really coo!! Loved the art and the tutorial/character customization. This felt really polished
Looks great! Searching where the next parcel spawned is a bit tedious...
I had a lot of fun with this and I love that I could customize my character. When I played I couldn't find more than two mailboxes and they seemed to run out of packages after a while. Maybe I just didn't wait long enough!
Visually stunning, nice gameplay, and loved the meta jokes on military guys!
THANK YOU for a proper tutorial! It doesn't take much to provide important instructions within a game and you did it very well. Cute concept and take on the theme. Good polish and overall great entry!
Really liked this game, the art, music and whole gameplay is amazing. I enjoyed playing it and I plan to play it again later. Very good job guys.
@01fe7e Yeah, we always manage to run out of time before properly balancing our levels in these jams, the postboxes need some tuning for sure. Right now there's three postboxes in each map, and after a while only one of them will have a package to pick up, so you kinda have to hunt around to find it.
If we had a bit more time, we would've added more postboxes so you had a bit more choice!
Wow... The game is absolutely amazing! Very funny, very polished! Evwrthing what needed, tutorial, character costumization, humour, mood, setting, pause menu!
Maybe I will add a map or radar where mailboxes or mails are, but still is very very very good!
@szatku You're totally right, there needs to be a map - hopefully this can help! game-map.png
Wow, this is an absolutely amazing work, everything is great in this game, the concept, the art, the sounds, the level design. The controls are a bit slippery but it does not bothered me that much when playing the game and a see-through shader would have been amazing when going behind walls but I can't complain, there's already so much in it and you even made small cutscenes and customization. Well done!

Hey, Thanks for playing our game! I love how everything is structured. Title Screen, Tutorial, Main Game, Sandbox. It all looks and feels very pleasant. Too bad you didn't have someone to specifically write music for this game.. but what you picked out does fit!
I was getting annoyed at first having to find out which Postbox has the next package but once I learned all 3 positions, it was fine. I wish there was some kind of advantage you can get per package instead of just having more enemies on screen the farther you go.
Loved the enemy animation btw lol!!
this is so cute if not horrifically prescient. theres just so much polish, i mean you got a dang ccharacter customisation and enemy cutscenes. fine work!

YOU HAVE A CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION!? WOW! Well done! The music was great and the control fluid. Still laughing like a crazy lady at this and I don't know why XD
Wow, awesome game! Dunno how you had time to add _character customization_ in a jam! And on top of that, the rest of the game is super well done too. Love the music track - very catchy. Also, lol at "please imagine we had time to animate this" :-D
Really great entry, with a good tutorial. I hope you continue to work on it!
Very cool game! I liked the idea and the way you finally realized it. I aggree with previous commenters, that a minimap would have been nice, but still the game is very fun. Cool simple style and animations, catchy choice of music, different enemies, a little story, smooth controls, . . . Great work!
This is easily the most polished LD game I've ever seen. It's pretty crazy you managed to add character customisation and an interactive tutorial in the time, well done! I liked everything about it and I can definitely see a lot of potential with the harder difficulty modes (normal feels too easy). My one complaint is that it was sometimes hard to work out where the next parcel was so I was running around the map aimlessly but other than that nice work!
Great game, looks very polished already! AND IT HAS CHARACTER CUSTOMISATION? I even liked the music (too bad you guys opted out for the audio)
Maybe you can improve on the camera angles since sometimes it's completely blocked and you can't see the player?
Still definitely one of the best games i've played in the jam so far... Also loved the military dudes and imaginary cutscene 🤩

Thanks for the nice feedback everyone! The character creator actually wasn't super difficult in the end, took about four hours to implement.
All of the "clothes" are just scaled up body parts, so the artwork didn't take much time - it's mostly just the UI that took some work.
Thank goodness for DOTween, made everything feel so much more polished!
This is phenomenally well polished for a jam game, amazing work. I would have like to have some indicator as to which post boxes were able to be collected from as running to a postbox to find it was empty was kind of annoying. Aside from that, brilliant stuff, please continue to work on this!
