This game is amazing!! Seriously so good, the amount of polish is off the charts. Love the graphics, love the sounds. The gameplay is a nice puzzle but not too difficult, and the animations and transitions are absolutely lovely! This is my new favorite game from the jam, I think :thumbsup_tone1:

phanelly 2023-05-02 07:28

Very cute, very cozy and very polished. So nice to play! Some puzzles are very difficult, got stuck on them a number of times! I would have loved to have a restart button to restart the level when I knew that I messed up already. Anyway, super cool game <3

blueanoli 2023-05-02 07:29

I love the music! The art style is awesome! I'd buy this game!

joscco 2023-05-02 07:30

Thank you so much @adam-gaskins and @phanelly! And very good feedback with the restart button @phanelly, that would absolutely have made sense. We will include it in a later version

cloistered 2023-05-02 07:31

Nice game.Polished so well. I like the animation when scence changes.

mololo 2023-05-02 07:32

Awesome game, I had fun completing all the levels. I like the idea and the game looks very polished. Great job!

macibacsi56 2023-05-02 07:37

This game is amazing. The grapihcd, the sounds the puzzle, everything is awesome! :)

morepixels 2023-05-02 07:39

I loved this game so much it was amazing. The puzzles were pretty hard and i didnt even end up finishing them all. I love the art style for this game it is beautiful.

joscco 2023-05-02 07:41

Aww, thank you guys, we're swimming in dopamine ❤️ We're so glad you like it. We'll do a big play session with your games this afternoon after work

andygates01 2023-05-02 07:42

Great levels of polish, nice art and audio and challenging puzzles. As someone else mentioned, a restart button would be nice, but overall really good.

mahjoub 2023-05-02 07:42

Nice entry, with a great level of polish! Well done :v:

Special note for the game level selection, made up nicely!

As suggested previously a restart button would have been appreciated, but it is all fine for the jam :)

benk 2023-05-02 07:47

this is incredibly polished and satisfying and i really want to finish it... but i must be missing something... how do you finish level 3? i get to here using i swear the most economic movements: Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 5.48.49 pm.png

ido 2023-05-02 07:51

Cool concept, amazing art. I'm not sure if the levels are too hard for me or if there are some bugs, please share when someone uploads a full gameplay of your game!

shawn-beck 2023-05-02 07:53

Surprisingly challenging. Love the simple but polished aesthetics.

drapfelwurst 2023-05-02 07:53

This is the best game I have played yet. Super fun, every level gives you something new to experiment with and the levels themselves are really clever. The art and sounddesign are also chefs kiss *.

joscco 2023-05-02 08:04

Thank you all!

@mahjoub: Hehe, glad that you like it! My hubby came up with that idea @benk: Picking up items uses an action too, so deliver the burger before you take the sushi. Also: You don't have to deliver items to the front door, delivering it from the right to the building works too ^^ @ido: Thank you so much! We playtestet it yesterday evening before uploading, so hopefully all levels should be solvable :D (hopefully! I haven't tested it after upload completely)

shreemp 2023-05-02 08:05

@benk no stop i got mini-stuck on level 3 too lmao for some reason i kept thinking you can only deliver food _in front_ of the buildings, but you can deliver it from the side too.

The art was so cute tbh and after getting over my own brain fog i managed to get to the end it was a very fun puzzle romp <3

bp321 2023-05-02 08:07

I was surprised at the high perfection! Art style is cute XD

joscco 2023-05-02 08:14

@bp321 Mafia Game with cute art style, we like that 🔫🫀^^

kaptajnen 2023-05-02 08:14

Really nice puzzle game! And the art style is absolutely wonderful

stingby12 2023-05-02 08:27

The realistic heart at the thumbnail made me really sick... But other than that it's just standard delivery.

Also is the 4th level even possible ? You have to do everything in 12 actions somehow... 10 subs.png

joscco 2023-05-02 08:36

Be patient @stingby12, more interesting cargo will come with higher levels. I don't want to give solutions here, but did you realise you do not have to deliver all items? And maybe picking up the second pizza at last is good here because you have to travel a longer way with it...

pauljs 2023-05-02 08:58

Damn that's a really complete game and works well congrats! The only feedback i have is that using arrow top and bottom for delivery is confusing, since i tought it was the arrow i was supposed to press on my keyboard to get/deliver the delivery! My brain had a bit of hard time to stop processing like that!

Aside from that, very well polished and complete game!

louiejams 2023-05-02 09:10

Really lovely game! I really liked the graphics used and the music was a good fit for the puzzle genre. I found the levels I did play to be quite easy to understand satisfiying when figuring out the answer!

polinachrr 2023-05-02 09:42

Very special and good game!

stingby12 2023-05-02 10:25

@joscco The plot twist I "never" saw it coming.

beast-pixels 2023-05-02 11:05

Very nice. Art, music and gameplay fit well together. Puzzles are simple at first but get tricky later.

fuse-in-a-bowl 2023-05-02 11:23

Stunning art, this oozes with polish! I really liked being tricked into visiting "my friends" in one of the later levels.

I didn't enjoy the tip system at first. It felt like it added complexity for no reason, but then you go on to use it to create interesting puzzles. I wonder if I'd enjoy it more if the starting puzzles didn't have tipping and later levels (like 3+) introduced it.

Fantastic job, great execution!

humanisred 2023-05-02 11:51

Really like the mood and the puzzles of this game! Reminds me of old cozy mobile games about delivery that I used to play! My only feedback is that the use of the mouse seems unnecessary, since the rest of the game is played with just keys. Other than that, great little game!

joscco 2023-05-02 11:58

Thank you all, especially @pauljs, @fuse-in-a-bowl and @humanisred for the constructive feedback!

@pauljs: Ah I see your problem. We wanted to make clear which house was a supplier and which a consumer. Maybe using arrows here wasn't the best indicator. We'll think of another solution in the next version! If you've got a nice idea which doesn't overload the UI, let us know!

@fuse-in-a-bowl: We indeed cannot avoid the "tip system" completely since it delivers a lot of possibilities to form puzzles. Mh, we'll think about how we can maybe introduce this a bit later. I mean sushi is cold anyway, we could stop using the freshness indicator there maybe...

@humanisred: That is very good feedback. Changing from mouse to keyboard to mouse annoyed me too during development. We will make the game keyboard-only-accessible in the next version after the jam. Also: Your game looks super cool, I can only repeat

qwillak 2023-05-02 12:26

Awesome game! I really like intro animation. Very cute level system. Also cute and sweet UI and graphics at all! 4th level is too hard. I'am still can't get it.

Game is very intresting and challanging My respects to developers❤

joscco 2023-05-02 12:40

@qwillak Thank u! Yeah, we should probably either give a hind for level 4 or push change its order :D

3mpty 2023-05-02 12:57

Amazing presentation and great work submitting a playable puzzle game. Difficulty curves and teaching moments are really hard to get right on puzzle games, and I think while this game stumbles a bit, it still does admirably for a jam.

The art and music are outstanding, and the gameplay is buttery smooth which is super great. Love to see it, and I'm jealous at the level of polish you've got here!

jonrei 2023-05-02 13:17

This was real nice :) Took me a little while before i understood that i actually just need to hit the goal on the bar, not deliver everything. Thanks for the link :)

abipup 2023-05-02 13:18

The graphics r super cute i luv it..!!!

elisagonda 2023-05-02 13:23

awesome game!! loved the puzzle style and the art, so fun to play it makes you wanna play more and more levels!

also i really needed a restart button instead of spamming keys once i noticed i messed up! and there was a lvl where i didnt delivered a pizza but i won anyway, could it be a bug? (or maybe i didn't understand that level)

Anyways very good work!<3 congrats

vidu 2023-05-02 15:13

What an awesome game ! So beautifull, challenging and polish ! Love it ! Congrats !!

joscco 2023-05-02 15:22

Thanks for the compliments! @elisagonda: The retry button is indeed the first thing we'll add after the jam. And just like @jonrei remarked: You don't always have to deliver all items. Sometimes there even isn't a consumer for an item that can be supplied

spacespytv 2023-05-02 16:30

Eughhhh so goooood! I love the art, too adorable, all the mechanics are so well implemented and clever, I have no complaints, brilliant work.

hellhound 2023-05-02 16:40

What an incredible chill game! Love the Artwork and Mechanics + Music fits very well!

kongo 2023-05-02 18:00

Best puzzle game so far! Really liked it :smiley: It would be awesome if I could reset level with keyboard.

spacey3d 2023-05-02 23:57

Really nice polished look and catchy song. I liked how it seemed so simple at the start and then added more features which was funny but also really helped with the learning curve. Nice one!

split82 2023-05-03 07:25

Very nice graphics and super polished. Also quite hard. I like that you don't need to deliver everything, just earn the money, which makes it quite unique in terms of puzzle design. Great job.

mkraw 2023-05-03 07:26

Very well polished game, good work!

aschab 2023-05-03 07:29

As everyone else has pointed out, most polished game so far. Fun mechanics and interesting puzzles. I can see myself actually paying for 200 levels of this

joscco 2023-05-03 07:34

@kongo: You will get that mate!

@aschab: Nah, stop it you... *starting to blush*

fodi 2023-05-03 07:43

The art style, animations and audio are top notch! The mechanics are fairly easy to grok, I only had to consult the readme on level 4 for a minute, which is totally fine. My only annoyance is that I have to use two input devices, but I saw that you're going to change that post-jam, so there you go :)

poppy-entertainment 2023-05-03 07:56

that's really a nice game, fun and intuitive

kingzero 2023-05-03 08:59

Some concepts were a bit unintuitive at first but as the game went on became second nature. Good solid puzzles and a great presentation.

5huno-3 2023-05-03 10:49

Great art and fun gameplay! After around level 4, the puzzle started to get difficult.

2023-05-03 11:54

beautiful game with amazing gamefeel and a pretty interesting game design and a challenging gameplay, very impressive for a game that's made in 3 days in every aspect of it!

mashupgames 2023-05-03 12:39

Very fun game! Loved the artstyle, and the gameplay offers a lot of fun challenging puzzles. Think it could be more apparent that you don't need to deliver all the food, I got stuck for a very long time because I couldn't figure this out. But you expanded on the idea well with the traffic lights and the dog, good entry!

naixgames 2023-05-03 13:33

It was an incredibly fun game and concept. Also one of the most close to the theme I have seen. The music was good and the graphics fit really well. Congrats on a really good game!

Now some complains :P.

A thing that really annoyed me is that it was impossible to deliver all the food on some levels. I guess this design was to mislead to make the player think beyond the obvious (and it worked, so kudos for that!) but it was also really annoying to make it totally impossible. Maybe give the player some extra movement when they had hit the money goal so they can go back and finish? I don't know what the good call would be while still maintaining the integrity of the puzzles.

Finally, a restart button would be nice. I tried looking for one but couldn't find one.

greenphox 2023-05-03 13:35

very nice one! Well polished and nice puzzles. I didn't understand the coin mechanic and that I didn't have to deliver everything. I had to go to the comments and see someone else complaining about level 4 and to see your answer. Nice one, well done!

joscco 2023-05-03 13:47

Thanks for the positive feedback y'all!

Special thanks to @fodi, @mashupgames, @naixgames and @greenphox for remarking what annoyed you. That's very valuable.

We can see that we went a bit too far with the superfluous items in some levels. We'll use less of them with in next version.

For the missing restart button, keyboard actions and the devilish levels 4 and 11: Top priorities for the post-jam version

joscco 2023-05-03 13:47

Also: Very cool avatar image @mashupgames

fnkee 2023-05-03 18:07

Fantastic puzzle game; beautiful music, great art assets, amazing mechanics and very thoroughly executed! Impressive work!

wouter52 2023-05-03 19:35

Yess! I figured out all 13 of them! That was a fun game! The graphics, sound, puzzles and feel are top notch. The difficulty curve felt right too, with the exception of the 4th level, I was stuck there a long time. It teached a valueable lesson though! Well done!

nivbeth 2023-05-03 22:46

Wow this is the best entry I've seen so far in this LD. Perfectly fitting to the theme, wonderful graphics and very well polished. The puzzles are awesome, as well. I really loved it :heart: Thanks for this cute game.

mreliptik 2023-05-04 08:31

Lovely game! It fits the theme nicely, the art is cute and the audio is cool. Congrats for your entry :)

jaximusq 2023-05-04 09:54

Very great entry. It's so clean (art, code, level design ...) ! Adding mafia delevery is very fun =)

weirdbitgames 2023-05-04 16:35

What's with so many games with such amazing music this jam?! Your use of smooth jazz was also excellent! The graphics were cute and well made, as were the puzzles! I had a blast playing this one. Overall, great work!

joscco 2023-05-04 17:06

Thank you all so much! We're so thrilled to see all these amazing games in this jams and get your positive feedback for our game as well ^^

@weirdbitgames: Thanks man! Some french friends of mine gave me strong bossa nova vibes during the last months and I reaaaally wanted to incorporate that into a game. And since I'm not very good at making up rhythms myself, also some kudos to this guy here for his video on how to make a classic bossa nova beat:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asvM7cyHp3I

dongle 2023-05-06 04:02

Wow, I have to say this game is absolutely fantastic! It's so much fun and each level presents new and exciting challenges to tackle. The creativity behind each level design is truly impressive! And don't even get me started on the stunning art - it's just gorgeous!

yellow 2023-05-06 04:53

I have seen this' big heart 'many times on the homepage!

It's great! This is the best game I have played so far in LD53! Art is my favorite style. And the most rare thing is that the completion level of this game is too high! Very good work! monkey.gif

yasmeen 2023-05-06 10:53

Incredibly polished art and game overall! Fantastic job! For the UI I would sometimes get confused, for example I would see the down arrow and press down to drop something off when I should have actually pressed right - maybe try using different symbols for the pick-up/drop-off?

potkirland 2023-05-06 17:06

pizzas.jpg

Great puzzle one of the best puzzle levels I ve seen in the jam so far! beautiful art. only thing is I somehow missed that we just need to get to the money and didn't have to deliver all the deliveries until level 3 and got stuck there a bit. The level did its job and thought me that :laughing:

megrez 2023-05-07 06:49

美术真是太太太赞啦!完成度特别高!非常棒!The art is so awesome! The finish is exceptional! Nice job!

fedora 2023-05-08 16:23

Lovely puzzle game! Took me a while to figure out on level 4 that I didn't need to deliver the last sushi. Maybe having a level that exclusively teaches that would have been good. UI work and music are amazing :smile:

petronus 2023-05-08 16:31

What a great game - I loved everything. Can imagine playing this on mobile. It really encouraged to play through. Great job!

milq 2023-05-08 16:52

Wow! incredible! And made by only one person! And hilarious! I find it spectacular. Those graphics, that music, how well everything is done, those transitions between different parts of the game, all full of details right down to the pizza boxes as levels. It seems to me a game that to have been made in 72 hours seems to me a serious game, my most sincere congratulations, really.

kleinzach 2023-05-08 17:47

Really well put together. Great presentation. The mechanics can be a little hard to parse with all of the timings which makes planning harder then it feels like it should be, but overall I really like it!

amolker 2023-05-09 23:22

Nice game! Everyting fits great. Would be nice to have restart button somewhere closer :) Interesting that levels can be beatten in different ways.

orangesurprise 2023-05-10 23:56

You really managed to make a nice whole package with this game, everything fits so well together and loved the twist on it! Really enjoyed playing it, great job! :)

bqq 2023-05-10 23:58

Very polished game! I really appreciate the shady progression of the game, really deepens the experience versus grinding the same mechanics for the whole time. Only wish the hint dialogues wouldn't appear when restarting the level, otherwise flawless execution!

thomas-karcher 2023-05-11 08:47

Simply amazing! I didn't think anyone could excel in *all* categories, but this is now the second game I just have to give 5 stars for everything. (First one was https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53/beelivery-1)

chris1919 2023-05-12 02:37

Very polished game. The puzzles were great and paced very well. Awesome job

python-b5 2023-05-12 07:31

Super polished and well-designed. Just excellent work. This could definitely be expanded into a full game.

It would be nice to have a Windows version with fullscreen support.

aviv-levy 2023-05-12 16:59

Hi! First of all, this is one of the most polished games I played this jam! Seriously great job. The art, sfx & bgm are fantastic and the whole experience is really well made. I still have a bit of feedback though :)

- Level 3, took me a moment to figure out you can deliver from the side of a building! - Pressing two directions at once seems to move diagonally (the actions still count correctlly but for a moment I thought you could move diagonally for the same cost). - I think the buttons should change color when focused, I accidentally sent myself back to the level selection a bunch of times (I kept pressing the arrow keys as the menu popped up... XD)

Other than that, I think the puzzles get a bit too challenging too fast, I stopped at level 4 unfortunately (I did try to solve it a bunch of times before giving up). Maybe the difficulty curve can be adjusted a bit. Might retry this later though.

Anyway, now I crave me some Pizza. ;)

nerdyherbivore 2023-05-12 21:03

SO POLISHED! Wish you had time for an ending, but everything else felt clean. The music was such a bop too!
