Great entry! I really liked the low poly art, without a doubt with more details like clouds, flying leaves, wind, a bit of ambient occlusion would look much better xD. The movement of the camera was a bit strange for me and you can't handle the balloon, when I realized that the crows couldn't kill me I dedicated myself only to throwing packages jeje! I would like to see it more polished, congratulations!

hagamosvideojuegos 2023-05-02 17:35

We didn't have any more time to add more things, but we wanted to add a lot of things, more than we could, because of other issues we had. :dizzy_face:

The crows don't kill you, only try to cancel your delivery.

Thank you for playing @emaigualmc2-art !

ethernalstudio 2023-05-02 19:52

Really good game, i cant belive they made such nice camera transitions, and the enviroment is enormous. Really good job.

redfellow 2023-05-02 19:53

cute art, I believe it's laging in my potato but it's a good game

allosius 2023-05-02 20:00

Very cool game, I really like the music, even if a bit redundant after a while, it would lack a bit of polish and feedbacks to better visualize the actions. For example I didn't understand what the crows were doing

kleich 2023-05-02 20:07

Really cute entry! I loved the theme with the mouse and the hot air balloon!

The cinematic camera was a cool idea! Having the balloon drive itself so I could focus on fighting or delivering was nice. Sometimes the camera would lag behind the player for too long and feel disorienting though.

Getting packages in the delivery zones while fighting off crows was a bit hard, often the crows would swarm and I would have to deal with them and then was unable to drop the package at the same time.

Great job!

ethernal-tech 2023-05-02 21:01

Wow el estilo lowpoly que habéis logrado, está muy trabajado. Las mecánicas de entrega y defender el globo son entretenidas. Al principio los controles son un poco liosos, pero en nada te acostumbras y se disfruta de la experiencia! Enhorabuena por el juego!!

thomaspixelart 2023-05-02 21:12

Really cute but I had a hard time aiming with the camera angle changing and was lagging a bit for me. Cute game overall! Congratz to the team!

python-b5 2023-05-02 21:13

The download link seems to have gone down---is it possible something broke in the update (I came here from the blog post)? I'd love to try this game if it can be fixed.

sidlovatt 2023-05-02 21:15

Nice graphics and quite fun to play. My only criticism would be the camera view was occasionally off putting. Overall though a great submission.

acarc 2023-05-02 21:32

I loved the mouse character, but I also like Stuart Little so I might be a bit biased :) Great art style.

drtizzle 2023-05-02 22:15

This is a great looking game! The controls take a bit time to get used to, but they're clear after the first 30 seconds. I wish I could play this in fullscreen, I bet it would look great!

pedrohpf 2023-05-02 23:07

Simple game but pretty fun, it felt like i was watching a movie with some of the transitions, only I could act in it by shooting at birds haha

hagamosvideojuegos 2023-05-03 05:40

To @EthernalStudio ,

Thank you so much! The cameras was a real hell but finally have a good feeling, but need more better settings, about the environment, yes! My partner is a beast! :heart:

To @redfellow ,

The web browser version is more laggy than local version, but specially the first seconds, I need to check it, I don't know why! :(

Thank you so much!

To @Allosius ,

Yes, I like the music too but it's short to this level, we need a musician the next time! About the polish, of course, but was hard to setup and I wasted a lot of time doing it :(

The crows cancel your box delivery, I try to do a mechanic without typical life bar.

Thank you for playing!

to @kleich ,

The camera setup was hell, it needs more tweaking but we wasted a lot of time doing it and we needed to do a lot of other things that, sadly, we couldn't finish polishing because of the damn cameras.

I'm glad you liked it!

to @ethernal-tech ,

¡Muchas gracias! Ojalá nos hubiese dado tiempo a pulir mejor la mecánica de los cuervos y de las cámaras, pero estamos satisfechos con el resultado. ¡Gracias por jugar!

To @thomaspixelart ,

The web browser version is more laggy than local version, but specially the first seconds, I need to check it, I don't know why, and the camera try to have a different experience in different parts trying to shoot!

Thank you for playing!

To @python-b5 ,

Can you check it again? I can see the link, was platform are you searching? Windows or MacOS? (I want to export it to linux too but I have problems, I will try it today)

To @sidlovatt ,

The cameras was a real hell need more better settings but we wasted a lot of time doing it and we needed to do a lot of other things that, sadly, we couldn't finish polishing because of the damn cameras.

Thank you for playing!

To @acarc ,

Thank you so much! Yes, I love the character created by my partner, was a real good job!

To @drtizzle ,

We wanted to put a basic settings but we was out of time, same to initial part explaining how and why shoot and drop boxes.

Thank you for playing!

To @pedrohpf ,

I'm glad you liked it! Thank you for playing!

python-b5 2023-05-03 05:54

@hagamosvideojuegos I'm on Windows. The link just says "Not found" for me.

hagamosvideojuegos 2023-05-03 06:29

Check it again @python-b5 ! I can do it now.

Thank you for your report! I wish you enjoy it! :D

markais 2023-05-03 16:18

Very interesting idea & cool game! I found it difficult to judge where the package will land, a shadow (straight below) the balloon/package would be nice :)

obittner 2023-05-03 16:28

Nice and entertaining game. I think music and visuals really fit in with the whole theme.

I had a few problems with clicking out of the window and sometimes the balloon went out of frame so I could not longer see it.

rebekpew 2023-05-03 17:25

Sorry for the delay but I'm going to answer all of you ^-^:

@emaigualmc2-art Thanks you for playing! ♥ Yep, there are a lot of details to be added. We wanted to implement more house designs and little details but we couldn't give more haha But we are satisfied with the project!

@ethernalstudio Thanks for the support! ♥ We worked hard to make a lot of assets for the environment but we had to focus on many more graphic aspects. Even so, it turned out cool.

@Redfellow Thanks a lot! Sorry for the game performance. We didn't have time for optimization but We're working on that. ♥

@allosius Thank you very much for feedback! ♥

@kleich Thanks a lot for your feedback! ♥ We have to strike a balance between delivering the packages and protecting you from the crows without making it an impossible challenge.

@ethernal-tech Muchas gracias! ♥ Hemos intentado darle vida al mundo aunque faltan muchos detalles que se nos han pasado por falta de tiempo.

@thomaspixelart Thanks you a lot for playing! ♥

@sidlovatt Thank you for the feedback! ♥ Yes, it's a pending task We have to make it look cool.

@acarc Hahah Thanks you a lot! ♥ It was not intentional but it could have been his delivery carrier mouse.

@drtizzle Thank you for playing! ♥ As my partner said the first section We wanted to put a mini tutorial based on small illustrations but due to lack of time We could'nt implement it.

@pedrohpf Thanks you a lot for playing! ♥ That crows only want your delisious cheese! haha

@markais Yes, you are right. We have failed to improve that aspect as it's not very clear. Thanks for the feedback! ♥

@obittner Thank you for playing! ♥ We need to keep an eye on this issue, it's true that sometimes it goes out of plan.

And yes, a lot of hearts for all! \^0^/

ruslana 2023-05-03 18:22

Nice game! I like the music and the mouse the most. Art is very well done and the gameplay is quite polished, everything comes together into a positive mood.

jordan-p20 2023-05-04 15:07

One of the better looking graphical games in the jam. Took my a hot second to realize that you had to hold the buttons to shoot and drop packages but i got there. Camera was a little funky sometimes, in which it would switch to certain angles right as enemies spawned resulting in me not being able to see them. Other than that very solid.

riley9 2023-05-04 18:39

very cute game with an interesting premise! it looks very pretty, i love how you designed the landscape. i think i would have liked more feedback when hitting the crows successfully :3

fidrik 2023-05-04 19:31

cool idea, wonder how it would be if you could move the balloon to different delivery spots

mathead 2023-05-04 19:32

Super nice graphics, even though I had some blue flickering on the textures (I'm on Mac), but it was still playable. The camera transitions were also great!

fis 2023-05-04 19:43

The landscape was really well made! Hitting the crows at the right time and managing to drop the package correctly was pretty difficult, I only managed to deliver 8 packages. I also liked the 3 T-posing mice! (played on windows)

themule 2023-05-06 19:56

Cute game!! I like the camera transition between fixed scene positions, that's pretty neat. I'd suggest adding a shadow so you know where you are, as it's very difficult to tell where you are sometimes in relation to the drop targets. The music totally fits, and the graphics style is nice

sibi 2023-05-06 19:57

I managed to deliver 11 packages :) I love the low poly style and the playful music. Took me a few attempts to figure the drop mechanic out but then it was really cool. Would have loved some more things to do as the downtime between targets was sometimes a bit long (maybe some fuel management? or pick a path?). Also some indicator where your package is gonna drop would be super helpful as the perspective was a bit disorienting at times. Well rounded jam game with just the right scope :v:

usenrame 2023-05-06 20:04

love the game world and delivery route

yoanndeplo 2023-05-06 21:12

9/14, not so bad I think ^^

zgragselus 2023-05-06 22:50

Managed to deliver some, missed quite a bit too.

Played on Windows, ran smoothly - was quick to learn and run. The main problem was missing shadow in some of the camera views - which made hitting some target close to impossible.

I originally had no idea what crows do - then figured it out.

The landscape and details were great.

Great entry overall.

sam-gorman 2023-05-07 04:21

This was really cute, I love the little world you made! Very detailed environment for a game jam. I feel the gameplay could use some more depth - all you really do is drop packages, and the birds don't present much of a threat. And the cinematic camera, while cool, swung around in some weird ways which made it hard to aim. Overall, very unique entry - I like it.

olddog 2023-05-07 15:36

interesting game and cute models ,spent a lot time on this game,nice job!

joao-marcello 2023-05-07 22:46

Cute game!

The work with the graphics were notable and I found the characters very charismatic.

About the gameplay, since we have to drop the packages in the target, would help a lot to allow visualize the shadow even at high altitude.

I did not realize what the crows are for: they seems not inflict damage on player and die very easily.

Overall, a liked this game! Good job, guys!

nature-pixels 2023-05-07 23:17

Nice game, But there are some characters in idle position, which is weird, but overall, nice game!

coatline 2023-05-07 23:35

I like the graphics, they were cute. The music though, was good for the first 2 times I heard it :smiley:. Still better than any music I've made, though I would have loved a toggle button. Also, replacing the music with a more atmospheric ambient nature track could transform the game into a relaxing mouse-floating-in-a-balloon simulator. I like what you did with the camera angles and I did feel like I was on an adventure! Good job!

epicgamefan 2023-05-08 00:52

I enjoyed the simplicity of this game. 2 buttons shoot and drop. The crows were annoying. Few time they attacked me off camera. I enjoyed the scenery from balloon. I bet this was fun to make. Fun entry.

langotriel 2023-05-08 02:20

At first I thought the packages were bombs to drop on the cats :P The game looks beautiful! Many lovely looking art assets. Super impressive that you managed to put such a large 3D world together completely from scratch!

The cherry on top would be a new member added to the team that could make music and sounds specifically for the game! That would really tie it together!

Good work!

macdoom 2023-05-08 05:13

Geniales los gráficos y la música. Mucho estilo con el lowpoly. El embedded de la página no cargó así que tuve que descargarlo. Tampoco pude lanzar encargos, apreté el botón derecho del mouse y todos los demás. Me recordó en cierta manera a los pokemon snapshot. Original!

2023-05-08 07:58

Love the main character's design. I included it in my Ludum Dare 53 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. https://youtu.be/d5bLQmuzzPs

aviv-levy 2023-05-08 14:29

Cute game! Very nice graphics! Didn't run very smoothly on my browser though (chrome).

Some feedback:

- I think the charge time for dropping a package was a bit too long. - It was a bit difficult aiming with some of the angles of the camera. - It would've been really cool if I could control the baloon, although that would probably result in a different kind of game.

Very nice entry, however :)

rodrigo-denubila 2023-05-09 04:14

Very cute game. I really loved the art. Sometimes I found difficult to know if the character is over the target. Maybe if there was a shadow of the ballon or other way to show the position over the ground would be nice. But overall it's a really nice game and a good take on the theme.

amunonra 2023-05-11 22:25

Oh my what a cute game :) I liked the simplicity in it. Just following the track and seeing the tiny landscape you build was already satisfying. The soundtrack fitted perfectly, but could have been a little longer for my taste, felt quite repetitive after a while (though it is really catchy). Sometimes the placement of the crows felt a little punishing, because there wasn't enough time to clear them all. The idea to disturb the player from the otherwise simple delivery mechanic is great, though. I also discovered quite a lot of T-posing cats in the landscape :D

The game is already in a good state and can be even better with some minor adjustments. Keep up the great work :)

tennotako 2023-05-18 16:28

Cute and fun game! Well done :)

rebekpew 2023-05-20 03:52

Hi guys! First of all thanks to all of you who have played our game and your feedback!

Sorry for the delay but again I'll comment to everyone ♥

@ruslana Thank you very much ♥! We still want to polish details to have more finalized the map and gameplay thanks to your feedbacks.

@jordan-p20 Wow! I appreciate you liked the graphics so much ♥! Although We didn't have time to give it much more detail, lights and postprocessing. As for the gameplay We did miss some adjustments to make it more dynamic but We're happy with the concept of the game.

@riley9 Thank you very much ♥! True, details have been missing in that aspect. We have several ideas to solve it thanks to all of you ^-^

@fidrik Thank you ♥! In principle, the mechanics would be about fixed path and the wind would carry you. But we are thinking about adding different paths that the player can choose.

@mathead Thank you very much ♥! I'm glad you liked the graphics! The delivery points are a provisional shader that We couldn't make a final one in time. The camera was a very interesting addition from my partner ^-^

@fis Thank you ♥! We need to balance the system to make it a bit simpler and satisfactory. And as for the characters in T-pose...Unity and I were fighting at the last minute with that xDD

@themule Thank you very much ♥! The shadows are a problem that We haven't been able to fix because of the rush, although We already know where the fault was. We'll fix it!

@sibi Thank you very much! Our idea was to make a tutorial on the first path but We didn't have time.About the hot air balloon speed we had thought of speeding up the areas that were'nt of interest to get faster to the delivery areas but your ideas are interesting! Thanks for the feedback!

@usenrame Thanks for playing ♥! Glad you like it ^_^

@yoanndeplo Not bad! A future delivery little mouse haha Thanks for playing ♥!

@zgragselus As we have commented to others we have missed to polish many details to the gameplay. But we plan to improve it! Thank you very much for the feedback ♥!

@sam-gorman I'm glad you liked the environment. I would have liked to put more details haha. We are thinking about making the gameplay much more dynamic and fun. For the moment it has remained more as a concept. Thanks for playing our game ♥!

@olddog Thank you very much ♥! I'm glad you liked the graphics ^_^ I didn't sleep much but it was worth it ='D

@joao-marcello Thank you very much ♥! We are working on those details. The crows We're planning to make them really annoying and affect the gameplay which is not yet implemented in the gameplay.

@nature-pixels Thank you for playing♥! Yes, that's my fault xDD. They were put in at the last minute. =P

@coatline Thank you very much ♥! I totally agree with you. We also missed to put environmental sound effects, like the waterfall, the forest and the village.

@epicgamefan Yes, that's what we were looking for. A simple and easy to play game but with a lot of things happening in the background. But we did what we could to make it on time. Thanks for give a try our game and feedback ♥!

@langotriel Thanks to play our game ♥! Hahaha originally We wanted to also make you able to attack the evil cats! We have a partner who could do the music for us but he couldn't participate. Maybe in the next jam!

@macdoom Muchas gracias por jugar ♥! Me alegra que te hayan gustado los gráficos y la música. Siento que no te cargase la página, habría que ver si ocurre a menudo. En cuestión a lanzar los encargos, hay que dejar apretado el botón hasta que la barra de la caja se completase. Nos faltó añadir un tutorial más explicativo. Pero se agradece tu feedback!

@jupiter-hadley Thank you very much for playing and for the support you do by sharing ludum dare jam games ♥! I'm glad you like the little delivery mouse ^_^

@aviv-levy Thank you for giving our game a try ♥! We didn't have time to improve the performance so it may give a little fps drop. I agree with those aspects. We want to improve that. As for controlling the balloon it would e

rebekpew 2023-05-20 03:54

*Takes a deep breath of air*

@rodrigo-denubila Thank you very much for playing ♥! I'm glad you liked the graphics. We have detected the problem with the shadows not being cast so we have it pending to fix it. ^_^

@amunonra Thank you very much ♥! I'm glad you like it. I agree with you. That was the whole point of the crows, to annoy you when delivering packages. Although we missed to add some more function to them. The cats in T-pose were my fault haha Unity and I didn't agree at the last minute to put animations on them.

@tennotako Thanks for playing ♥! Glad you like it \^0^/

So tha's it =)

rebekpew 2023-05-20 03:59

PS: If you're interested I'll show you the concepts of the characters and how big the environment is =P LD53-CharConcepts.PNGLD53-Environment.PNG
