Lots of fun once I figured out the throwing mechanic. And cute too!
Good game, I really like the art style
Now this game, is absolutely amazing. The Animation of the dissapearing ghost is definitely S tier. The mechanic of jumping on your parcels is innovative and fun. And the amount of high quality Art that you have created here is awesome. +The soundtrack is lovely and fits the atmosphere perfectly. 5s all around.
Solid music, lovely art style. A bit of hints would help btw.
Wonderful visuals and music and it's pretty satisfying to jump and throw things around. There's a part after delivering an oblong package where you jump up and land on a platform that is the length of the screen, and unfortunately I keep somehow clipping through it when missing a jump, and I can't get back up above it.
@hood Thanks for the feedback, unfortunately we ran out of time to add hints. I updated at least the description to include the complete controls
It was very funny. I liked that if you have things with you, then you jump heavier and lower and you need to throw heavy boxes or use them as platforms.
Great visuals, I like the music as well, really sets the mood. It's a chill and unique game, I had a few softlocks here and there (when you fall at a super high speed you can get through platforms and get trapped), but other than that, I found the experience pretty good - the whole jumping and throwing is fun!
Great art style and cool game in general! Nice music too. My only complain would be: if players drops from really far away it an glitch through the blocks and get stuck. Anyway, great job with the game!
Very interesting idea! Only thing I have to comment on is there appears to be a bug where if you shoot the box at the start you will clip through the floor and fall for all infinity
This is awesome, love the overall atmosphere, art style and music are both great and a give off a fun, spooky vibe. I really enjoyed playing it and think there's a lot of potential here! Using the big box at the end to make a path was a really clever touch and just the weight based jumping itself was really well designed too. Amazing job, one of my favourites so far!
Good game, loved the atmosphere :) art and music are very nice and jumping around feels satisfying. great job!
A cool little game, I like the mechaninc of using the tall packages to climb higher, I feel like the movement could be a bit smoother, like you could move left and right a little faster. The artstlye is nice and the music seems fitting. All in all a solid entry, well done!
so cuuute, enviroment was great, music was great, animation was great, i really liked it! good job <3
Everything is super nice! Great music, visuals, controls and mechanics. Only problem I had was that the background element at the edges of the screen would draw on top of the platforms (making them hard to see). I was playing the itch.io version. :)
An interesting platformer with delivering parcels to ghosts. Unfortunately, at one point I didn't manage to go far, because I didn't jump to any of the following platforms even without having boxes with me. Apparently this is due to the fact that I did not take a large square box with me, and after that access to it was closed.
Graphics and music are very nice. I was pleased with the dependence of the height of the jump on the load of the character.
Awesome visuals and a really fitting music. The whole game is like a little art piece - I just adore your color palette. And a definite +1 for a lounging cat :smiley_cat:
The many things you can do with the boxes are great, unique and well-implemented. I bet the clients are not really happy with our treatment of their precious packages, but who asked them :wink:. Platforming is challenging but not frustrating - I was falling quite a lot, but had fun with it.
Really nicely done!
A fun and pretty game. The very high jumping by the character was super fun. Throwing boxes was fun and very useful once I got the hang of it.
What a pretty game! The graphics look really awesome and the sound effects and music fit really good. I also like the jumping and throwing mechanics. It reminds me a little bit about Jump King.
Unfortunately I got stuck right after the third checkpoint, because there were some platforms to the right and a smoll one to the left. I was not able to jump that far to the right and the platforms above were too far away.
However I had a lot of fun until that point, so all in all you made a really awesome game! Congratulations :)
@stmatn Thank you for the feedback. You are supposed to use the boxes as aid to get accross! I suggest to try again and have fun :smile:
The graphics are impressive, love the starting area with the cat. The audio is quite solid too.
The mechanics of platforming & throwing boxes that have different effects is quite interesting, but it's not clear at all at first as to what each kind of box do and the game is too short to make much use of those different mechanics (though that's kinda normal with jam games).
Also a small nitpick but the bricks in the foreground tend to hide the platforms that are near the side which is a bit annoying.
A challenging running/jumping game. Very unusual mechanics — I like the idea of having the packages serve as instruments for delivery. The difficulty of this game is beyond my ken, alas, but nonetheless I find the graphics and music to be very appealing. Together they create a wonderful mood. A solid entry that no doubt will rank well in the end.
