This is a great game and I really wanted to enjoy it, but the sensitivity was through the roof for me. Pressing +/- didn't seem to do anything, and even after turning my mouse to it's lowest sensitivity setting, it was still pretty much unplayable. I'd highly recommend adjusting the effect of the +/- aim speed setting to have a much lower minimum setting!
Thanks @fishy-f1shy, I'm going to check the inputs first thing tomorrow. I think it is a keyboard localization problem, try with "[" and "]" or +/- on the NumPad.
@ironcutter +/- on the numpad worked! I'm surprised I didn't think of that... oops. I'd still try to make sure both +/- keys work. I'm glad I can play the game now!
Gameplay is fun as hell. The audio and music slap really hard. I love the cardboard cutouts for the graphics and I think everything in the game should've been cardboard cutouts. I can also verify that I am now an Unwanted Postman professional:

This was really fun to play! The graphics and the sfx are great. The gameplay was a really cool take on the theme. I didn't think delivering spam would be so hard! I also didn't think anything was wrong with the sensitivity and I didn't try to adjust it. I was really impressed when the dog popped up. Well done!
@exilon you slayed it dude! Thanks for the kind words @pbluke. I'm glad you liked it!
Very fun game! Simple but challenging. I love the cardboard-cartoony style, I now want all the aim trainers to have it too! Good job! :)
Incredible game, nice graphivd and sound. Simple but fun, there were some misconceptions but overall very nice. Keep it up...
Very interesting game，Simple gameplay and minimalist art style，It would be more fun if the translation game could add more levels and incorporate an upgrading system.
138k spams done!
Gosh we have to start creating some success metric for our game as well, since it's making any game so funny :smile:
Do like the humor mood & music and overall feeling like you are on some physical playground spamming mails out of a gun or somethin :smirk: A good implementation, guys!
Thanks for playing! @micheleleva @ethernalstudio
@leking I agree, more levels would be great. You could trigger those with more "fill to start" mail boxes. About powerups I can only think of a score multiplier (combo meter?) and a slow time for this kind of game.
@erlioniel another pro spammer! There is even a (disabled) online leaderboard UI on the wall behind the player, but I couldn't find the time to hook it up :/
Overall simple but great game! Loved audio and physics of spam :D
This was really fun! Didn't get the purpose of the yellow guys until the end of my first run but that's probably just my fault :sweat_smile:
Not the easiest one to put spam in one's mouth, but a very amusing shooting range overall! Need some reference to Monty Python's SPAM sketch here maybe.
Really funny idea! Music-choice is top notch! The gameplay is easy to understand and everything works together well! I like it very much!
Damn that was great fun! Easy to understand and really addicting :thumbsup:
This was very fun to play! Really want to see a professional Valorant player play this.
Gameplay is really fun and I like the audio. It gets boring pretty fast, a bit more variety in the play would be fun and something like countering attacks. Good job!
this game is really fun! The shooting mechanic feels super polished and responsive. The art is simple but excellent and I loved the music too. Congrats! (Perfect game to have a leaderboard)
Very funny game. I did not understand the controls (+/-) think you can choose other keys. Graphics and audio was great and I love that when you turn around you can see other targets in the corner. Funny detail
Ha! This is a fun game. The :dog: doesn't seem to like me very much. Such anger :smile:
A very innovative game and well executed. The music, the sound effects and graphics are all nicely done.
Great game!
**UPDATE >>** Updated version with **online leaderboard** available on itch.io! **<<** Thank you very much! @oleksunder @foggydude @magicstunts123 @coffeemakingtoaster @cresceda @sonofsofaman @ardorugus thank you! I didn't know the sketch and it was super funny! ...maybe I will add some kind of easter egg :D @barce thank you! The leaderboard was already halfway there and is now live, thanks to your comment too! @skel3ton thanks! "(+/-)" are plus and minus sign on the keyboard, to adjust mouse sensitivity.
@stephanschue thanks for you feedback! I'm not sure that I get what you mean by countering attacks though.
Wow, that's some nice game! Totally enjoyed it, everything is so fitting, from the cool start-Button to the angry dog to the letter accelerator the player is holding :D Really good job!
Really well done the fill to start put the cherry on top for polish and super unique idea!
A classic game that fits the theme well. I don't have the best aim but I enjoyed seeing improvements in my score after retrying multiple times! My only complaint is that 2 minutes felt a bit long, I would have preferred shorter rounds with quick breaks in between and each round can have unique enemies or events (like the dog). Otherwise that was fun, great job!
Haha, very fun game! I found it a *bit* difficult to aim, maybe a little less mouse sensitivity would help. Also I felt like there were either too many targets or too few at any given moment. Loved the game, though!
I Loved this game!
His simplicity in controls and concept make it a pleasant to play.
Competent graphics, and great soundtrack and SFX.
Overall a great entry!
PS: that dog will give me nightmares...
