Haha this was so fun!! When I first dropped in the world I was like... what the heck is going on? But as soon as I right clicked it all made sense :slight_smile:
It's simple and cheesy, but I think that's why I had so much fun. Really makes you *FEEL* like spiderman ;)
D Trains are not playing fair!
@adam-gaskins That's kind of what I was going for, thanks!
@k8n They really are evil!
This was really surreal and I had a ton of fun just flying around the city. Not sure what I was delivering but the trains sure were menacing. Nice job!
Awesomely fun game! But I don't think there's a win condition? At one point I couldn't find any red beams. The city disappearing if you are too high doesn't help. Would be nice to add some gravity to prevent going to space. Also fell under the city at one point.
Graple mechanism is very fun!
I think I forgot to mention: there is a minimap at the top of the screen which shows you the deliveries, but the screen size may be interfering with that. Also, the red beams may get cut away based on the render distance. Be careful not to aim at anything you can't see with the grappling hook, because there may be a building far away cut off by the render distance. If you do get too far away, you can just use the grappling hook and it will bring you back to hells kitchen. I'm sorry I didn't leave this in the description. Thanks for the feedback!
D trains are so funny
Neat game! The sound effects are a tad loud when loading up the game the first time so I was a bit surprised but after turning the volume down I was all good~
Those flying trains made me laugh! I like the premise of the game, and it's a good proof of concept. To extend the idea, I think the grapple mechanics could use some iteration, and maybe some kind of warning system for when a flying train is approaching from off camera!
@big-cow thanks, I'll add that after the jam!
I actually had fun with this game! The trains made me laugh but I couldn't exit the easter egg screen and had to quit the game.
Is there a download link? I can't seem to get it to load in the browser. I wanna see these flying trains everyone else is talking about!
@zerovirus Sorry, I can't add another upload without switching to Extra. I found that it runs much smoother on Windows, however.
Neat game, was fun flying around with the grappling hook instead of walking to objectives. Had the same issue as others where one of the objectives wasn't showing on the minimap. Found it in the end but it wasn't visible on the map
The "You got hit by a D train" really hit me especially the first time. Hahahaha! It came out of no where. The second time I played I actually figured out the grappling hook, and was just like, *what the trains are flying?* Well, that sure explained why I didn't see the D train coming. THat was fun!
Short YouTube clip (couldn't add in time): https://youtu.be/Y5_1JWEftdg
wow that felt like a weird dream haha. Seeing the subway car fly towards me in the air while on top of a building was wild
One of the most fun games in this jam I've played so far. The grappling hook is super janky but also really fun to use.
Just mindblown! That trains, that grappling... Most accurate Batman simulator ever.
I must say, I recently played a game that had me thoroughly impressed with its graphics, level of fun, controls, and overall effort put into it! However, I do have to say that my dog didn't seem to appreciate the sound effects very much, since they just start barking at me for no reason when i play this game
Impressive city scale! always gotta watch those subway cars. Grappling was a bit difficult to get a hang of but I found myself using that over the regular WASD movement as it was *way* faster. Music was a little intense but definitely fit the vibe.
HAHAHAHA that train! So cool! Made me laugh so hard, thank you!
Thanks to @k8n @sevla @tommeh @sansen @big-cow @hoshinu @wuya-cafe! it helps a lot!
Really funny concept! I keep getting stuck inside buildings or fling into the nether with the grappling hook but having fun!
Grappling hook was really fun when I got the hang of it, could use some invisible walls around the map!
Audio was LOUD/SHARP
Flying through the air while being chased bij derailed D Trains 10/10
perfection
The idea is very good, however I found it very difficult to play it. The trains constantly crashed into me and it was quite difficult to use the grappling hook (I ended up straight off the map jaja!). I would like to see it more polished, good job! congratulations!! XD
@willchoprojects @wompus @koos @bart-diepvries @emaigualmc2-art Thank you!
It all clicked when I right-clicked for the first time! I think the map was busted in the WebGL build but it looks like it was working for other people. The first time I got hit by a train it actually scared me :laughing: Great work!
What do you think about changing the crosshair color so it blends in less with the buildings?
that earape wasn't funny but i like the movement. it would be nice if there were some graphics
Very fun idea! I love the concept of swinging around the city like a mailman superhero and throwing packages at people from hundreds of feet in the air. The grappling is pretty fun and I like that you can launch yourself toward the next point or swing around a point by holding down the button. For some reason this reminds me a bit of the Prototype games, where you have almost unlimited power and speed to climb up buildings and fly around the city with ease. Great job on getting this one done for the jam!
Why am I being chases by flying trains???
Sounds are a little too sharp.
Well this one has a Premise, to be sure! XD
Sorry about the sounds :( Thanks to all!
Bloody D train. The game reminds me of the friendly neighborhood pizza delivery guy! I like the concept, I also thought about a similar idea when brainstorming.
I loled when I saw the first train bearing down on me, real fever dream game.
Very funny! I love a good grappling hook mechanic in games! Keep it up!
We really enjoyed the game! You can actually experience the panic while the trains' shadows are approaching. We'd definitely like to see a post-jam version!
I enjoyed your work Obe Dot and I think this game was very well set in the fun category :) . Let me please give you some pros and cons
Pros
Funny train enemy (i could not defeat them, but I got a few)
fluid character control
Cons
Audio noise for gun was loud in headphone
By the way I saw you reviewed my game! Thank you. Please let me know if you had any trouble getting the virtual machine to work on your computer. The TempleOS operating system is Ring-0 Only!
i found an easter egg? :flushed: also finished in 82.6 seconds lol, for some reason my grappling hook was verrry strong, sent me flying everytime lol, pointing at the sky also hooks you way back into the corner. music was scary. enjoyed it though!
Loved the grappling hook. Could have decreased the pull effect to let the user be in control. I was like flying all over NYC, almost thrwon out of the map. But was fun to play. The trains were funny lol.
Thanks @bashem @austin-sierra @freakman @sashbros and everyone else! It helps a lot!
Wait.. hang on.. hoooold one a minute! Am I essentially Spider-Man delivering Pizzas in New York??? This is Brilliant!
@weirdbitgames Pretty much yeah :D Thanks.
I wanted to rate you on mood! Your mood was great!! The trains were oddly scary and it was pretty fun zooming around to avoid them. Sometimes we flew way out of the city so might be nice to have some bounds haha. Overall the grappling was really fun!
This game is a riot haha - the sheer insanity of torpedoing my way across city streets with a cartwheeling train putting up chase - absolutely love it. Also, I'm a sucker for any game with grappling hooks - I love how you get a vertical boost on the first grapple, feels very nice. Excellent work!
For the grappling alone I love this game. What I did not expect was to be shot outa the sky by a train- nearly gave me a heartattack! That was fun haha xD
Rain of a trains is most unexpected thing that i could think about! Really fun xd
This is really fun and exciting! Great for the time limit!)))
Its really a nice game with delivery theme,especially the rain of trains,really fun XD
Reminds me of a fever dream i once had. Still fun never the less!
Fun game, the sound of the package being shot kinda hurt my ears but the rest of the game is wacky and silly, I like it. I used the grappling hook to climb to the top of a big building and saw all the trains floating and that was wack and fun. Nice game :)
@darzu @ugly-robot @pazzi @askide @rote @dsk @quanta-studios @stellarr2 Thanks, it really helps!
why are these train flying? XD
Love the giant derailed D trains.
@castitatis @michael-harris Thanks!
Not sure what I just played :D But felt like spider-man, I guess you just need to shoot at those three beams and you win :D Fun to fool around for few mins, thanks for experience :)
Pros - trains - whole city, not sure if it was procedurally generated or modeled by hand
Cons - SFX hurt my ears a little :D - installer ? :D
This game is hilarious! I like it!!!
I will say.. this is the first time I've grappled around a city shooting minecraft dirt at floating train cars, so I guess you deserve a high innovation rating? Grappling through a building and and getting launched off the map at lightspeed was pretty cool too.
Realy nice game. You make a great job on it, I enjoyed my time :smile:
Thanks @saviqq @filgreen3 @brandon-campbell @flying-butter-studio ! It helps a lot.
That's the kind of surreal I can get behind! I wish the draw distance went a lot farther and the sound effects weren't so loud, but the overall experience was trippy in the right way.
I love clicking the other end of the city and teleporting there, sick game

First of all WTF??? second of all I actually had fun with this, role playing as spider man and smoothly going from one place to another while getting my ears absolutely rekt by the music, it's not something you get to experience everyday, no seriously that wasn't a bad experience at all! on a second not I see that you're the number one person when it comes to playing other people's game, I don't know how you manage to find the time or the energy to play so many darn games but I salute you for that, as someone who tried to get to the top of the Feedback filter every jam it's trully impressive! (shameless plug: you can try mine if you do not-not-want to)
Initially didn't realise about the grappling hook, and for those few tries I've never been so afraid of trains in my life! I had a lot of fun with it once I did though, although maybe the grappling makes you move a bit too fast; I got flung into outer space a few times! Overall a nice game and a cool take on the theme!
You got to watch out for those D trains. Very silly game. Got a chuckle from me. Good job.
First I was like WTF hahahahaha and then too. The trains are really aggressive. Its was funny!
It is such a trick when I only click my left mouse button, but it becomes really fun when I start clicking my right mouse button, the hook machine seems quite great and interesting! I love it.
Very fun to play! I like it!
Always impressed by 3D submissions - it looked really cool. Music was amazing, controls were pretty fun and the idea was great. Really good work. Had a lot of fun played through a few times.
Felt a little bit like a fever dream, but a good one. Very fun submission, finding out that I could right click made all the difference. :)
Haha, very innovative! I like the grapple hook mechanic, adds lots of joy into my life.
LOL pretty fun game. There were minor bugs like timer not resetting if you play again after winning, and some weird velocity, but it all added up to the experience and made it fun LOL Great job!
I'm a sucker for grappling mechanics! This was super fun and I really like the absurdness of the flying trains.
I like the music a lot too, makes the whole thing feel super frantic, it gets me hyped.
I do often encounter get stuck because of bugs(clipping into building/off-map/grapple doesn't work anymore), but until I do this is a blast, congrats!
i keep getting hit by the derailed d train!
I found an easter egg OoO
I liked the grapple mechanic and how it let me move quickly around the city
First I gotta say something that's really important. I'm an autistic person and saddly the main sound effect of throwing the box was too loud and high pitched and this was hurting me physically :cry: Now, the grapple mechanic was really fun!! Congratz!
I really enjoyed the game a lot! thank you!!!
Most overpowered spidermap grapple ever. Wasn't too challenging but a lot of fun
Thanks @piano-forte @nuin @0x-void-x0 @josephgallear @paul-avallone @debotheaux @zeit @sashalipatov @thaprofesional @dzejpi @coatline @jeffrey-hwang @kler @bokonon @ylaxus @camden-obertop @thomaspixelart @projectcolorball @mahc! Sorry about the loud audio :(
I didn’t really understand anything, but I laughed.

@arsher Thanks!
OK, after reading all the other comments I start to think I must be super exigent with jam games, but I admit I didn't enjoy it too much. But I like the concept, it's more about execution, game design, polishing, etc. Maybe if this was the first grappling game I had seen, I would have enjoyed it more.
I've played several grappling games and in fact, the one I disliked the most had loosy motion. This one hasn't, however I was once sent high into the air to the point I couldn't see the city anymore, and it tooks ages to fall down. Some safety clamping would have helped.
For a spider-man experience you'd need shorter range and an actual pendulum motion, but I see it wasn't the point here, so it's fine. A Zelda hookshot / Attack on Titan motion is cool too, although again a shorter range would force the player to hook from building to building more often. However even with the very long range, you had to control yourself not to overdo it, so why not.
My biggest issue was the vehicles. The first times they just fell out of nowhere on my camera for instant game over. Then I started paying attention to the sky. But once you're out of their zone, there's not much to fear. I'd rather have a classic experience with obstacles along the shortest ways to the delivery zones to make you decide whether you should avoid them or risk it for speedrunning, and/or collectibles along the way so you can high-score by taking certain paths.
There is no metaphor/explanation for the flying vehicles, visuals doesn't seem to match their motion either. Yeah I know, it's just a fancy idea, but even if crazy games like Goat Simulator you *can* understand the crazy logic behind the thing. A kind of surrealism.
For the easter eggs, I suppose this kind of humor is just not my thing... ? I don't know NYC much but I suppose there are some literary jokes you can do about it.
And the music was chaotic and a bit repetitive, I think in this case I would have preferred ambient street sound (that changes when you fly higher maybe?)
Sorry, I intended to just score the game and leave silently because it's not fun criticizing beginners and sometimes pointless bringing rationality to something the author knows is absurd. But I feel like there are too many comments only pointing the good parts, so I decided to bring some balance to feedback (but keeping it constructive).
EDIT: Wait. The karma system means more people comment on your game if you commented a lot on others'. So maybe the sheer amount of comment is just because, as another comment mentioned, you did a good job at reviewing other people's games. So maybe it doesn't really need "balance". Just take it at my personal feedback then.
@hsandt I think it's important to have helpful constructive feedback to learn from.
The grappling hook was fun, but the first thing that happened to me with it was I launched myself into the sky and everything disappeared lol. I had to restart the game.
Some suggestions from me: - Add invisible walls and level boundaries - Add a skybox - An overarching goal for the player (e.g. make X deliveries in Y time) would create more motivation to keep playing other than just wandering around - Incorporate the grappling hook mechanic into the delivery objective would make it more purposeful. Maybe some of the delivery targets could be on top of buildings.
@hsandt @francis thank you!
I had more fun than expected, thanks to the hook mechanic. It was kinda funny and exciting to pull yourself through the city.
About the hook, at first I thought that I had to keep it pressed to be pulled until released. I think it is also fine to just click it once but at this point maybe it should work on mouse press DOWN instead of UP. Also, if u press it again in mid air it stops your movement, which kind of ruins the moment, because it feels less fluid and fast(and furious). It is also very bugged but still funny.
I would change or tune down the volume for the shoot which was instead very annoying to hear, I'm not sure how you could have tested with that on lol Also, I think that the draw distance for the beam should be increased, I was not understanding why I was not able to see them and they (maybe) should always be visible, even from afar!
Not that this is important as much as the other things, but the cover for the game is kinda of weird, it might looks good but made me think this was a 2D pixel game.
@toccio94 Thank you! Btw, I tested with the volume down :)
I found an Easter egg! But what? :)
Really funny to have evil flying trains. The only suggestion I can add is to add a bit more of a horror feel to the game, like more quiet music and scary noises when trains come, haha.
