Really cool one! Mouse movement is super fast and responsive, which gives this game a really high skill ceiling. Frantic and enjoyable.

You have an amazingly addicting loop on your hands. And I really love the mechanics you added, the walls and the odd level elevators really add a huge amount of depth to a simple premise. Sick job

This game was fantastic. It's such a snappy, beautiful design and it's incredibly fun. I thought at first that the speed of the movement and the any-order delivery would remove any challenge, but the design of the levels really makes you think, absolutely brilliant.

That said though, it looks like you didn't create all the assets yourself in 48 hours, so I don't think this is eligible as a compo submission if I understand the rules correctly. It would be a fantastic JAM entry though.

@tommpudding Oh sorry, I thought opting out of Audio category would be ok, I should've read the rules more thoroughly. Just changed this submission to JAM, thanks!

Fun game! I enjoyed flinging my mouse around trying to deliver everything. The movement and controls felt really good.

Awww yeah I LOVE this!!! Such a creative idea. I love games that use the mouse in inventive ways and this one is delightfully simple, playing it feels like second nature. As soon as the timer started and that insane music started rolling I knew immediately what I had to do. Every hotel is very clear in its layout and you can get an idea of how to traverse them right as you see them for the first time. Feels very snappy and the pace is perfect. Amazing job honestly

@fupi Thanks! I had a hard time deciding what control scheme to use and eventually decided mouse controls for its fast-paced gameplay, glad I sticked with it

Cool!I thought the smooth visuals flowed real well. Wish there was more to play! Either way, good game!

The game was very fun! My high score was 67! It's amazing because the controls are so simple, there were some similar games in this jam but no game had so straightforward controls and this one was the best executed! All in all 10/10!

darkhusky 2023-05-03 17:12

Good game idea, really liked the controls. All in all a good game!

I always admire people who are able to come up with simple, yet very addictive games... and you just became one of them.

The tutorial is super simple and very well placed.

I would maybe add something what will tell you that there are more level with different styles, because I tried a few delivers and thought "ok, understand" and wanted to move one, but the comments made me replay it. :)

Very fun and smooth game, the sound the controls and animation are perfectly in tune well done ! My highscore was 50 ! The different pattern adds a lot of complexity as the game progresses, a really interesting mechanic, I loved playing this game!!

Amazing game! really original and fun to play!

This is actually really solidly built. The mouse controls work fantastically well - much better than wasd would have. I'm curious whether the hotels are procedurally generated or if there's a pool the game selects from.

alpacalypse 2023-05-07 13:16

The control scheme here is really good.

sneakyfox 2023-05-07 15:20

This is sooo nice! **Great work!**

At some point I thought that i can do it endlessly, but here comes another speed up, and I though "oh, no!" That was cool! But levels a bit repeating, but that's okay for LD

Music is insane! In total I get a lot of fun! One of the most interesting games in this LD

I don't know is this a best score? May be someone can beat me? xD

Ok, it's fast and cool. The challenge is on, but playable and beatable. Level design has logics and you can manage to do the deliveries quite fast. Overall, very nice game. Maybe, the music is too fast, makes you think even faster than it should be, with slower sound pace I'd play this one much better. Keep up the good work!

Oh damn, level 5 broke me. Visual-spatial reasoning overload. Still, if I had some more time this eve, I would have kept going. Nice learning curve, nice difficulty, easy to play, hard to master. Overall, a good package.

I had a lot of fun playing this game! I love that there are different hotels layout getting more and more difficult, very well made and fast paced and really addictive, good job!
