Nice idea and fune game!
Nice game. I like the visuals, and the shooting effects. It feels nice and polished. Good job!
Really cool game. The movement is a little confusing. Other than that the art is great and the audio is nice. I liked hitting the NPCs with mail.
I didn't read the instructions and immediately started trying to slaughter the NPCs haha
This is a gorgeous game and it feels really good to play. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Great game! Agree with everyone else, the shooting mechanic is really satisfying. Powersliding and shooting letters is a great combo.
The sliding mechanic was soooooo satisfying. Can see this being a fun party game if it was multiplayer. Awesome idea.
The mechanics of this game really shine. Well done on delivering such a well-polished game!
Great gameplay, super satisfying second-to-second movement! The graphics are pretty insane too. My only gripe is that there isn't more. Give me a final boss with dark souls music and shit, I wanna shoot and dash more!
This is super cute! The sounds and animation and particles feel SO good. I did a terrible job because shooting the little guys is more fun than delivering mail, but I want more of this!
The game operation feels great！ I love physics effects of the recoil and the letters' falling.
looks good, but i don't understand how to do something with that square :D
I love the movement and the shooting, both feel so good for a top down shooter! This is very funny fun game!
Love how this game controls and feels! I like how you incorporated the theme into this gameplay too, it's a really interesting concept! Art style is pretty cute too.
looks very good, plays chillout, fun
Simple idea executed very well! The movement and shooting mechanics felt very polished. Great job!
The gameplay is very smooth! It was really fun to play, I loved the experience 👌
Really good job on the shooting mechanic and the kick back it provides. A lot of juice in that one mechanic. Also really loved how the bullet moved, feels very physics-y. The art style is really unique as well - how did you go by about making it?
@acarc thanks for the kind words. I do a lot of my game brainstorming in Microsoft Paint, so I decided it'd be fun to emulate that visualization. A couple game jams ago I made a custom preprocessor + shader that takes 3D meshes and creates a scribbly MS paint effect. I've used that effect here :)
Will echo what a lot of other people said already: Game looks great, plays and controls super well, and was good fun. Nice job!
Nice entry. You could break up the large level into smaller ones and have some enemies.
One of my favorites so far. Love the art style so much. Super fun to shoot and super satisfying. An online leaderboard would be super nice with this, if you keep working on it. You did an incredible job! Well done! 12f55a4bde01d31e1908f14870d3789f.png
The animations and general game feel are amazing. The Artstyle is really cool, and the audio is fantastic, especially the "thunk" when delivering letters. The sliding mechanic is cool but the level doesn't require it in any way. Maybe if there were places you could only go through by sliding. Overall amazing Work!
Awesome game! It was really fun to play!
Animations and art is incredible! Would've loved some music to accompany it but the sound effects were pretty great
top, so satisfying !!!
I love the feedback you get when shooting mail into a mailbox. So juicy. The movement and controls are quite good too. Also, having the little guys complain when you shoot them was a nice touch. I completed the neighborhood mail delivery because I was having so much fun. Very fun game and I could see this being expanded. Nice job
The very simple art style works so well here, and the letter "thunk" sound is great. After I saw the animation for accidentally hitting a civilian I got completely derailed, every time the little box dude shook their fits at me it made me giggle. Great game, I will definitely play this again.
Wow, what a polished entry! You really nailed the look and feel. Shooting mail and sliding around felt very satisfying.
I really missed some challenge in the game, but I know that's not the game's intention, and it's an excellent game for speedrunners. That said, I want to compliment the game, it was very well done, I didn't find any bugs. It's simply very satisfying, the animation are impeccable. It's also very fun to cause chaos among the residents >:)
Wow, the character movement and shooting is fantastic! This feels super satisfying to play. I love the stylized graphics too :smile: Awesome job!!
The gameplay so fun! The art is extremely charismatic and I loved the sounds that the citizens make when hit by the cards, it's very funny! Congratulations on the game and the wonderful work! ＼(＾▽＾)／
This was actually a lot of fun, nice and simple. I especially liked the guys swearing when you hit them, the sound effect was perfect and got a few chuckles out of me. Other sound effects were great too. At first I thought having some way to aim would have been nice, but once I started getting used to it, it didn't really bother me as much. Overall the game felt really satisfying. The end goal felt a bit redundant for some reason, and I didn't actually feel all that motivated to finish once I got started, but at least the mechanics were fun to play around with.
Literally, the moment the game started and I pressed LMB to shoot I was so amazed by the amount of juice of this game. Really well polished!! Well done! I really like the shooting mechanic! The upbeat music is also very hype! Really nice mood overall :)
At first I thought it was money I was throwing out！Well done! Feels great in the hand!
The game is easy to understand and entertaining! the music is a banger mah dude! and the art style is pretty nice too, I like how you used similar color for objectives this was I understood that I need to send mail to boxes and to the ground before I even read the objective, my only bit of criticism for this game is that it's too simple, there isn't really something pushing you to play better at least for me, it was fun exploring controls and figuring out how things work, but once I understood everything it felt like a chore to finish the game, but I had my fair share of fun, nice work!
This game was sick! I had a great time playing it. The movement and shooting felt great, and I'm sure with some practice you could master the slide and find the most optimal route the level. I did have a very hard time getting the papers to land in the little squares, so I would say maybe make them bigger or remove them completely and just have the mailboxes. The sound and visuals were great. Thanks for bringing it to the stream for us to play!

Great game. Shooting letters feels very satisfying, especially when you hit the box people. Why oh why do you get negative points for such a fun activity?
This was super fun! The rendering style is original and really works well. The mechanics felt super satisfying (love the powerglide!) and hitting the mailboxes was very juicy with the sound and bouncing effect.
It took me a bit to figure out what to do with the blue squares. I think I would like to tone down the sound of shooting letters a bit, since it plays so often it becomes a bit heavy. I didn't particularly enjoy the soundtrack, it was a bit too intense/reminiscent of an aerobics class for the context imo, but I'm not sure what I would have instead.
Of course, loved hitting the box people and their angry reaction!
Great game with simple but bery clever concept. Superb execution, clean and nice grafic.
Nice entry. I thought the presentation was very nice and the controls feel very good. My only complaint is that the targets require really precise aim to hit, which feels like it goes against the movement
Really nice stuff! Graphics are simple but look really good. Shooting feels satisfying from the little kick and the nice sound. My biggest complaint is that tracking down the last one or two mailboxes I missed took some time and wasn't that interesting.
This was something special. Great game!
simple but very clever, plus a very fun game. The mechanics of this game and the flow of animation were also very smooth and clean. I also hope I can create a better game same as you.
Super polished and juicy nice job!
It's a good small game. The core shooting mechanics are very enjoyable. It was fun to play. I would like to see more challenges added to the game.
