buddy nice cool game.... you thought different than the others and the you executed it very well

dummy432 2023-05-01 08:59

what did you use to make the game ??

tanis 2023-05-01 09:51

man, juggling the newspapers is a challenge itself. Nice entry. It kind of reminds me of the old paper boy :wink:

Where MMO?

Score 65152 on default settings, pretty nice. Playing with the mouse is a little bit awkward, I recommend trying on touch screen!

Really nice game kuvi! The game loop feels good, the visualizations are nice and the sfx and music are fitting. I quite like the rendering style with the bent road.

kuviman 2023-05-01 18:48

@rickylee

I didn't know how to make this MMO sorry

this is innovative and super funny gameplay, thumbs up! Would definitely work well with touch controls on a mobile device

dominic-graziano 2023-05-02 03:39

the MSpaint graphics are matched only by the mouthed sound FX. great job!

rustywolf 2023-05-02 03:40

This is the perfect example of a simple mechanic executed well, I loved it

sevla 2023-05-02 05:25

HAHAHAHHA pretty funny sfx and mechanics

badcop 2023-05-02 05:37

i like this because it's realistic; i'm bad at juggling in real life, and also in this game

good job

When is juggle mail aim trainer coming out? Insane idea, executed perfectly. The graphics the sounds and gameplay all hang together perfectly. Great job! Granted I sucked at it but its amazing.

made3 2023-05-02 07:12

Very good idea and I love the sound effects a lot :smile:

exilon 2023-05-02 07:13

Cleanest advertising. Respect.

I don't have much criticism aside from the game play being very simple. The game is fun and addictive. Well done :)

elementary 2023-05-02 07:54

Cool take on the theme and interesting mechanics, gameplay is smooth with very few bugs from what I could tell, the mail would sometimes miss the box if I release close to the road due to it moving out of the hit box, but otherwise pretty solid. I really liked having the difficulty options.

robowarrior1982 2023-05-02 08:58

Paperboy on a roll ! Very simple and addictive game, good job for a compo ! (+1 Sound with the mouth)

kepsert 2023-05-02 11:00

What a lovely entry as usual. I love how smooth the juggling feels without making it exceptionally hard and / or moving the mouse up every time you want to throw a letter upwards. The mailbox bit was an amazing addition to the earlier version I played during development. Lovely graphics as usual (iconically Kuvi) and the audio design is chef's kiss. Very fun addictive, looking forward to play more. Also, got to love the different game modes! Solid entry!

aweelex 2023-05-02 12:14

Really nice art style. Sound design is funny also. Enjoyed playing. It could be expanded to a nice mobile game.

andidebob 2023-05-02 13:04

Okay I know there is no point in me trying to get a highscore here, the highest I got was like 33k... But I really like what you made here! Well done!

janures 2023-05-02 13:56

Remember you as the the first to play our previous game on stream. Great to see you are still doing well and having fun. Great little game. Imagine Charles Bukowski on the bike doing this. Bet it would look like this.

jitspoe 2023-05-02 15:55

Solid entry that my post-LD, fried brain wasn't able to score high enough on to brag about. :)

moonizz 2023-05-02 16:21

A lot of fun. Last attempt I got 119k and I will come back to beat you kuvi! The only thing I'd improve would be the sort order of the papers you just threw up in the air. I found myself grabbing the upwards moving papers several times instead of the downwards moving one, making me lose a life. I would've liked it to focus the grab on the one closest to falling off the screen! This is a great entry. Well done :smile:

louiejams 2023-05-02 16:22

Really loved how the physics worked and wliked that I got to choose how many newspapers I wanted to juggle rather than be forced to ramp up the difficulty. Great entry!

eieio 2023-05-02 17:26

Loved this! The mechanic is simple but fun and I like being pushed to juggle harder, and I found the art style charming :)

jeremy-ryan 2023-05-02 18:10

Nice entry! My best score was a hair under 60,000.

I really like the "push your luck" sort of mechanic, where you get more points the more envelopes you're juggling, but there's also a bigger chance of crashing. The controls were smooth and the gameplay was really intuitive.

I also like the 2D/3D blend, especially with the exaggerated curve of the earth with the houses and mailboxes slowly emerging from the horizon. The graphics are pretty simple but you did a good job making the menus, UI, and gameplay visuals all cohesive.

I added your delivery person to the pixel art fan art collage on [my profile](https://ldjam.com/users/jeremy-ryan/) (complete with cat ears).

Thanks again for playing my game on stream, and good luck during the rest of play and rate!

jvdwijk 2023-05-02 19:24

Wait... this is a Kuviman game?? Even though there is no multiplayer it still is really good! it is pretty challenging (only got around 70k for now) but has a good learning curve!

fragment-games 2023-05-02 20:34

haha this was nice! Started with juggling a lot of newspapers before I figured out I needed to deliver it as well haha. Fun little game!

jimmymcginger 2023-05-02 20:35

Fun! Different take on the paper boy games I've been seeing. The juggling was a clever idea.

balimaarthebassfish 2023-05-02 21:12

All in all a very solid experience!

euler-moises 2023-05-03 12:48

Simple but solid game. Simple and well understandable mechanics. I understand it as a prototype for something bigger.

Congratulations!

arron-fowler 2023-05-03 12:48

Nice simple game that is also challenging. It took a few goes to get the hang of it, but once I did it was pretty satisfying. Nice work

str8griz 2023-05-03 15:16

Fun simple game with a nice skill curve. Played it a few times and got better each run. Don't know why but I just imagine you making the paper sound effect and it makes me giggle. Great job!

jdeedubs 2023-05-03 15:39

"When I was your age, I used to play Juggle Mail on a trackpad"

Really great game. Got a high score of 5927 on me laptop.

A very simple and fun game, I loved it. Great job!

brandon-campbell 2023-05-03 19:21

Really fun, unique, challenging game! I enjoyed it a lot. I can't juggle more than 3 at a time.

machinescreen 2023-05-03 20:37

Nice idea, well executed as a straight up fun game. I really enjoyed the audio and the graphics are perfectly styled for the type of game.

xk-the-name 2023-05-03 20:52

Nice and simple! Really like the smiling sun in the background :)

potkirland 2023-05-03 21:31

intense game @kuviman !! I love it one of the most innovative takes maybe because I have never played a juggling game before. Love your style as well! keep the smiling suns! :smile:

bodhiagora 2023-05-03 23:11

41k Baby! Nice take on Paperboy with a sweet mechanic! Great idea, great execution!

rekkorize 2023-05-04 00:01

Good game with awesome flow! Simple but addictive mechanics. Me and my friend played it for half an hour (here's his high score). Nice entry!2023-05-04 02.00.18.jpg

Absolutely great game! Super addictive to play! I'll probably be coming back to this one to try to beat my high score! the sound design and the art style were absolutely great aswell!

spacespytv 2023-05-04 12:56

Simple yet really well executed, you knocked it out of the park, juggling 6 of em at once was challening! Good push and pull risk and reward game design, love to see that. Great work.

igor-minenko 2023-05-04 13:25

lol, such a cute game with funny sounds and iteresting mechanics, good job!

little-doctor-games 2023-05-04 20:53

This was such a fun game. I found it a bit difficult to release the papers onto the mailboxes but I was able to somewhat get the hang of it. Juggling was fun by itself without even worrying about delivering the papers. Graphics and sound were delightful. Overall, sick game

Edit: here's the VOD link from my stream

danmerey 2023-05-04 21:13

Simple, but stylish, I like how it looks and feels. Pretty boring gameplay though – the game lacks goal, plot and progression. With some development can become a nice hypercasual mobile game.

conduit 2023-05-05 04:21

An incredibly simple yet addictive game! The juggling mechanic again, was simple but really made the experience. The visuals and sound design were something I really appreciated as well!

nuin 2023-05-05 07:15

wish I was releasing meat but great game and you are very handsome

yusp 2023-05-05 08:43

The drawing style of the game is very nice, especially the sun is sweet. It was a fun game to play. Pretty cool

rakowu 2023-05-05 08:44

I like the perspective and find the sound effects funny. Basically quite nice. A little more variety would be nice, but a solid game.

hagamosvideojuegos 2023-05-05 09:10

Fast, funny and i Love your SFX.

Congratulations!

gamedocs 2023-05-05 12:10

Great game! I really enjoy to play this! Great job!

zhiteng-chen 2023-05-05 16:00

It is absolutely a fun game, where the reality is convey and the player is busy taking the challenge. Welcome to play my game as well.

xandruher 2023-05-05 19:16

I like that mechanic! It was very addicting and I was always trying to have more papers on the screen for more score. The graphics and music are cool and fit into the game! Well done, was lots of fun to play!

cinterre 2023-05-05 22:16

Neat idea. I like that you're setting your own challenge by guessing at what you can handle. You don't see that often. Nice work!

weeping-rupee 2023-05-05 22:32

Hey thanks for stopping by the stream. Here's the VOD where I played your game if you're interested: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1812362155

nardandas 2023-05-06 08:32

I played this on stream. Initial thoughts are basically that it'd be nice if it was easier to grab and juggle the thing closer to the ground, and if the mailbox click areas were bigger. I've got to practice the juggling a bit though, I couldn't really get more than four going stably. Really cool little challenge you've built.

igdiaysu 2023-05-06 08:59

The mechanic is simple but fun <3

chris1919 2023-05-06 18:11

Fun game! Very hard though! I appreciate two speeds, because slow was more fun for me. It gave me the chance to do more with the juggling. Hitting the mailboxes was difficult. Took me a couple plays to realize you aren't supposed to toss it towards the mailbox, but rather let go when you have the crosshairs.

Thank you so much for dropping by My stream! I really enjoyed the game :)

honest-dan 2023-05-08 07:12

Really solid arcade game, you've done well. Really clever to combine the delivery of mail with juggling, especially when YOU get tot decide how many to juggle at once to set your own multiplier. Puts the player in control of the risk vs reward situation, which is good in this sort of game. I had a habit of missing mailboxes, it might be because the map was moving and I was releasing it a bit too slow, so maybe a bit more generosity on the hitboxes woulda been appreciated.

Apparently I beat Pomo, which is a successful feat in its own right!

Hahah, this is awesome! Nothing I don't love about this entry, it's very unfortunate that I suck some serious ass. I can't keep juggling more than 4 newspapers, but that won't stop me from fully appreciating this game! Well done, this is super cool!

captandrey 2023-05-09 04:36

изображение_2023-05-09_073242437.png it's not much but it's honest work =) . Classic "easy to learn - hard to master", great asset work, cool full-on-theme gameplay, respect!

mateusboga 2023-05-11 13:31

This is an example of a game that picks one thing and does it really well. Great execution! The controls feel really satisfying and smooth. I really like the level of control you have over it, since you're the one who picks up the papers to start juggling. Great work!

rickylee 2023-05-11 23:54

The game is intuitive and so much fun, and the visuals are enjoyable! The accumulation of small details, such as the sound, made me smile (your voice?). The title menu settings are also easy to understand, and overall, I like how the high level of quality is apparent throughout the game :)

aurailus 2023-05-20 00:39

This game is super cute! It took me a bit to wrap my mind around the mechanics, but once I did I had a lot of fun. Fast mode is wayyyy too much for me. Great job!
