I like it! I lived for 2.23 min

This was nice, took me a little while to figure out what to do, but when I got going I made it 3.38mins :) nice job!

I really enjoyed this game. I'm a pixel artist and really enjoyed the art you made the for the game. The music also had a good vibe.

Neat little game! I liked it, but I wished I could tell which carrier was which.

Wow, that was a cool game! I got up to $180 my first game before I started getting too many fines. Great work!

Neat game, the environment visuals definitely grabbed my attention! The rest of the art compliments it well, even the ui. Nice job getting a nice cohesive design all done in the jam time frame! Looking forward to beating my previous time soon, 3.44 mins! :smiley:

Great concept and execution! Thought it was going to be quite easy, then I suddenly got slapped with a bunch of fines and the challenge kicked in. Enjoyed it!

135 dollars and 6.08 minutes. Nice game, works well, although I would have liked more couriers since most of the time I was just waiting for them to come back and losing money. Perhaps you could consider making them a maintainance cost instead of a one time purchase so that the more courier I have, the harder it is to manage them and the higher the cost, for a possible higher gain. Anyway nice game and good execution

Super nice game! As for me - want to have more time to chouse packages in same direction. Graphics and sound are amazing! :)

Cute game! The vibes are great, especially the buildings; you really hit the retro game nostalgia right on the head with those. Expanding the map as you play is nice. I would have liked to hire couriers at my own pace (with some drawback) because it felt like I was drowned in deliveries right after I hired the 3rd guy. Anyways, lovely game. Thanks for publishing it!

The game is nice and enjoyable.

One of the main obstacles in finishing it is that it's I guess heavily reliant on RNG - once you get a 3rd guy, the deliveries come faster than you can clear them - therefore you will drown in packages. You have to be lucky with what packages come in and how close their delivery is (which is also random).

Anyways, as for jam game - it's quite polished and plays nice.

Keep up the good work

I love the esthetics!

Gameplay is very chill and cool for few minutes... I wish it would be more strategic by giving the player information where given packed goes, it would allow planning the routes for the drivers.

Other small things: I liked the dynamic of running out of space and size of boxes, i would like to see the "buy driver" button to be grayed out and display amount needed instead of just pooping when it's ready (unless i didn't understand something)

The game also needs some smarter RNG and balance... The player was just flooded with packages and because there is not much player can do it felt unfair

Feels chill, but don't let yawning here. Liked the concept, when figured it out. Can be polished and balanced, of course, but it's nice overall.

I felt it complicated to understand at first but then I catched up quite fast. Nice game, original and fun. I was getting fined constantly for getting out of space.

elflashor 2023-05-14 16:19

I liked this one! Start chill but quickly becomes complex where you have to plan your routes to not get bankrupt...! Pretty good, congrats!

There's some interesting strategies that emerge from the design here.
