wow! Graphics are amazing! It's nice that it registers it even when it's not exactly on the pad. Controls were a little awkward though. Great entry!

The art is so good!
The design is great, the textures and the blur effect have been implemented really well. The way you explain the controls is also very clever and looks good. Where can I find the vehicle after I have handed in the first package? I walked to the next platform and back to the beginning, but I couldn't find the vehicle anywhere. *Edit: Ok i found the vehicle, but couldn't find more packages just the first one. But i like really the mood and design.
This looks great. Also love the movement. The integrated tutorial works well.
@rakowu Leave the start area and continue forward (do not turn left or right), you'll find a launch pad and there will be a rover on the way
Well. Following you since Last Bargain and seems like for a reason. Another great Jam title with great aesthetics and polished gameplay, very like it!
@erlioniel Thank you, I made the mistake of turning left. I thought it was only one way until I discovered the whole path afterwards. Do you know where the other packs are? I drove all the way up and then went offroad (and got stuck xD). I want to give you a fair rating so I want to play the game properly :)
@rakowu the delivery counter is on top of the screen. Overall - follow the corresponding pipe :smile: it will guide you
A cute and enjoyable entry!
Visually this is immediately pleasing, the choice of title/blog image with the deapth of field and everything is great!
Gameplay feels neat and controls are smooth, I love the atmosphere of this and enjoyed driving around on this little mars colony and doing my chores, kind of a Stardew Valley in space 😄
This is me trying to stack as much packages as possible only for them to be exploded in all directions after I quickly entered and exited the vehicles and also while driving:

But that's Unity physics for you, amirite? ;) If you wanna work on it maybe try to fix that by tweaking the physics material values a bit with gravity and force etc :)
I also liked that you move in the direction of the vehicle and not cam, this feels like an intended difficulty for gameplay :) It would be cool if the cart could drive up steeper slopes than the character can walk, kind of like the Mako in Mass effect!
All in all a cute and fun little entry, congrats guys! :)
So, finally played through. First of all, I find the atmosphere very pleasant. The vehicle controls were also very good, as was the gravity when going uphill. The explanation of the controls, as written earlier, was also great. I just kind of expected that you would find the different packages in different places, and not all in one pile. But all in all, it's a game to relax in.
I love this one. Just driving round the martian landscape is so serene and chill. The pixel textures are reallllly cool too! Love the style. I think this could work as a full game like a lowfi death stranding haha. Yeah the more I play this the more I think this needs to be expanded. Imagine like.. storms, shuttle landings with these pixelart graphics it would be so perfect
Game feels amazing, outstanding graphics design, good sound design, i really enjoyed roaming around even that I dont find any other boxes except the one from tutorial but i guess that just my problem. Great job.
Like others have pointed out the graphics are amazing. The assets are well composed and put together to make an atmospheric experience. The gameplay is fun although is kind of slow :) Really good submission. Well done!
Looks great and is super chill! I loved to realize the pipes are colored to guide you to the platform of the same color. Also I have a thing for games where gameplay elements can interact both with player and between them (Player can stack boxes on the car then drive it and so on). Great work guys!
Looks amazing ! Feel great to play and the mood in space to well done ! Great job ! Maybe the only thing that I want to say is to get the vehicle closer because it's just out of reach and you can't see it if you go up at the crossroad. So I missed it the first time and since the little guy is pretty slow, it took me some times to get back and find it xD !
Beautiful game! It really felt great, the art and music created a great and super enjoyable atmosphere. The pixel art textures, the lights, the small blur of the camera at the edges, the modeling... all seemed incredible to me. I would really like to learn how you did it xD great job!
@emaigualmc2-art @ironcutter @attala @chesschaser @dgspitzer @fragment-games , thank you guys! It's very nice to hear such nice words!
@peterfiftyfour @rakowu you know that we had way more ideas than time :smile: Not sure we need a lowfi death standing :)
@yogurtthehorse for some reason I didn't follow you back, fixed now :smiley:
@deloriand @gmiss ye, sorry to hear that you was a little bit lost, as you might understand we didn't have time to polish the level completely :cry:
@angiemon thanks for a feedback, that's a Unity physics, indeed. A few jams back we developed a 2D physics-based game and say to ourselves "Never again". But we always looks for a challenge, so we had quite a lot of time wasted to configure it more or less reasonable way :smile: Nice to hear that you enjoyed it anyway :thumbsup:
P.S. Sorry that I didn't review all of your creations yet, a little bit wasted after the event, but will continue tomorrow!
I want to say that the art in this game is a real masterpiece: i love those low-poly models with pixel textures, thats the style i always loved. Same for the music - great addition to the space colony romantics <3 Maybe theres too much walking, but exploring fancy surrounding while walking levels out that fact
Fantastic looking game with great atmosphere. Wish there was a little bit more gameplay mechanics :)
Brilliant work guys. The visuals, mood, audio, polish is really stunning. I would have loved to see what you would have done with the other idea.
Loved this one. I'm impressed by the amount of detail in level design, nice 3d models, cool sounds and music. All combined to achieve this nice sci-fi/space exploration vibe.
When I see that I would be able to drive a vehicle on theses levels, this game won my heart.
5/5 amazing.
@daniillenin @chrissx2 @rjdrag @ltyrosine thanks for such kind words guys!
Loved the aesthetics and mood I got from the game. Calming, I want to say "mysterious-y" experience. Bravo! My main problem: game objective. I understand that you probably spent a lot of time on building a world, but you could have utilized the game area little more, place the boxes around in the world and let player explore! While listening to cool ambient music of course :)
Pros - visuals (+font) and ambient music - elevation and blurry effects - integration of tutorial - vehicle controls
Cons - climbing to red delivery point was little clumsy, I got stuck in collision on some places I wouldn't expect to ... also going back down I just rolled of the cliff and was "levitating" back to the ground smoothly :D
I had a blast finding out that you can drive in the vehicles, lots of fun, great job! :D
Слежу за вами уже второй Людум. Вы, конечно, крутые. Ловите пятёры
Very impressive, I really like the atmosphere! I was almost stuck into my rover at some point, but I got out by spinning around.
The graphic style of this game creates a unique atmosphere that does not leave you indifferent
Good and interesting idea. Nice))
Really liked the game overall, I think the graphics were really good, love the voxel art style, the atmosphere was really nice, although the ambient music did get repetitive quite quickly. I like that the game didn't tell me where to find the packages, and instead allowed me to explore freely. The vehicle physics were nice, although I'm not sure why there were two rovers? In case one got lost / destroyed? Initially thought the second rover maybe had more power for climbing up the mountain to the red drop-off point, but it didn't seem like it.
Only issue I had with the game was that getting to the red drop-off point was a bit tedious, would've been nice if the second rover *had* more power to make that climb slightly easier.
But overall a really nice game! Was it inspired by KSP at all? Definitely seemed like a familiar art style (aside from the art style here being more voxel-oriented) -Peter
@wouterk12 @goddoesplaydice @cagibi @shamsutdin @smoky01 thanks guys!
@studiocherno @saviqq you are a little bit right, climbing to the red is a little bit not easy, but that was the point tbh. In the very end it's the highest point of the map. Anyway hope you enjoyed it and thanks for playing!
This is a very nice chill game. The atmosphere, graphics, sound, were really good. I especially liked the trip to the red area, where you can see the base below, that was a nice touch. The level design in the starting base could be improved a bit though, as on several occasions I found myself going in the wrong direction so I had to turn back. Overall very good!
Great game and perhaps the best one i've played so far! Music is fantastic, art is adorable and gameplay was smooth and serviceable. Only wished that boxes were a bit more spread out and not all in one place but other than that it's a top notch submission well done!
Great entry! as a mars fan, I just loved how you created the martian environment and mood, really got me into it! Although I had much fun driving on the martian landscape with the relaxing music and mood, I couldn't find any packages and I wished the vehicle was a little faster (or with boost button or something) so I can actually research the place and find packages. But after a few minutes of driving slowly without finding any, I had to move on :) Amazing job you guys!
@bmanstudio you could try another round, there is a map attached in the description, which might help :smile:
@zelirman @congusbongus thanks for the feedback :v:
It was a pleasure to spend time with your little relaxing game!

It was really cool that you can put stuff on the truck to drive around with! Took me a little getting used to it, but it was nice driving around. Unfortunately I wound up getting one of the wheels stuck in a building, so it couldn't move anymore. :( Also, the dynamic element of the truck audio, that it pitches up and down, is really satisfying.
This is impressively polished for a jam! Had a great mood too, good job!
Wow! This a huge achievement for the LD game. Love the atmosphere here, great art and music.
The mood is great and also the art is outstanding for a jam! driving the buggy was great but the game felt repetitive towards the end. Really nice entry
The graphics are great and I like the optical effect with the depth of field. Great work :thumbsup:
A big WOOW, well done!!
Was impressed by how cohesive the entire experience was. All parts felt like they fit very well together and created a great atmosphere that had me eager to explore the entire colony. The music sold the setting of being on a mostly dead planet while still having a hint of comfort fitting well with the relative safety of the colony. The art style is very pleasant and the animations are absolutely adorable.
As for the gameplay, this definitely feels like one of those games where you'll get really frustrated over your own clumsiness and I love it. :smile: Several times I managed to launch every single box right off the buggy as if a bomb had hit them. I think I have to be more careful with how many boxes I try to cram on there. I did manage to launch a box like a rocket, landing out of bounds which made it impossible to reach. Luckily though it seemed like the boxes got restocked which was very good design to avoid any softlock frustrations.
The design of the colony was also really cool and I loved seeing the other parts of it in the background as I was exploring, especially while climbing the hill for the red delivery.
Really well done, especially for a game jam! I had a great, relaxing time playing.
Looks and sounds very nice! Awesome game, I found the movement a bit unintuitive with the diagonal camera. Very well done overall!
Good atmosphere. The shallow depth of field felt like it shouldn't be combined with the low res textures, but it still worked well surprisingly. I like how the pipes around the area were colour coded, I felt you were trying to guide the player, though I still felt I was wandering about aimlessly somewhat. A good experience overall.
I did get stuck sadly in the vehicle, here's location incase you're interested: Screenshot 2023-05-06 105217.png
wow, the game looks great! i dig the atmosphere- the music and sound are dope! seems like a great foundation upon which to build more game.
Super cute little game. Absolutely loved the art style, and the depth of field really added to the aesthetics. I would love to see more gameplay in the future, with upgrades and other things. All in all really well done, and the most beautiful game i've seen this jam!
Ooooh this game was adorable! I loved the graphics. The gameplay was also nice although it felt pretty simplistic and also a bit slow-paced, it ran very smoothly. As others have already stated before, this is a great foundation for an atmospheric game with lots of tasks, and also maybe a run button because walking took some time and I am pretty impatient, hehe. Well done!
Great graphics and overall atmosphere. Gameplay was a bit dull, but it conveyed the theme well. Very nice entry.
This graphic very beautiful, the gameplay is well polished and easy to understand and control, the sound matches the game, everything is well executed, it's a great game!
The graphics and audio are the best parts of this game. Loved the atmosphere this had! Wish I hadn't no-clipped through the floor so I could have finished the game xD Here's the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1814982169
@artemy-zen @mezix @x16 @selkieharbour @codexzier @merrow @thefatgalaboo @cheaptoads @kasperhangard @pampo @justmars @gabriel-cassimiro thank you guys!
@binaryspark @mateusboga @honest-dan yes, as you might understand physics is not our strong part and actually we spent quite a time trying to get most cozy feeling from car & character controls, since both are physic based even using built-in implementation was quite challenging. Hope that it didn't ruin your experience completely and thanks for trying :thumbsup:
@ski11az thanks for such nice review, dude. It's really a pleasure to hear this kind of words about such a small creation we've managed to make this time. Thank you!
Aesthetics, atmosphere, terrain and all the materials are top notch. :star2: Had some issues with physics but that's mostly my fault. I wish there were some shortcuts back to the rocket from the top. Overall this is really really impressive work!
Here is my first attempt:

Welcome to the Mars Delivery Program. a game where you play an adorable little astronaut on a beautiful designed level, perfect audio design and frankly just an amazing game.
Nice job! :D
Love the graphics, style and atmosphere. A real gem. I enjoyed driving round, but ended up getting stuck near the red pad. Great job!
