Really liked the idea!! It made my brain explode xD Just a small suggestion: it would be great if labels weren't hidden by other characters or the green mat.

Wow, this is amazing, and absolutely hilarious! Enjoyed this so much. Well done! Such a unique idea and I can see this being so fun for a party game.

This was so so so funny! I loved the voices. The entire idea of the game was so silly but really unique. The postman battles were really creative, too! Your art style was really cool, too. I don't have anything really constructive to say as I just really enjoyed this one.

My brain trying to figure out why im pressing w to go forward but going backwards scares me. Fun, unique idea. I enjoyed the game!

This game hurt my brain after having sleep deprivation from the jam :laughing:

Nice idea and I loved the art style. Great work on the couch co-op!

The game concept is ingenious, even if I go crazy when I press the wrong keys xD I also love the fact that you have the chance to make up for your mistake in a duel. I also find the styling very unique. It's also great that you can choose your character. In general, I find it very successful.

I like the visuals and the games atmosphere. The gameplay idea is fun, but playing it is a bit frustrating. Overall an interesting little jam game.

Interesting little game, sadly I played solo so couldn't get the proper party game experience.

Would love to see a little more going on. More mechancs on the board and more mechanics in a battle. Not much actual interaction between players, maybe there should be ways to interfere with eachothers inputs etc.

Bizarre sound and art style, but that's a good thing sometimes. Definitely a memorable game, but I felt like it just needed a bit more going on.

Didn't understand what I had to do at first, specially being a single player, but once i understood i was battling the other AI it clicked.

This is a really interesting concept, my brain did not understand why my inputs were not working as usual haha.

Also, I like how we made completely different games with the same mail man concept!

Great job!

intresting game, i will try and test this with friends, should be really fun! the random movement keys blowed my mind :D

tetrergeru 2023-05-02 15:12

The game has neat visuals and an interesting gameplay concept.

Despite it doesn't feel like my cup of tea, I'd say it has the potential to be a fun party game!

Nice work! It`s a bit frustrating that sometimes the bots just spawn next to the finish line and that we can`t see controls when against a wall, but the concept is really good! Would be really fun to play a non-jam/polished version with friends! Great job!

This game breaks my brain, but I like it!

cheesepencil 2023-05-02 19:08

ADORABLE i loved it

Thanks for hanging out in the stream and bringing your game!

Here is a link to the VOD that starts at your section. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1809875425?t=05h04m04s

Interesting game. Sometimes enemies disappear or combine as one making some interesting glitches (multiple characters overlapping in POSTMAN BATTLE).

tempestcognitor 2023-05-03 11:19

The voice lines were amazing, loved hearing Postman Battle! Classic controls were quite easy, random controls broke by mind, but I really enjoyed the individual battles - it's almost like a dance-off. Could be cool if the drop off point was randomised.

thaprofesional 2023-05-03 11:20

Really cool graphics loved the 2D but really 3D feel. Loved the difficulty of moving around with randomised controls forced me to keep having to think which was uncomfortable in a good way.

timbaleek 2023-05-03 15:10

The idea of battling postmen is really fun, i liked the multiplayer and the battles. I didn't really understand the scoring, as everyone who carried the package before it was delivered recieved points for it. Otherwise, really neat idea :)

cattymations 2023-05-04 07:42

Pretty funny game with a unique idea!

nivbeth 2023-05-04 14:57

Cute game, though the changing controls were a bit too hard for me to compete against the AI :sweat_smile: I loved the art style & sound effects though. Great job!

i-iv-v-i 2023-05-04 15:28

Really enjoyed the voice acting, reminded me of our own project for this jam XD Great concept, good execution, pretty challenging! Haven't beaten it yet, gonna try to get free friends and come back to it.

pixelstuff 2023-05-04 15:30

Interesting concept! I'm not very skilled with the controls, but once I got a better grip, I really enjoyed the potential of the party game among friends. Congratulations on the idea!

2023-05-05 13:24

Very cute characters! I included it in my Ludum Dare 53 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. https://youtu.be/3W4lG4WsUMw

This game could easily become a really fun party-board game to play. The audio is silly and the gameplay - although hard - seems like it would be funny as shit to play with friends. The only real problem is the top key being hidden by the box so sometimes you cant see what button to press.

yellowkamel 2023-05-05 13:48

Thank you for subbmitting to my stream! There seem to be some input issues to be ironed out, but pretty fun idea nonetheless! :v:

kitira 2023-05-05 17:38

Very cool game idea and art style. Nice game!

yellow 2023-05-06 01:47

This is something I didn't expect, the mechanism was actually achieved by changing the control method, great work!
