I loved this! Definitely seeing the mini motorways vibe here. Was definitely fairly challenging to start out (I tried 3 times, didn't get to the mopeds/vans), but I'm starting to see some cool strategies. Vibe and style also v on point. Do kinda wish there was a mute button. Music was great for a short session but I'd probably put on my own stuff if I was gonna play longer.

It took me a while to figure out the controls, but it was fun. Sometimes the route drawing gets clunky and parcels are not appearing in a new game after the game over. Otherwise it was a nice game.
cool game. really smooth animations and graphics. pathfinding can be difficult to program but it looks like you nailed it. I feel like my only complaint is that the progression could be a little faster, even with the fast forward button (which is a nice touch).

This game is super good, nice work. Lots of replay ability in one map too. I don't really have any critique.
Very nice presentation. Only problem I had was a slight bug once getting a route to catch on the roads, but easily fixed by going back a step and trying again.

A really fun and captivating game! I adore games in the style of MiniMotorways/MiniMetro, and this game definitely lives up to this "genre", but has its own unique dynamics - especially because unlike the aforementioned games, here the player has to work with a pre-determined grid of streets, which definitely adds to the challenge in an engaging way. The only issues I have run into was that sometimes, drawing the routes over corners was a bit difficult, but that was more of a minor thing. Also, either I have not found out how to do it, or it's not possible - but it was a bit tedious that I couldn't rearrange the existing routes, but had to draw them completely anew once a new destination appeared. In any way, thank you for creating this wonderful game! :)

This was great, played for more than 30 minutes without even realizing it! Very relaxing mood, clear visuals, everything works smoothly and even requires some thinking when planning the routes, definitely one of my favorites in ludum dare so far!
Agree with @turtmusic style of MiniMotorways/MiniMetro is awesome, but this game fine tweak it and make more cool! Had a great time playing this! Overall good and cool!
I'm a sucker for Mini Metro so this was right up my alley. Clean UI and a good color palette too. Sometimes is wasn't easy to get track of routes that overlapped, but nothing game-breaking. Very chill yet stressful experience.
loved it! super chill, quite addicting!

Super simple, super fun, and super stylized - Really, really fantastic job with this. It gets really hectic pretty fast, but whether or not that's a good or bad thing is up to your tastes. Definitely one of the best games of the jam!
Very good vibes and I think a nice recreation of the Mini Metro/Motorways set of games. I appreciate that this one is less free-form than those entries though, with the explicit map. I would have liked to have seen the "goodies" appear sooner, like it would have been fun to experiment with a mail truck sooner than 7 weeks, but regardless this was a very charming entry and I really appreciate the effort that went into the polish and experience for it - it shows!
Delicious! Totally addictive!
Nothing more to say!!

Congrats on creating a great, engaging management game! I think it has a good balance, proper mechanics, and it feels complete and polished overall. The potential stress of needing to manage delivery routes in time is balanced out by the nice music. Spot on choice there! Loved the upgrades system / weeks passing, this was like a carrot that motivated me to continue as long as possible.
At the beginning, the message "Make sure the route..." spawns for each new delivery node and it clutters the smaller screens, blocking the view somewhat. E.g. I had three of these at some point I think. I get it that most players would follow the tutorial quickly and draw the lines where needed, then the message disappears. But I'd probably stick this message behind a bool so it only shows in max one place at a time.
Again, really well done!
