Nice Game. Sometimes when you deliver it directly it doesn't count.

I feel like I'm controlling a floppy fish, but I guess I just couldn't get used to the wobbly-ness of the bicycle (seems like a variation of tank controls kind of where directions change the angle). Difficult for me. I think this game is similar to an old game I played a long time ago, but not sure. Good work!

Pretty good, the one hit death is a bit frustrating, but otherwise I enjoyed this.

Fun to play around with - feels a little QWOP-y, in a good way. it's easy to get stuck though. Good game!

Awesome! deliver the package into their face! hahahaha! great game!

This is fun, lmao! I got stuck in a house, it would be good to add backpedaling. The graphics are really good! :)

Great little Godot game - it's a Paper Boy dupe, and that game was awesome, so this game is awesome! I did genuinely really enjoy this game, almost like Qwop Delivery Service or something. I think backpedaling like freamdev suggested would massively improve this, but otherwise, very well done!

I've might have missed something, but it seems like I cannot press any button in your web build (itch)

very fun. i got 2210 score! i like the direct delivery mechanic.

Quite tricky! Nice job.

Fun game! I like the the tilting bike. It was a little frustrating to get a game over for lightly tapping a pedestrian. Maybe make it so hitting stuff reduces your health based on how hard you hit?

Thank you all for playing! Not really sorry for the high difficulty, I was going for a classic arcade feel, so don't forget to insert a coin for each new run ;)

@buni Sorry to hear that, seems to work for most. There is also a win64 build, or maybe try the web build on mobile for some extra difficulty?

@adan1032 That is quite good! My high score is at 2400

The movement feels smooth - hard to control, but seems like something you could master. I think some ambient sounds like a cycling sfx or bgm could be a nice addition. Nice work

Good. I like the bike and graphics. Should add a health system to the bike though as it is slightly too hard to avoid the pedestrians.

@fnelix I enjoyed the classic arcade feel until I ran out of coins... I'm going to need a new stack.

I appreciate the simple goodness of this game. The multiple ways to score added some good variety to the game and left the door open for all sorts of additional mechanics (if you wanted them - I for one am in favor of a jump through a ring of fire :fire:).

I'll admit, I didn't manage to get run over by a truck, but I enjoyed the many other ways you gave me to terminate my delivery run early.

Thanks for sharing your game!

Kinda funny and unexpected when you can "direct delivery" to the pedestrians XD

zealous-coder 2023-05-02 11:38

I like the controls for the bike well done. Sadly I didn't hear any audio on the web version. (Edit it was the browser) I'll try desktop though. And I also got some extreme slow downs after a few attempts where i slowly crawled into a trash can.

nanixdev 2023-05-02 13:40

Reminds me of the NES game Paperboy. Well done, the controls felt good. The perspective made controlling it a little difficult. Well done though!

zombiebust3r 2023-05-02 14:14

Love the variety to get points. Would have loved to have a shadow on the bike to be able to tell the height of the character in the air when jumping. Other than that very fun to play.

cole-hutson 2023-05-02 15:06

I like the flavor text on deliveries nice and funny touch especially when you hit pedestrians. I know you were going for frustrating and that's what this made me haha. But really good entry!

rjerez192 2023-05-02 17:30

Really nice controls. The game is super fun but difficult. I like the art also, a lot for the little time you had. One small thing is that if you collide with the side bushes, it is a pain to get away from them (with no backwards movement).

Overall very nice!

I love the tight controls, the bike feels great to pilot and everything is super smooth, tossing the packages is cute but I think they were a bit too hard to land, maybe some auto lockon or a targeting reticle would help? It was really hard to actually line up packages.

The game itself is actually quite hard, surprisingly so. The erratic movement of the bike and the rapid pace of obstacles really keeps you on your toes. A slower ramp up would be nice, and maybe more than 1 life would have really helped the game flow better.

Overall it's awesome, a really nice little compo game and I wanna say again how nice the controls felt, the bike feels fun to control and the whole game feels super responsive, loved it.

Pretty frustrating but enjoyable ! The controls on the bike take some time to get used to, but that also make the game more fun imo. Liked it :)
