Missive Defense

Is it necessary to have so many colors? I had trouble telling them apart, especially with how subtle the colors on the envelope sprites are. Also, I see the missiles in your screenshot, but I couldn't figure out how to fire them. I only ever got letters, and it took me a while to figure out how to throw them. It's a funny concept, though, and I like the gauge used to indicate score.

i don't think i fully understand how all the systems are intended to combine but i'm interested in all the stuff going on in here! the drag and fling gameplay is fun (if finnicky/unpolished), and so is the difficult colour matching.

some kind of political idea is at work behind the scenes, tho the specifics i'm really unclear on... maybe i missed something in the news. SOME system-metaphor is definitely in place, although to me an incoherent one. i expect that is because it is unfinished, and you had a few more pieces to put into place for it to all click

There's a compelling simple game in here; drag-and-flick envelopes to get rid of smiley faces. Clear as many as possible. Use missiles to clear clumps. Don't let the envelopes you need get buried when you need them! I found drag-and-flick to be very finicky with my mouse; maybe this would work better if I were playing it on a mobile touchscreen, and if the envelopes were a little bigger.

This game is clever and cute, the mechanics are fun, and I can't imagine the effort put into physics. Overall great game, it made me smile.

I had fun just throwing mail around honestly haha. Simple but simple fun!

I sort of liked dragging and flinging the mail to try and hit the smiley faces, but I don't think i even got close to making enough money for missiles (was using a mouse), unless I am missing something. Nice work so far though!
