That's pretty fun, I like the homage! The sounds hurt my ears though lol, should be toned down a bit. The gameplay is pretty fun though, and concept is really solid, I like it!

The online leaderboard was a nice touch.

a pretty nice little game, however i ran out of newspapers to deliver and they seem to be very scarce around the place, i maybe saw one every 10 minutes and every time on the opposite side of the tracks, give me more newspapers to shoot dammit! Good job btw

@noobdude thanks for playing! Newspapers are always on the left side of the mailbox and there is a stack every 10 mailboxes (the random generation on the level may sometime cover a stack with a building)

Best strategy when you are out of papers is to move left of the mailboxes (but be careful not to hit a building!)

A small game but really fun, the leaderboard is a good idea. Because of that I've played a lot trying to go up this board.

Leader board is awesome. Controls feel nice. Definitely captures that paperboy vibe, which is rad as heck. As a drone, I did want to fly over some of the obstacles, especially when skimming the edge to get more papers. I dig it

It's quite a short game, with very bare bone graphics, simple gameplay and snappy controls, but I agree with the others, the leader board was a great idea. I think it would greatly benefit from some additional audio, like a sound track and maybe some ambient sounds.

solid game and the leaderboard kept me coming back. Only gripe I have is that the pickups are few and far between and really easy to miss.

good ol' paperboy mechanics

Nice simple game. Impressive you managed to include a scoreboard. Great job!

Very retro. Great difficulty curve too, I had time to get used to the game before it started getting really fast. Well done!

alexfsmirnov 2023-05-03 17:46

I like the concept of having to think about two things - delivering newspapers and avoiding traffic. Scoreboard is a nice touch too :)

Pretty fun, I like the movement controls for a drone. Being able to control where you shoot would make it more fun I think, and having a few more newspaper drops would be nice so you dont have to wait too long if you miss one of the pickups.

Challenging game! I liked having to time the shooting precisely while navigating traffic. The controls felt a little "mushy" to me, but I got the hang of it after a couple tries. Hard to get more on theme than delivering newspapers!

I'm terrible at delivery papers but the game is really fun to play even though I'm bad at it. The graphic are cool in a retro style and the universal scoreboard is a great touch.

Neat little game, the mailboxes' hitbox should be larger and the newspapers should appear more often. Otherwise, trying to make a 3D Paperboy was an interesting idea. Good job !

xcarl 2023-05-03 21:00

Interesting idea! I think the new newspapers should appear more frecuently, if you miss one you have to wait too much for another one to spawn. Great job!

eli-delventhal 2023-05-03 23:03

Decent little Paperboy offshoot. It's really tough to aim without getting right next to each box and you're screwed if you don't find the paper re-ups, but it was fun. Not a ton here yet, would be good to see some more.

Very fun, even tho I suck! Lol. Cute graphics and the online leaderboard is great!

paulhocker 2023-05-04 03:34

was very hard to get the timing right on the delivery. after i ran out of papers there only seems to be one chace to pickup more. thanks for making the game.

blotosaur 2023-05-04 04:33

Nice idea and cool that there is a leaderboard! The one time I could get the extra paper stack, I crashed haha. Got a high score of 7.
