Funny little game ! It was not so easy to aim right ! :smiley:
average quality even for a prototype
Took me a few tries to get going, but I really enjoyed it once I figured it out. The art and music is a vibe.
Awesome little game!! Great concept, quite relaxing to play.. Love the art style.. Controls were easy to master.. Music just fit the mood perfectly.. great job!!
A simple little delivery game. I liked when a bird would hit me and it would drop the package right where it needed to go, lol.
Hey :)
I have to say, I really enjoyed the game and had a fun time playing it. Surprisingly, the first level seemed much harder to me than the following two or three levels, but maybe that was just me learning from the first few failed attempts!
I only got to level 6 though until I had to give up. The birds felt too overwhelming in that level and I just could not manage to get through their swarms. This also was sometimes a bit frustrating, as in some cases, it was just impossible to dodge all birds and make the next delivery. Together with the rather high threshold for passing the level, I ended up quitting the game before finishing it. I nonetheless had a lot of fun while playing it though :)
One suggestion I have would be to allow restarting the game while you play without having to crash the balloon. Just allow pressing "R" during the level as well, so I can restart quicker when I know the birds already got me :D I also encountered a little bug, during level 6 I sometimes had multiple packages at once (did I hit space too often or maybe I got hit by a bird at the wrong time?). But overall, the game played really well.
@philocode thanks for the detailed feedback! We agree, the game could use more balancing (there was a physics hiccup right before upload, but it was almost too easy before that anyways). Also, you've found the elusive bug! It's been evading us because we're having a hard time recreating it. And totally with you on the quick restart!
Incredible game, one of the few i actually played for a long time her. The style is incredible. Controls are very responsive. the idea is pretty neat plus the overall mood and vibes are really positive and comfortable. Really good game keep it up...
The game is harder than it seems! the fact you only have one chance for each package and the physics makes it harder than other similar games. I liked the music and the overall chill vibe
A very simple game, it's difficult to control the helicopter and calculate the delivery lead time while avoiding pigeons. However, sometimes hitting a pigeon can knock the package directly into the basket, which makes the game very interesting. I really like the graphics and the addition of music adds to the overall enjoyment. I like this game.
Once I realized the packages had to match the color of the basket it got easier, hah. This game has a great vibe, it was relaxing and fun to play, and I loved when the bird hit the package into the correct bin. Also I liked the forgiving hit box of the bins, and I thought the controls were generally perfect for the game. My favorite part, though, was that when I got a D it stood for "delightful," you got a snort-laugh outta me for that one. Good work.
it was a fun experience and I enjoyed the music.
Really appreciate that the game is built into the game page. Also the decision to go with more simple controls that have more complicated interactions with the world is well executed here. Very well thought out!
Congratulations very nice game and incredible atmosphere!
Fun gameplay! It's a little bit flappy bird, a little bit lunar lander, with a really cute grading system at the end of the end of the stage. Enjoyed my time with it :lollipop:
I love the vibe of this game. Even though it might be simple I think the visuals are great and make it very cosy. I think the game was a little hard for what it is though, I imagine you probably got quite good at dropping the packages while you tested non stop through development but for me it took a few tries on the first level. I'm also not sure how the grading system works because I did every package and hit no birds on the first level but only got a B, then on the second level I did the same but didn't even get the passing grade (not sure what more I can do).
Handling the helicopter thing felt very nice though, good job on nailing that satisfying hovering feeling. Dropping the packages too. Overall I think this was a really good attempt as there are lots of things you got right, just a little work needed on difficulty/gameplay variation.
Really great game. I enjoyed it a lot, the controls feel very natural and polished and it was very satisfying to deliver packages. The music together with art made for a very great experience. The only thing i think would work better is to have pigeons be not randomized so it wouldn't requiere that much RNG and you could master the levels.
Great graphics and sound. Some levels I thought I did fine just to find out it wasn't enough in the end, but very satisfying to calculate the distance to the drop.
Took a few minutes to get the hang of the controls, but that's quite fast compared to other entries I've played! The controls are fun and responsive, nothing I would suggest to change. Theme is spot on and the art style is cute. Love how it gets more difficult with each level as the buildings get higher and there are more birds. And lastly, the music - I love it! Really like the lo-fi vibe of the background music, really works well for such a chill game. Nothing too complicated, but think since everything works well together, this is a solid entry.
Wow! I loved the graphics and the small details that you added to the propeller, and I loved how satisfying it was to fly around!
great gameplay concept! I like the overall mood a lot, the musics fits very well (and I love the background art) <3 it feels a little hard to control the vehicle, but otherwise I had a lot of fun playing! the pigeons are a nice addition to make the gameplay even more challenging and interesting. great job!
The graphics in this game may be humble, but they effectively serve the gameplay and contribute to an enjoyable and immersive experience
Was very cool
Awesome game! real fun! Great entry :)
