This game is very fun and creative. The mechanics are simple, yet make room for so much skill expression from the player. Risk and reward is here, and it's very fulfilling to interact with. Juggling the boxes across enemies while keeping a speedy pace feels incredibly therapeutic, and is only enhanced by the fantastic feel of the controls themselves. I love the aesthetic this game has because of its ability to have consistency with "Annalynn" while also feeling fresh and new. I can't wait to play more games made by Cruise Elroy.

Awesome job, dude! I've always loved the original Mario Bros. Arcade, and I think this mixes up that classic formula perfectly!
Also, really love the sprite work, it looks exactly like it's from a mix of SMB1 and Mario Bros, but it's not on the nose, it's very pleasant!

Nice job, WASD wasn't working at first for some reason, but then it did. So not sure if it was on my end or not. Overall nice.

Wow, I was not expecting to get nostalgia for Mappy, especially considering I hardly played that game. Your game does such a great job of emulating classic games while simultaneously being a fun and super well polished experience in it of itself. Simply outstanding job!

Very good! If I didn't know any better I would think this was a real arcade game. Quite fun!
Spectacular!! Amazing arcade game- risk-reward, lots of fun emergent stuff going on, tons of little details and wonderful additions... just a top notch entry! You captured that very certain part of the arcade-era very well, but it definitely feels a lot more responsive and even-handed than some of its inspirations. Also, just all around beautiful animation and extremely well-done (but not OVER done!) spritework, especially for the coworker who hangs out in the van. My high score is $1214.5, but I could probably beat it with a few more attempts. :-) (Oh, and PS: I almost forgot to mention- the 'package damage' mechanic is genius, and really encourages taking strategic risks and getting creative with throws- really reminded of Spelunky in that way!)
the controls took a bit to get used to (I keep wanting to hit spacebar to jump), but overall a very entertaining game!
Love this one, really fun and great visuals/audio. Found it a bit difficult, but had fun with it. Good job :)

Very fun great twist and extremely well delivered, good job.
Really, really nice. Great emulation of classic pixel art styles, perfect little chiptune SFX. And just like the classics: way too hard for me, but I keep retrying.
It's the best LD 53 game I've played so far. We recognize the inspiration of Mario Bros. And I love the NES style. It would have been nice if you could jump on the enemy from below like in the original game. Anyway, nice job! :thumbsup:

Love the style and sound effects! Once I learned that I can throw it made a world of difference! Solid entry

Cool game! And quite difficult as well. Was a bit surprised I cannot kill enemies by stepping on them (Mario-like appearance can be deceiving).
Visuals are great, sfx are very atmospheric, no bugs noticed. Great entry!
X THROWS THE PACKAGE??? MY HEART 🤣
Was really fun. Got through the first two levels. Sound and graphics are authentic. Physics is great. Lack of attacks against the mice was really frusterating, as far as I could tell you just have to wait for them.
edit: Never mind, I read the controls. Game's a lot more playable realizing I can stun enemies without damaging the goods 😀 Still a tough game, but super authentic and with enough patience it's definitely surmountable.
I really liked this game! It was fun! The classic NES feeling and sound is amazing. I see much inspiration taken from old the old mario bros game. I also feel like it is well balanced. Could easily kill more time than I would like to with this game.
So that's why my packages always arrive late & in bad shape...

Awesome game. I really love the retro style and it was executed perfectly. Just a clean and well polished game
The graphics and audio are an amazing throwback! I kept imagining I could jump on the critters, which made my customers less than happy. Overall, the game had an abundance of fun and challenge. Well done!
This was made really well and was really fun! quite enjoyed playing this game!

ABSOLUTELY LOVELY

thank you for this awesome game
Excellent little game. Just the right scope for the jam. Controls feel excellent, graphics and sound are authentic. One of the best I've played so far!
Love it. Nailed the theme. Hits on the retro style and feels great to play, but I wish there was a power up to play with too, especially for the extra pesky pests. Sometimes it felt like there was nothing to do except tank the hits. Great game overall, congrats!
Great entry! Loved the classic Mario Bros call back. Great use of the theme. had a lot of fun with this one.
Well I think i just found the best game of the compo. Seriously, the gameplay is perfect, the graphics are amazing.. It is fun, quite challenging to keep a 5/5 delivery rating. Excellent game. Thank you very much !

Loved the art and music, feels just like the NES games. Really fun and the enemies we're really cute.
I love the vibe of game. The sound and graphics give me some really nostalgic feelings. And it was really fun to play. Great work!

The look and feel of this game is so perfect
Awesome, huge Annalyn fan, I really enjoyed this, a mix between SMB and the original Mario bros arcade game, levels are clever, feels fun to stun 3 enemies at once and then go to the door for big points! Despite it being styled after NES it feels so polished. Well done.
this is just perfect, love it so much
The NES vibes are strong here, from fonts to graphics and sfx. Cool little game, hard to find a negative aspect. Congratulations.

Really great game! The graphics kind of remind me of Donkey Kong!
it felt like I was playing a game on gameboy color :D
Authentic retro experience. I'm in love with the graphics and sound - just *chefs kiss*. Gameplay is difficult but I imagine you could get quite good at it given time.
Loved the homage to one of my favourite arcade/Black Box games. It really nailed the look and feel of those early NES games and almost made me want to port it to the NES myself being that weirdo who makes NES games for LD :joy:
Absolutely brilliant!!!

Great game! I liked the Mario/Mailman mashup. Great retro style, great juice, great mechanics. You can use the package to kill enemies, but it's risky, you may break the package which is your first priority!

Absolutely nailed the NES era aesthetics, right on down to the audio and responses and everything. The callback to the past was astounding, it actually made me want to take up NES again, especially for those cryptic games I never saw the ending of.
This is just excellent. Totally faithful to the early 80s NES games. Simple mechanics but executed to perfection! Absolutely loved the entire presentation, especially the responses from the customers
What a nostalgia trip! Wonderful game, well done! :D

Really enjoyed how arcade and cohesive the game felt. Especially the walking sounds and the score calculation!
I saved it to play more. An outstanding retelling. The Mario Bros aesthetic has been successfully acquired. And the addition of the theme was very well done. Congratulations!
I have to say that this is my favorite game so far! I have returned to it several time.
Utterly amazing! You've made the perfect retro-feel game based both 1) on the jam's theme and 2) a classic video game too! You've made it your own! I can't stop playing this, it's great! 5/5 across the board, this deserves to win! <3
Leaving another comment to let you know I enjoyed this so much I downloaded the source to hack together a fullscreen option with gamepad support so I could play on my CRT.

@bonzochuff That's awesome!! I'm really impressed with how it looks on a CRT, wowie.
I had one look at this game and knew I had to play it! The execution of making your own Mario Bros inspired game was fantastic! You even captured the jittering walking animation from the original game. Excellent work!
Love the attention to detail in creating a faithful retro game. Game mechanics are super straightforward and the game plays exactly how I'd have expected a full release to play in the 80s. I honestly can't really think of any constructive criticism. Nicely done, and good luck in the jam!

amazing!!!I cant believe this game is maed in so short time,the old style game art and vfx is perfect,I like this one very much
The classic graphics, music, and gameplay are all outstanding. It brings back such nostalgic memories of playing Mario Bros. as a kid (the one in smb3). Well Done.
Very fun and well polished. Well done!
Love this homage to the OG Mario Bros. Really faithful to the games of the era. You've got a new follower!
Really cool game! It fits the theme perfectly, it's challenging enough for a jam. Really well executed, congrats for your entry!
Just a super polished early NES style game, I can see this being released as an NES game today for retro game enthusiasts. Game feel is great, the mechanics of throwing packages to kill enemies is tricky but satisfying when you get the hang of it. One nitpick is the lack of game music, but this is totally understandable given similar games of the era.

Really polished controls. Liked the Mario inspired graphics. Overall had fun playing it.
Very nice retro experience, highly enjoyed it! Reminds me of the good ol' days of blasting away at the arcades. Simple and fun and that's how I love these games, graphics were amazing too! Overall awesome job!

Had a lot of fun playing. Didn't progress too far, but might give it another chance later. Fits the theme and enemy progression was nice. Some tough snails.
i loved everything about this game. nice old school vibe and superb graphics and audio. great game!
Absolutely incredible! NES arcade platformers are one of my favorite aesthetics, and this game just nails it!
Super Delivery Man. I had to hold my urge to bump my head on the platforms to focus on delivery and avoiding pests instead.

Just excellent. It's a great twist on Mario Bros and captures that classic arcade games, black box NES games vibes (something you are good at, Annalynn is fantastic). The art and sound are perfect and the gameplay fun, though too challenging for me! I really struggled when the number of rats increased.

Looks and sounds like the real thing. The controls are tight and fair. I managed to die a lot :D. Perhaps not the most original thing but everything is well executed.
Great classic feel, not only in the visuals,but also the sound and feel of the physics. Difficulty was just right IMO, challenging as I would expect it to be in the classic style. Nice take on the theme and suitable homage to the greats, No complaints.
