Glad to see another animal courier service game! :grin: The artwork is absolutely amazing, I loved it. Congrats on the great submission! Is it your first jam game? If so well done making such a solid game for your first jam! The only issue I had was I found it difficult to know if I was in the correct lane to hit the parcel, but it wasn't too bad.

Really nice little game ! The music is super nice, it makes my day ! Great job to you folks !

shamantramp 2023-05-01 22:36

It is our first gamejam ever indeed ! Thanks for the feedback :D

enver-arco 2023-05-01 22:54

Great attempt for your first game jam. Well done

hora-timer 2023-05-01 22:55

Very good and funny I loved it haha

jonathan-vinesar 2023-05-01 23:23

That's some funky music! The graphic and music are both amazing. The game was pretty fun too! One thing I realized is that you could spam the mouse button because the swing animation is only visual. Made it to 49000$ with that, haha. That mouse is going to jail for a long time

I love a well polished side scroller, you guys did brilliantly! Massive kudos to your artist.

jaxah 2023-05-02 13:20

Wonderful art and music! Good job on your first game jam!

drunkardwolf 2023-05-02 13:21

Fun game, art looks really good too :) Good work

oradimi 2023-05-02 13:22

The graphics are very interesting, and the core idea is fun indeed, well done!

rojaxdev 2023-05-02 13:23

Really nice game, the art is so nice!

Nice game loop and visual feedback of what was happening, i did find it difficult to be on the same depth as the vehicle however but enjoyed the game despite that!

forager 2023-05-02 13:24

Really like the houses and props. Well drawn. Cute being a lil vandal delivery man who gets in trouble with the police. Definitely got a laugh out of that. Good work and congrats on your first jam!

attala 2023-05-02 13:25

The artwork is really good, well done. The gameplay is simple but fun. The features that wasn't added would have made this even better. A mechanic to "slow down" the chasing police car would have done wonders. Great submission.

hwaet 2023-05-02 13:27

Great game! I loved the music from the start. I'm not sure how the aim works, but I got a decently high score. I can't wait to see more.

bezedh 2023-05-02 13:36

and I can't wait to deliver more :D But our poor coder definitely needs some rest right now ahah !

fabula-rasa 2023-05-02 13:44

It's just awesome that you get additional points for pure vandalism :laughing:

As you definitely know, both your graphics and your soundscape are superb and go well with one another. The animation style gives the game a bit of a paper-cutout feel that I very much enjoy.

I encountered no bugs and the whole experience feels polished. Definitely inviting a few replays. Great work!

omrilahav 2023-05-02 13:46

Had a great time trying this out, the fun atmosphere and cute character mesh well with the game's unique method of mail delivery! Well done!

moebiusmeow 2023-05-02 14:02

Well done for your first entry!

The artwork is great! The concept is interesting and the soundtrack makes the game even better. I've got $68700 in the end XD

ethernalstudio 2023-05-02 18:14

A really interesting game honestly, cant belive they did it so quickly.

jcmonkey 2023-05-02 18:43

this was a fun game to play, kind of like paperboy with a fixed perspective and camera facing.

chancea 2023-05-02 20:56

Really cute concept! Looks great, sounds great, lotta fun. Great work all around!

ruslana 2023-05-02 22:49

Interesting art and idea

shannonhg 2023-05-02 23:01

Nice concept! The gameplay is fun, the music is great, and the art is unique and cool. My only complaints are that it can be a bit hard to tell where a box is going to go when you hit it, and speeding up the bat swing animation would improve it a lot.

Also, being able to break objects in the environment is a nice touch!

braveskin 2023-05-03 00:50

Very fun style of art and music! Timing the shots gets very satisfying especially toward the end. Good entry!

conradoclark 2023-05-03 01:19

I was surprised when I saw that this was the first game you made, congrats! It's so full of life and fun! I like how you can destroy the environment, and the glass shattering sound has a nice ring to it!

There's a dominant strategy is this game which is spamming the hell out of the mouse button, so a cooldown between swings would work nice, but wrecking all the stuff was v fun so there's that haha.

Oh and the music is great! Good job and keep goin!

ruruie 2023-05-03 01:23

This is such an unreasonable amount of fun. I had no idea what was going on, only that I was hitting things and breaking windows and it was all super satisfying. Great work!!

Look, I've saved the day or something. Some kind of day was saved, somewhere.

agrimes 2023-05-03 01:30

At first I was moving up and down to hit the packages, but once I figured out I could stand still and hit them anywhere, it got a lot more entertaining.

maximbegunov 2023-05-03 09:29

I like a lot of graphics in this game, especially cute looking mice characters.

zandramas 2023-05-03 18:04

This was super fun! Also, the graphics are amazing!

thomaspixelart 2023-05-03 21:46

That was fun! The game is nice but you can just spam the left click and just play forever hahaha the map sometimes doesn't loop well but overall it's a fun game! Congratz to the team, and the characters are so cute :star: image.png

maskrosen 2023-05-04 07:38

Beautiful art on this one, good job!

xschaumix 2023-05-04 07:50

Love the artstyle! The game is really fun too! Great Job!

twowolf 2023-05-04 07:50

I just had to play because of the interesting art style. Nice use of multi-layer parallax too. Really enjoyed causing mayhem overall, and the sfx really made it for this game, not to mention that funky bgm.

lucdeligne 2023-05-04 08:19

Very impressive for a first game! And kudos to your artist, that is a *ton* of assets! (Though if may offer a small niptick on the art, it's a bit hard to tell everything apart. Maybe clever use of contrast and tint could help?)

Anyway the concept is original and clever and the game feels good, just choatic and messy enough to be fun. Good job!

boeruchan 2023-05-04 10:34

cute concept, and nice art

duke-ua 2023-05-04 11:27

Very nice art-style, I like it. First several tries I couldn't understand what the score paying for, but after I got it - that was fun =)

j0ye 2023-05-04 12:14

Who in the world has that many hydrants on one house, let alone one street? It took me a couple of swings(lol) to get the hang of it, but I think I figured it out in the end. What first struck me were the graphics. The colors don't really create a lot of contrast between what is interesting to the player and what is in the background. But I would still say it's a great art style. You rarely see something like that for a game jam.

elisagonda 2023-05-04 18:12

props are so cool! i really liked the style and the little guy is so cute<3

saltysa 2023-05-05 19:47

This was fun! I loved destroying everything even if that meant getting caught, and I really liked the paralax and visuals of the game!

synthol 2023-05-06 01:52

Nice game especially for your first jam! I like the graphics and audio. It's one of those simple but addictive fun games so good job!

fear-games 2023-05-07 12:35

Love the art. Really pretty game! Good audio too.

sauski 2023-05-07 12:53

As others have said - visual were fantastic. For me, the gameplay was tough to understand completely. The lack of in game feedback left me wondering if I was doing well or not, then I got as score at the end and had no idea how my actions had really contributed to it.

graphicedit 2023-05-07 15:53

very nice :v:

francis 2023-05-08 07:10

I just ended up spamming left click and smashing everything XD Didn't realize in the game that the different windows were worth different point values. I was aiming it at first, but then decided it was easier to spam :p Would be nice if the level had a set length so that I'm progressing towards some end goal, and also makes it worth focusing on trying to aim for more efficient scoring objectives rather than just doing whatever. Cute art!

thomaslebel 2023-05-08 16:49

Really nice game ! It's so fun to smash everything ahah It could have been cool to throw package to the police car too ^^

arsher 2023-05-09 15:18

Drawn quite nicely. It's amusing to hit parcels and smash things. The bad thing It is very hard to lose in this game, it kind of reduces the excitement. But most importantly, it's fun to play. Cool project.

ardorugus 2023-05-10 04:12

Love the art. Don't see the challenge or the story evolved, but it feels fun to play for a while. Good entry.

adamcyounis 2023-05-18 08:52

Heya! What a unique looking game and concept. I appreciated the originality in the interpretation of the theme, and how you awarded player skill with aiming the bat, while punishing for missed hits. I felt that some of the finer points of how the game worked could have been more obvious within the game itself (point distribution of window colours etc).

I thought the graphics and sounds were great, and while the gameplay is simple, it brought what it needed to in the time I had with it.

Thanks for sharing!
