Nicely done! :) Love the simplistic art style ^^ Very relaxing game

The art looks really nice but I can't close the "Work complete/Thanks for playing" window on a web version (I can play with the window open). Is there some key to close it? Thank you

Really cool game, it took me some time to figure out what to do because it was hard to find the shop and item spawn but once i understood my mission it became really fun. I wish my stamina filled faster because it's a big map, i understand the booster concept but i ended up buying a lot of carry item space untill i had all the quests really close from me and once I finished, the game froze. But really cool, congratz to the team! Loved the aesthetic

@jona-scheidig Thank you :)

@dominikam33 Huh strange, you should be able to press space to close it. I appreciate it anyway

@thomaspixelart Yeah there could be better indications for that for sure, Thanks for the feedback and for playing :)

Gave it a second try and this time the window appeared at the end instead of the beginning (and I was able to close it)(same setup). Total Gold: 5750. Really fun game :D

@dominikam33 Much appreciated that you went back and tried it again <3

Nice! Art kinds of reminds me of Pokemon.

Loved the pico-style! For the first time the exclamation mark was not doing anything, after second try it worked like it probably should, nice game, solid entry. Congrats to you!

Very cozy game, love the art and audio! At first I didn't understand that bought items needed to be picked up and used, but cool mechanic once I figured it out :) An upgrade to increase the stamina regen rate would be cool.

Very impressive! Great graphics, great music. It took me a while to figure out how to play (I must have walked by the shop so many times before I realized that I could actually buy things there); more tutorial or instructions would be helpful. Once I figured it out it was really neat!

Its really cool how the game is very chill and cozy despite having a time counter, that is hard to do lol. The pixel art is very charming and the upgrade system works really well, movement also feels great. Good work!

Really great artwork, love the way the character runs around. Although maybe 10 minutes is too long a time give volume of gold to collect. Great vibes too

Wooow excellent game! It took me a while to get the upgrades part (I didn't pay much attention ahahha), but it added a really interesting layer to the game. The movements felt great and the music was on point. Nice job team!

Nice game! There's a couple of "run around a deliver things" entries for this jam, but I like yours especially because of the addition of the stamina pads. It makes you think about the map more.

crimoudin 2023-05-02 20:37

Yeah, only thing I would suggest is to add a arrow pointing towards the item pickup location when you have no items. Took me a minute to figure out how to start. Fun entry though.

foggydude 2023-05-02 20:52

I love the artstyle and the music. I did feel like 10 minutes may have been too much, but I still had plenty of fun, great job!

jordan-p20 2023-05-03 02:01

really dig the art style. Only thing I would add would be some way to help get back to the item dropper once you have delivered everything. Cuz most of the time I forgot what direction it was and just wondered until i found it again, albeit the map isnt that large so its not a huge deal

littleblackdog 2023-05-03 05:36

I had a lot of fun playing this game! I really liked the powerups and I liked to fling myself forward with the jump pads. The teleport pads were helpful too! I got 6500 gold by the end :) Art and audio were great- overall, wonderful little game!

jejkobb 2023-05-03 08:26

Super cool game! The upgrades were really nice. The art is really nice. I was also thinking a medieval mail thing wold be really cool! I think this was a good execution of that! A cool addition would maybe be if you could hire some NPC characters to work for you. So you could like grow a mail business. Maybe the town expands and stuff like that. Anyways, super cool game well done! 0d32aacb51ee0295ddf16dea612e4a6d.png

Really neat game. I like the mechanic of placing pads around like a tower defense, but for delivering. I can tell there are better strategies to learn and more depth if I go back!

And I really like the pixel art. Game has a great vibe.

pretty well-rounded game --- it took me like 3 minutes to understand the packages I was delivering were in the centre of the town, an arrow at the very start of the game to go there would help I think --- also the system with the yellow and red exclamation marks is a bit confusing --- I was pretty impressed by all the functione in-game like sprint, dash, throw --- are all those strictly necessary tho? --- I'm really blown away by the scope tho --- with the V function for the map in particular, mega-impressive --- great job keep it up :grinning: :sparkles:
