This was a neat little game. Pretty simple gameplay concept, but it works pretty well. At first it was a bit confusing to figure out which letter went to what box, but as I played more it became clearer. The one thing I was very confused about though was what I was supposed to do to beat the game. Was there a certain amount of letters? At one point the score at the top was over 60 and nothing was happening.
Anyways, pretty cute game. Decently fun for a little bit.
This was so cute and relaxing! <3
the art style is cute and the mood of the game is smooth and interesting~ go ahead!
This was so fun! The moment I saw Darby I knew I was going to have a good time. Really pleasant game feel - grabbing letters in quick succession sometimes resulted in an awkward hold, or they wouldn't land well in the mailbox you were aiming for, but overall a pretty smooth experience!
Amazing art and mood; great work! I enjoyed the mechanic of sorting the mail. Sometimes I wasn't sure what to do if the mailboxes weren't available for the letters, so I began just sort of clicking the letters away which didn't seem to hurt my score.
Really chill game, and great art. Nice job!
The artwork in this game is great! I was confused on what I was supposed to be doing, but I did eventually figure it out ^^;
Works well great vibe, very chill game it's cool
Cute game, gorgeous artworks and fun mood ♥ Congrats !
Cool relaxing game, great job! Hitboxes of mailboxes are not obvious, i don't put letter in a box sometimes.
The art is excellent! The UI is a little bit off on a 2K monitor. Sometimes it is kind of confusing, since there are many weird mailboxes for me to distinguish. And sometimes not confident if I delivered the correct mail or not. Good work in general!
A very chill game with a cute art style. Nice!
Great graphics
Great artwork, amazing relaxing game
The cover art is amazing and really delightful! It really draws you in and entices you to come and play! The art in game is excellent too and the game-loop is easy to understand and satisfying! Well done here!
First of all I must say that I really like the design and artwork in this game! I wish there was a way to re-organize the letters by dragging them to the side (without putting them all the way in the back of the stack) and to be able to select letters in the background. I feel like that would make the player experience smoother. That being said though, I really like the messages that pop up and you've done a very good job here!
such a cute game! loved the rythm and the levle design. very interesting how it kept progressing and becoming more difficult as well as the idea of letting the player figure out which mailbox is the correct for each letter. awesome stuff!
Awesome game. I loved the art and fun sense of humour. Figuring out which envelope goes where was a lot of fun
liked it!!! super chill and relaxing game :)
Cute game, and nice design. Didn't really get spams I think (2 ads very obvious but that's all before beating the game) Maybe I was too oblivious and it was forgiving enough ! Anyway great entry for this jam, great work
Cute game, nice and chill. This might just be me, but I wish I was able to move the letters around instead of waiting for the right mailbox to appear - but perhaps that would have defeated the point.
The graphic style is pretty nice, and the music fits as well. I feel it would have been cool to have a choice on which letter to pick up next. I also saw two types of mail boxes where I didn't see any letters that might've fit (the silver one and the worn out one). Still pretty cool, keep it up!
Pleasant vibe and game was well made. Wasn't sure how well I was doing some some kind of score could have helped maybe but overall good game
Fun little game! I have to admit I had way more fun with it than I expected from such a simple concept. Graphics are nice and coherent, and work well with the audio, creating a very cozy atmosphere. Like some people above I struggled a bit with determining which letter goes where. Also I think it'd be great if there was a visual indication of which mailbox I'm currently hovering over, it's sometimes hard to tell when they're overlapping. Anyway, very nice game and a job well done :cat:
The art style and overall presentation combined with the music made this a really pleasant play! The chat bubbles with dialogue that sometimes pop up was a cute addition too.
Very cute! It took a second for it to click what the system actually was asking, but it was pretty satisfying sorting them out! Didn't realize until my partner pointed out that there weren't just coloured letters, and that there were mailboxes to suit them!
A good meditative game
I enjoyed this cute experience! Props to you for making this fun game! :D
cute lobster but gets repetitive
i can imagine playing this on my smartphone in the evening as entertainment. very good, graphics sensational.
Nice job, that's a cool game, I also love the art so much.
Fun and cute game! Very easy and satisfying to sort the and send the mail once you get in a groove.
This game is very interesting, thanks for making it
Cute and enjoyable, if a bit thin. I couldn't figure out how to tell the fake Jury Duty letters from the real ones, though, and while it was easy enough to figure out where the letters with the gold lobster stamp went, I'll admit I was stymied by the other special mailboxes.
The fact that there's no end goal to shoot for, or even a loss condition, is kind of a bummer - it's chill, to be sure, but the fact that there's no winning and no losing leaves things feeling kind of pointless. I also don't like the double-RNG at play - the mailboxes *and* mail both being random, with no way to select any letter than the one at the top of the stack, means I'm often stuck hanging around waiting for the right mailbox to show up before I can deliver anything. (All the more annoying if the next letter in the pile goes to a mailbox I just had to let slip offscreen!)
While a bit simple mechanically, it's cute! the art is awesome. It was interesting figuring out what the right matches to the more unusual letters were, but it would've been nice if the gameplay had a bit more depth. Good work!
It took me a minute to understand which letters should be delivered where, and it became pretty fun to just sort through all that mail.
The art is amazing, you should be proud of that.
Gameplay-wise, it's simple and relaxing in a good way, like some of those flash games back in the days. If I had to give advice on how to improve it, I'd say either add some challenge or more mechanics to the game, or just crank up the juice with cool visual/sound effects to make delivering mail extra satisfying.
All in all this is a good entry, good job!
Really liked the overall tone and art style, would have loved to see more of Darby!
Game is stunningly adorable for a jam product ! Gameplay is super simple and relaxing, though it was confusing to first to understand which letters I was able to select and dispatch. So many desperate clicks on letters that I couldn't grab in the pile !
I really like it!! It is very cute.
