It's been a while since I've seen a jam game with such polished graphics and mood. It's truly inspiring to see such high-quality work and it motivates me to become a better game developer. Congratulations to the team for a job well done!
I love the graphics and the gameplay. Very well made considering the time restrictions.
This is a really well-executed game. It took me a moment to figure out that the routes had to by cyclical, but other than that it was a really smooth and fun gameplay experience.
The game looks great and I like the idea. Only problem was that the arrows overlap with each other and make it hard to tell where they are all going
Once I figured out the gameplay it became really addictive. The levels of polish and art are amazing!
The graphics are incredibly well done, very clean and polished. Great job!
Incredible work! Graphics are delightful, mechanics appeal a great deal to the graph / network theorist in me :smile: Really polished and nicely executed to boot.
Really consistent visuals and art style!
A lovely chill game with great graphics and mood. It probably could explain some stuff upfront - I didn't initially realise routes had to circle back to the post office and that you could have multiple routes active at once. Solid entry though with high levels of polish.
Wow - the polish here is breathtaking. I am having a hard time finding words - truly award winning entry here.
I played several times, just to sink into the beautiful, soft aesthetic you have so perfectly crafted here.
So many wonderful touches - each asset was so lovingly rendered with a consistent, tactile feel - everything from the score icons to the background envelopes just exhales a sense of comfort.
Puts me right back to the release of New Horizons.
Also, you managed to take the classic graph-solving mindset and turn it into a relaxing and fully-engaging game loop - a total act of game design wizardy to make something so familiar and 'banal' into such a charming experience.
I will definitly be showing this game to friends, and only wish I could poke about the source code myself. I can already tell I will be inspired by this game in the future, and count myself lucky to have played it!
It's a wonderfully polished game, it gives me the vibe w MiniMetro. So clean, so responsive, so chill - great job team.
Wow It is very nice game. I love graphic style it so cute and well polished. Color fit perfectly to it. Gameplay was relaxing. I like this idea. The animation of hero and envelope look great. Nice job. It reminds me of my game which I made for other game jam [https://mrdartmoor.itch.io/health-manager](https://mrdartmoor.itch.io/health-manager) You can check it if you want :)
suuuper cute idea with the low depth of field right there, very satisfying to get those lines working as well. The balance was neat too which is hard to do in only two days for that kind of game. Not too slow, not too hard or easy. Good job
I can only manage 'meh' scores but it's still very fun to play! The action of constantly making paths is quite mesmerising and the tiny world setting is really cosy. Great job with this!
I really like the graphics! So simple and nice! Also, mechanics are great!!!
It seemed too hard for me to complete all tasks simultaneously but I guess that's skill issue :smile:
This is all in all just a very good experience. Loved the soundtrack, loved the graphics, everything was very well polished, the concept at first reminded me a bit of the traveling salesman problem, but then it tourned out to be a bit different still extremely fun concept that perfectly fits the theme. Loved everything about it ^^
I have to say, i love the clean aesthetics! I have jet to fully understand the gameplay, but i'll give it a few more tries :)
What a cute atmosphere! The amount of care put into this game in such a short time is impressive. I really like the artistic direction, and it would make a great couch game that I would love to have on my smartphone to chill. Congratulations on your submission!
a really solid entry that follows the theme well and has great execution. impressive!
10/10 graphics and mood, such a high bar nowadays ๐ญ
Beautiful polished game!! I love the art style, so neat. Animations, everything just looks amazing. I had a blast playing, congrats!!!! ๐๐๐๐
This game is soo cool, I love it. Looks so polished and plays great. Good job.
Very engaging game! It took me a whole lap to figure out that you have 3 postmen, but once I did it hooked me for quite a lot of time. The gameplay is amazing. Art is very pretty and the overall experience feels very polished.
One thing is when you get to the later stages and build more houses it becomes confusing to understand what arrow points to which house, especially under the time pressure. But I have no idea how it could be fixed.
Other than that, it is a great entry!
Very immersive game. Also the little stickers are adorable!
Lovely aesthetics, cool idea, awesome idea! Congrats for your entry
What an incredibly polished game! From the little letter opening animation, to the wonderful artstyle and aesthetic, to the satisfying plops of delivering packages and expanding the neighborhood. I loved this submission! Definitely one of my favorites. I don't even have any nitpicks, great job!
The art in this game is SOOOOOOOOOO freaking cute!!!!! Goodness, watching the delivery people bob around picking stuff up and come back is so lovely ๐งก Plus it all looks like papercraft on a piece of paper, that's brilliant! This is definitely one of my favorite LD53 games so far :Dโ Plus it was a lot of fun once I figured out what I was doing lol
Postal Town caught my attention with the board game look to it, like building roads or something. Once I started playing it, I realized it was so incredibly well done and was a fun, bite-sized scorefest. Trying to figure out the best path back so you can use the Postie again and not have them make an overly long journey was challenging, one that I found myself waiting for Posties to return so I could send them out again. The art style was amazingly cute and super clean, very well done all around!
