Hi! Your game is beautiful, the art is nice, the lighting is nice (and there's a cat, you got me there...). The only two things I wish would be different would be to be more tolerant when going off road (maybe slow down on the curb and stop on grass?) and to display the direction in game space (not in the minimap). I get that it's part of what makes it challenging but I ended up looking more at the minimap than the actual game, which I found sad because it's really pretty to look at (and because I kept crashing). Great work overall, congratulations!

Cool game ! It's beautiful, did you make the art yourselves ? If so, impressive I love it, else you should consider opt out of the Graphisms category ! ^^ The gameplay is simple but good, the only frustrating thing is getting stopped when touching any road border.

It's fun! Having to turn the wheel and accelerate/reverse like a real car is kind of confusing from a top down view, but that was actually interesting, too. I wonder if leaning more into those tricky controls with more windy / obstacle-filled paths that force you to get better at them could be fun.

I think your game has had the best turning of the "drive a vehicle from A to B" games I've seen in the dare so far. That said i think it could be a little better when your going really fast.

I think if you added all the packages to the map as well as their locations and have us work out the fastest way to deliver all of them it would be more interesting and fun (not to say its not interesting or fun).

The graphics, sound, and music are some of the best I've seen in the jam! The controls were fun but felt a little clumsy on the keyboard at times (especially when hitting the curb and needing to adjust course. However, overall, this has been one of my favorite games. It's so much fun to just speed down the road and enjoy the graphics whizzing by.

Nice, you got me because your are a cat

pazzi 2023-05-03 01:46

I would not survive in the cat delivery business haha! This was really challenging and I lost in the third stage, but I love the vibe! Music is very relaxing and the visuals were very adorable xD

@tom-oak @m0zrat @revetoon @wolfier @professor @jpbaraky @pazzi Thank you for playing the game, I hope you had fun time playing =) @revetoon Almost all graphics was made by @sarry (with little exceptions)

Simple but cute! Could be better if the controls were more tuned. For example, reduce the steering speed and enable driving along the curbs.

aloya 2023-05-03 16:09

I really like this design but this f*cking cat is so fast and it hard to control(((

spicymarcus 2023-05-03 16:13

It was a little too easy to get stuck on the curb, but overall this is a very cute and fun game. I love the graphics and music!

francoisgoret 2023-05-03 16:21

A really cute game with perfect lighting ! Even if the rotation is hard to manage at the beginning it was fun to learn and improve to control the car. The only issue I have is I got a game over because of a bug I think. When I start a level with 9 packages to deliver during the three first seconds I lost 2 lives because there are some packages who instantly failed.

bassilij 2023-05-03 17:09

Very cute game! Very juicy graphics!)

fidrik 2023-05-03 20:48

cool game, wish the acceleration was faster and the roads were wider though

kotkas 2023-05-03 20:58

The visuals are truly great and it's really quite interesting to try and maneuver when the point of view remains unchanged. Sweet game!

juliette-desmaisons 2023-05-04 14:43

The visuals are truly shining there! Great job! It's lagging a bit on my computer sadly, but I liked it a lot!

The main character is so adorable! Dig the art style and music.

The delivery bike controls felt a bit too sensitive and fast, I think making it slower and dummy would act nice with the art of the game and add a bit more challenge.

I am also not a big fan of the road collision, I always bumped into invisible walls :)

zeit 2023-05-04 16:59

The cat is so cute!

slumbgod 2023-05-05 09:43

Nice music and atmosphere! It was kinda hard to stay on the road (narrow roads, fast acceleration), but definietly enjoyed the game!

fabula-rasa 2023-05-05 10:56

Perfect (or should I say - purrfect :smile_cat:) music and nice, clean 3d models. Add to that pleasant earthy color palette and you get a very well-crafted atmosphere.

It took just a bit of time to get used to controls. Felt to me like left-right is too sensitive and, combined with unforgiving curbs and narrow streets, I got stuck on the side of the road many times. But after I got used to the sensitive turning, it was fun to navigate and try to beat the clock.

Once or twice I encountered something that might be considered a timer bug. I got a new package with such a short pick-up time and so far away that even with the fastest and most perfect driving, it would be impossible to make it in time before it spoiled.

Overall, great jam entry and a definite + for the kitty :smiley_cat:

michael-harris 2023-05-05 14:43

Hey another Unreal game! This was a nice and chill experience. If I had to give some feedback, maybe showing a timer for the current package in UI would be a good change for better user experience. Also any slight touch of the wall completely stops all your momentum which sometimes feels a little weird. It's a game jam though so I understand why quick and easy just stopping them is fine. Overall though I had fun, good job!

geck0 2023-05-05 17:35

So nice art. The game is addictive and not very difficult.

I only stopped playing because of a bug (I guess), because I started a new level (9 deliveries) and instantly all the delivery timers went off (game over) :O. I think there is another bug when it's too late to deliver a package, the time goes negative and I can deliver it anyway.

And as some people said before, I think the controls are too sensitive and the road edges break up the experience a bit.

I really enjoyed it, good job guys!

I like to play Unreal Engine games, it's my engine too :)

kingzero 2023-05-06 15:53

Good game. It would be nice if there would be a bit more variety in the road structure not just a equally divided grid.

ciderpunk 2023-05-06 16:34

looks stunning! and plays well too! my only complaint is the speed you're going doesn't seem to affect your turning circle much if at all, it makes turning in the road a bit of a pain.

od-wreckz 2023-05-07 16:57

Great artwork and the gameplay was unique to anything else I've played so far.

bobbie 2023-05-08 18:21

Super cute game with polished-feeling mechanics! The one thing I would say is that the "package timer" continuing to tick down before picking up a package is a bit stressful, especially because you can't see it, so you're not sure how much time you'll have to make a delivery

ominusgalaxy44 2023-05-08 18:48

amazing game but road is a bit repetitive

hengen 2023-05-15 16:15

Comfy as hell dude! comfy.jpg

Really good graphics, music was fitting, the game is JUICY! It was also really cool to see someone create a game with pretty much the same concept as me but with such a different take and feel! Great minds think alike!

anyways, great job!

nekuake 2023-05-19 08:31

Pretty chill and comfy game! I really loved the controls, they are so easy to get used to I started speeding up through all the deliveries.Aesthetically, it's so cute and polished for a Jam game and a 3D one even.

Good work team!!! πŸ˜ΊπŸ‘
