Hi! Sorry about the broken link - it's fixed now if you'd like to try again. @nicknickolas @doomky

The idea is interesting, the art is cool and it feels like when you're like a pre-teen and you just want to test waters and see what you can do, like sending messages to people and testing reactions. Shame it does feel a bit truncated, would love to see endings here with consequences. But cool game.

The art style is amazing, I love the animations and the sfx. So many awesome little details! Unfortunately I wasn't able to get past sending a letter lol. Every time I tried if got an invalid address response.

I was typing #622 depth 2. I also ran into a bug one of the times where when trying to open the letter that came in I got the prompt to select my message again and I got soft locked and couldn't interact with anything again.

I'd love to see a full game from you guys. love the art 🙂

@ryrumeli ye!! we had som' drafted plans for finishing some addresses but ran out of time ;( @braeden ohh i didn't accnt for using # before th number, so those addresses would all fail to connect unfortune. the only currently accepted formats being '622 depth 2', '622depth2', or '622d2'

The concept is really good! The game keep crashing when I send the first letter though :/

The art style and mood were top notch, it would seem to me a lot of effort was put into that! The premise of the game also seemed really cool and I hope that you all can continue this idea in the future! Great entry :)

Incredibly cute art! I think actually sending letters became a bit tedious after a point, at least writing an address in each time, so perhaps there's a UI solution to that, but I had a lot of fun otherwise

I love the visuals. This is an ambitious game to make over a weekend, which is probably why there are some bugs and unfinished content. Not knowing what should and shouldn't work meant that I couldn't be as immersed in the game as I would have liked, but you do have the start of something really good here. Thanks for sharing.

Nice visuals, but game crashed after the first letter :(

anton-florey 2025-04-21 20:50 ♥ 2

This is a very original idea, i love it! And the art and music too :3 The only thing this game needs is more time for more content :)

jern 2025-04-22 01:45 ♥ 1

Aw, thanks @anton-florey! We are planning on expanding it (and adding in the pizza) 🙂

Great art! was difficult to figure out what to do though.

Interesting game! Very cleverly combined with the theme!
