That peeling mechanic is super satisfying! Also, very beautiful foil shaders.

Stealing the stamps feels amazing! Cool idea to give hints at the interesting letters for following days. Great happy music too. Congrats!

I liked navigating around the map without any arrows saying where to go. Collecting the stamps and following the stories is very satisfying. It's super impressive you could get this all in with so little time.

Very well done!

Nice relaxed gameplay, good think there is no stamp police. I like the cartoony graphics.

clement-de-la-bourdonnaye 2025-10-07 19:38

That was fun, love the ability to look at the letters and to steal the stamps! (sorry to all the people that got unpaid bills notice without comforting stamps)

emilija-marija 2025-10-07 19:43

It was so satisfying to follow the stories and then get the related stamps. And the atmosphere in general was calm and relaxing. I didn't manage to get the last festival stamp though, I probably missed something:(

love the game design, I just indulged in it... it's really cool that the player can choose to look at the letters, maybe can be more exciting if add the mechanism of being cautght while reading or stealing

the peeling feels SO good.

gerrit 2025-10-07 20:55

Got every stamp haha :D Nice game! Didnt want to take away the fun of collecting every cute image, so I blurred it! :D Unbenannt.png

I liked the game. I found just the baseline challenge of delivering the letters to be interesting already.

anderson-job-loeffler 2025-10-08 00:44

Super cool! I found the art style really charming, especially paired with the animations. I especially liked the stamp-stealing animation. The game had a great, chill vibe overall. I did get a bit confused navigating the map at times, but still really enjoyed it. Nice entry!

Great project! I really liked the art style and the postman’s animations. The game concept and sound design are solid too.

gamesplusjames 2025-10-08 00:51

This was great. The stamp ripping was very satisfying :D I loved the whole vibe of this game. Great work!

googlefrog 2025-10-08 05:04

Great chill game. The stakes don't need to be any higher than forgetting which town to go to, or accidentally peeling a duplicate stamp. I like how it is effectively a set of interlocking minigames that support each other really well.

Great game! There is so much hidden beneath the surface: many characters, a secret cult and a lot of bills and subscription payments. 😁

There is a lot of variety in terms of stories but the gameplay feels quite repetitive to me. Maybe, if the game had unlocks to make the gameplay more engaging, like more movement options or some character customization, it would be even more fun.

Amazing game! Controling the bike feels really smooth and ripping of the stamps is incredibly satisfying! Also there's a lot of content for a 3-day-jam, great work! We also made a game about stealing stamps from mailboxes, interesting to see how different they turned out!

azahara 2025-10-08 10:42

A fun game about stealing stamps as a postman! The art is super cute, and the peeling mechanic feels really smooth. I also loved biking around the streets. I had to write down the addresses so I wouldn't get lost xD. Great work!

celia14 2025-10-08 12:50

Really cute! The animation, music, and the cool stamps were so fun. For me, I didn't find navigating around the towns that fun (although I did love the silly street names!) but it was fun to open letters and see if I would discover something interesting. :D

cez4re 2025-10-08 15:19

Stealing the stamps idea is simply brilliant

kseon 2025-10-08 17:28

You put so much effort into it, it turned out really cool)

kantona 2025-10-08 19:43

Really relaxing game and great feeling when you peeled of the stamps! I got really confused sometimes where i was on the map but that might be on my navigation skills :D

blue-pin-studio 2025-10-09 05:44

A lot of effort! I found it really hard to navigate the city tho :((

twistways 2025-10-09 07:09

nice game! pretty art, chill sound and the peeling is so good

titos2k 2025-10-09 10:38

i would kill a postman for a "You are here" marker on the map

schu 2025-10-09 12:10

Really neat! I found navigating a bit challenging since the direction changes when you move to a different street. I'd love if there wasn't a transition and it was a bit more fluid. But I think the theme works really well and it was pleasant biking around and stealing stamps

flying-butter-studio 2025-10-09 19:36

I stole every stamp and read all letters!! Hahaha! I'm so bad at this job... Very nice entry, my first idea was to make this kind of game but you made it better than I could. Congrats for this job! My favorite game so far for now :heart: Keep going making games like this :heart:

ruruie 2025-10-10 22:25

I'll have you know I'm a responsible postal worker and would never stoop so low as to read the private correspondence of fellow community members and was well on my way to completing my collection when I guess the cultists caught onto me and trapped me in a void whilst I was detouring through Sasageyo!

Sorry I'm late to playing your project, today was the first day I could get back on the computer, but I'm here now so let's go!

First off I have to agree with @schu, navigation wasn't the end of the world and graphically I understand why (I think) you chose this route but that orientation changes made it feel a bit discontinuous. Now, that out of the way, what a great idea! I love this silly little world and the narrative elements. I'm drawn to getting all the stamps and exploring every inch. There's just a ton of work in here and it shows. Any plans to keep working on it after the jam is over? Either way amazing work. One of my favorites!

johnstarich 2025-10-11 01:59

Fun story! Ah, the life of an unethical postman.

I found delivering mail to the wrong city didn't have a great hint to bust out of that cycle. Maybe being able to review the mail stacks for undiscovered postage before delivery would've helped me, not too sure. :smile:

kupnu4 2025-10-11 12:06

what a lovely game! couldn't make stealing look more innocent myself :D The artstyle the atmosphere - it's just joyful to play. Very relaxing game, thank you!

dasmaichen 2025-10-12 10:54

Very satisfying to peel-off the stamps (especially the shiny ones) :D

jvdwijk 2025-10-12 15:42

Wow, what a cute game! The peeling effect is really well made! I missed two stamps, but got everything else. It might be nice to be able to reread letters after you've posted them, but that wouldn't make that much sense (maybe let the player note things down in a little notebook?) Great entry!

youpz 2025-10-13 12:14

So satisfying game mechanics, I really loved it!! Cute style and atmosphere!

dining-philosopher 2025-10-13 21:45

I started off afraid that I would need to remember all the addresses and was quite relieved to see it wasn't *that* hard :D The animations are really nice, what techniques did you use? Anything Unity-specific/built-in? I use Godot myself but would not know how to do for example the cycling or stamp animation in such a nice way.

birofio 2025-10-14 08:23

cool game, it matches the theme and its just fun to play!i couldn't stop playing!

trezark 2025-10-14 19:00

The artstyle is really cute and I love the concept ! congrats :smile:

eliasou 2025-10-15 14:38

Nice and very funny game!

tsaot 2025-10-18 21:23

Great funny game. I loved the silly nature of it.

floryan 2025-10-18 21:42

amazing vibes. Cool. music and funny street names. Cozy short game, perfect gamejam creation!

bluedandelion 2025-10-19 14:05

Nice and relaxing game, the art style and the song go very well together and the street names are very humorous too. Great entry!

larazofia 2025-10-22 15:53

I think this is my favourite jam game so far lol, love the concept and got genuinely excited each time I got a shiny sticker :D

zactyl 2025-10-24 02:03

Thanks for uploading! This was super cute and fun, navigating each of the different towns was an interesting process, and some of the names definitely got a chuckle out of me! I kinda wish there was a way to always check which stamps you already have just so I can double check that I don't already have one I'm itching to pinch. Speaking of which, the peeling was very satisfying to go through! Really helped the collective feel.
