I coudn't find all the soul shards and it was difficult to move in front of the houses because of the colliders. Maybe the map is too big or not clear enough, you should use some elements to show where to go, like paved ways for example.
Le jeu est plutôt bon dans l'ensemble : les graphs sont sympas et la musique aussi. Le gameplay est un peu répétitif, vous devriez peut-être ajouter des mission plus tard si vous retravaillez sur le jeu. Parfois j'ai également un bug: je ne peux pas activer un objet en appuyant sur E, ou alors il faut que je le fasse plusieurs fois avant que ça ne fonctionne.
Nice game, it's really cool you embeded it on your itch page ! Even if you do the same thing over and over, you're not bored because the truck configuration changes, nice work !
At first I was like "Oh that's a cute little game !", and then you rip my heart out... Please do it again
It's really nice and could really fit on mobile device ! However I had a hard time figuring out where the target was and my own angle and strength
Good job anyway !
Really love the sound design and the little advertisment at the end, it reminds me of the choice film in stanley parable !
I had a hard time when the ennemies started to spawn : it's difficult to think of a direction and avoid ennemies at the same time. It's like trying to solve a puzzle while people keep comming and try to punch you and the puzzle box. Also, the road placement had some bugs, sometimes I spammed the space bar, but it did nothing. The fact that control where the wagon will go when they are several path is quite frustrating too.
For now it's too hard for me, and I'm not sure if I saw all the features. it's too bad because I think the idea is intresting.
This reminds me of some missions in AOE, it's really cool you did this much in such a short time ! The menu could be a little more polished, and the game could be balanced a little more, however I thought it was really nice !
Wow ! It's really complete with a lot of features and intresting mecanism, great job !
I understood it was a turn per turn fight but I didn't know if my actions were doing something or not, I tried a little more but it didn't seem to have an end
@polinachrr Thanks for your review ! You can move by using the arrow keys on your keyboard :)

Also, you can use x to go on walk mode or fly mode, and c to validate/deliver a package !
Hi @emily-ttg, thanks for the review ! I used two markers because I figured out it was difficulte to locate the house to deliver when it was on the other side of the map, I didn't think it could something that block the view, I will look for that ! Also, I'm pretty new to pico 8 (I started like 2 month ago ?), you have a limited color palette and you have to trick a little to make shadows for example. However that's an addition I want to make, I might add it later to make the character stand out a little more !
Hi @ellaris, thanks for your review ! I hesitate to make the player start on the ground rather than walking, however I figured people didn't know they could fly if they didn't start this way. I think the best would be to have the controls explained in game before you start actually playing, that's something I'm looking to add ! Also I think I should make the start zone open so the player is not block if he has no mana.
You quite describe the whole experience : a loop where your goal is to go to some house and deliver the package ! However you don't have to dismount to deliver a package, if you press "c" close enough it will be deliver, I should make this clearer :)
The heart represent people's appreciation, when you don't deliver a package, or lost it because you fell in the sea or in the woods, you lose appreciation. However it's acting like a life bar since when it's under 0 you lose the game.
I can't picture the grid problem you described, if you could provide a picture/gif of this issue I would really appreciate it !
@ellaris Thanks for those precisions ! I think I should make the camera travel to the starting point rather than just teleport it where the player is in that case, I'll try to make this for next update !
Delivery is made to adjacent tiles, but not to diagonals tiles, I will add them to increase the delivery zone a little
Conveyor belt games are one of my favourite type of games, I can spend hours on them without noticing. However, what keeps me from doing so with your game is the sound design, I find the voices quite annoying, and the fact that it is almost the only sound in the game is too bad.
I had a hard time figuring out how to play, and what were the cities (at first I thought it was where you could put your factories). When I undertood all of this, I had fun at first, but the voices were too loud and annoying, I wish I could disable them. You put prices in the upgrades and cities, which is nice, but it's too bad you didn't do the same for the extracting factories and assembling factories.
I didn't know what the warehouse were for at first, and I spend quite a lot of money before noticing it was only for your own properties, not somewhere you could put all the thing you extrated to send them later. Also, your resources were difficulte to tell appart, especialy between iron and coal, be careful about that and use different shapes as much as possible to help people (espacially color blind people) to recognise resources. At first I was frustrated that assemblies had on way out that couldn't be moved, but later I thought it was actually an interting challenging feature.
However, I may be a little harsh in my feedbacks, but I think you did quite a good job for 48h by your own, and with a few updates I may play your game a little longer !
Really juicy and fun ! I find it a little hard, I think it would be better with more possibilities to move. However, you did a great job !
The art is cute and the concept is nice ! However I found some bugs, sometimes the grid don't fall, and the grass at the bottom right hides the command. It's already really nice, but it would be great with those bugs fixed !
I think the cart is a little slow, it felt like I was pushing something really heavy
It was too bad I couldn't pick up the little cube once they fell, however it's a nice little mecanism made in 48 hours !
The link doesn't work for me neither
Really relaxing and cute, I spend a good time playing your game ! I like the art, the sound, the charadesign... I wish it was longer with little day-to-day life scenes, also I think some sounds according to the people you were reading the mind of could have been really nice !
You did a great job in three days, congrats <3
I won :) Capture d’écran 2023-05-01 182252.jpg
The robots are cute and it was fun to play, I really wish it was longer !
(thanks for the zqsd and an actual escape button !)
I couldn't manage to deliver a thing because the jump was really low, however it looks nice and the graphics are pretty cool !
I had a hard time trying to move, I think for this kind of gameplay a mouse button with highlited tiles works better
It looks like you had a fun time thinking about the bacstory and your chara design, it's pretty cool !
Really fun to play, however it demands too much skills for me, I'm stuck right before the end because of the timer.
Your music loop has a "click" in the menu, it's the only thing that really bothers me.
You did a great job overall !
Your embeded link does not work Capture d’écran 2023-05-01 191928.jpg
(and it seems like itch.io can't show the embeded game too)
The windows build work fine, it's really fun and easy to learn, but you quickly get stressed and mess up a key I think I found a bug : at 112 points the game stopped to register my inputs However it's really funny and I could spend hours on it as it is !
Can't acces the page either
I had a hard time with the camera, it made me fail most of my jumps It also lack some feedbacks and I don't really feel like a nija, I think more bouncy jumps and wall jumps could have help with that (I think you attended someting like that since some walls have a path ?)
Beautiful art and audio ! I think the tweeting sound was a little too present and repetitive, and the game is very challenging, however you learn fast what to do and I had a lot of fun, even if I wasn't able to finish it (yet). Good job !
Really sweet ! I found that the blocked pipe was a little difficulte to undertand, there should be some hints that only the grandma can deliver to this person (I'm not giving a name to avoid spoiler). With more juice, maybe little scenes with the characters in the building, and more missions, it would be a really fun game that I would buy ! Nice concept, good job !
I love the art, it's really funny ! I can't get hit by cars, they just push me off screen, and I didn't know the controls to deliver the package at the end (I figured out by click random keys, but I can't remember which one it was), it would be nice to at least wrote the keys on this page !
The sound design really made me laugh "wiiiii" XD It's really short, but it's not too bad, it really reminds me of DS's mario 64 bob-bombe mini game ! Is there a victory screen ? I didn't manage to have one
