the pixel art is so cute, the puzzles are all really good and i'm impressed by how many of them there are. level 13 felt a little bit too hard, but other than that the game is really good

pretty fun and funny, having to wait until the van fell all the way down to shoot again was pretty frustrating, and aiming at some of the further away houses was pretty hard due to the camera perspective. The music and sound design are really good too
i thought the packing and driving mechanics would be too disconnected at first, but when i realised i had to take out the packages with those same packing mechanics i realised it was actually a really clever mechanic that forced me to both think about how i was packing those packages as well as the order i delivered them in. i really like what i played but i couldn't play a lot of it because i'm playing on a laptop and playing this with a trackpad was very uncomfortable, but i imagine it must be really fun with a mouse
really cool game, especially the music. playing on a laptop is kinda annoying since i need to use the trackpad to aim and shoot, and the camera moving so much when you move the mouse is a little bit disorienting, but i imagine these wouldn't be big problems if playing on a desktop. the art is really cool too, good game!
the itch web version does not appear to be working? i'm getting this error (on firefox) ``` Error The following features required to run Godot projects on the Web are missing: Cross Origin Isolation - Check web server configuration (send correct headers) SharedArrayBuffer - Check web server configuration (send correct headers) ```
the game idea is pretty cool, but the intro takes a lot of time to go through, which is a bit annoying, and it feels too hard to gauge how much time it takes for the crates to fall down to the trucks, and the music gets a bit repetitive with time too. the art is really good tho, and the game does feel pretty satisfying, cool game!
pretty creative use of the theme. i think the green particles whenever you got the key right were a bit too distracting but other than that the game looks and plays pretty good.
@rhewid thanks for playing, i noticed that the sign as the level ending sprite didn't make much sense right during my final round of playtesting, but by then there wasn't enough time to actually change anything so i just left it as is. i also wanted to have a count of how many tips you got during the title screen but forgot to add that in lol
@kent-lizardo thanks for playing, i thought the background colour looked fine while playing on my laptop but when i tried it on my desktop i noticed that the colours were in general way stronger there, so i'm guessing my laptop's screen has some issues. i'll be sure to test out how my colours look on my desktop in future games lol.
@kgurniak91 thanks for playing, the game runs fine on the ldjam page for me, it might be browser differences? i'm on firefox, i also read that the ld embed can be janky?
@vectrex28 thanks for playing, i had noticed the bug where you get stuck on the corner of the block during playtesting but by the time i noticed there was only 1 hour left on the compo and i still had plenty of stuff to do and decided that debugging the collision detection would probably hurt the game more than just leaving that there. i also had made and added music to the game, but for some reason it did not play when compiling to web
@100th-coin thanks for playing, my guess as to what's happening when going off-screen is that when the player's coordinates are negative in any axis it is trying to read a negative index in the array, leading to it reading incorrect data and that sometimes the incorrect data it reads matches with the tile id of the level ending, i really should have caught that during development lol. the video feedback is really appreciated!
really cool throwback to old beat-em-ups. i feel like attacking was a bit too slow and the difficulty went up a bit too fast in my opinion, so just ignoring all of the enemies was way easier than actually trying to fight them. another problem to me was that restarting took too long, and that going through the menus requires moving the mouse over and clicking, when the rest of the game doesn't make any use of the mouse. the variety of enemies is really cool, and the pixel art looks really. really cool game overall
the control system is pretty unique and interesting, it took me two deaths to understand how they work. i think the delivery timers are a bit too short, and it is very easy to crash, so the game feels pretty hard and unforgiving. the art and sound are pretty good too, great game
really cool little puzzle, the controls were a bit unintuitive for me but i got used to them. i can see the mechanic of trading jumps for objects that you need to carry being expanded in a bunch of really cool ways, it's a really neat puzzle mechanic.
