LD53 — Delivery

Very Fast Food by LeReveur 2023-05-02T03:59:26Z

Not really clear on the objective of the game and the lack of instructions doesn't help. I was able to find the below functionality:

* Aim the canon with arrows or wasd or a couple of other random keys * Launch a package with space or enter * While the package is in the air press space/enter to open a parachute * Package needs to collide with the top of a building and you will recieve points

Beyond that I was not able to reach any end state, I got over 1000 points but it did not trigger anything.

Trajectory Express by icxon 2023-05-02T04:53:54Z

Awesome game team! The graphics and music are great! Has such a nice pleasant feel to it, very calming. The ship controls are great as well. Really fun little game, and an awesome achievement in such a short timeframe.

Space Haulers by ColinBellino 2023-05-02T02:50:55Z

Great art and music, the game is highly polished!

The levels should scale, the first level felt way to long. Instead starting with a shorter first trip where you earn a bit less money to help understand the concept.

You could extend that by allowing the choice of cargo delivery location, with the further (and longer) the delivery route the more money the cargo is worth.

Bord by guin36 2023-05-02T03:43:45Z

endgame.png Had to post just to prove I got bord home safe.

I feel both accomplished and angry at all my mistakes and then having to chase down bord. Well done on the game!

Bord by guin36 2023-05-03T04:05:39Z

@guin36 No bords were harmed in the taking of that screenshot!

The Clockwork Express by dxk2294 2023-05-02T03:03:23Z

I spent the first round killing every drone in sight before realising I was meant to be delivering packages to some of them. Really well done on the ui/graphics/music.

FEED CRUNK by Claybro2021 2023-05-02T04:24:20Z

Great art style and animations! Makes the game feel really immersive.

Agree with others that having to go back through the same path becomes tedious, especially as you get further along into the game and each trip takes longer to complete.

Deadwood Delivery Dash by krzymsky 2023-05-02T00:30:54Z

This is awesome! Would be great to add some western style music in the background. The art style is super unique and fun.

Tattered Tunics by tetrapteryx 2023-05-02T02:00:57Z

Nice clean gameplay and animations! Enjoyed the commitment to the pun.

Stork Run by ditam 2023-05-02T02:07:07Z

Some of those houses definitely got more babies than they bargained for :rofl:

Great instructions, made it easy to play.

Cozy Crane Master by Dender46 2023-05-02T00:24:13Z

+1 on being able to pickup more at once, maybe at a certain score (or powerup) you could have a double grabber. Fun little game, great music!

Interstellar Hauler by WobbleBlocks 2023-05-02T02:24:54Z

I could have sworn someone asked for a delivery of 50 corpses

Constellation Courier by Diego Teran 2023-05-02T01:34:21Z

Loved the disco music!

The whole game is really calming an enjoyable to play. One thing I did notice was that the direction arrow can get dragged off the screen, so if you're close to a delivery location (but it's not yet on screen) you have no indication of which way to go.

A Bag by Zhiteng Chen 2023-05-03T13:23:10Z

I managed to play through the whole game twice now :rofl: , I'm getting really good at shaking the bag.

Dungeon Delivery by Kyle Spence 2023-05-02T04:13:40Z

Wasn't able to get scare to work, any time I tried I'd immediately get killed.

Could use an indicator to let you know which direction the lich is in.

Unsafe Delivery Co. by MorePixels 2023-05-02T00:27:19Z

Great fun getting to different levels to deliver the packages :)

Mailville by the neon shark 2023-05-02T01:10:22Z

Great game! Agree with everyone else, the shooting mechanic is really satisfying. Powersliding and shooting letters is a great combo.

Courier Pigeon by Valyn Tyler 2023-05-02T04:06:15Z

Looks like you've zipped the game build incorrectly and it can't find the index.html in the top level of the zip. To fix it you need to zip the content of your build folder rather than the build folder itself.

Let me know if you fix it as I'd love to play it.

Bullet Worm by resacaGames 2023-05-02T01:05:01Z

Fun little game, love the art style!

It might be worth adding a "current task" so you can see where/what you were meant to be delivering if you miss the initial message.

Rock Paper Scissors Inc. by Weston Goggins 2023-05-02T01:29:12Z

Great game, really thankful you put in that undo for when you double tap by mistake or just don't think through what you're doing.

The movement animation is a bit jarring, I agree with previous comments of instead lerping between the positions to make it smoother.

QuadTrain by Alfredo Cossetin Neto 2023-05-02T02:37:12Z

Loved the soundtrack! Ended up breaking the truck into pieces on almost every level. Would be easier if the first container behind the truck front always stayed connected rather than leaving the cab behind.

Dear friend by hmrpf 2023-05-01T23:53:23Z

Great art style!

Deep Sands Delivery by Rjdrag 2023-05-02T03:15:34Z

Awesome achievement in such a short amount of time!

Would be good to add a mechanism to allow you to catch back up to the ship if you decide to jump off in the middle of travel.

Also when your character is running around on the ground firing causes it to stand still which gives your ship even more time to leave you behind.

Another feature would be a destination arrow so you know where you are headed.

Storm Dove by RisingLeaf 2023-05-02T00:44:37Z

The first attempt took about 20 seconds before any objects appeared on the screen. I pressed escape and went back to game and then objects appeared.

Delivery Cannon by Stellarr2 2023-05-03T13:20:50Z

Nice game! I think there might be a bug when trying to deliver the dumbells, I always lost points when delivering them to their houses they matched.

PILE-UP! by Cyboi 2023-05-02T00:51:02Z

Nice little concept! At the end of the round all the trucks should drive away to deliver the packages.

Apocalyptic Pizza by hatheus 2023-05-02T01:36:44Z

@lady is it stuck during loading or not loading at all? I've tried a couple browsers and devices and didn't have any issue.

Apocalyptic Pizza by hatheus 2023-05-02T01:38:34Z

@velvetlobster they can pin you down quickly. It started out unintended that the zombies could pin your car down but I decided to keep it in as it allows them to fight back. They slowly attack your car and drain your health till it explodes.

If you're not driving fast enough the zombies can block your movements, but as soon as you're up to speed it's bye bye zombies.

Thanks for playing!

Apocalyptic Pizza by hatheus 2023-05-02T01:53:08Z

@velvetlobster definitely wanted to add in power ups as well as different types of vehicles but spent a disproportionate amount of time on getting procedurally generated cities to work nicely.

The upside is I can easily change the city size to generate ones like below (but good luck delivering packages :laughing:)

Apocalyptic Pizza by hatheus 2023-05-02T02:40:43Z

@rjdrag Thanks for playing!

Yeah you can get mobbed early and it can ruin the run. It used to spawn zombies on the same starting grid as the vehicle but that instantly ruined the run as you couldn't move so I stopped zombies from spawning on the same grid.

Might be worth extending it out so no zombies spawn in the adjacent grids as well to allow you to get up to speed first.

Apocalyptic Pizza by hatheus 2023-05-02T03:27:07Z

@tetrapteryx there's definitely some clipping issues that I came across on some of the models that ruin your momentum. Would also be worth adding in a menu to restart without having to wait for the car to blow up or refreshing the page.

I really enjoyed creating the map generator, and it's super rewarding to be able to do generate massive maps. Definitely something I can re-use for any grid based games.

Apocalyptic Pizza by hatheus 2023-05-02T04:04:09Z

@claybro2021 thanks for the feedback! Agreed on making the car a bit quicker to accelrate so you can get some momentum going. I could also add a bit more torque/power and allow for the car to push the zombies back rather than it getting pushed and trapped.

Apocalyptic Pizza by hatheus 2023-05-02T04:31:02Z

@adam-gallina @partysquadmember Thanks for playing!

Agreed on being able to quickly cycle starts if the zombies keep hoarding and pinning down the car.

Apocalyptic Pizza by hatheus 2023-05-02T10:34:50Z

@chompdev that's a great idea on having to get out to make deliveries possibly to higher levels, opens up a whole new set of environment interactions as well. Thanks for playing!

Apocalyptic Pizza by hatheus 2023-05-02T12:09:07Z

@pralista any specific time or just in general?

Apocalyptic Pizza by hatheus 2023-05-03T12:22:50Z

@yaroslav-kravtsov I've added in an apocalyptic_pizza.zip file for windows that you can download :)

Apocalyptic Pizza by hatheus 2023-05-03T12:23:39Z

I've also updated the zombie collision so they dont trap the car immediately

Apocalyptic Pizza by hatheus 2023-05-03T12:40:08Z

@quanta-studios thanks for playing! Good call on making it into a mobile game, could be really fun!

Apocalyptic Pizza by hatheus 2023-05-03T12:47:02Z

@yaroslav-kravtsov That's a good call out. I tried to make it so the building go transparent when they cover the car but maybe I could expand it out a bit more. Or even just removing the road cracks, or make it easier to get out of them.

Apocalyptic Pizza by hatheus 2023-05-03T23:12:47Z

@iluvatar you're right those numbers are swapped around! Would have been impressive to deliver 38 pizzas and only managed to kill just two zombies. Yeah there's a few clipping issues in the game, definitely something that can be fixed with more time.

Apocalyptic Pizza by hatheus 2023-05-03T23:13:52Z

@pndaa I have not seen the zombie carry the car before :rofl: maybe they can make the deliveries for you :pizza:

Yep a quick restart would make a big difference to the game.

Apocalyptic Pizza by hatheus 2023-05-03T23:14:23Z

@hermanlejter will definitely make sure to improve the clipping issues. Thanks for playing!

Apocalyptic Pizza by hatheus 2023-05-03T23:15:18Z

@zhiteng-chen got to try and out run the zombies so they don't seige you, but once they get you you're a gonner. COuld also maybe make it faster to die, cause one zombie trapping you is annoying and takes a long time to kill.

Apocalyptic Pizza by hatheus 2023-05-03T23:16:28Z

@juutis yeah the acceleration is pretty bad on the car, definitely need to take it back to the dealer and ask for an upgrade!

Would making the building even more transparent be better? Or increasing the radius of buildings that are made transparent?

Apocalyptic Pizza by hatheus 2023-05-03T23:18:36Z

@lereveur Hadn't come across the fullscreen issue, might be something with the export settings.

* Definitely agreed on a reset button, even I just end up refreshing as it's too long to wait and you often clip something or get caught by the zombies.

* Count are inverted, forgot to check that.

Making the map generator was really fun! It's a nice reusable piece of code that I can use for other grid based projects.

Thanks for playing!

Apocalyptic Pizza by hatheus 2023-05-04T04:07:02Z

@jacobingalls Do you think having the camera directly behind the car would be a better approach? Or even inside the car?

Apocalyptic Pizza by hatheus 2023-05-04T05:16:51Z

@jacobingalls kind of like this?

Screenshot 2023-05-04 151524.png

Apocalyptic Pizza by hatheus 2023-05-04T05:53:44Z

It definitely makes it a ton easier to avoid clipping the broken roads, or edges of buildings. Thanks for the great feedback!

Apocalyptic Pizza by hatheus 2023-05-06T05:03:47Z

@stellarr2 thanks for playing and thanks for the great feedback.

The game definitely does punish you for making small mistakes, I should make it that the cracks slow down but don't get the car stuck and ruin the game. As well as allowing for greater acceleration to help you get out of any game ending situations.
