Great game! Feels like something that would have been right at home on Game Boy Advance. Art style is great, only complaint is it wasn't super obvious whether tightly packing a truck vs sending off more packages was the better strategy.
Fun game! Very polished, I like the faux-3d visuals and radial gameplay. I did feel the difficulty could have ramped a lot faster, it felt like I could go on for a while.
Nicely polished! I did end up getting my parcel stuck in the wall in the cloud section. The "flipping" controls take a bit of getting used to but seems like a fun mechanic.
Great art style and fun simple gameplay concept. The "tutorial" overlays get a bit annoying after a while.
The robots fired me, fun little time waster :) Though I feel Dogs got the short end of the stick with no upgrade path.
I like the gameplay setup, only thing I would add is either a more defined background, or a directional arrow back to base to better know where you are on the map. Also I'd probably drop the turning radius a little lower when using arrow keys, though I think this would be fine with an analog stick.
Nice game, agree with some others that I wasn't super sure what was a "wall" vs just background. Reminds me a bit of Subspace/Continuum from back in the day.
Great graphics and animations. Tutorial introduction to new skills is also very well done.
Wow, 5 stars all around. Presentation was great, story was great, music was fitting, art style was very nice, level design was great. Could be an awesome mobile game with some more mechanics and a lot more levels thrown in.
Reminds me of the old flash games I used to play in high school.
It seems your itch.io link is not working (Or maybe just not public?)
Fun little game - though I feel the timing is a bit off, I spent a while waiting for the delivery truck when I ran out of ingredients (Though I spent the entire time unloading the truck into storage beforehand) Also the level feels a bit large, the walk from the truck to storage takes a good while in game time.
Fun game! I like the exploding mechanic - I didn't quite get it at first as to why my towers were disappearing but then it clicked on the second playthrough. Makes the tower defense a bit more dynamic.
@teadrinker Thanks! And yeah I did consider having a full reset, but some of the levels are a bit too tedious, I'd rather have people explore the game more.
@kykypy3o8 I'm considering it - I have a lot of ideas for level designs and more gameplay elements.
@remus Yeah - I didn't want to get to fussy on the physics at the expense of submitting something, but there is a lot of tweaking needed on the crane setup.
@lee-martin-77 Thanks, I'll check it out!
@tasakasama Yeah, in the original plan I was going to add more directional elements to the background tile map, but then I decided to submit as Compo and drew up my own tiles. But I'll definitely do something in that regard if I ever expand on the game.
@yorsh Thanks! Yeah for sure, especially on level three where you can just drop straight down onto the box. This is my first physics engine based game attempt so the rope physics are a bit of a quick hack with small segments and pin joints.
@made3 Yeah - if I ever put some more work into this concept I'll have a crash animation rather than jumping back into a menu so it should be more obvious what happened.
@kierogi Thanks - and yeah I think some of the backgrounds have some issues. Originally I had flat color backgrounds, but if you flew into the middle of a level you had no sense of speed or direction, so I quickly tried to add some patterns to the tiles.
@mikoziq Yeah - the original intent for the timer was a simple high score mechanism, fly more dangerously and succeed with a lower time.
@lenan Yeah with more time I would have probably done a zoom mechanic at the start of the levels - show the whole level, then zoom into the player.
@tempestcognitor Part of the inspiration for the game was those cheap tiny drones that you can fly for a few minutes before the props break off :)
@milq Thanks! Unfortunately didn't get around to keyboard controls for the menu.
Graphics are amazing, but not a huge fan of not having defined "lanes" like other infinite runners do. It seems pretty easy to be a few pixels off and collide with something, but it is a bit hard to tell with the isometric perspective. Effects are great though and would be excellent on mobile.
Nice work! Took me a bit to realize that I was trying to throw boxes onto any vehicle and not just the trucks, and had to go back to the main menu to find out I should knock off the other boxes. But real fun once you get into it! Would be fun in VR!
Very nice, simple concept and very well executed. I think it would be nice if there was some backflow when you get a strike, just to give the player a second to recover...I feel like once I miss one then the game is pretty much over each time.
Nice game, feels like the most complete game I've played so far. Controls are a little wonky (Having to click text rather than a key) and the camera was a little odd, but nice work. Music was also great.
Just tried it out, fun simple little avoidance game. The restart from beginning is pretty brutal :) I like the painted backgrounds!
Very nice! Great setup for mobile with a single tap for a control. Graphics are super polished.
Fun little game - I had the same idea :) I like the intro of the game where you pick up the box, it reminds me of an old DOS game I played as a kid where you had to pick up shapes on a truck and deliver them. The duck difficulty ramping seems pretty good - only thing is I would let them go past the edge of the screen before removing them just for a smoother animation.
Great game, nicely polished. Only thing I would change is somehow indicating which delivery is "more pressing" in the game world (vs just on the phone.) Otherwise, very fun, feels like a 2d platformer version of Crazy Taxi.
Nice little game! Simple concept, nicely polished. Sound design is great. Also - big fan of your playdate videos, still waiting to get my group 5 order.
Great game, balance feels well done between managing barking/peeing to keep the door protected.
Good game! Though in my first run I was immediately smashed by an asteroid after delivering my first pizza, so I was a bit confused as to whether I had done something wrong. Second run went much better :)
Music is awesome, especially just starting once you hit a key to start the game. The physics are real fun to play around with, though I did end up breaking the ship and only having one thruster direction.
Hey, it seems your github repo is empty, did you commit/push your changes to github? Also the itch.io link is a 404.
