LD53 — Delivery

Uber-Heck by RubixNoob13 2023-05-03T00:29:32Z

I like the overall idea and the attention to detail with the mechanics (needing to refuel, being able to view the phone to accept/decline deliveries, the reverse camera, etc.). Also, I like the concept of "Heck" having an uber driver going around doing deliveries lol.

However, I think controlling the car is a bit difficult, especially when going over a bump or touching the ground after dropping off a steep incline. It sort of goes out of control.

Regardless, nice job!

Truck your package by hardycore77 2023-05-03T00:16:59Z

So I know it's a bit unfinished, but this is a nice prototype for a pretty cool concept. Going uphill feels basically impossible lol, but otherwise I liked the idea and gameplay.

Kittens: A Tale of Yarn and Woe by FlashViper 2023-05-04T01:35:34Z

Really fun entry, the controls feel great, and the art style and animation are really well done. Being able to cancel an action into another action is good touch as well. Although I noticed that mashing the jump button and dash/pounce button lets you fly around the level like superman, but maybe that's intentional lol. There's also unfortunately a severe lack of jellyfish in this game.

Superstar Surgeon: a Sensitive Subject by Fupi 2023-05-04T02:02:42Z

Wow, this game is super impressive! The theme was executed perfectly, the gameplay is simple but fun and challenging, the art and animation are great, the music and sound effects are fantastic, and the plot itself has a good amount of humor while also providing some thoughtful narrative. My only nitpick is that it can be a bit hard to shoot the orbs sometimes. Maybe making the collider a bit larger than the sprite would help.

Overall, this is my favorite entry so far! Great job!

Great entry! Love everything about the aesthetic. The background, the screen border, and the design of all of the interactable objects and UI works really well together. The gameplay is a nice twist on the classic match-3 style mechanic, and overall the game has nice relaxing vibe to it. Also, having the title screen be interactive was a great way to get a player familiar with the controls.

Random idea for a future version - the area that the orbs fall into could have a face on it like the other machines. As the area fills up, the facial expressions could change in order to tell the player how close to overflowing it is.

Demonic Delivery by ShannonHG 2023-05-04T02:30:42Z

@shamantramp Thank you! And yeah I wish I could've gotten around to making the gameplay loop more interesting :sweat_smile:. Probably could've have managed my time better.

@brineleaves Thank you! :pray:

@fruitflinger Thanks! Yep both would have been really good things to have.

@paroxysmal Thanks! :pray:

@partysquadmember Thanks for playing! Yeah I definitely would have liked to add some sound effects and some more polish to the game. Very good points.

@batisdark Thank you! I wish I could've added some audio as well! I started to search for some, but the deadline was getting too close. I should have started to look for that a bit earlier. Happy that you liked the border effects and background, was a very random art style that I decided to go with lol.

@fupi Thanks for checking it out! Yeah I tried to stay with a simple concept since I always end up over scoping and not finishing in time, but I would've liked to make the gameplay loop more interesting and fun to play too. And yeah, I should have got some audio in as well :sweat_smile:. I should have prioritized both of those things a bit earlier I think.

THC - Tower Highflower Carriers by Noam Blei 2023-05-04T02:14:11Z

Cool concept! It would be nice to have a bit of a tutorial to tell you how to play though. Took me a while to really understand what to do. Also, the "unit" icons on the bottom right don't look "clickable", so I didn't realize I was supposed to be pressing them to spawn units. But overall it's a cool entry, good job!

Dragon Egg Delivery Service by Jackaljk 2023-05-02T23:31:41Z

Great work! Super creative idea with great music and fun gameplay. I really like the fact that there's sort of 2 unique gameplay loops (the dragon and the firefighter), it keeps it interesting.

It can be a bit hard to control the dragon and firefighter at first, but you get used to it a bit. I also didn't completely understand how the egg dispenser worked at first, so the first egg went straight to the ground lol. Probably would be nice to have an indicator of where the egg would shoot out to, or allow your first few eggs to not affect your "rage" meter.

But regardless, great job!

Of Mice and Mail by ShamanTramp 2023-05-02T23:01:23Z

Nice concept! The gameplay is fun, the music is great, and the art is unique and cool. My only complaints are that it can be a bit hard to tell where a box is going to go when you hit it, and speeding up the bat swing animation would improve it a lot.

Also, being able to break objects in the environment is a nice touch!
