Before I knew it there was trouble. The mail main was in a bad way that ... dog had him corner but dogs love steak. I had a steak. The mailman was grateful but he needed to take some time to reflect on the incident. I knew I could help others but I was not ready for the business man. I really thought I was ready. Suddenly I am the mailman I knew it. &quot;Whats this a package well I know what to do with this&quot; I marched over to the postoffice. But wait. Who was I before I was a mail man? Theres no time for this. People need my help. Maybe this package could help the business man. Whoa! An axe. But who would send someone an Axe. I wood(zing). Suddenly something crazy was going down and I needed to get everyone where they needed to go. I went to the post office. Success. Now I am the business man. What do business man do?

Helping people one after the other, changing characters via an overview map, etc. this is a nice touch. But I feel the game fail a bit to deliver the experience you initialy planned because of the gameplay and the overall confusing mechanics. Maybe you will work on that? At first I was skeptical regarding theme, but I had to acknowledge the fact that you actually made a game on only on screen..."},{"author_name":"Kopeph Developers","author_uid":"47032","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 5:04am","epoch":1418101140,"text":"Everything is glitchy and most of the assets look like placeholders, but somehow it's really engaging.

That turned into three once we realized we would not have time.\r\n\r\n----- Theme ------\r\nEverything in the game is happen on that one screen in the very beginning. You are limited to that once screen. Thus the entire game is on one screen. \r\n\r\n---- Problems ----\r\nThere were some character controller glitches.\r\nThe water could just be watched into and seem like it wasn't there.\r\nThe water looked weird. \r\nNo sound. \r\nSome camera issues. \r\n\r\n\r\n---- Overall ----\r\n\r\nCould have been a lot better but there just wasn't enough time.
