I didn't realize you had to use the up arrow key to deflect the shots from above at first - might be nice to specify that in your insructions! Love the art though!

Oh you can block the diagonals! Wow this is fast pace, but pays off! Also I appreciate the direct embed. :smiley:

Good looking game! I just delivered one package. I feel that some bullets arrive at the same time and it was very difficult to block them.

I decided to stop after going over 10k because I wasn't sure if there was an ending? Great game! controls are fun and responsive ^^

@rickylee the game doesn't stop until you're defeated, which comes after timer gets over 30 seconds. And you have beaten my highscore 😁

good controls.
good feeling.
Had a hard time in getting two simultaneous attacks blocked. There should be a little gap in between them to get the action going.
Well done for most parts.

Love the graphics. I don't exactly know how but when the button turned green I managed to perform a bunch of deliveries in just a couple of seconds. And then everything was super speedy and became really hard.
Nice entry!

@tanis I checked it, there is a bug. When button turns green, game still accepts the E key even after first delivery. It must have slipped while I was making a pause for animation. Thank you for noticing!

Simple but effective. There wasn't anything too crazy here mechanically, but it was just simple and fun. The concept fits the theme pretty well and works well as a jam game. The graphics are very nice overall, though I would have appreciated a few more background details. The lasers were also difficult to block when they came in clusters, so it seemed like it was mostly luck that let me make a delivery, but that's not a huge deal. I liked the frantic mash on the arrow keys to try and block all of them at once. Really solid overall!

@mathstr0fficial thank you for this feedback! I didn't have time to do background better, that was my first game ever😅

Loved the art, and the gameplay was simple to learn, but fun to try and get the hang of! My score wasn't very good, but I enjoyed checking it out. Thanks for sharing!

The animations and graphics are amazing. Once you have figured out how to efficiently use the keys, it becomes managable. But it seems there is no end/purpose for the game? I lasted 3 deliveries before I quitted.

@njitnelav thanks for your feedback. There is no actual ending, it's more of how long you can survive the attacks, but when the timer resets to more than 30 seconds you lose. You can't actually win in this game 🙃

Love the art! Feel like it needs some balancing to make sure it's actually possible to deflect all incoming bullets, because sometimes there are 4 coming at you at the same time and it's pretty hard. Nice game, I earned 2k money :)

earned about 6k before getting late.

fun and hard reflex game! i think my fingers need some rest now. i liked the pixelart. some bullets were not blockable since they could come from 3 different places at the same time. but game felt nice to play!

The character designs are well done, I think you should've started with a price, and when it reaches 0 you lose or get some sort of penalty. Also sometimes I felt I couldn't avoid the bullets since the control response has a very small but noticeable delay.
