Air Delivery by LeviDSmith

[raw]
made by LeviDSmith for Ludum Dare 53 (COMPO)

Use your plane to deliver the packages to as many houses as possible. Watch out for the balloons, as they will damage your plane. Three hits and you are done. Packages can also be used to clear the balloons. But be careful, as you have a limited number of packages. Pick up a package refill to replenish the stock of packages on your plane.

Controls - Arrow keys to move - Space to drop package

Balloons to avoid

  • Orange – These will fly directly at your plane in a wave motion
  • Rose – These fly in a circle motion
  • Yellow – These are stationary until you plane gets close, then they will chase your plane

Simple but very cool game. The number of balloons was a tad bit haunting at times, so some difficulty scaling might be in order, but it's a game jam... balancing is a tough nut to crack.

Even so, it would have been really nice to see and endless mode, just going for as long as you can.

Overall I think it is a fine entry. I liked it.

It would be nice to see the score on the game over screen and to be able to play again.
The airplane feels a bit slow compared to the baloons and the hitboxes seem to be very unforgiving.
Also an indicator of the distance to the goal would be cool, so you know that it has a goal and is not infinitely generated.
Other than that, the graphics are very clear on what everything means and that makes it really easy to understand the game from the start.

This is one of those very straightforward games you can pick up and immediately start having fun playing. I like that the balloons have different AI, it gives it more variety and makes it more replayable. It's pretty easy at first but gets difficult. Also, who is releasing all these evil balloons?! I feel like there is a villain origin story to be told about the balloons... ;)
