INTRODUCTION

-You've just scored a gig at the illustrious "Milky Way Deliveries Incorporated", a delivery company specialized in making interstellar, FTL deliveries. Kind of like Fed-Ex, but less likely to lose your mail in transit.

Try to deliver as much mail as possible, without losing too much to the infinite void of space!

CLOSING COMMENTS

It's been a blast working on this lil game for LD53! It's been a long time since I participated in a jam like this, and I'm really happy with the results given the time constraints and real life day-to-day obligations. I hope folks enjoy this project! Cheers for checking it out!

hey, I must say, your game is really cool! The overall ambiance and vibe you've created is fantastic. While some of the levels posed a real challenge, the gravity mechanics made the experience all the more enjoyable.
All in all, I had a blast playing your game! :thumbsup:

Wow this looks and sounds great! The boss character is very well drawn, and the music is fantastic and easy to bop along to while playing. The game itself is super hard! I'm not sure if I was missing a trick or just being rubbish but it took me quite a few tries to get each level, and it felt a bit random when I did.

Nice game, I liked the graphics and the idea of sending mails in space using gravity! Still the game was kind of too hard for me, I sometimes sent the mail really close from the goal, but without succeeding.

Really cool graphics and the music is catchy. I like the green guy, kind of reminds me of Megamind lol. I had a great time, but as others have said it was difficult. My suggestion would be to make some planets stationary or move slower. That way skillful shots are still possible, but are more predictable. Great job overall!

I really liked the vibe, and always like seeing trajectories, especially if it's in a solar system! :D So I enjoyed shooting around for a while, but lots of times I just got lucky. Is it physically accurate? Good entry!

Really fun game, but quiet hard. Hitting targets while moving quickly was really hard, but then actually hitting the target was quiet satisfying. Really good job!

Nice! I also worked on space "deliveries", a bit different, but nice!

While the game was quite hard and I couldn't really get past the first few levels, it had a pretty polished and fun feel. The sound effect of the packages ponging of the asteroids had me laughing hard. I think the game could have used a few easier levels to build up more intuition on how the packages move through gravity, but strong effort overall!
