Fine I'll Do It Myself by axelrinaldo

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

You are a box. Your postman has abandoned you. Time to take things into your own hands.

I wasn't very excited about the theme this time so instead of aiming high I made this a more chill weekend of game development where I learnt Godot and tried to explore some new features. This means that this game has utilised advanced technology like tilemaps (!) and parallax (!) and it has two (2!) whole levels! The game is very simple, you click on your box, drag your mouse and release in order to launch your box to the skies and beyond. The goal is simple: reach the mailbox at the end of the level and complete your mailmans job for him. There are complications in the form of slimes but I think you can manage to avoid them. :)

Tips: * You throw your box with more power the further away from the box your mouse is when you release. * You can utilise the above point in conjunction with zooming in and out in order to get more precise control or more max power. * You can always restart by pressing R. * Slimes wobble, that is an important tip. slime.gif
