Cat Stranding by 0x01F0
This is a homage to a game with a certain delivery man 🐳
Due to the Cat Stranding event, people have been forced to live inside their homes. The only one who can withstand the night is Beth, the delivery cat.
Plays best with a controller! 🎮
Xbox works fine and a PS4 controller + DSInput should work too.
Use the compass! 🧭

Make deliveries and get new packages 🚚📦
Leave one..

Get a new one..

Default keyboard settings ⌨

Yes, the people are barrels 😁🙈
We overscoped and did not have time to fix everything 🚧 ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Here's a map if the compass isn't enough 👀🗺

Edit: just checked, i remember "Gainz 4 Cash" game it was a banger!

how fun, so we meet again :D I remember your Noir Vampire game, it had a really nice mood :)
Controls feels nice but a bit stiff, tree hitbox are oversized, but you deserve the title of "dream game made in a weekend" hands down.
I like the sound design here also -- the compass is satisfying to open. I ended up holding down the 'C' key the entire time so perhaps I would have liked to been able to toggle the compass instead of having to hold the button down.
After collecting the box where the person says, "You never came to visit me", I ran down a hill to deliver to my next house --only to hit an invisible wall.
It seems like the collision boxes might be too large -- it caused an issue when I was trying to run through a field of rocks, and prevented me from running around the side of the house:

This did take me out of the immersion as did some of the faceting on the cliffs. But otherwise I was impressed with how much you got done. I might suggest shortening the amount of running at the beginning of the game, just so players can get some context more quickly (I ran all the way to the village only to realize I had to pick up the package and run right back!), but otherwise it was really cool experience!
Death stranding 10\10
Result is 10\10
it's a work environment risk for a delivery cats to jump because they might forget it whilst carrying packages and hurt their backs :scream_cat:
:no_entry_sign:
jokes aside, thanks for the feedback, I wish to have it too, it was too hard to add at the time :cold_sweat:
Although I need to say that level design was rather confusing and distance to walk from my perspective was too long for such a small game.
Anyway great entry!
Thanks for the kind words and feedback :heart_eyes:
