Fun and quirky game, the animations made me laugh out loud and the game over screen is a nice touch.

Had a nice groovy, synthy soundtrack. The enemy model was amusing. I also liked the postage stamps next to the main menu.

Throwing items is a bit janky since the character will either baseball throw an item or kind of slowly lob it. I couldn't really tell if melee attack were hitting or not, so I just defaulted to throwing packages at enemies at all times. Picking up packages is a bit finicky as well.

You see, *this* is why I love game jams. Where else would I find commentary on our collapsing postal system in a katamari style wack-a-mole with anthropomorphized mail?

I feel like I could see the envelope on legs in a silent hill game XD definitely wouldn't want to see it in a dark hallway

I was going to post an image of a person, sitting, deep in thought because I have no real words for this game.

I couldn't make it work. Maybe that is a metaphor for this game.

Keep on making crazy things like this and I will keep on playing them.

Avant-garde, I like the aesthetic. It's a little too easy to indefinitely dodge the envelopes once you can establish a route.

Art house game. Very innovative.

I'm probably going to have dreams about this game.

If you had told me last week that I'd be beating sexy legged letters with a poster mailer today... I'd probably say "Oh, Ludum Dare must be on!"

Wacky and fun!

A super original take on the theme!

What an experience ^^

That reminded me a lot of games I played back in the 90s from Demo CDs. :)

# feedback time!
- very original, sex legged enemies and protagonist ^^
- the game concept is easy enough to understand on the first take, yet it isn't easy to beat the game -> good job
- the assets are clean and the graphic style is 90s - did you use a special shader or is this just by textures?
- the game gets repetitive - of course - after about 8 waves. Maybe bringing in some fresh items or other turns on the game would make it more fun to play it a longer time. Or even just another "level" (adding a wall or so in the center for example)
- controls are done fine
- I liked how the enemies were kicking me ^^ ... what else should they do? but it felt very comical and fun

So! All in all a good game for the short time :)

Keep up the good work!

Pretty funny models and animations, the controls are pretty nice too. I wish there was more variety but that's not always possible with jam games

LEGS!

It's satisfying to throw those boxes :D

My new favorite category on P*rnhub.
More seriously the idea is good but the gameplay is really basic and would have been better with some variations in terms of damage with the size of boxes or something else like that.

Gives a good impression at first with them smooth graphics and movement. Considering it's a compo game pretty good job. Also, we can all agree that letters in this day and age can only bring bad news.

Hitting things was kind of disappointing to be honest, I don't think I have managed to kill a single evil letter, they have too many hitpoints or spawn too fast. And throwing a big box raises expectations that some mass effect will happen, but it is same old. But I'm sure making all these 3D stuff work took too much time to throw in all the ideas you may have had.

Very good game! I like the unusual artstyle and the surreal music, i had difficulty aiming, due to the isometric view, but i got used to it. Very good work!

Thank you, now i understand how my package went missing yesterday. I'm fond of WTF games, good work. :)

Cool game! It is very fun to play and the graphics are great for a compo game! I think you should have made the enemies a one shot kill as they end up spawning quite a lot. But, overall, amazing work!

Reminded of those good 80s fx music videos on MTV, with the music and the concept of leggy envelopes.
ALthough I cannot see the theme very much in this game, I enjoyed the overall style.

An interesting game. I felt like I wasn't doing much because I don't think I ever saw a mail die, but that's probably because I'm just very tired. Despite that, I made it this far.
