Parcel Run by JoeShanahan
In the near future, delivering parcels is a crime! Only a select few corporations are allowed and you're not one of them. But that's not about to stop you from trying! The authorities will stop you, of course - but you'll put on one heck of a show before then!
How to Play
Run around town to locate post boxes with packages to be sent, pick them up, and take them to the correct house! Simple enough, eh? The more packages you deliver, the more the authorities will send in people to stop you. Things don't stay simple for long.
- Arrows/WASD - Move
- Space - Jump
- E - Throw Package
Keep playing until you run out of hearts. If you're finding things too easy or too difficult, try going to the settings menu and changing your starting health.
Q: How do I win?
A: You cannot win, you will eventually get caught
Q: How do I hurt the enemies?
A: You cannot hurt the enemies, they can only hurt you
Q: How do I get health back?
A: You cannot get health back, it only goes down
Q: Wow, it kinda sounds like losing is an inevitability!
A: Yes, the best you can do is delay it :wink:

@briibot thanks for the kind words, I found it particularly funny when the police would dive at you and intercept a bullet, as if they were protecting you
@initialposition yeah, still getting the hang of rigid body based player movement, you're totally right that it's slippy right now, room for improvement! Thanks for the feedback! 😄
Visibility was tough at times, but i'm not sure if that was intended or not.
This felt really polished
If we had a bit more time, we would've added more postboxes so you had a bit more choice!
Maybe I will add a map or radar where mailboxes or mails are, but still is very very very good!
Hey, Thanks for playing our game!
I love how everything is structured. Title Screen, Tutorial, Main Game, Sandbox. It all looks and feels very pleasant. Too bad you didn't have someone to specifically write music for this game.. but what you picked out does fit!
I was getting annoyed at first having to find out which Postbox has the next package but once I learned all 3 positions, it was fine. I wish there was some kind of advantage you can get per package instead of just having more enemies on screen the farther you go.
Loved the enemy animation btw lol!!
YOU HAVE A CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION!? WOW! Well done! The music was great and the control fluid. Still laughing like a crazy lady at this and I don't know why XD
Great work!
Maybe you can improve on the camera angles since sometimes it's completely blocked and you can't see the player?
Still definitely one of the best games i've played in the jam so far... Also loved the military dudes and imaginary cutscene 🤩
All of the "clothes" are just scaled up body parts, so the artwork didn't take much time - it's mostly just the UI that took some work.
Thank goodness for DOTween, made everything feel so much more polished!
