Not a bad game, you can see that the authors tried. I liked the graphics and the music, but the gameplay is incomprehensible and apparently not fully realized - no clear instructions and tasks, the physics is broken, but the space dogs captured my heart :3

Graphics were nice - the dogs didn't really seem to do much - but they were cute

movement seems to be very sensitive for me, and very little explanation on what to do

Very nice visuals and audio, but unfortunately I have no idea what I'm doing. I tried following the red arrow but could never seem to find what it was pointing at. No idea what any of the items do :(

@mrhumannn thank you for the feedback!
@wrac4242 yeah, you might be right about it, player moves very fast.
@walaber have you seen the exclamation point? You need to go for it :wink:

Sorry, it's my bad, that i forgot to explain what you need to do! But the gameplay is quite easy - you just need to follow the red arrow to deliver packages, but packages are changing every 10 seconds

I like the concept of delivering something every 10 seconds, but the way the map is designed makes it difficult to achieve. Sometimes dropping platforms seems like a good idea to get back to the centre of the world quickly (though we'd need a mini map to really know where to go). If this is intentional, teleporters to travel from one side of the map to the other would be even better I think.
But well, Loved the art & the sound (and the dog). Good work :)

@nobuna-no, @phillip-scott, @mrhumannn thank you for your feedback, it really motivates me to continue to develop my 3d design skills

Cool entry! I find the concept easy to understand, it's fun to chase to the pick up and delivery points, although sometimes I felt like it was impossible to reach the destination on time, even when using sprint as much as possible. Absolutely agree with @mrhumannn the space dogs are just lovely :dog: :) Looking forward to future projects, keep jamming :) :outbox_tray: :inbox_tray:

Too difficult for me to catch these things in a row. But very good point is that the game doesn't stop when you fail. Actually, the game is very fail tolerant which makes me happy.
Graphics, motion, animation and controls are good. I see a potential in this game

Great game !! really good concept. Got stuck in middle for a while but figured out the way later. Awesome work for a limited time jam. You shoud go with this concept further. Please do check out my submission as well.

I like ideas you used in this game, like space dogs and throwing items
And I often used jump off the map as a shortcut to next item haha
Music is not really fits the theme, but anyways it adds life to a game
Art is amazing, good job)

Very enjoyable game, it's a fun little concept. The visuals are cool and everything fit together. The game is easy to understand and we are quickly into it, chasing post box to delivers the packages. Well done!

Solid entry! I really liked the 3d graphics (especially the dog and space house models!) and your choice of background music. Having only 10 seconds to pickup a package was really hard, I would consider making the map a little smaller, and then making it progressively larger over time.

Thank you for feedback, @simba ! Yeah, i agree with map size, we will really do it smaller a bit, idea about making it progressively longer is interesting, we'll look into it!

So this is what it's like to be a mail man/courier... :sweat: Good job!

Great graphics and wonderful music - however I feel sorry for that poor delivery guy. I'd quit this job the first day! This is a mayhem! :)

@antonin-charvat We promise that with the release of the next update its working conditions will improve!)

Definitely need a controller for this game! Being able to move at any angle rather than only in 8 directions really let me cross those bridges smoothly.
Graphics and music are great.
Suggestion for improvement: I'd love a little celebration when I'd made a delivery successful. A small audio and visual cue or other celebration VFX.
Alexander Salkov
16. Oct 2022 · 19:43 UTC
@candlesan, Yes, it's a great idea to somehow reward the player at the moment of successful delivery, we'll definitely add

A charming little game! I think ten seconds is a bit too short a time to navigate the environment, but that it wouldn't be difficult to make this game feel great! I know it's not of your creation, but your choice of music is great, I'd say you should probably consider crediting it! The graphics are lovely, from the design of the characters to the background environment objects, especially the space stuff.


The only thing is I really couldn't figure out what any of the items did!

Really nice graphics. I very much enjoyed delivering packages in this little world. When using a keyboard it's very easy to get stuck or slide against the sides (Causing the character to move choppily) of the bridges that are at all diagonal and since it is pretty sensitive it didn't feel great to tap another direction to move slightly. Very nice entry.

@sparkinex, thank you for your comment, we are working on fixing all the problems!
