banner3.png About:

Hey baka!

It seems that you were hit by a car and died on the spot. Too bad. To make matters worse, heaven is full, and the only way out of limbo is through winning the heart of a cute anime girl. Thankfully, there are 3 such girls who live in the limbo world, and they all need something - their lost packages.

Find and deliver all of their packages to them and in exchange they will bring you back to life (and love you forever). What are you waiting for? Time is running out!

Awesome game, I love the concept and the cute graphics. I was terrible at driving and got my car wedged at diagonal between two narrow walls and couldn't wiggle my way out - oops! Overall a fun game.

I really love the concept and the character art, along with the general plotline. I also think the game definitely fits in well with the delivery theme and had me enthralled (I was playing this for a good hour trying to get the delivery meters filled for all of the characters). I really, really, want to see all of the different endings!

I think the toughest part for me was that it was possible to get a "dud" delivery package where you've already filled someone's meter, but the package you pick up is for that person (and hence won't have any effect). So. you have to go all the way to their place and drop off the extra package in order to be able to pick up a new one. That made it very tough to get all of the meters full on a single run (especially if you start getting panicked and crash your car once you start rushing)!

Overall though, I love the vibe of the game, I love the music, and the game had me captivated for quite a while. Great work!

The graphics/art looks fantastic !!!
The control of the car is not very good but maybe is because of the frame rate on my laptop.
That remind me a lot of japanese game with car, and mix delivery game with visual novel element works very well.

Next time, to increase the mood think to put some sound like car engine, accident sound, sound for dialogs etc....you can easily find sound free and you have had already opt out the audio category.

You made an amazing job in a short time ! Congrats to the team !

The game is fun, and the sprites are really cool, I like it! It was a bit hard to control the car at first but that's okay, I got used to it quickly. Great job! :)

I'm really impressed by the graphics and art here! I was particularly excited to find an anime-style game with some additional mechanic, and here it is xd The delivery game and visual novel mixture is what really makes it stand out. Congrats to the team for creating such an amazing game in such a short amount of time!

The art is really well done and I also liked the layout of the environment. Maybe it was something about the route I was driving but it felt like there were a lot of repeats in the things I was picking up. I only got 1 thing for the cyberpunk character ever and otherwise I was basically doing laps between the other two. This made me want a button to drop a current item in case it was for a character I didn't want to focus on at the time.

Amazing character design! I managed to escape thanks the tech girl who is clearly the best :D I'm really curious about the other endings too. I assume there's an ending for maxing out all three but that seems almost impossible.

The art and character design is really attractive for me! The character design is so crazy and I love them all. It might be more comfortable if the cars moved a little slower.

The characters were so pretty!! <3 Wonderful job on that! I was able to get the girl I was shooting for, Satana! Pretty fun, I was bouncing all over the walls in that car, lol!

Really cool game! Loved the graphics, the tight streets, the characters, and their responses to the gifts. Having to figure out what package was for whom was also a really cool touch, not very difficult mind you, but it still added another layer to the game.

As something of a racing game player, I would've hoped for a bit more top speed, and a handbrake button for those tight corners, but I'm honestly impressed you got the car controls to feel this good in such a short time in the first place, and the reverse 180s were very easy and satisfying to pull at least.

I was literally 2 seconds away from getting max hearts on all three, which was quite intense. It was a little too much down to chance whether you'd pick up a package for the right person, so being able to drop a package instead of having to deliver it would've been nice.

Overall, it was a really fun experience! Great work, can't wait to see what you'll do next jam!

Managed to 100% the game (not that it was easy!)

Positives:
- A lot of time was spent on the art which turned out really well
- Everything felt pretty cohesive
- Map had a lot of care put into it and it was fun learning the way around it

Few points of critique:
- The way the minimap doesn't rotate with the car can be really disorienting. It might've also benefitted from being zoomed out a bit
- Getting 100% was very reliant on luck since you can still get packages for girls you've already made love you. I got 6 Demon girl packages in a row once! Something to counteract this would've been nice
- Level felt a bit cramped at times
- Just the act of driving could've been made more interesting

Overall it was a pleasant experience and the presentation was nice, with some room for improvement (as there always is). Well done!

Things I liked:
- The 2D art is very pretty and well done. Love the character design for Lexi :)
- The cherry blossoms made it such a treat to drive around the town. Great job making a cute little town to drive around in!
- The sticker on the car after you restart is a nice touch.

Things that could've been better:
- I wish I could've been able to make more meaningful choices in this game. For example, I can't even pick which route I want to go after because I can't see what gift is inside the box until I pick it up. Once I pick it up, I can't put it back down.
- Driving wasn't really fun and felt tedious to do. I felt pressure to keep playing in order to fill up a meter and see the ending after 10 minutes, not really because the game was fun to play.

very cute little entry, I got way too invested in levelling all of the waifus up but unfortunately I barely got any packages for the demon girl so couldn't get the best ending. Some way to choose what package you want to pick up or be able to swap them might be something to consider! Good job on the game! :)

Great artwork and fun game to match the right deliveries! Trying to find packages was sometimes a little annoying but in general I had a good time, managed to get a GOOD END with Lexi and Konoko. Love the small touches like DIE on the start menu and the stickers on the car after completing one ending!

Nice game. Loved the cutesy graphics and music. Would've been nice to have controls to discard a package if it wasn't one I needed. Excellent work.

It had quite the personality going and gorgeous art, both 2D characters and the 3D world. I'm not the biggest fan of driving/car games that much personally, but the game seemed quite smooth regardless. I got stuck with the car at times, but the way it moved was intuitive and as expected while not that easy, so got the bad end, lol. GG Good game C:
