Stop the Delivery by Maskrosen

[raw]
made by Maskrosen for Ludum Dare 53 (JAM)

Did you hear that Kevin’s at it again? Yeah that’s right, he’s on his bike right now about to deliver another package of drugs. Who’s Kevin you ask, he’s the guy that skips the line, never picks up his trash and thinks it’s cool to sell drugs to kids.

The town has reached out to you to stop the delivery. Create distractions and hurdles by clicking on items along the road. Be sure to find the right combination of obstacles to end this once and for all. Good luck!

How to play - Stop Kevin from reaching the end of the road - Use your mouse to click on items in the world - Press and hold the space bar to fast forward - It's crucial to activate key items in a certain order to be able to stop Kevin

Not sure how to figure out what order things are meant to be clicked in and likely would have just brute forced through it. Need some clear call to action that indicates what the player should do.

The game art was very nice though!

Very complicated game, I don't want to get too deep about this, but I'm going to say that it's really slow and there is no auto restart.

@stingby12 you can hold down space to speed up the game. And I'm not sure what you mean about auto restart, but the game restarts if you lose which happens when Kevin reaches the end of the road

Love the art style and the animations. Wasn't clear how I was meant everything to interact though.

@maskrosen I meant press a button to restart, you have to wait for Kevin to reach the end of the road, and it's not fun at all.

"I enjoyed playing it's such a unique concept for a game! The idea of trying to sabotage the mailman's trip by strategically placing obstacles in his way was both entertaining and challenging. However, I did find it a bit difficult to understand how to effectively hinder his way since the objects didn't always seem to have a direct influence on the mailman. Despite this, I appreciated ocasional animals and really cute graphic style. Good job!

Failed to finish the game. I have found: woods, birds, a cat, and a lumberjack. I think I missed something :(

The way in which the solution came about (not gonna spoil it here) was quite surprinsing to me, especially as the rest of the game seemed quite grounded in reality but I really enjoyed it. Nice artstile , good sound design, nice small all-in-all package:) Would play a collection of 20 of these with some connective story bits.

Nice art and idea. I couldn't finish the game, I'm stuck. I found all the things the other players said before, I also timed the tree fall on Kevin's head, but nothing worked for me xDD

Tried a couple of times, and then figured "hey, kids just need their drugs", so I just left it alone. Good graphics and awesome concept. Well done.

Incredibly complicated. I don't think the solution made a lot of sense, and the red herrings didn't help.
With that said i think this is a super neat idea, and if the interactions tied more logically together and the game "told you" that you had made a correct connection, it would be fun to try the different interactions to finally get the entire puzzle solved.
