Hey there!

With my buddy Aeoncl, we're participating for the very first time, and we're pretty excited to publish our game.

In Fragile, you play as a delivery kangaroo, who tries his best to deliver packages safely to their destination.

In this "die & retry" platforming game, your patience will be challenged through unique package juggling mechanics. Will you be able to beat every level and deliver every package ? Be sure to tell us in the comments if you do :)

Looking forward to everyone's feedback !

D0vid & Aeon

Thanks for playing !

Love this. Simple yet interesting and a funny wind system.
Good difficulty too, it made me tryhard for a bit in order to beat every level.
Well played !

Well this is very fun, but 2 things really stuck out as a bit more annoying than anything else.
1: the package can go so far off the screen that it can be completely lost track of.
2: the amount of times the pack turned around and just flew across back where I came from. Not sure exactly how one would counter act something like that however, because it does keep you somewhat on your toes, compared to it not being there.

Loved the art especially the kangaroo, the game was very fun to play, enjoyed having to balance constantly moving and juggling the package with the platforming and dashing, lots going on, a very fun game

@stellarnightmare Hey thanks a lot for the feedback ! Just a quick question, did you play the game on full-screen ? Because there is an indicator to show where the package is going when it's off-screen, but it's barely visible when you don't enable full-screen sadly !

@fiinrii Thank you so much !! We're really glad you enjoyed it :smile:

@Zukaryo Thanks a lot :heart_eyes:

Haha this is cute. It's like keep the balloon up but as a video game. The amount of controls (q+e+space+ arrows) eventually overwhelmed my hands. I think if it only had one fewer (maybe up is jump instead of direct package) it would be more feasible for my brain.

Challenging game, nice sounds and graphics. I really liked that "miau" sound at the beginning of intro sound.

What a cute and fun little game! I swear, this is how my mailman delivers all the parcels XD

Excellent game! My one suggestion is to make the introductory levels shorter. It gets quite difficult quite fast, and it would be nice to have some successes to motivate the player to keep going 😁

This is such a fun game, but the controls feel like they aren't always responding to the box.
Lovely art and music (though that's a tad loud).

@blueanoli Thanks :D cheers to the vinyl record split in half in the mailbox xD

@joaosilva22 Ty!!! Yes ! i agree. The difficulty curve was one of the hardest part of designing the levels. The more you try them out, the more you get good at them so you can't tell anymore when something is too hard

@jaxah Thanks ! Yes the player movement class is a if else spaguetti maze xD i don't even know how it works anymore. Thank you for the feedback :D

Very fun game. Not the usual shipping method) . The control seemed a little inconvenient to me, my parcel was constantly breaking, it might be possible to approach the parcel calmly at first, and not jerkily. In general, the game is fun and fun!)

I'm bad at these types of games, so it was pretty difficult for me, but I really like the concept! Controls were simple and easy to understand, and hitting the package to keep it up in the air was fun :grin:

Great job for your first jam!!

Hey hey, thanks for adding it to stream, even if I couldn't quite get it, I really enjoyed this game! It's sometimes a bit tedious and sometimes feels unfair, but mastering that dash felt great!
