Package Peril by RosyMaple

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

In Package Peril, you must deliver packages to the countless many. You must deliver as many packages as you can within a strict time limit.

You must pack your truck with packages, a max of five spawned at any given time, and deliver them to the listed address. And yes, we know it will be annoying to do with the current build.

a package is delivered when it is placed in front of the correct house the package will turn blue

Switch between package mode and driving mode with 'Q'. In package mode, use WASD as movement. Your left click picks up packages, and drops them on release. If you press right click while holding a package, you throw it.

In driving mode, use the W and S as the forwards and backwards movement, AD as steering, and 'Space' as break. H honks your horn.

escape key will close the game

very, very basic game. Could've done with a tutorial because, in all honesty, a lot of people are not going to read the description for controls.

sensitivity is really high too.

generally not the best thing ever, but nice try, these things are hard to do.

I can see this game has a lot of potential to be a fun, fast-paced action adventure, but it just feels like it was cut a little short! The driving sound effects caught me off guard and gave me a good chuckle.

I can't vote because I'm on Debian GNU/Linux. But from the description it looks very good!

Interesting concept. Controls when on foot were abit too titchy and the adresses seemed too random to be able to strategize around. Could be interesting with a bit of polish.

Some things that I missed:

- Ingame instructions
- The packages direction added to the interface so I don't have to stop to check them again, or at least, a way to rotate them to see the direction easier
- Some logic to the addresses so I can plain the path.

Some things that I loved:
- The truck SFX xDD

It's a nice concept, with a lot of promise! I would love to see where this game could go if you continue to work on it! My only criticism as it is, is that the mouse sensitivity is a bit extreme.

I love the truck sound effects aha, and also how it handles - a spent a good while not even bothering with the parcels and just going about, drifting between the houses lol!

I was able to score 100+ points just by walking up to a door with the correct package and mashing lmb. Not sure if I was playing it right, but I had fun, lol.

This is a pretty cool game!

I think you did a cracking job.

I had fun driving around! :D

Overall a pretty fun game, but would have liked some way to keep track of my packages and/or to highlight the houses I need to deliver to, because it was a little bit hard to keep track of where I needed to go.

Similar to my game :smile:

Car controlls was floaty, but it was doing its job.
Maybe homes from the same states, should be close to each other, so it will be easier to find them.


Car sound was funny.

The visuals in this game possess a distinct and recognizable style, reflecting the developer's unique artistic vision

What a great little game!! The driving controls were quite difficult to get a handle on but I found myself having a really good time with the learning curve after a while of getting used to it!

To me, it could have used a touch more on the UI/feedback side of things. It's a little difficult to fully understand everything that's going on with your packages etc.

Otherwise, another awesome Ludum Dare entry! Keep up the great work!! :grin:

Fun game, but my memory is not the best so had to keep looking at the packages to see where to deliver them. :)
I really like the concept, but I think it could maybe be improved by putting houses with the same state name near each other (so it's not completely random). The car physics were a bit floaty and I ended up sliding all over the place, but I still had fun! I also appreciate being able to rotate the boxes, that was a nice touch. Good job!

Fun delivery game! Good luck with the last one rating.

I actually think this is a cool idea, but the size of the map kind of turned it into a walking simulator which I'm not a fan of. I must say it was pretty fun though, things like the fact that you had to turn the packages around to see the adress were very enjoyable.

Take note that there's a glitch where you can spam to pick up and drop the package at the target address again and again to rack up an infinite number of points.

@jandourek Thanks for the feedback and advice!


@notablenine Due to no instructions in game you may have missed that you can click E when near the truck to enter it and drive!


@mushgunax Haha yes, I actually noticed that just a few moments after time ran out, but never had time to do a follow up build


Thank you all for help us get over the 20 ratings mark in the last stretch!
