Aquaposting by KadenZombie8

[raw]
made by KadenZombie8 for Ludum Dare 53 (JAM)

Aquaposting is based on the mail jumpers of Lake Geneva. You play as a soloist mail jumper who has to deliver mail to the residents along a river without damaging your boat against obstacles. Use 3rd or 1st person in a 3D, randomly generated, environment to get the largest score.

You earn money by posting mail into peoples' mailboxes. You can then use this money to buy tape to repair damage done to your boat. You also have a bucket for draining your boat of any water.

Music is by me. :3 https://youtu.be/99pM3fAkW0c

I'm a little confused on how I was supposed to deliver to the houses. But I liked chilling with the nice music on the boat. Very good vibes!

You have to park the boat up so it runs along the side of the river and jump onto where the houses are. Then, you race back to the boat before it leaves you behind! :)

I liked this game, and I have to point out one thing, is that the first rocks take a long time to appear, that's a little tedious, think about fixing this if it's updated.

@alexsandro It's all random, but I am taking measures to make it less random so that things don't happen too often. You might have just gotten (un)lucky. Will tell you when it's updated. :)

@riley9 Thank you!!! You use the mouse wheel to switch to and from third person. :)

Enjoyed that boat ride! With a nice sound of water filling me boat. Made the ride even funnier!

This game is pretty cool! Unique concept and I think the idea of jumping out of your boat and getting your job done fast enough to hop back in to steer properly was quite fun! I liked the audio and it fit theme and art pretty well. Randomly generated obstacles are a nice touch too! Overall, very cool game!

Really enjoyable running along your boat delivering mail and fixing the ship while dodging rocks is really fun, also the music is a BANGER

Took me a few seconds to figure out how to make repairs, but otherwise a really cool game!
