Cradle Courier: Stork 17 by mushgunAX



Play as a Stork Deliveryman as he shoots his way through a criminal organisation invading the White Birdhouse with his akimbo pistols while trying to deliver the President's Baby to him.
Controls:
[LMB] / [RMB]: Shoot (You have two guns, [LMB] fires left, [RMB] fires right)
[A] / [D]: Move left and right
[R]: HOLD to reload. While reloading, you cannot move or shoot at all. Completing a reload only reloads the emptier pistol
[Space]: Jump or fly midair
You lose if you get hit just once, so be careful. Note you can only quit by pressing [ESC] when dead.
Tip: You can shoot at enemy bullets to cancel them out, use this to your advantage

P.S. Love how reload is o__o
In general, nice try! Keep up!
I like the character designs too. Sure it's programmer art but you make use of the limited art to create unique and funny characters.
I think the main pitful of the game is the movement and physics. The infinite jumping and lack of friction make the movement feel kind of unsatisfying and not very platformer like. Now part of this could be a stylistic choice due to the absurdity and satirical nature of the game itself. But it feels a little hard to control because of this.
But despite this I had fun playing it and it was very funny. So well done!
Missed "save points" along the way.
I was taken by surprise by the Very Crusty audio but I think that it, coupled with the graphics give it a really, really charming vibe. It's a very good kind of bad. The gunplay is simple but fun, I wish our stork hero could still move while reloading, even if a little slower.
