Urgent Delivery by Tom Cumpsty

[raw]
made by Tom Cumpsty for Ludum Dare 53 (COMPO)

NOTE: it is best to download the game rather than play the html version. The controls are laggy and the html version is nowhere near as fun. I have built a version for linux but it is untested, the windows version is working as it should for me. My first Godot.

A game where parcels are dropped and you must put them in the right van. Pregnant women are also dropped. You must deliver the babies and put them in the right van.

Click and drag a parcel or baby to see it's destination and load it on a van. You can only drag it as far as the second dotted line in either direction. The dotted lines that you can see on the screen at the start mark out the drop zone.

Click a pregnant woman to deliver her baby, if you don't deliver the baby fast enough the mother and baby will die and you will lose reputation. If you damage parcels or kill a baby you will also lose reputation. You gain reputation when a van leaves.

Right click and hold to drag the map when you aren't holding something.

Either side of the map are vans which you need to load. The destination of the van is shown on the screen in the loading zone highlighted in green. You can also see the next 2 destinations in order.

To score you need to fully load a van. If you run out of reputation, you lose.

The babies flailing about is because they are babies. It's definitely not a bug it's 100% feature.

Get ready for pure frustration.

This game is hilarious. The music is bangin. You get extra theme points for doubling up on the meaning.

You listed your itch.io page as source. Just thought I'd let you know in case that was by accident. Music was good (maybe a bit loud), but I really liked the concept and difficulty.

"Get ready for pure frustration." was an accurate statement! I was able to load a total of zero packages. I did get some laughs though from babies disassembling as I struggle to get them in a van.

Music was fine, had a lot of trouble though with it! But glad to see another Godot game!

I like the throwing mechanics. I think would have been better if I didn't have to pan around, makes it hard to see where you can throw from.

I did not understand a lot, the camera sometimes just got stuck I think. It is a cool idea though! I laughed at the random pregnant women dropping in!

The mechanics are really unique. Even though its simple I found it to be so much fun. I tried it a few times even though I didn't quite find a good technique of launching the "cargo".

Good job!

Nice music and theme interpretation! I had difficulty ever getting enough boxes in a truck to get any points at all -_-.

Your game is wild! The camera is wild. The controls are wild. Even the women and children are wild. I enjoyed it! And nice music.

(I played the web version, maybe that made it a bit more chaotic..)

I had no clue what was going on, but had fun anyway. Things just moved and characters were jumping around, it was very fun.

Very chaotic but enjoyed the combination of delivering both babies and packages
