Good News by Fnkee

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

48 hours fly by in no time! I didn't get to add as many clever obstacles as I had hoped for, but here it is - an endless paperboy runner in the same vein as Subway Surfers.

I hope there will come some good news your way 🗞️

I really like how you expand upon the endless runner genre by requiring you to be in certain positions at given times to get points

@rustywolf thanks!! The initial idea was that you'd lose if you missed a few houses - but that seemed punishing especially since a house could currently be blocked by an obstacle

This game is worth playing for the soundtrack alone. Made me feel happy just riding a bike down the street listening to the music. Well done!

Pretty good soundtrack and everything works well! I love the choppy animation style you went for, makes it feel unique! Getting a game over feels a little abrupt with the instant main menu, but still this is a very good submission! Keep up the good work!

Pretty fun gameplay! Slight graphics artifacting where (it looks like) the tiles are stitched together. Whole game is definitely a vibe, right down to the nice message on the main menu. :)

Like the look!
music is good but a bit too loud.
could use some audio feedback when the delivery works, and when it doesn't.
also having the trucks and the delivery arrows **red** is very confusing. Red means danger typically, so make the arrows green or yellow or ?

Loved the music! The game play is also solid. One feedback I have is that the arrows sometimes overlap with the cars making it impossible to deliver. But overall a solid entry.

@icch-howw how I wish I got to add some fly animations when you crash into those cars! :') Glad you love the soundtrack and choppy anims - Tysm for playing!

@emojibea Definitely could need some extra effort in stitching the tiles together better! Thanks for your kind words and appreciation for the menu message! ^> ^

@fruitflinger aah yes, good point - the color coding could be better, couldn't it? Will try to keep that in mind for my next jam. Thanks for your critique fruit, I'll make sure to include them for my next iteration of the game. Glad you enjoyed the look!

@papaya I definitely wish I spent more time working on the obstacles to ensure that they didn't get in the way of the houses :') Excellent feedback, happy to hear that you enjoyed the track!

Good game with a clean aesthetich and a really enjoyable music. The main mechanics work well as expected and I found here a good retro vide - something like in PaperBoy. Thank you for this entry which made my day. I wish you the best ++

Great soundtrack! Digging the aesthetics and gives it a good ol' quasi-retro vibe.

Fun music and art style, simple game yet fun. Would be nice to allow the player hit few times before losing though as it takes a while to build up until gets to a more fun and challenging speed. Good job!

the game is a nice variation on endless runner. knowing that you may skip some houses was beneficial because on my first run, i thought i had to go to every red house, but some of them were traps haha
i enjoyed the music, it'll stay in my ears for hours now!

Record was 24
