Deliverz by Kongo

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

Y’all fancy making some money?

You know what they sayin: players gotta play. Well, damn boy you ain’t one … no play for you kiddo. Gotta earn those nickels. You just got into this town and no one will climb the ladder for you so take the bike and start delivering them donuts … or whatever they give you … just don’t get yourself into troubles….

The game is a Top down action adventure. You’re hustling your way to the top in the new city while being delivery boy. Sometimes there’s an adventure waiting for you behind the corner and sometimes you’ll be cruising around the city without goal.

So well polished, could not find any bugs. Love both the graphics and the music!
Character movement felt very natural, the gameplay was a little bit repetitive after a while. Amazing that you could make this is in so little time. Well done!

Very cute! That it's a bit unpredictable adds to its charm. Great art as well.

REALLY enjoyed this. I was a bit bad at the controls but this is one of the top games so far for me that have really held my attention. Graphics were great and the music was really funky. Great job!

My GTA2 nostalgia hits too much with this one. I really enjoyed the design and feel of the gameplay. The music, dialogues etc. are on point. Great entry guys!

Damn that was really nostalgic, I used to play the original GTA way back. Really captured that old feel with the art, city simulation and missions and even added some mayhem at the end.

the bike feeling is nice.
Can't figure how to end the game : I'm chased by the black car forever and I don't know how to end this.
* great environment, city
* gta2 feelings : differents factions having a fight and we are in the middle of it
* the danger is present everywhere because of the cars. I enjoyed the mission where the package is fragile and no crash is allowed.
* cars and walkers are well programmed, they behave perfectly to annoy you

Good game, congrats team!

Wouw, a lot of work and love has been put into this one. What a fun game, the world feels very open and well put together. Some feedback I've got:

The phone system feels very nice, although a hint for closing the map would have been nice. The music is a masterpiece, how did you make that?

Despite the game is super simple at its core the story rules it out! First 2 tasks were simple and standard delivery tasks. But when Sid entered came and the actual story began I couldn't stop playing. It was really interesting to know what the outcome will be! The story is mindful and it's individual parts are fantastic! Chinatown guys, guys at trailer park and fights with them are supper funny.

You managed to make such a cool story with only 2 mechanics! (package delivery and hits). This is just WOW!

I liked the music and the art style, plus the controls were easy. I had some issues closing the map at first :)

Also, strong GTA2 vibe, and I even found the mob! ![the_mob.png](///raw/814/a5/z/5b498.png)

Nice classic GTA vibes! I wish the pursuer would have respected obstacles, but I see how that would have been too much programming for the short time. Otherwise, great mood and pixelart, nice controls. The game filled me with nostalgy and I liked the characters.

Great groovy vibes, and nice GTAl ike ! The city seems alive. I had fun finishing the game!
The Final boss was a bit hard but i managed to bomb him !
Some minor bugs (pedestrians walking on the roofs in the northern district, and sometimes clumping together)
But overall a fun jam !

The quality and amount of assets you packed into this game is amazing. Really appreciated the GTA II feels, even if the setting is much brighter :D Loved the music and the menu-screen especially. Overall cool experience!

This game had more longevity than I expected! I got stuck with my phone up initially, which was frustrating, to be honest I would've much preferred a minimap instead, it's less interrupting.
The traffic was kind of nuts, I had a couple segments of being repeatedly run over, with some difficulty in recovering. The music eventually left me wanting a dedicated volume slider for it.

All that said, it's impressive how you recreated a slice of GTA in such a small time frame! Well done!
