Save the Mail! by MtWhateverest

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

Uh oh, the road has collapsed. Can you throw the packages to the other side? Never mind if they get a little broken, they must be delivered!


I didn't start making this game until the last day of the jam, so it is of course short and with some bugs ;)


Controls:

Mouse to aim Hold the left mouse button to increase power and release to throw the box.

Short and sweet, really enjoyed it. Cool graphics, nice concept with the truck moving along as the cliff crumbles away. Great work!

I liked it, you could also do several level, with obstacles or thinges like that. What could be good is to have bigger box to be heavier, and more affected by gravity. I felt like I could just throw everything full power and straightforward.
17box/20 :D

Great entry. This is a very fast mini-game. It takes a couple of throws to get the hang of it, but after that you get right into the flow. I only missed two or three shots. And the increase in difficulty was perfect for me. I really liked that. The only thing is that the game just stops after the last box. I got the last box to the other side, but not into the truck, and that was it. No end screen, no score, no "play again". I think there should have been something.

Funny graphics and gameplay also challenging as well. Btw i dont think the game correctly counting missed boxes ;)

Cool game, simple and fun. Nice graphics as well! A little short though. Would love to see some obstacles as well.

Nice mini game. The crumbling is welcomed to break repetitivity. Need perhaps some other challenge that only distance. Nice job.

Based on what others have said, there may be some bugs with the counting of boxes but the general premise and scope are perfect for a jam game. Additional challenges and a bit of polish would go a long way, but it's a simple and fun entry. Good work!

I like the 3d art style and the idea of this game, but I feel like the gameplay is not really skill based but more about trial and error which is hard to make interesting, still you did a great job designing the game!

This reminds me of the old visual basic gorilla game where you had to throw bananas! It was cool.

Fun game! But I always like to throw things, haha.
It is pretty easy to hit the target, maybe it could be a bit harder the further you get.

Short. Easy to play through hard to master.

I had a lot of fun playing this. I played it 2x already and I want to come back and try again. It is super satisfying to knock packages on the ground into the truck. Wasn't quite sure if that counts but I had fun. Really launching the little packages at full force into other packages.

The game mechanics are simple as others have said but also something that makes me want to come back and play more. Good job!

I got 18 packages on my 2nd playthrough.

Looks pretty good! I really liked all the sound effects for breaking packages lol. Aiming was a little odd with the cursor hidden, but I was able to get the hang of it
