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

DESCRIPTION

The letter-sorting machine is out of order, and now it's up to you to sort the letters! This is a very small game where you must sort each letter according to its destination in France, which is indicated by its postal code.

You will only need the arrow keys to send letters to the right or to the left. (and escape to pause the game)

CONTROLS

Right/Left arrows or Q/D to send the letters to the right to or to the left.

I really loved this game! This was so much fun, I had to keep playing until I perfected everything. I enjoyed this a lot. I wish there was like an endless mode. I could keep doing that forever, haha

I had a lot of fun playing this game and really enjoyed the graphics, animations, and overall atmosphere. The only issue I encountered was with the scaling of the UI in the main menu.

An interesting mechanic, giving the player the experience of actually sorting mail.

Congrats on your first jam! I like the concept, but sadly I'm not familiar with France's town name and postal code... But hey, I can play while googling it right? Interesting experience you got here hahaha

Amazing as your first jam! I do get the feeling as if I was sorting some real mails! I do have some suggestions to make: the idea of choosing multiple handwriting fonts is brilliant, however, when it comes to UI interface, handwriting is not very readable, especially in the tutorial level, that very first tutorial info needs to be more clear and easier to understand. Overall, love this game!

Quite the interesting spin, I found myself playing until I got the levels perfected. Good execution of simple mechanics and very nice visual presentation - good work.

Interesting idea, it would make a great indie game if it was refined

Awesome game! Quite interesting idea and unique, but I think you could replace timer something else or set more UI, caz mostly it doesnt fell, that you missing time as for me

Quite a nice mini game. It's not much but everything is pretty polished.

I think there is some potential for more advanced mechanics. For example you could be required to sort out letters without stamps or mail going to different countries.

Fun game, great for practicing reflex speed, made good use of the theme. I liked the aesthetics of the letters, with each letter having a different font for example. Advanced mechanics to make the player's objective even more challenging would be a great addition to the game. Overall, a good game, congratulations!

Very fun game. A great idea and great execution. Matching the music to the game speed was an excellent decision that really added to the mood and rushed feel. Had to work the last level a bunch of times until I got it down perfectly, but I never felt irritated by the repetition. Well done!

Really well done. Always nice to see a really simple mechanic become a fun experience. Loved the music pace that changes. Aesthetic of the letter is pretty, it would be nice if the menu matched it a little more

:envelope:This is a really fun simulation game that can help improve people's observational skills and reaction time. The overwhelming amount of mail did make my head spin a bit, but it's also part of the game's charm. Overall, this is a fantastic game and I appreciate all the hard work put in by the development team!

What a cute and lovely game! The bossa nova background music made the entire experience chill and sweet. (I would also love an endless mode!)

Yay, a fellow french game about a french postman sorting french letters \o/ You should check out ours too ;)

It's a bit low on the gameplay side (even if it ramps up for regions), but everything is well made and polished. The only two minor bugs I encountered were the placement of the menu elements when playing on a 21/9 screen and the "next" button on the last level being displayed but not working (for obvious reasons that I discovered when returning to the title screen.

Congratulations from Lyon (and Lern Island, Brittany)!

Very cool! Each level felt right and I liked how well they were balanced. The only thing I wish is that there was a bit of time in the beginning to read the numbers you were supposed to sort.
Great job!!

Such a simple concept, but surprisingly enjoyable! In the first few levels I was like "this is easy", but then there were suddenly a lot of numbers to check or remember and it got quite challenging.
I really love games like this, that have a very easy to grasp mechanic and put it into a nice and well-rounded package that also fits the theme so well, great job overall!

Simple concept but very well done. I found some issues with the jam version where I couldn't move to the next level. I had to replay the previous level.
