Pretty fun! Managed a high-score of 368, although by that point I was moving too fast to be able to hit any of the mailboxes 😂

Really like the upgrades idea. I kept picking the shield.

I like the sound when you deliver to a mailbox. Wasn't clear how to aim the packages. I guess it aims up when you are at the top of the road, then down near the bottom?

Wasn't clear how often I could shoot a letter. Should there be a visible cooldown?

I have never seen this genre as a roguelike. really fun and quite innovative :) Only issue is repetitive music and that often I accidentally picked a random upgrade because I was spamming mouse-button to throw mail.
Good job overall! :)

Good job! The upgrades make the playthrough increasingly more enjoyable to play.

Really nice feel when you can spam the letters the further you go in the game.
As mentioned before, it leads to missclicking on upgrades as I was spamming the mouse-button.
Music loop is a bit too short
Nice entry !

Fun game. At first it was hard to hit anything, but then the upgrades came.

very enjoyable game, I like the upgrade system. My score went down everytime I threw mail, I don't know if thats on purpose or not.

Playing the game was fun. I had to play a few times to improve on my aiming and the evading of the other cars. I also like the upgrade idea. Nice entry;-)

The upgrade system is appreciated, although I found it challenging to properly aim my throws sometimes

A simple and pretty fun little game idea. A bit difficult to hit the mail boxes, but I had a lot of fun trying to hit them. The upgrade system is fun, but many times I hit random upgrades, in a attempt to hit a mail box. But overall a pretty fun little jam game.

Well, I've been trying it out and at first it doesn't seem like much but then it's great! I got the trick of being behind everything and throwing the envelopes there, ha ha. Great but what a great entry! congrats!

This was pretty good! A funny take on the Vampire Survivors genre (or whatever the pick from set of upgrades genre is called). I like that you have the slow down and rockets. It really adds to the gameplay.
