Packages by Tod Semple

[raw]
made by Tod Semple for Ludum Dare 53 (EXTRA)

Let's deliver some packages!

Use a keyboard or joystick to control your delivery van. (You might have to click once with a mouse to give the joystick the focus).

I worked on this game with my 2 kids (7 and 9). They did most of the art, design and voice acting. Kids are amazing! They come up with the craziest stuff.

The gameplay is very simple. It's like a PBS kids game. So pretend you are 5 years old when you are playing. :)

Most of the audio is original, except the music. So don't rate me on the music.

I love the Extra format! It's the only way I can make a game with all the stuff in my life. I put in about 22 hours on this game over 2 weeks.

Update: v1.1 fixed the keyboard focus. Pro-tip: The Ludum Dare embed needs a canvas.focus().

Nice work, could you update the description with game controls? :D it took me a while to figure out that I have to press E near buildings.

This was pretty fun, but it could've used a timer to make it more challenging.

Nice! Love the art! Very cool to see kid's artwork in a game like this. And the VO lines are great as well! As stated by others, my only desire is the keyboard controls in the description—I had to go to the comments to figure out that "E" is the package grab / drop-off button!

The art, combined with the VO really makes this for me. It is incredibly wholesome and I am absolutely here for it! :thumbsup:

brilliant, very cozy and loved the voice acting. Add optimization depth so people can do more with the vehicle upgrades, borrow to purchase more upgrades or vehicles, optimize routes, hire and delegate employees, build a whole postal fleet and add some side stories. Courier Tycoon!
