YAY YAY no no YAY
We opted out of the theme because the ideas we had for the first few hours were just not that fun to play or design. So we pivoted to find a gameplay mechanic that felt fun and just built our own silliness instead.
Was not able to listen to any sounds on the html5 version.
@juhani-koskinen Thanks for playing glad you liked it.
@nullval Yeah, it's like the kobold version of Jackfrost or something. only with smashing boxes into houses.
@ramon-camata THEY ARE! Dragon only wants the best for their Kobold.
@gabexiii Glad you like it. Sorry we made a fun thing that will distract you from playing and rating other games!
Would have been cool if the packages had more of a connection to the house rather than just the arrow.
i.e. Triangle packages go to the triangle house, blue packages go to the blue house. Good stuff!
@acarc we originally were going to do something like that but then it was so hard to just hit any house that we opted to make it a bonus rather than a requirement. Oh I think you mean like art wise I could totally do that though would have to be after jam. (There are several other things I need to fix art wise as it is ha ha.) Thanks for playing our game.
@tentacledream We were thinking about it but we opted out of it for jam game because some people don't like if the jam game can be endless. (I'm like, sorry we made a fun game and you got stuck playing it.) We might add it in after the jam, Because it is rather hard right now. Thanks for playing.
@manskage Glad you like it, we were trying to match the art style of one of our older jam games because they take place in the same world. We opted out of the theme because we couldn't figure out how to make a fun game out of it and we thought that if there were going to be not fun games then the jam people would need something so that we avoid the corn field spam from the last ludum dare.
On the download button pop up, there is a grey text saying "No thanks, just take me to the downloads" We have it setup for optional donation. You don't need to pay if you play in the web browser with the Run Game button, and you can download for free using the "No thanks" link.
Let me know if this does not work for you. Thanks!
I was mildly distracted by the pile of boxes near me that looked exactly like my box and so I thought the thrown box would smash into them.
Think you could give a bit more lives to the player or make it so that you can somehow gain back lives if you manage to make deliveries.
NPCs popping out for a frame from the houses like on the title screen on "wrong house" would make it even more funny.
Good job!
@dan-str Thanks that is the plan hoping to have a sellable game by end of next year at the latest. (Fingers crossed.) Glad you liked it.
@lalordmikey Yup we have all had packages destroyed like this well maybe without the magic but same result.
