Instead of using the theme in a quote-unquote "creative" way, I decided to focus on making a simple game that combines the things I know I can do well, and fit it into the theme in the best way I can muster.

In Courier Panic!, you're a delivery driver on a basic shift. You'll start with a list of stops to make in your area, and you'll get a time limit to finish them. As you deliver things and get paid for them, pickup requests appear. Pick up parcels and add them to your run for more money, but pay attention to your time limit.

The theme comes into play in two ways. One, your truck's inventory is limited, and new pickups appear all the time, of varying distance and value. You'll have to plan out which ones to take and how many to deal with at once. Two, you lack space in the sense that you lack time to get to every delivery you want to make.

I like this idea as more than just a jam entry, so I may keep working on it after things are done. We'll see what happens, and if I even get to a finished state here...
