What happens, when you put together a group of ten programmers, artists and gamedesigners for a Ludum Dare Jam? 3 mechanics, 3 artstyles and one game. This is the outcome of our really weird and hella fun experiment.
You're Jamie, a Raptor-Cyborg-Postman living the post-apokalypse in three acts. With "F" and "J" you navigate through his life. Firstly, you have to collect all the letters in the post office. But be careful, you can only move through magnets drawing you to them or pushing you off. Made it through? Perfect! Let's jump to Jamie's last tour before the post-apokalypse. Now you drive through the town, putting the mail into the right mailboxes. But be careful to collect enough food on the way, else you won't make it! With the end of this drive, you'll end up in the hospital. The accident was really bad, but as ambitious as our beloved protagonist is, he aims to leave the hospital without official release. You take control over his heartbeat and breathing and lead him through the hospital and into the city.
EDIT: For all the people that cannot get past the first game: PRESS A TO SKIP LEVEL.

I don't know what's going on but it's fun! I had a little trouble getting past the first level (not the tutorial, the one after), but after that it was pretty fun - good job guys!
What an experience! I have no idea how you made this in 72 hours. It was sometimes a bit hard to work out what I was meant to be doing in each chapter, but it was still damn impressive.
Velociraptor. Cyborg. Post apocalypse. Grawrl!! Liked a lot the idea, m kids had so much fun watching me play this one. Well polished graphics and good mechanics.
hahaha three games in one... really nice use of two buttons as well :) understanding each game was a little difficult but I figured it out in the end and died peacefully... well done!
It's an interesting concept and quite a lot of work done for that short time. Graphics are so detailed, I'm impressed, but the audio is just annoying after a while.
This is very beautifully done! Some of the minigames seems a bit obscure. E.g. I never really knew when to throw the letters exactly. Some more visual feedback would have been nice. Also, in the hospital one, it wasn't immediately clear to me when to press the heartbeat key. I found out through trial and error, but it would have been nice if a short explanation was given before the game. It's still an excellent game overall though! Very content rich and just plain beautiful!
Interesting concept, it was funny to play, though the games were difficult to understand, and the first one a bit hard. But graphics are well done, it has a lot of work besides it and the humor is great :D
