Postman
a game about sorting boxes

Sometimes I had some audio bugs, where it suddenly became silent and loud again or the sfx was cracking. Also at some points you aren't allowed to jump even though it feels / looks like you are perfectly on a platform. Overall really well done!
Great stuff. Really fun time playing it :) The biggest, potentially low cost improvement post-LD I can think of would be showing some approximation of the throw trajectory. I was hitting ceilings a lot! Without it is fine, just takes time to get used to the height. Really enjoyed this!
The controls were for some reason very unresponsive for me. My W got registered only about 70% of the time. And picking up boxes was quite annoying too - why can't I pick up a box that I am standing on, but I can pick up a box that is on the other side of the screen?
The throwing mechanic is really nice, feels satisfying scoring throws in 1 go.
Not sure if it was my browser, the double jump felt a bit inconsistent and took away from the fun a bit.
Over all a great entry.
Here is my playtest:
Art is also really well executed. Well done!
- Firefox: audio pops high pitch when scoring a box through its correct path..
- Edge: loud audio clipping ' '
- Chrome: volume 'ducks' for a bit (soft-clipping)
