It's time to deliver some spooky letters to the ghosts in the neighborhood.
They've been waiting for a long time to hear from their friends and family. Avoid obstacles and angry ghost doggies to make sure they get the right letters.
CONTROLS
Use WASD to move around, left mouse button allows you to throw the letters, right mouse button allows you to change the type of letter you're sending!
I love this art style. Its got a very squishy/soft look to it. I did find the controls to be a little difficult to get the hang of but after a minute or two of playing I started to get used to it. Your music is great and very "Ghosty" if that is a thing music can be. I will say I found your UI to be both good and a little bad. Its good in the sense that it looks really good the bad part is that when I open both the instructions and the credits the button to close those menus is completely off screen until I put the game in full screen which is fairly easy to miss. TL;DR You made a fun game to play with good art, and good music give yourselves a pat on the pack from me to you.
I played the game for a little while, and overall, it's alright. The music and art are superb, and the game runs without issues for me (had to use full screen to see the HUD, but that's not a big deal).
Overall, my biggest gripe with the game is that things move too slowly. I was sat for a long time just trying to avoid obstacles, without using the mail shooting mechanics at all. Increasing the frequency of mail delivery would go a long way in my opinion.
My other problem is the lack of feedback from interactions you have in game. It isn't clear how to get points, and there should be a better indication for losing a letter (maybe an animation on the counter, or a having the player flash).
Great art my only problem is the movement. It's kinda hard to control the character which makes it difficult to avoid the obstacle (but maybe that's your intention).
The music and art is astounding! Very nice. Also I think it's cool that there is a credits screen :)
At first I wasn't aware that I could switch mail by right clicking because I didn't read how to play, but once I figured it out I was on my way. I wasn't aware that my mail was being stolen, so maybe some extra feedback can go a long way here. Also I think it would be more interesting if the mail deliveries could happen more often, as I find myself navigating through the obstacles more than I am delivering mail. But really fun game. I adore the music :3
Really fitting soundtrack and the game looks pretty good. I did have some annoyances with controls, as I didn't manage to figure out why sometimes the ghost stopped at 90 degrees and I had to press the opposite key to keep turning. Maybe it's intentional.
Also, the speedup of the ghost was slightly annoying, as I would just bop the bottom of the screen and start from zero and then speed up to faster than autoscroll again and so on. Maybe having it so that when you exceeed a certain speed the screen also speeds up would solve this, but I'm not sure.
So cute ! I love the postman and little ghosts waiting for the mail. The idea of the game is original. The art and the music are awesome. I love to play this games :)
This looks so cute! I loved playing it and got addicted at some point hahah a round of applause to the graphics and sounds, they are really suiting the game! Also the movement is smooth but when you touch the walls or other obstacles its a bit difficult to "ungrab" them. Congrats to the devs, amazing game overall.
The art is incredible, but it has details that frustrated me, like how to enter the how to play panel, there is no way to return to the menu and sometimes at the beginning the first fastamas you receive will receive the letter, sometimes it is a letter. q I haven't gotten it yet, so they can't increase the time or points bar for not delivering the letter to him
The mechanic is interesting and whenever I was able to deliver a letter it was a lot of fun, but the pace was a bit too slow for me, I want to deliver more letters instead of dodging obstacles!
Aside from that the controls felt great and I really liked the light-hearted music. I think it's a neat game, hope you keep working on it!
- game looks and sounds nice - interesting idea - whereas most games have no acceleration to the movement, this has too much. It feels like trying to sprint and change direction in molasses. - the ghost moves like it wants to use tank controls (left turns left, right turns right, up is reverse in this case, down is forward), but the buttons work like normal directional keys which ends up kind of confusing. probably just make the ghost turn to the pressed direction a bit faster (maybe just turn the sprite to indicate what direction it is "moving")

Overall, nice submission :)
My high score was 1404.
