Somebody has to deliver the packages.

You're a postman delivering a package through a horrific dungeon,
deeper and deeper dodging blazing firepits and getting impaled by spikes.

As a postman it's your responsibility to get the package delivered no matter what comes by,
no weather nor death may stop you fulfilling your duty as a postman.

- Gameplay

You dodge spikes and firepits in the hall by switching between lanes with "A" or "D",
you may encounter enemies. You click on either pound or punch to hit the enemy.
If you feel like not taking a risk you can also dodge.

- FIXES

Removed navigation UI. Now move between lanes with "A/D" Keys!
Fixed pathing bug where path would break on battle
Believe to have fixed bug with getting stuck in lanes
Fixed bug where lane choices would be delayed.

Enjoyed the game, really cool design, maybe add in a way to exit the game

For some reason the controls bugged a bit for me, making it sometimes impossible to turn.

cavedens28 Apr 2021, 18:20

A bit of unresponsive controls but overall the mood and visuals looked great. Good job!

@jitspoe Hey thanks, i pushed a fix for the bugged pathing and controls!

I played with A/D (after the fixes).
Took me a bit to understand what to do, it's basicly a endless runner where you switch lanes to dodge traps and such. Every now and then an enemy pops up that you need to defeat.
Even the game mechanism is super simple, the atmosphere of the game kept me on the edge of my chair dodging spikes, wondering what would be next. I managed to deliver the package to the Demon lord, so another happy customer!

@roidz Thanks for playing! glad you got the delivery done!

@northerndonut thanks for playing!

@cavedens yeah the controls were really broken outside of the engine.. i was able to rework and push out a fix for it so the game is actually playable :)

Love the feeling you get as a postman delivering the last package for his day down into the depths of hell. The atmosphere and the music are spot on. Love this game. A transition between lanes would really reduce the jitteryness. Great job!

@krassenstein Thanks! yeah could of definitely doen at least a lerp on the movement for sure!

Thanks for submitting! I hope my in-stream feedback was helpful!

Why did you not show me what was in the package?! WHY!!

I enjoyed meeting the Demon Lord, however! Be good if there was some ramp up of mechanics over time, as it felt like each layer was more of the same. (my game had the same problem!)

Has some cool graphics, and love the mood, the basic gameplay being on rails and similar to those old handheld lane change racing games was interesting, was way too slow to be any sort of challenge though. Didn't particularly like the combat, no real feedback to tell if you're doing the correct thing or not, seemed like pure random chance, IMHO the game would have been better without it.

Great idea -- nice twist on the theme! In addition to the other feedback, I think that adding some spooky/action background music would add a lot of value to your game. Keep it up!

Nice game!

michaelyount3 May 2021, 14:11

Good job here, nice work.

@pedrocoden thanks so much for playing!

Holtzzy223author3 May 2021, 17:26

@michaelyount thanks!

Holtzzy223author3 May 2021, 17:28

@ellipsis thanks for the input and thanks for playing! there is a bit of BGM but some variations and more sounds would be great

I liked the idea of the postman that have to deliver the package to the "Demon Lord" through his dungeon. The game and the mechanic are simple, the music and the darkness made the atmosphere. I would have liked faster staircase at the beginning of every level and a more "dungeon style" approach (maybe with corners, sideways, doors that opens and let you pass through). As I read on other comments I didn't liked much the combat... seemed a bit random. I never dodged one and just press "punch" as fast as I could.

Anyway well done with your submit :-)

@viperux thanks :)

Saw it on stream, then played the windows version. I really liked the ending, and the art was cool (especially the lemon peoples). The obstacles were pretty close to each other, but it was manageable !

Holtzzy223author3 May 2021, 21:11

@thegreenworm thanks for playing! @hittri is a great artist :)

Demon lord should pay pretty low rent for such place.
