THEME - UNSTABLE - PAPER ROUTE


PATCH 1.4 - Fixed the game-breaking scene transition bug I think. For those interested, I was using a scene manager to transition between scenes, but I was lazily calling reload_current_scene() when the player restarted the game. This caused problems in the scene manager singleton I think. Yay!

What's more unstable than rigidbody physics?

Embark on your after-school paper route with your less-than-reliable newspaper trailer. Pick up the stock from Old Man McLudum and deliver them to all his customers.

Be careful not to lose any along the way - any newspapers that touch the ground are too dirty to deliver - you wouldn't want to tarnish the McLudum brand, would you?

Featuring 3 levels of increasing difficulty to navigate; backroads, suburbs, and the construction site.

* If you happen to crash, or just want to check out the levels without beating each one, you can press the 1, 2 and 3 keys to trigger each one!

CREDITS


All programming, design, sound and design by me, with a lovely helping hand from my girlfriend for much of the art.

This is my second game ever. I've probably got about 6 weeks' experience in Godot and gamedev, and I think that gamejams are the best way to learn!
