> Free at last from the mind control of your alien overlords, you discover there is a whole galaxy of wonders out there.
You decide to carve your own place in it the only way you know – by being... *🎺🎺🎺 TAM🎜 TAM🎝 TAAM🎜 🎺🎺🎺*... a DELIVERY BOY 👍. But this time, it’s on your own terms.
> When we saw the theme of this jam, we decided to tie this game somehow to our LD47 game Delivery Boy Forever. And so Delivery Boy Express, even though it's a very different game, is a continuation of Delivery Boy's story.
:exclamation: We didn't have time for an in-game tutorial, so please read the short "How to play" section below.
Delivery Boy Express is a fully physics-based action game set in 🪐 THE OUTER SPACE. It includes an interesting and magical system of traveling between planets on your trusty rocket bike.
- Pick up unusual packages from clients, deliver them to proper recipients. Finish 8 quests to win.
- Compass 🧭 will help you find the way to your next destination. Make sure to use it.
- You have no weapons, use your brains and creativity instead :smirk:. Enemies can be avoided or even killed in inventive ways.
- Wheels are not only for riding – they can shield you from harm and help deal with threats.
- Play session remembers your progress after finishing each quest.
> Insurance doesn't cover backflips, frontflips, flashy zombie decapitations, hitchhiking on UFOs and approaching ground neck-first.
You will receive quests automatically - clients will call you on the comms. After you do, use the compass (⌨️ S / 🎮 Y) to find your way to your next destination. When you land on the proper planet, interact (⌨️ F / 🎮 A) with the site and pickup the package. Use compass again to find your client's location and drop-off the cargo. You will get a celebratory "Delivery Complete" message when the quest is done.
And last but not least - *learn to roll ↶ ↷, or die a lot and then learn to roll :shrug:*.
:exclamation: If you find controls too hard to master, you can try POST-JAM version.
