Welocme to Delivery Frenzy!

You are a delivery driver for (insert generic delivery company here).
As usual the higher ups expect you to be faster and faster at your jobs.
Chaos ensues!

Controls:

Change lanes with "w" and "s", move forwards and backwards with "a" and "d".
Press "space" to thow the packages.

Gameplay:

Your delivery van automatically moves left, as you pass houses you have the option to throw packages. Every package that hits a house is a point, which also increases your score. As time goes on your van will accelerate, thus hightening the difficulty of the game. If you crash into another vehicle, it's game over! Try to dodge the oncoming cars, but dont forget that packages thrown against cars on the upper lane will disappear!

Try to get as many packages delivered as you can whilst dodging all those pesky cars!

Compatability

The game should be runnable on all desktop devices as it is a JAR file, although I have not been able to test compatability with MacOS systems yet. Windows and Linux should work fine though. Linux compatability has been verified on Manjaro, and should therefore run on most (if not all) Linux distributions.

Sick game! Simple but great combination of "shooting" delivery and dodging cars!😋

Nice deliver 'em up. Seems like it can generate some impossible to navigate traffic combinations.

Cool game! The gameplay felt pretty unique and simple, though I would have liked a bit more advance notice for incoming cars

Cool and simple ! Too bad sometimes the cars are unavoidable :/

This game is awesome! The combination of shooting deliveries while dodging cars is surprisingly fun and challenging. I appreciate the simplicity of the gameplay, but the traffic combinations can make it really difficult at times. The unique mechanics of the game make it stand out, and it's easy to get into. Well done!

nice little game here. I did alright. Great to see another java game hurray! :D :D :D I loved how the houses are on some sort of rocket booster because they start really moving fast! Either that or we're on a treadmill.

Lots of fun and very re-playable. Graphics and sound effects were cool really arcade-y made me think of spy hunter for some reason.

Would have liked music but the purr of the engine filled the air nicely.

Ran it on Arch linux no problems (I use arch btw).

The game's concept is simple and the gameplay can be quite fun, although more leeway or advance warnings of oncoming cars would have made for longer games :) Nothing that a bit of balancing couldn't fix. I liked the pixel art graphics (would have maybe also liked to see some grass :smiley: )
