Grav-O-Delivery

Your game is great, and quite original !
Music fits well with atmospheric space mood...

It's hard to master combined gravities but again : the idea is simple yet pretty cool ! Well done :)

It is fun but very challenging

Pretty hard but fun! The small satellites might be a bit too hard though :smile:

You know you've done something special whenever you've got a game a player can enjoy even while they're terrible at it.... 😉

I had loads of fun here; this one's a keeper. The mechanics are excellent and a lot of fun. With more levels and a leaderboard, I could see this becoming a successful mobile game.

One thing I did notice was that the delivery to a satellite will sometimes fail -- I think the game might have a particular satellite in mind -- I'm just not sure which one it is? Let me know if that's wrong, though.

EDIT: ohhh there's an arrow.

@frabjous-studios Yeah, the deliveries do work as expected, but you just need to pay attention to which satellite the delivery is supposed to go via the arrow since all of the satellites share the same graphic. :sweat_smile:

@thinkofname Just needs a few more playthroughs and they'll become quite predictable. :smile:

It is hard at the beginning but slowly you get used to it. Maybe you can implement a small extra hint-like waypoint for where the package lands.

@harami I did have a "ghost parcel" at one point that showed where and how the parcels would travel in real-time, but it made the game way too easy.

gameplay with some challenging, I like that, but I was misled when the target immediately changed when the delivery was released

Oh man I loved the vibe here. I was absolutely trash at it but never once felt frustrated, the music REALLY set the tone for my whole experience. It's the first LD53 game I've played so far that I've come away from thinking "man I would love a full game of this, I just wanna feel like this more"

Honestly my only critique is that I wish there was more, different layouts even. It just left me wanting more but still with a smile on my face.

5/5 on innovation here, love it!

This is similar to what I had originally planned for my game, but I ended up changing course almost entirely haha. I'm glad someone had the skill and follow-through to make it :)

Sending from the far left to the far right was hard (on my resolution) because I couldn't drag the bar long enough without it leaving the viewport.

Regardless, I had a lot of fun with it

Very meditative. I found myself just clicking replay and replay, chilling while aiming my mail rockets (I assume :)) into planets. The slight music supports this restful atmosphere well.

Graphics are very nice, and the planets have their own character. I enjoyed playing and in no time I got from pathetic 9% to a bit less pathetic 45% :grin: Great work!

Nice game! It's pretty hard but also satisfy when you hit one of the small targets from across several planets!

I really liked the game even if I was able to deliver only three packages max. I feel like the hitboxes could be a little bigger as a fex of my packages didn't make it only by a pixel.

But I liked how relaxing it was, and the planets look nice!

This was fun! It took a lot of practice to get past maybe 2-3 successess, lol. My first instinct was to complain about the difficultly, but as I kept trying I saw that it was more a game of skill, I really liked trying to master it. Also really relaxing! Great game!!

Fun idea! It is challenging to get right, but that makes it that you want to play it again a few times :)
I think it would make it a bit easier/more satisfying if you could get a few chances to get the order right. Now you get a new order immediately.

Neat game, was challenging, but my best result was 54%, pretty good if you ask me. Music fit the game and graphics were really nice. Well done

I'm not a rocket scientist but it was pretty fun, after multiple tries I only got 27% :( I enjoyed the simple but chill music as well!

I got 36% and felt pretty good about it. Quite a challenge! Especially difficult to reach the targets that didn't have a gravity well. Good submission!

Nice concept. Hard to achieve, but still fun to play with!

Genuinely really fun game, and the music and graphics gives a nice vibe. Only thing was that the planets were so close to the edge that sometimes i dragged outside of the viewport which pauses the game. I also managed to hit two satellites with one package, though it ended up counting it as wrong :(

Really creative approach to the jam! As someone pointed out, the hitboxes could be a little bigger. Maybe instead of showing the curved trajectory os the package, as you said it made the game to easy, it could have some indicator of how strong each planet pull is? like different layers of atmosphere with color getting more transparent as they go further from the center. Anyways, great job, really vibing

Got 27%! Very challenging but easy to understand, fun and simple. Well done on the art and graphics too!

Similar to fabula, I was able to go from 9% to 45%. The first time I was just constantly hitting satellites. I never really did get a good feel for that timing, but I did get a lot better at navigating the planets. I wish the planets/orbiting bodies were a bit smaller in the window, since I got some false clicks on the web version from exiting the bounds of the game, whoops! All in all, though, I fun, relaxing game, just like it was on the tin!

This is infuriating.

I love it.

I was only able to make two successful deliveries across two games. It is very difficult, but I do imagine once you have played it a bunch of times you get the hang of the trajectories packages can make across different gravities. If this game wasn't time-limited because of the jam, perhaps it would have been useful to start with a very simple setup (two planets), and then as the player gets more used to the simpler scenarios, throw more complicated setups (more planets, satellites, etc).

Having said all that, it's a very chill and relaxing experience. And it's so easy to just pick up and play a few times. The music was calming, and the visuals were very pretty. Great job on this game! There is potential here!

I found it very hard to figure out all of the different trajectories needed to deliver the packages to the right place, it was a really good idea to limit how many deliveries the player needs to make, as it kind of placed an upper limit on my frustration.
I'm very tired at the time of playing this though, so maybe I'm not giving it the patience it deserves.

With that said, solid work! The engine you used looks like a good alternative to Love2D, I'll have to try that out at some point...

Really fun and a great idea! Nice job! I played multiple times. I would've like to have multiple attempts at the same delivery just so I could dial it in a bit.
