Very nice game, found the box's inertia a little frustrating while trying to carry it on my head, but still enjoyed this one. Well done!

Use your head LITERALLY. Not Bad game, pretty funny.

Fun, simple game that works. The box slides frustrated me but once I got used to it, it played well!

Neat little puzzle platformer. The levels where you had to keep the box on your head and jump over the gaps were cool.

At first I was like, ok, a little platformer. Low expectations. Then it just kept getting harder and better. I almost gave up at "use your head". Then 3X as hard?! Then this pizza and basketball show up!! When I got to the Piano, I totally Laurel and Hardy's that thing (rolling down more than a couple times!) The one with dozens of boxes was hard, and then I wasn't sure that "box jump" was even possible Spoiler alert: I spam-clicked it. But "great crossing" -- why would you do that to me? Apparently that was the end, because I never came out of that door? Had to take a screenshot to prove it. :laughing:

Bravo!

Both our games are about quick-fingered physics - yours is definitely harder, but mine scores on time, so maybe we're even. ;) LMK how you like it: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53/fedup

@jward Thanks for your feedback. Regarding the last level, it's intended to take you to a "congratulations" screen, but there was a bug in the build preventing that from happening :P

Quite a fun game, I enjoyed that I am pushing many different types of deliverables into mailboxes

Nice game, gradually mastering the skills of keeping boxes on head is inspiring!

haha nice Idea, puzzles are a good genre for gamejams since as soon as you set up the mechanics you can come up with levels and make a game out of that

Loved using my head! Very cute little game with interesting mechanics. Even midi sounds nice).

Fun! I couldn't beat the whole thing unfortunately but got stuck eventually. The first two trampoline levels were hard but eventually I got them. Pizza one tho… Wish it was easier to get it going diagonally. Music was fine and graphics conveyed what they needed altho the clouds felt a bit busy. The walking sound seemed to pop a bit? Thought it was decent but needs some polish and game feel C:

That was surprisingly fun! Based on the first few levels and the art style I assumed that it was going to be a simple game, but you really went all out with all these different type of levels. Really cool!

I've always loved physics platformers, so this was a nice treat! I had to give up on the pizza level, getting it to actually move so that I could keep up with it was too hard for me. I wish I had a better sense of the player collider and how far to either side the pizza can go on your head before it slips off. Overall, I had fun! The introduction of new mechanics was done at a very nice pace.
