I didn't know how to make this MMO sorry
good job
I don't have much criticism aside from the game play being very simple. The game is fun and addictive. Well done :)
The only thing I'd improve would be the sort order of the papers you just threw up in the air. I found myself grabbing the upwards moving papers several times instead of the downwards moving one, making me lose a life. I would've liked it to focus the grab on the one closest to falling off the screen!
This is a great entry. Well done :smile:
I really like the "push your luck" sort of mechanic, where you get more points the more envelopes you're juggling, but there's also a bigger chance of crashing. The controls were smooth and the gameplay was really intuitive.
I also like the 2D/3D blend, especially with the exaggerated curve of the earth with the houses and mailboxes slowly emerging from the horizon. The graphics are pretty simple but you did a good job making the menus, UI, and gameplay visuals all cohesive.
I added your delivery person to the pixel art fan art collage on my profile (complete with cat ears).
Thanks again for playing my game on stream, and good luck during the rest of play and rate!
Congratulations!
Really great game. Got a high score of 5927 on me laptop.
Nice entry!

Apparently I beat Pomo, which is a successful feat in its own right!

The title menu settings are also easy to understand, and overall, I like how the high level of quality is apparent throughout the game :)
