Parcel Pursuit

This game was really great and I enjoyed playing it, the only problems I ran into were I couldn't jump over the dogs or the scooters, when I pressed W it tried going over it but I still got hit. This also isn't a problem with the game but I had trouble focusing on the game because of the colorful background while constantly moving made my eyes hurt a little but that is just because my eyes are weak. Other than that I loved playing this game!

@congeesetador Thank you for playing! There's a tutorial at the beginning that is supposed to show you how to double-jump, which is how you get over the dogs and scooters. And guitar hero vision is a thing, it's not just you! After putting all that time into it, my eyes are still swimming a bit as well. 😅

Really liked the art and menu!

@bloodyaugust After replaying the game I now realize that me getting over the dog and scooter was just me being bad at the game, I wasn't timing my jumps so I would just crash right into them. I love that you have to time the jump to get over them!

This is one of the most complete games I've played so far. I really appreciate the tutorial. The visual aesthetic is quite pleasant. Thank you for your submission!

Wonderful submission, it's visually delightful and super fun!

The double jump precision confused me at first, but once I figured it out I enjoyed the challenge.

@congeesetador Glad you figured it out! Without that element, there's not much in the way of challenge for this one. 😅

@benjamin-gearig @clarkdjent Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the visuals, my partner is quite talented. 😊

@cobear25 We tried to convey the right timing with the tutorial section, but yeah, it's a little deceptive. I think it comes down to the tweening/easing slowing down so hard near the apex, but other styles left the jump feeling extra float-y. I'll be the first to admit I don't really know how this is done in other games of the style: this is one of my few complete "platformer" entries. 😅

Awesome graphics! The musics fits and the tutorial is good. Only negative point is that the game has no ending.

Wowo! This game looks stunning! Amazing art style!
I wasn't able to duck under the mail boxes and I found jumping over the scooters really difficult!
I love the fact the van comes to get you when you game over. The houses in the background look so well-drawn and so adorable. An amazing entry, not gonna lie!

@weirdbitgames Thank you for the kind words! :D You're actually delivering a package to the mailbox, not ducking under it. Packages delivered is your score. 😉

@bloodyaugust ahhh I misunderstood!

Awesome graphics. I loved the colorful nature of everything and the personality in the art. The double jump could feel a bit unresponsive at times and I felt like I needed to mash the jump and the delivery key to make sure I wouldn't miss the timing. The delivery key being 's' made it feel like I was supposed to be ducking, so I was a bit confused when he didn't. It clicked once I was able to deliver a few packages. Good job!

@cody-holt You're not the only person to mention either of those... I think maybe our tutorial could have been a bit clearer. 😅 But I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing! 🎉

Super gorgeous! The menu being the mail truck was so charming!

Great job on the game! Everything is so cohesive and looks really nice together. The UI is fantastic, and the transitions between the main menu, game over, and game are spot on. The only problem I had was with the double jump. It was very annoying to get the timing of it and it led to me getting hit quite a few times when I felt I shouldn't. Other than that, amazing job!

Loooved the art. Gives me The Nanny´s intro feel. Game is fun and tutorial very ilustrative. I didnt´know how to retry. maybe it was just me. Great job!

The game is GOURGEOUS. The drawings are incredible, congrats to the artists. The double jump controls and the hitboxes are a bit wonky at times, but that didn't mess with the experience too much. Great job guys!

Sooo cute ❤ Loved the hand drawn style.. Good job :)

Apart from what some of the other commenters already said about the double jump timing I had fun and I really liked the art-style! The thing I like the most though does not even have something to do with the game but with the menu - it feels really nice how the game transitions back and forth between intro, menu and game with the car driving!

Absolutely gorgeous to look at, a genuine treat. Sometines a bit hard to tell where hitboxes/colliders are, but other than that, a fun little game!

YOU GOT ME WHEN VAN JUST STOPPED WHEN I PRESSED PLAY IN MENU. Is it your original idea or you got inspired by someting? I love simple games when you can challange friends to get higher score. LOVE THE GRAPHICS and MUSIC. The only thing is that difficulty level was not growing after some time and you could feel it. Great, solid entry congrats to you!

Wow, that menu is a truly an inspiration. I love the connection between game over and play again, it gives me feeling of continuity and coherence in this game

Beautiful art direction!!! Fun to play and extremely appealing! Sometimes the keys were unresponsive, but I'm not sure if that was my keyboard or if it was buggy. Still, enjoyed playing it though! Great submission!

I absolutely loved the art and style of the game. The transition from the main menu to the game itself and then back to main menu was wonderful, I will have to keep that type of transition in mind for future projects! I must have played 10 times just because of the transition! I do agree that the double jump did give me some difficulty, but learned that if I just hit the "w" key like 3-4 times I could get it to work. The art is some of the best I have seen so far! Congrats to you both!

That was charming. Not sure I fully understood the timing of the double-jump, it often wouldn't do the jump, I ended up button-mashing to get the double jump to kick in. Enjoyed it but I'd mess up too many double jumps to get far

super fun! The graphics look really nice, and the truck serving as the title screen is very cute. I didn't see the double-jump at first though and I thought it was impossible to get over the dogs and scooters

The art is gorgeous!! I also had a hard time with the jump. 😝

The game looks great and the sounds fit well. I would have liked to see some more variety in the game regarding obstacles, increasing speed or changes in difficulty in general. After having delivered about 11 parcels, I got the feeling that "this was it". Having obstacles that would punish double jumps, needing to do some sliding, etc. would have given the game a lot more complexity and replayablity.

Gorgeous graphics and music, really clever 'start' menu. I also had a little trouble with the jumping.

I was attracted by the art and I wasn't disappointed ! The music is really nice and fits well with the cartoonish artstyle that remembers me Powerpuff Girls or Wacky Races !
The only thing is the controls ; I had sometimes the impression of I need to smash to button to active it.

Charming is a good word for this game, the art is really nice and the music and sound effect selection is good even if you didn't make those. I found timing the double jump really hard though, it seems like there's only a small window to press the W button a second time for it to work; too soon and it doesn't, and too late it doesn't either so that was a bit frustrating. I also really liked the start menu being the delivery truck, that's a fun idea.

Great art and soundtrack, sadly I could not double jump sometimes for unknown reason, that's why I keep loosing pretty early.

Super cute visuals! Gameplay is very basic and at times the double-jump felt a tad unresponsive, though. With some more polish this game could be quite engaging :)

The art, music and effects are great!!! After dieing once i finally understood the loop and did way better the second time. The only thing that tripped me up was the window for the double jump - it seems like there is a time window after you press jump once to be able hit the double jump and this kept tripping me up. In most games that have double jump as long as you are not grounded and havn't double jumped yet you can still do it. I think if you fixed this the game would be almost perfect.

Props for making the end game screen seemlessly loop into the mainmenu and right back into gameplay. VERY NICE!

Super cute! Love the art style, especially the scrolling backgrounds. Would have maybe liked to see more obstacles or interactions to amp up the gameplay a bit, but overall very cool!

The visuals in this game are aesthetically pleasing, with a consistent art style and imaginative world design that make it visually enchanting
