Welcome, kitty-reaper! You have one night to deliver as many packages as you kittily can. But beware! With paws this cute, the amount of things you can carry is greatly limited, and you couldn't possibly throw out your trusty scythe or you pet firefly! Nightly delivery is a game where you try to fit as many things as possible into your inventory and deliver them to their recipients.

Almost everything you can see was drawn by Lapin using Clip Studio Paint 2.0

Frankey made it all work using Unity 2021.3.6f1 , sound nice with Bosca Ceoil and added sfx using sfxr

The gameplay and design was a collaborative effort between both of us.

Fits the theme great, loved the art and music as well. I think you could make the inventory items that the people want delivered a bit more obvious than they are now

Nice ! I really like the funny and innovative shapes compared to the classic object shapes in inventories.
GG :D

Well done for all the hand-drawn assets :o

Had fun playing I wish the npcs were a tad bit closer but it was fun.

This is excellent - the art is stellar, and it's a very polished game for a game jam. Great work!

Only suggestion would be to make it clear whether each person wants a delivery, or has another item for me to deliver. But maybe leaving it ambiguous was intentional.

- The art was definitely the highlight for me! I like how quirky the items are.
- The movement side of the game felt like it could've just been swapped out for a timer, since all it really represented in practice was holding a button down until you reach the destination. I'd suggest either swap the WSAD movement out for a simple timer (or have the player just zip to their destination, counting the time down accordingly), or have some movement challenges.
- Giving the player a reason to interact with the inventory tetris while you walk, somehow, would help make the game feel less like waiting a while between little bursts of inventory management between missions.
- I liked the mood & the player character is great! Would be interested to see how the character could help support the inventory tetris game mechanics, aside from having matching items.

Lovely stuff :)

This was very cute. I really enjoyed delivering as a cat. Also the designs of the items look very nice!

I think the game is real neat, love the idea of the inventory tetris stuff. I felt like the theme might have suffered a tad, never felt like I was strapped for space in the inventory. but I might be missing some mechanic or something. Lovely art also! Especially the item art, real nice! lovely entry have a good one!

Well done with the theme, the game was really challenging and overall - great puzzle! Also, cute cat :33

Aesthetically it is pleasant, the music is fitting and it controls well, but I personally have 2 problems:
-Everything is too far away, moving is straight forward, and yet it takes most of the time.
-Even if I know the direction of the delivery, I have no sense of distance (like a distance meter under the icon), which makes it really hard to make decisions like taking a bunch of requests or just delivering the one I have.

OMG. I absolutelly loved this game! The art, the mechanisms and the music make such a good atmosphere for the game!
Nice Job!

This game was a great fit for the theme. The art is really cute and alongside the music sets the perfect mood. I felt that things were a little too spread out in the game world and walking between the people was starting to become tedious. Other than that a brilliant game!
