I liked the visuals and the randomness of the mailboxes! I know the time was short, but maybe adding elements that allow players to earn more points, like some ramps, in the future versions.

Thanks! I was hoping people would notice the mailboxes! And yep, I absolutely ran out of time. Had a lot more plans that I had to cut even with the extension. On the points, I had added the mini skate park in there as an homage to the challenge course at the end of original PaperBoy levels, and my goal was to put in a separate points system for doing tricks/jumps, but ran out of time trying to balance the jump heights/air time, and had to kick that can back down the road. Also wanted to tie that into points for smacking the birds before they hit you.
After the judging is done and the projects open back up I plan to revisit and expand it quite a bit. I've already got a huge list of just fixes alone for what's in there now, on top of the features i couldn't get to. Though I'll probably have to come up with a new main character and game name, I'm not sure Epic would want me releasing an actual full game using Manny..
