A real tight platformer that moves fast but matches well with the aesthetic-and thanks to the coyote time you mentioned adding later on doesn't feel punishing, wrapped in a kind of light metroidvania package too but in a simple engaging fashion. Brings the theme together well.

- My favorite part was the progression of feeling more free as you dropped off each package with your movement-but it didn't start at a bad place to achieve that, it just got nicer, and gave a bit of a natural difficulty curve to it all too.
I really like the idea that this character needs to work out how to deliver the letters each day so they can actually get to everyone in the area.
I didn't manage to get too far in the hard mode because of my lack of platforming skills, but had a lot of fun completing the regular game and got a laugh out of the finish screen, gave a real nice cap to the play session with it.
I appreciate that death just sent you back to the start and you didn't lose the mail you'd delivered.
The sound/music compliment the art real well and it's nice to look at.

- There could have been more impact visually when delivering a mail so it was more satisfying and recognizable that you'd achieved something.

thanks for aaaaaaaall of this feedback dood! yea i could have added maybe some particles to the dropping of the packages but i dont know how to do that yet in godot

Submitted(+1)

No worries at all :) !
Well whenever you plan to start learning particles you'll have the perfect project to test it in first :D . If you're playing with particles you could also add a bit of dust when you land, where there's more at the start and less at the end as an extra nod to you being lighter, though not necessary for the core experience.

This so simple yet elegant and wonderfully executed! The only quarrel I have is I didn't like how your jump height changed depending on how fast you were moving, but otherwise splendid work!

Developer

ty! but........ its the other way... i made it so its less packages is more jump height and then i added that you get faster when you drop them because people said that the player felt slow so you're just critisizing the main mechanic of the game xD

Submitted(+1)

I definitely like how you move faster and jump higher when you lose packages. It's a wonderful game mechanic! Just there seems to be a tiny difference in jump height depending on if you're jumping from a standstill or not, but it's a honestly a really small thing.

Developer

oh yea xD thats a bug i dont know how to fix

this is a very nice game but it would be better if it had more levels

Developer

ty! yea everybody asks for new levels but it just takes soooo long to make

Submitted(+1)

Wow, very fun game! Aside from being on theme, your level design is spot on with the game's mechanics. Being able to access new areas is such a hard thing to pull off in a fun way, but you did it! Only thing I would recommend is alerting the player when a package is dropped. I noticed it pretty quick, but got a little stuck when dropping off my first package. I didn't realize anything happened. Overall, very well done!

Would appreciate it if you check out my game!

i really like the level design but i think the jumping feels weird, you fall too fast

Developer

yea first time creating a platformer

Submitted(+1)

Good game. One of the few games that I managed finish. I like that when you jump higher, you also feel more incapable of platforming so good. So the level is harder and harder.

It reminds me a little of metroidvania, therefore I like it.

Developer

ty! glad u liked it!
