Your parcel is out for Delivery

Heya, thanks for the kind words, I appreciate them a lot!

As for the idea of having two seperate phases, that was the plan from the beginning of the jam, though I wasn't too sure exactly how it was going to look until I implemented it, I knew I wanted to have both a "collection" and "delivery" section in the game. So I allocated the first day towards the collection phase, and the second towards the smaller delivery phase, and other stuff such as the music. Which luckily, mostly went according to plan

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the game, and thanks for the feedback!

Heya, thanks for the review!

Yeah, art has never exactly been a strong point of mine lmao. I need to start putting more practice into it so that I'll be able to make assets that at the very least don't detract from the experience lmao.

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the gameplay loop itself! It was fun splitting up the gameplay into two parts that I needed to make individually, almost felt like I was making two mini games which linked together

(Assuming you're referring to the music when saying the loop is a bit short). If so, then that's because it was something I completely procrastinated doing until last minute, which meant I needed to rush it in the end to make sure the game wasn't played in absolute silence. Next time I'd like to put more time into it to see if I can make a song longer than like a 10second loop haha

Balancing the time restrictions so that it was challenging yet still enjoyable was definitely difficult, so I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the challenge! Though yeah, with all of the random generation, it's pretty easy to have a run where it feels nearly impossible lmao.

Never been inside an amazon warehouse before, but I'd like to imagine it looks something like that - hopefully with a bit less of a chaotic layout though

Thanks for checking out my game!

Sounds like you'd make for the perfect Amazwon driver then lmao.

Been seeing a lot of feedback regarding the isometric controls, so that's something I'm definitely going to need to improve on going forward, but I'm glad you still enjoyed the game!

Thanks for the review

Heya, I'm super glad to hear you enjoyed the game!

Yeah, I wanted to try and keep a bit of a lighthearted funny theme when it came to designing this game (thus the sort of stanley parable themed banner), so I'm glad to hear you appreciate that

As for the isometric controls, they can definitely take a while to get used to for some people, but hopefully that is worth the payoff of having an isometric artstyle within the game

In regards to the parcels, in heinsight I definitely should've tried to make it more clear that you should deliver them in the right order - that's something I'll try to take into more consideration moving forward.

Thanks for the feedback!

Heya, thanks for the review!

I'm glad to hear all of the positive reception regarding the inclusion of 2 seperate gameplay phases, even if it ate up a lot of development time and was challenging to implement, it seems like it was a worthwhile decision.

As for the bug, I'm not entirely sure what caused that. I've tested the game pretty extensively, but not encountered the issue myself, so it might have just been a unique bug caused under certain conditions. I'll give it some more thought and see if I can figure out the cause

As for the frustration caused by the isometric controls, that's perfectly understandable. Though I'm a massive fan of isometric gameplay and such, I'm still not entirely sure the best way to implement it such that it feels natural and enjoyable to as many players as possible. I'll keep this in mind next time I create an isometric control layout and see if I can come up with better alternatives.

In regards to the wideness of the streets, I intentionally tried to keep them relatively narrow in order to ensure that it would be more challenging - but I can see how that may also be frustrating. I may not have perfectly struck the balance between finding a wideness that was both fun, fair, and challenging. I'm glad to hear that the controls for the car handled smoothly though!

Thanks for checking out my game!

Heya, thanks for the feedback!

As for the issue with colours being super similar, from my perspective when developing the game that was meant to add to the difficulty level, but I can see in heindsight how it may be frustrating, or even unfair at times - especially for players suffering with colourblindness. I'll be sure to take that moreso into consideration moving forward

I'm glad to hear that overall, the game still managed to feel enjoyable without getting too repetitive - which is why I included that switch between gameplay to begin with. Though it was hard to balance how much time the player should be given to keep it challenging yet fair, I'm happy to hear that it ended up being a positive addition to the game

Thanks for the kind words, and I appreciate the constructive criticism which I'll be sure to consider moving forward!

Glad to hear you enjoyed the game!

As for the confusion, maybe I could've done a better job explaining what exactly you're meant to be doing in either the game's description, or within the game itself.

The basic idea is just collecting the packages, then delivering them to their colour coordinated house, while making sure to do so in the order shown in the top left of the screen.

And yeah, at first I was unsure whether to go for a classic top down view, or an isometric view, for the first section of the game. By the seems of it, sticking with isometric was the better decision

Thanks for the feedback!
