Ranked from 16 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
The game starts off where you play as a mailman going through levels. At the supposed "end" you die and switch characters and go through the previous levels in reverse (and are slightly changed).

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
The code is written from scratch. A small percentage of assets were not from scratch such as the backgrounds and a couple of sounds. Most of the art and all of the music is from scratch.

Super Meat Boy meets Dangerous Dave!

Awesome game! I've played for about 1:30 hour. Died HUNDREDS of times with the saws of the 3rd level. Reach the Wizard, (SPOILER ALERT, DON'T READ FROM HERE IF YOU DIDN'T PLAY IT!!!)...

...came back to retake the throne, and managed to reach the ... "final?" boss... (the big cloud)

But i was playing the WebGL version.. and here is my complain....

A WebGL game shouldn't have CONTROL for shooting when your player move to the Left with A... cause I was contantly "Selecting all" with CONTROL + A.
Also during the boss fight, between Shift + Control + A + D + nervous, I call several times the AddOn page from the browser lol... and finally, after almost defeating the boss... I accidentally press CONTROL + W.... and close the page... loosing all the progress :(

Unluckily I don't have time to replay from the beginning now. I'll love to finish it. Love the difficult games (check my steam profile)

I'll try to replay tomorrow if I can. I had a lot of fun!

Great work!!!

Congratulations!

Thanks for the comment! Haha I didn't even realize you could shoot with control. Left mouse works too :)

Sorry for the frustrations you encountered. I'm glad you had fun and appreciate the response!

This game is hilarious! I almost felt like I was playing Dangerous Dave. Nice touch with the dialog when you die.

Love the puns! Impressed that you managed all the artwork and music in a week. Could do with tweeking the player movement (seems a bit sluggish when not dashing) and the camera view is maybe a little too wide

Developer

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback.

RIP Alex

I liked all the humor in the game, and it was quite the challenge. I loved the cloud face, but that was a very tough fight. At least the kingdom is now mine >:)

Fun platformer! I liked the sense of humor in the text that shows up when you die. And the concept of going through in reverse as a different character is really cool.

Cute game. I keep dying from a fall that is smaller than my jump height :(.

Was there a spear trap? I didnt see it at first too

When leaving the king and going up and over. On the way down, hitting the bottom. Was there a spear trap at the bottom of the floor? I didn't see it if it is there.

thats the one! the camera was zoomed pretty far out for me so it was hard to notice

Developer

The spikes could be more visible. It usually gets everyone on the first go around. That background is probably too dark ;)

Neat game.  I like the visuals and the puns are amazing when you die.  My feedback would be the controls feel a bit unresponsive.  The jump feels very heavy if that makes sense.   Also the camera parallax vertically was a bit off putting for me.   Possibly adding the ability to move the text forward in the cut scene would have been a nice addition.  Overall, very nice job and good take on the theme!

Developer

Thanks for playing! We appreciate the feedback.

I like the idea and the walking anim lol, you put a lot of work in it and thats visible, great done. The only thing I would change is the jumping physic, thats kind of weird, but I got used to. Another thing I would add is Camerashake. Great work!
