I loved your game, very nice mechanics!
Great little game! I think the speed could be faster, but otherwise very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing!
A fun little twist on Paperboy with simple but satisfying mechanics and a great funky soundtrack! :)
Thanks for playing. I should do more of those soundtracks.
Easy to understand and very creative ideas, with the cows, etc. I like that you have to pickup the newspaper and timing the throw is a small challenge.
Well done!
Perfect length for a jam game! Loved the SFX, great job!
Thanks for playing.
Fun little game! It took a little long to encounter the mailboxes, but other then that, it was a nice, simple game.
Love the animals, sound effects and easy mechanics. Was far too easy however.
Nice, might this be inspired by that one game called Paperboy? I like your take on it though, very fun and very excellent game, great job on it!
The gameplay & sound design were smooth & satisfying, managed to rack up a few thousand points :D once i realized i could just stay on the lawns, it became much less challenging - could be interesting if you had to stay on the road to force you to avoid the obstacles & throw from further away. Enjoyed this a lot though, thanks for creating it!
Yeah, things that crossed our minds. Thanks for checking it out
Playable fun. A bit jarring to see a mix of pixel art and higher res textures.
The placeholders "last stand".
Cool sounds effects, especially for the animals, visually its strange with different resolution stuff but I understand theres a time limit. I guess adding houses to the other side could add some variety. Overall its well executed!
Nice to play. i got some retro vibes from the old Game "Paperboy". It would be nice, if the player could get the game faster or it would be faster over time.
It's fun to play, but as others said the difficulty might be a little too easy.
I enjoyed the game very much. loved the different sounds
thanks. had fun making them
the sounds were a bit high , and it was a little easy, but fun game
Cute and funny! A little easy, but I enjoyed it! I like that you incorporated the movement speed into the projectile's trajectory
Thanks for noticing!
Ahh, paperboy! Very nostalgic gameplay. Nice take on the theme!
I love how the UI flips into place, great touch.
Animation is so much fun.
Cute, but the difficulty seemed a bit low. I like the paper stand idea!
yeah time ran out by the time I realized the game was running too slow. Will have to keep that in mind for next time!
The idea is fun, but the game speed is far too slow.
