Having to deliver packages while avoiding asteroids, space pirates and bombs sounds pretty chaotic to me!

Your concept is really cool and the game is so well made, it feels so polished! I'm quite amazed by your work, good job
Thank you so much!
This game is unbelievably well-polished for a game jam game made by one person. Sure, the obstacles could perhaps use some detail on their graphics, but the lack of it doesn't detract anything from the experience.
Thank you so much!
A well polished game with a consistent art style, would have been cool to have some arcade style music in the background. Good fun and challenging.
Thanks for the feedback!
This is really incredible, really great arcade game that feels polished and fun
Thank you for playing!
This could've become a classic arcade game if it came out at the right time. Amazing job at creating that feel. It's pretty satisfying to move the ship around too.
Thank you! I spent some time working on making the ship and the packages feel right, so I'm glad it paid off in the end.
Although a rather simple concept, I thoroughly enjoyed this. The pixel art and sfx were on point and the gameplay was also really enjoyable. I think a little background music would have been a nice touch, but still a wonderful game I could play for a good while. Well done!
Thank you for playing!
If this was 1980 and I were 12 years old, I would play this every day until I ran out of quarters. So good.
Haha, thanks
This is so cool! I also like the graphics and the gameplay!
Thank you so much!
I liked it because it reminds me of mine XD, the graphics are great!
Thank you! Art isn't something I know how to do well, so I'm happy people think the game looks good
This makes me hate all the PICO-8 games I've ever created. (your game is insanely good) I think it's beauty is in its simplicity and art (particle effects + nice graphics), but also the gameplay is complex (different enemies etc) and engaging. Teach me the ways! xD
Aw, no need to hate your PICO-8 games! There are many different styles of games that can be made with the tool. Thank you so much for playing! I recommend checking out Lazy Devs Academy's tutorials, they helped me a lot getting started on PICO-8!
I recently learned that it's possible to do so much more with PICO-8 from the Toy Jam, although I didn't participate. Your game has inspired me to make something new again with PICO-8. I'll check out the tutorials thanks!
Cool game. I like how the simplicity of the obstacles doesn't diminish the graphical beauty on it.
The eased movement is also great. Nice sound effects.
Thanks!
Not sure I would be cut out to work as a package courier...at least in this part of space! Definitely chaotic. Oddly enough, I thought a really long train of containers would be unwieldy, but I managed to steer through some tight places. Could use music, as others have mentioned, but otherwise nice work!
Thank you for playing!
nice! great game, lots of fun. but maybe add some music
Music will definitely be added if I make a postjam version! I just didn't have enough time to make it within the time limit
For next time, you can use music from these sources for free in noncommercial projects!

Good work on taking a simple concept and refining it to this great game!
Thank you!
Loving the retro graphics and SFX. The gameplay is great and a cool concept. Certainly challenging, especially once the hostile ships arrive and the obstacles become denser. The only thing that it appears to lack is some music or ambience audio.
Haha, yeah, music is something I definitely would've added if I had more time/experience making music. Thank you so much for playing my game!
Idea and implementation is excellent, really captures risky and well designed gameplay with it's package system. I ended up playing this one for a lot longer than expected, for good reasons. Also those darn ships!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Fun game! I love that it's not JUST a shoot'em up but that you have to take care of your packages and stuff. The loading mechanic is great. The art style and the background make it kinda hard to read the environment though
Thanks a lot for playing! Yes, I can see how some enemies blend in with the background (especially grey asteroids). That is something I will change if I ever make a post-jam version!
Very fun !
Thank you!
What can I say… I like the idea a lot and I prefer your implementation haha! Here’s why: https://pello.itch.io/truck-track
Wow, what a coincidence! I like your implementation as well, giving each package its own sprite/description is a neat detail!
In my case the camera zoomed out as you get picked more containers. But the randomness was to hard for the player. Yours is more gentle and the way the trailing containers move is really satisfying. I did that for a jam which limitation was “too long”, haha.
Good game, and made on PICO-8
Nice!
PICO-8 rocks!
