That's a really funny game ! It took me an humiliating amount of time to understand that I could go up xD (not your fault, I am just very tired I think) But after that it was a lot of fun !

Thank you, I actually do need a controls page or a controls scene that you can look at in the menu's or something, just hadn't got time for it lol.

Simple yet fun game ^^ I got a score of 50 after some tries, I hope it's not too bad lol

It would've been cool if you managed to make the scoreboard online,  good job so far :)

Not bad at all! It got a bit repetitive but was fun enough for a mini game or arcade style experience. Of course it could use more polish regarding hitboxes and timings but we all know how little time we have for these things during a jam! :)

The art style is great, music was alright, but the game definitely would have been improved if you'd added more audio.

Mechanics were tricky to pick up, but fun once I got the hang of it!

This is a really clever idea! I think the concept could be tweaked a bit and make for a great endless runner mobile game. The idea of a newspaper boy type character using a grappling hook to do his job and that this is the garbage collection method the city government has decided upon gives me a good chuckle. Great job!

Solid game. Animations are great and sound is good. Yoinking in bins is pretty satisfying.

I played this and forgot to leave a comment. I had fun trying to catch all the rubbish. I also really like the visual for how the wheels turn faster as you get faster.

A simple mechanic that turns out to be pretty fun. Great job!

I love the retro vibe! Simple but fun. Good job

Loved it, reminiscent of the classic Paperboy but with better music

I really dig the retro look you managed to pull off. Fun simple mechanic that is easy to pick up and hard to master.

Developer

Thanks, appreciate it, wish I could have completed the game in time tho :(

Fun submission! I like the challenge of the game, especially the way you can't move backwards just forward in varying speeds. Easy to control, but difficult to master. 


Nice job!

Developer

Thanks, was first thinking that if you stop peddaling after a while you fall off the bike lol.

I wonder if the final scores are persistent...

Developer

Only locally, working on a server side system.

Liked the idea alot, good message also. It was diffucult to grab some trash when the hook was coming back, or it just can't do that.  Crazy banger song.

Developer

Yea it's supposed to be like that, glad you liked it!

fun little paperboy clone. I like the leaderboard feature, it would have been so good to have the leaderboard online. 

Developer

Yea sadly didn't have time to finish the global leaderboard yesterday but will update it when voting ends.

Submitted(+1)

Nice work! Is the leaderboard just local? 

Developer(+1)

Yea, first time making a webgl game on itch.io so didn't know that PlayerPrefs didn't work globally. I was working on a Server side leaderboard yesterday but didn't finish it in time sadly. Working on binary files to save and load now so will update it when the voting stops.

pretty nice

I dig the paperboy influence.  You really captured that SNES game vibe well!  Really cool that you added a leadberboard too, especially for a jam game!
