Going Postal by OxyOxspring

[raw]
made by OxyOxspring for LD30 (JAM)
Welcome to Dreamsdale, the happiest micro-planet in the aether!

As our newly-appointed Postie, it'll be your job to sort and deliver all of our charming little letters. You'll be the one entirely responsible for connecting our wonderful citizens!

We can trust you not to read the mail, of course... And you wouldn't even think about delivering letters to the wrong house! That would just be silly.

We hope you enjoy your stay in our idyllic little world!

I love how, art-wise, this seems totally innocent, but isn't at all. Such a lovely experience. Absolutely hilarious. Great job!

Wow, really cool! Actually made me chuckle. I liked how the filthy houses were at the arse of the planet.
One little design thing that would be really helpful would be some indication as to which name was which house - there was a few to keep track of so I just clicked them at random to see where the letters would go. That's my only complaint! Hope you guys do well!

Nice overall. I was a little confused on what I was doing, but it was a neat experience. Worked like a charm on my Nexus 7 2nd Gen

Such a great idea and I love the humor. I started out by delivering a few letters to where they were supposed to go and then decided to send them all over the place. I do like the suggestion of some sort of indicator as to who lives where.

Nicely done. A nice pace change from all the action games I've come across. Solid humor in the interactions most of the time too.

Good fun! Don't know if my choices actually lead to changes, but the OTPs are all over the place. ;)

Had quite a bit of fun sending letters to the wrong people and seeing what their reaction is haha. Interesting ending; I have the feeling it would have been very different had I choose to do my job right. Graphics and audio were all quite polished. Good job!

Really cute art, music and humor. But what's the goal of the game (if I can call it game, so far)?

The idea of the game was that you'd effect the relationships between the characters depending on who you sent the letters to. Unfortunately we didn't have time to get the world's art to react to your choices.

There's three different endings to the town of Dreamsdale's story depending on your choices!

Music is awesome, I play it more on my Android just to listen to it more. Nice, nice everything. So cool. Thanks for the game.

That was actually really amusing, and not an action based game. Nice work!

Hi there. Strange... strange game. Played it for longer than I expected. Great artwork, humour, sounds and effects - the spinning planet, the various particle clouds, the church bells. Good job!

Really cool. I loved the writing, and only wished that the choices I was making had a bit more of an impact. Was fun trying to predict the responses of the charcters once you got to know them a bit. Awesome work guys! Oh and the graphics were superb btw :)

Thanks everyone! We really wanted to make the choices have a greater impact but unfortunately we ran out of time...
