Gosh I loved this game. There was some gta vice city vibe haha and the minimalistic style is perfect
Great job ! The voice over is perfect <3

Really quite enjoyed this - cute game, fun music and sound, reminds me of Smugglers Run (which was a pleasant blast from the past).

The competitors could pose a bit more of a challenge, but that's something that would be very possible to work on.

Well done - thanks for sharing!

I like the voice-over feature, makes the game feel more alive and adds some humor. Well done.

Quite fun to play, I like the voice over. AI is a bit random but that just kinda adds to the chaos.

I got congratulated with a B rank. Great job ! Reminded me of OmniBus. The chaos created by other vehicles and the voice over add a lot of humor, and the gameplay is quite engaging.

Game freezes on my browser. I’m playing on chrome in IPad. But for the 10 sec. it runs...music is catchy, voice over sounds fun and it’s pretty fun

I got a B. Loved the game, really fun. Graphics were funny too. Loved the audio and music, especially the thick Yorkshire accent lol, gave the game a great sense of authenticity

Great game.

- I landed in the back of one of those banana trucks and got taken around for a ride
- I got mounted by 2 trucks who rammed me into a building and got me stuck
- Someone stole my package so I smashed into the side of them. Underestimated my speed and ending up killing the poor guy by throwing him off the map.

Really enjoyed the fun I had! One small thing is the camera looking down on the car gets very disorientating, I believe it happens when reversing slowly. Loved it though!

it's fun! controls need to be a bit more responsive and scenery is pretty empty but the humor is there

Arrows remind me of crazy taxi

that game looks bad but is probably the most playable thing in the whole jam. rework the map into a real city and add multiplayer and you'll make a massive hit, what a wonderful idea for a gameplay

Fun to play and audio is good, both in music and voiceovers. I wasn't expecting the stolen packages feature, it was a nice surprise. now this is how you deliver packages, kojima who? :p

Really chaotic game, but i love it. It getting more and more fun if you play longer and deliver more packages. The sounds are really good, normaly i shut down all voices in game but this music was okay fine for me. Also that other aggressive npcs hahaha so funny =D You really though of everything, even if the player or the package is dropping off the platform. Really funny =D

This is really fun! Narration is super funny. I wish it was multiplayer this would be mayhem online. Just needs more stuff in it. Awesome work!

Thinks I really liked:

* Babylon.js!?? Yeah!!
* NPCs!! Great!
* The comments
* The mechanics.

May be adding complexity for a new parcel will make it even better. Like it a lot. Nice entry!

This is great! I really enjoyed this, and found the physics of ramming other trucks to get my dang package back hugely satisfying. Would deliver to John the Block again.

Thanks for the feedback everyone it's good to hear you enjoy the voiceovers! The voice is one of us. We've got a link to a [post jam](https://foxdogstudios.com/static/delivery-derby/) version which has some fixes and has touch controls too. It's our first driving game and we've enjoyed the challenges in making it. We can recommend BabylonJS as a good tool to write "native" web games.

Fun little game! Rough around the edges of course, but definitely a fun experience with great humor and all that. :smile:

Great, funny game! I found it fun (and funny) to play and really liked the controls. The objectives were clear and the dialogue was amazing (and actually existed so bonus points)! It needs polishing, but its current state adds character so there's a fine line to walk there. I would also make it easier to catch vehicles that steal your package, as you travel at the same speed and have to guess when they're going to turn. To summarise, it is appropriately named, really enjoyable, really funny, and really fun! Well done!

@emperor-eagle Thanks for the detailed feedback, appreciate it! We've been working on the post-jam version and made it so other vehicles travel at around 60% speed when they have the package, which makes it much less annoying to chase them.

Fun to play!
I was not expecting that someone will stole my delivery!

@wdebowicz thanks! Stealing deliveries was the solution to them driving into the delivery at top speed and smacking it off the edge of map!

I'm kinda confused how does it relate to the theme, but the music and sounds are just great. Good job

I love the car physics and all the cars driving around.
Remind me of Destruction Derby when I was a kid.

soo fun! the graphics are very cool and music, voices, but I crash with other cars and lose the mapand run in the underground, very very nice work

Great game! Great concept, and great developed. There is only 1 thing, I had a movement nausea after playing it, which I never get after playing 3D games.

Really liked it, I think this can be a fun full game. Can't really see the relation with the theme and sometimes it was hard to move (like going backwards it did some weird stuff), but overall pretty nice!

This is just fantastic fun! I love the stealing mechanic. The car physics are perfect and I love the presentation with the voices and ridiculous car shapes. Great work!

@gameovermexico thanks for the feedback, yeah falling through the map is something we'd like to fix in the future - we made a voiceover for it to make it less frustrating for the player

@lasagnaandroid Yes it was originally going to be focused on keeping the packages health alive, but we got distracted with other elements of gameplay. The car does strange things when reversing, another thing we'd like to look at!

@slimbun Glad you liked it! Sorry to cause you nausea! Maybe our camera needs some tweaking to not react to quick movements in the physics.

@adsilcott Thanks for the kind words. The ridiculous car shapes were our "reward" for making it so you could change the size of car in code (set the height/width/depth) - and it would generate a car with the right sized wheels etc. to fit it.

i like the idea but the direction arrows were just random and the package got stuck inside town hall. So i never made any delivery. The concept is great tho!! and i like how the little cars jump forward when accelerating. the voice acting is grrreat

@magus77 Thanks for the honest feedback, appreciated! Yes the direction arrows only point to the package in the Jam entry (fixed in the post jam update) - so once you've picked it up and its rolling around in the back they change to keep pointing at it! Sorry your package clipped through - we need to learn more about these darn physics engines!
