The Flying Postman by auxC
Freefall your way through funky levels to deliver packages between 2 cities



"What's the shortest path from A to B?"
Straight through the planet is our answer when you need something delivered really fast and in style.
Here are some helpful gameplay tips:
- Grab all packages and jump down the chute.
- Follow waypoints so you don't end up somewhere weird, like "DEAD END" or "Probably Australia?".
- Try not to crash too much maybe.
- We're sorry about level 5.
Controls
- WASD/Left Analog - movement
- Space - jump!

Sound effects and music really ties everything together. Fun!
Love the unadorned style - strategic minimalism at its best! Would have liked a little texture on the walls for some visual variety but really enjoyed it.
It felt a little tough to react in time to be able to navigate to collect the waypoints items, but the collision detection was generous enough that it never felt cheap.
Excellent output overall!
I felt that it was a bit too easy if you avoid the boxes and went straight to the waypoints and a bit too hard otherwise.

Thanks for submitting your game!
Other than that, the graphics and music are very charming and the game is super fun to play. Well done!
The only issue I encountered was that the player seems to randomly speed up sometimes when falling down the hole. That makes it really difficult to collect all of the waypoints since it happens unexpectedly. Also, if you miss 1 or 2 waypoints in the beginning, the rest of the level is lost.
