🪐🍕 Space Pizza Delivery by thecoconutdream
Space Pizza Delivery
The galaxy is hungry. The pizza is getting cold. You're already late.

Web App
We (Team of 2) developed a TypeScript web app. Here's the link: https://thecoconutdream.github.io/ludumDare59/
It's the year 2187. You're a delivery driver for Cosmic Pizza Co. - the only pizzeria brave (or desperate) enough to ship hot slices across Galactic Sector 7. Your customers live on distant planets, your spaceship barely holds together, and somewhere between here and there, a field of asteroids wants to ruin your day.
No one said this job would be easy. They said it paid in pizza.

Pick Your Pilot
NAMI - a Felinian cat with a legendary talent for not caring. She'll deliver your pizza. She just won't promise she didn't lick the box.
YUMI - a Canisian dog running at 110% enthusiasm at all times. The best. The most. The goodest.
How It Works
Every delivery is a three-act mission:
1. Fly There Navigate your ship through asteroid fields toward the client's planet. Dodge rocks. Visit side planets for upgrades. Try not to die.

2. Crack the Code You can't just land on a planet - you need to decrypt the entry signal by hacking an interdimensional cypher. Six attempts to guess the 5-letter access code. Get it right: pizza delivered. Get it wrong: things get messy.

3. Escape (If You Have To) Failed the code? The client's planet goes into lockdown - turrets and all. You've got 12 seconds to get out of range before they blow you to stardust. No pressure.

Upgrades You'll Find Along the Way
Stop at side planets to scavenge gear:
- Hyperdrive - +40% speed, one delivery only
- Shield - absorbs one hit, then it's gone
Controls
| Action | Keys | |---|---| | Move / Steer | Arrow Keys or WASD | | Thrust forward | W or Arrow Up (hold) | | Confirm / Skip | Enter or Space | | Approach client planet | Enter (when nearby) | | Land on side planet | E (when nearby) | | Cycle outfit | 1 | | Type cypher guess | A – Z | | Delete letter | Backspace | | Submit guess | Enter | | Shoot asteroid shattering rainbow torpedos from your eyes | Space |
What Makes This Special
This is a full game loop with escalating challenge - each delivery adds more asteroids and hungrier customers. Unlock cosmetic outfits along the way (cooking hat? delivery hat? full space helmet?) and cycle through them with 1 whenever you feel like it.

We brought so much pizza into the solar system! Lovely protagonists! And the wordling became somewhat easier once we realized it doesn't use a dictionary.
