Fred runs a self-made delivery service with his own truck.
(He's not very good at it though. And his truck kind of sucks).
Use arrow keys or controller to try and make deliveries.
**UPDATE: Added a POST JAM version with a couple bug fixes and on-screen controls for playing on a mobile device.

Great game, well made!
love the bouncing, this would be an awesome game for streamers to play live
I had a build where you could deliver everything at one point, but yeah, right now, it feels like $300 is a pretty high score. :face_palm: :rofl: I must have busted something in that last mad dash final hour of the jam.
I find it hilarious that Fred can't even manage to deliver a few packages only 20 feet down the road, :rofl: but admittedly doesn't make for a very fun game.
I do wish I could fix the position of that stupid tv and upload a new build, but not sure that is very jam-like?
So if we take away how hard the game is, it looks complete and cute in it's own way!
The graphics are pretty good!
The SFX were funny. I think the game is a bit short in gameplay but funny to imagine where you could take this :)
Here is my playtest:

I think its very well done in the time we had. I think with ENOUGH practice you could maybe actually deliver ALL of the boxes o_O
takes ages tho!
nice job! :D

The fullscreen button didn't seem to work as expected to me. The title screen is super appropriate for the pixel style of the game. Actually about the art style, it looks sprite-based but also the boxes move and fall in 3d?? Wow!
There is so much to unpack here (pun intended hehe). The controls and driving the truck feel super responsive and satisyfing, also the voice clips are funny too! Did you also record them yourself like I did? Hehe
The smashing glass sound has got to be my favourite sound effect and honestly, I'd rather let that parcel smash from than deliver it because it's so good!
Everything visually about the game looks super polished and professional. The background (and foreground) kinda look watercoloured too? The notepad/newspaper GUI at the top looks cool, it fits in with the make-shift theme of the game's design. The timer didn't seem to work and I don't think I could do much more than just the 1 level/4 parcels? I could be missing something though, I am dumb when it comes to video games! I'll play it a whole bunch more!
Overall, this is a solid entry, and it's super on theme for the jam too! The game doesn't need music for the gameplay but it wouldn't hurt. The sound effects (engine and parcels too) are really tactile and suit everything the game has to offer so well! Honestly, this is one of the top-ranked games in the jam for me!
