It took me a second to figure out what to do, but once I did I really enjoyed this game! I probably could've gone on for 20+ minutes if I really wanted to.

I think it is a little bit too fast for beginners. Maybe increase the speed with the playing time. But in general, could be quite fun, maybe with a little bit more variation.

Simple but well made game. It would be cool if you expanded it to have different types of packages worth different amounts and have different weight to them. Also it would be neat it you had specific target houses or houses worth more but are more difficult to hit. Obstacles like trees, street lights, and civilians might be cool. I liked the arch displaying your aim. Good job.

@paul-avallone Thank you for playing and for your feedback! My original concept was for the boxes to have numbers, so the player would need to deliver them to houses with the matching numbers. I did have plans for obstacles, but unfortunately, I ran out of time to implement them.

@mar-zockmeister Actually the game increases speed by delivering the boxes, maybe increasing with time and/or decreasing speed would be better. Thank you for playing and your feedback!

It was immediately obvious what to do, but then - first miss, second miss ... and finally hit one and score slowly grew. Fast music also makes it more fast paced!

While it's simple, it's fun and a fast one! Does the speed increase with delivered boxes? It seemed faster and faster (was still able to get some hits).

Good job!

Simple and fun! It took me a second to get a hang of the game play but I had a a fun time throwing boxes into those houses. My one wish was there was some sort of visual feedback when I hit a house.

High score is 496. I'm going to try again now to beat it.

The controls are snappy. The gameplay mechanic fits the theme perfectly and is quite original.
I liked the simplicity.

If I wanted to continue the game, I would perhaps add obstacles and more details to the environment. Like changing from a rural area to a suburb to a city.

Very simple yet very fun. I feel as though the houses on the left are easier to hit than the ones on the right. Not sure why but it could be due to lighting. Also it was a little confusing looking perpendicular to the street yet having left and right move you left and right on the street. Ultimately id chalk that up as part of the game and not necessarily a problem though. Great game! ![Screenshot from 2023-05-06 17-00-54.png](///raw/320/3/z/5b817.png)
