Fun game, liked the art style, although I had to restart a lot due to getting stuck, a respawn button / get unstuck button would be very helpful

A little on the slow side for me but a good prototype for perhaps a future project. Nice work!

We fixed the restart problem in case you get stuck, now you can restart by pressing R. This resets to the position you were at 15 seconds ago.

Very entertaining game! The concept of being a flying mail is very interesting, and its probably one of the most unique games I have seen!

The music is also very nice and fits the game perfectly!

fun little game, though the control feel a bit too unresponsive for my taste, so a bit too chaotic. great job on the map design!

The visuals in the game are simple but very fitting and cohesive.
The controls on the other hand are reaaaaally hard to get into. I often found myself struggling to realize where I am and in which direction I am flying. It took many many trys to nail the position of the postbox down as I often flew right past by.

All in all a super great idea and visuals, I think the controls are hard to getting used to for a jam game so it might be a little too janky for casual playtesters.

Good job!

Very chill. Controls were tough but I had a good time regardless

The game is awesome! I'm not sure if the music really contributes to the exhilarating feeling though.

Mail Delivered! Fun game. Controls are a bit unusual with space being both slow down and speed up.

THESE CONTROLS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
could be a solid game but the controls were very difficult to use which made it quite un-fun for me.

The flying feels nice and weighty, though I agree it could do with being sped up a bit. The controls felt a little disjointed, A and D for turning felt like they were the wrong way round. Pitch being controlled by W and S but Yaw being controlled by the Mouse threw me off, they might feel more intuitive if both are on the same device. I liked the music too, fit the mood of gliding around the city nicely :)

Very difficult, but a fun game and rewarding once you manage to get the hang of it. Some ability to rotate the camera would be nice, and might make it easier to aim the letter

me gusta el arte, los controles son un poco difíciles

I like the idea and scope of the level and game play. The controls were very difficult to manage and somewhat frustrating. The A and D roll and flipping upside down became confusing and hard to correct. Going slow seems to be the ideal way to travel and enjoy the view!

I love have chill and relaxing this game was. Had a large amount of flickering on the concrete while flying. Overall nice!

The game's challenging and a bit addicting, great work! It is a bit slow for me and I think the option to accelerate would go a long way into making the long distance delivery's feel a bit less slow!

Pretty chill game with interesting flight controls! Although getting it into the mailbox is certainly a challenge.

What a cute idea! Love the atmosphere, and I immediately fell in love. It's hard to control the letter and specially fit it into the mailbox. Feels heavy, however, it should feel super light as a piece of paper :)

Interesting Idea! The top and down control was hard for me but it's a good implementation, maybe change the W and S to move the mouse too to top or down can be more easy to control it.

Was relaxing with the music but stressful while you are trying to put in the mailbox!

I like the game, was funny, great job!

Cool art, nice idea and controls. Like controlling it is the gameplay it is not too hard and not to easy, nice. But for me space didn't slow it down but made it faster, eventually I gave up my tries to finish the first task :D

As an experiment -- cool... But the control, as for me, is just terrible). But it was partly normal played, so good luck with your next projects.

Very slow turns, if you speed up the game will become many times more pleasant to control. The rest is excellent.

The graphics in this game are beautifully stylized, with a unique blend of art styles and attention to detail that make it visually captivating

Cool game! Loved the graphics and the idea! Turns felt a bit too sensitive and I wish there was a possibility to rotate the camera independently of your movement. Other then that I really don't have any complaints. Great job!
