Nice implementation of the theme. The first way across the street to the garden was a bit repetitive as the cars were rarely a major obstacle. Otherwise I had a lot of fun playing :D

Wowza, what a groovy implementation of the theme, man! The cars were chill and didn't really block my vibe, ya feel me? But overall, I had a blast playing, it was a real gas! Keep on truckin'!😂😊🖖

so fun! i really enjoy it, love the sound of the old lady

At some point the character should ask himself if crime really pays. Maybe he doesn't care, and only did because he had fun with it as I did.
Some decisions are odd, like how the police has no spatial memory (you cease to exist for them if you reach home), but if that is the price for the game mechanics to work, so be it.

so good game this is. had a blast with it, it's super fun. the box dropping felt a bit random, but I probably missed some clues. really like the unapologetic old granny. great, great game!

This game was amazing! It's really quite challenging! I think an option to disable the lines from the cameras would be quite cool as they would make it even more challenging! This was also a very cool take on the theme!

I was laughing so hard when granny shot me in the back. Great idea for a game with a high level of difficulty :>

really fun, couldnt get past level 3 lol but i enjoyed it alot. made me laugh out loud when i got smeared across the street by passing traffic. theres a sentence i never thought i would say. thanks!

Wow, this is a really good game! I would play the full version if you would finish it and release it. Poor my nerve cells and doggie(

Love the use of the theme here! It's so much more inspired than all the games that just have you deliver stuff normally (on an unrelated note, don't look at my game lol). The controls were also uniquely different, and I loved all the little touches that made the game feel more complete, like the granny cussing you out when you step on her flowers. Wasn't a big fan of the dog, though - I felt it came out too fast and was too hard to outrun most of the time.

Amazing! I love the idea and unusual controls! also really like the extra layer of obstacles (the granny shooting because you stepped on a flower is hillarious). also quite challenging, it took me a few tries to get through the first level even. great job!

That’s some amazing pixel art work! Good job!

Very good game,very well polished, I could see this becoming a full game

very fun take , start out small but become chaotic by the end xd had a couple of laught specialy at the last level

This is a really fun idea, feels like one of those classic flash games. Such a nice premise too, I've always wanted to be a porch pirate!!

I have to be honest, I was stuck on level 5 for a longer time than I'd like to admit. I was so used to not stepping on the flowers. I thought I couldn't avoid the dog noticing me, so I tried to kill off the dog, first tried to run into traffic with it following me, so a car would hit the dog and I would be free to get the package. I wasn't able to pull it off.

I also tried to get the granny to shoot the dog but that didn't work (would be really funny if it did). Then while trying to trample the flowers for the granny I finally realized the dog didnt notice me when I ran that far up...

So that was my little level 5 adventure, anyways, incredible game!!! Well done, feels super polished. The music is super nice and overall it gets 5/5 for me!

Wooow great game!! :smiley:
Like everyone said, it's very polished and very fun to play. The level design is also quite interesting, some like lvl 3 I had to try many times thinking "this is impossible", and others the sequence is quite obvious but the execution, much harder :laughing:
I really loved that you could actually get back home even if the police was after you, very satisfying especially when you reach your house almost at the same time as the police car xD
Nice also that the mines can kill the dog, I don't know if you can get them killed with the rifle too? I only tried a couple of times.
Thanks for the game!

Great game! Perfect set of dynamic obstacles to learn and avoid. I managed to get the dog ran over one time which I was surprised worked. Apparently the mines can kill the dog too which is really cool. Well done.

Serious nostalgia flashbacks to the flash games of yore, for me. Definitely belongs on newgrounds, and up there with the real good stuff! Very solid game full of polished and fun UI, but the core gameplay loop is really engaging too! I felt bad about walking the dog into mines... but he _did_ munch on me a few times, so I guess fair is fair. :laughing: Very well done! :tada:

Really fun game! Love the sound design, especially the granny!

This is awesome! I love the stealth action and the movement controls are so simple but work beautifully! The art and audio suit this game perfectly. The music track is very reminiscent of the end of Ocean's 12 during the laser scene. Found myself laughing every time the old lady shot at me.

Metal gear package delivery, I liked so much this game, especially the final levels, when it starts to anihilate you. Very cool design with polished mechanics.

Good fun game! I felt it was a little too easy to "brute-force" some of the levels but i still had an enjoyable experience

Graphics might not be the best, but the fun from playing makes up for it all. I like how thoghtfully designed levels are and that I can get through them in different ways

Great take on the theme!

This game is very clever (but also super hard)!
The music is the best I've heard in al of the jam so far. I love how chill and suitable for the game it is too! I also love the punny name. Overall, amazing!

Amazing work! Great life lessons on stealing packages!

What a creative game!! But also SO HARD WTF????? I legit have no idea how to get past level 5, it looks like the dog is faster than me, zero chance! That said, this game is delightfully quirky, I love the cartoonish feeling, the crazy granny with a gun, the guard dog, how the police just BARGE INTO someone's front lawn to run over a package thief. This game is as charming as it goes.

Really great and well-designed game, I also love the art style. Having to get the dog to chase me into the street and get run over was really funny and a great mixture of two existing mechanics.

Thanks for submitting your game on the stream! Sorry that I couldn't play much of it, but weirdly it all works fine now for me, so it must be something to do with my GPU/CPU being used by OBS when streaming? Nice level designs, the dogs were a menace! No way I was gonna get past them without sprint!

Here’s the stream if you wanted to re-watch initial thoughts (timestamps in the description to jump to your game!) [youtube link](youtu.be/7zAPBeiWuqA)

@aschab @chusmimax @bartalomew @tul-games @sweedy @kabura @space-games @drafy @rabbert @bloodyaugust @scriptmage @bonzochuff @luis-priego-cuenca @kosmik123 @spacemyname @weirdbitgames @josephgallear thank you so much for these nice comments, it warms me up a lot! i'm super glad that you liked (or even enjoyed) my game!

@darwyn @caoslourenco @niterich @roboolet thank you for your comment and for the feedback on balance, this will certainly help me on next LD!

@danknstein @fupi thank you for commenting! if you happen to be blocked on one level and you want to try again, i've uploaded a playthrough on youtube where you can see how i achieve each level (but there are several ways to achieve them as i've seen on some streams):
[playthrough](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAAUo59BG7w)

@alisher-fazilov @mkraw oooh! thank you very much!! unfortunately i don't plan to make a post-jam game (i usually need to still be in the excitement of the jam, as i was for last LD, but since i won't be able to touch the game project on the next 2 weeks, i think i'll never work on it again haha) but that's so nice to hear!!

@jejkobb @alyd-asmar thank for your great feedback! you're right, grandma should be able to kill the dog, i don't know why i didn't implemented it (even more when i already have 2 other ways to kill the dog), bad me!

@bodhiagora thank you again for playing it on stream, that was such a fun moment to watch! @lomby thank you very much for streaming it too.i'm so relieved that you could finally play it the intended way!!

love yall

Very challenging game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 53 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. https://youtu.be/d5bLQmuzzPs

Loved it. Really great art style. It felt very complete. The challenges were difficult and nicely balanced. Had a bit of everything. KUDOS

That moment of clarity when you realise the dog and the cop have the same AI. Much harder than it looked on stream!

This was so much fun to stream, thanks for submitting it! I love how soft everything is, like if you make a mistake (like stepping in the vision of a camera, or stepping on a flower or triggering the dog), it wasn't necessarily game over, you could still do things to save the run. The increasing chaos of it all, and keeping all of the obstacles in mind was really fun! Here's a link to the vod if you wanna rewatch;

What a fun concept! This neighbour sure is scared of the parcel thieves, installing all these lasers, and for a good reason! Even police is on our tail, and we are still going ^^' I wonder what's in these parcels?
The game got hard for me real quick, I didn't realize at first I was spending energy for sprinting, and then police kept getting to me :D I am a bit squeamish when it comes to gore elements (police literally ran over me...) but that's the only thing I didn't like about the game, I am sure it's not a problem for most of the players.

I just played this game again to capture some footage for a video and weirdly I seemed to drop my package every time I started running, which didn't happen when I first played, so OBS/low fps probably does have something to do with the bug. Just wanted to report that ^^'

@fupi oh thank you very much for that feedback! i've seen this problem in my previous games, and most of the time on streams, so it begins to make sense! :heart:

Excellent! Great take on the theme. Creative and I love how more elements are added every couple levels. Having failure be fuzzy makes it awesome because everything can go to crap but you still might make it! That makes for some very intense fail-forward scenarios.

It felt too difficult but I made it to the end. Great game!

So close!

I really like the idea of your game. Really addictive gameplay and well-chosen sound effects. I really want to pass your game!
By the way, my team had a similar idea))

I played this on stream, I think my feedback was mainly revolving around my difficulty discovering that dogs give up chase at a certain distance. Perhaps it would've also helped if there was a bespoke quiet moment where you could think about the way you'll approach each level, before being thrust on the timer.
Had good fun beating the levels, the granny and all the cartoon violence was pretty hilarious!
Well done!

Challenging but fun game! I loved the controls and style. Nice job :)
