LudumData

Postman by Qin Bugong

[raw]
made by Qin Bugong for Ludum Dare 53 (JAM)

//Updated some ux for help

//Updated UI fixed version in Download and Web, fixed problem of losing some elements

Drag worker on the bottom to the aarrow, when all workers leave, the poster will start

Please use Num1-6 to switch Levels, R to restart current level.

Workers rotate arrow 60 degree, worker with star will do the same but to 120 degree

TIP.png

Arrows with double yellow sign will synchronized the rotation of another one.

All levels can be passed, I planned make 10 levels but it tool my many hours to solve the problem after building...

The 6rd level is unfinished, it means you can pass it very easily.

Have fun!

cool idea but way too difficult, need a button to reset the level.

I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing... I'm pressing directional keys and the mouse, but nothing happens?

I like the concept. I love puzzle games myself.

As advises, it could use some instructions and a redo option.

This is a very cool idea for a game. Reminded me of chu chu rocket! I could not find a "tips" section that taught me how to play so I kind of stumbled through to figure out the gameplay. Once I did I thought it was a pretty fun and neat idea. But I think there were a few instances where the level was impossible to complete. I've attached a screenshot of the level that I got stuck on.

Hey I have updated the tips, after having checked the project I found that was a unity plugin changed my ui and script reference, I fixed those scripts before jam ends but until now the UI seems totally dead. So please play with keyboard

Please use Num1-6 to switch Levels, R to restart current level.

Thanks

@bonzochuff Hello , I have uppdated tips of game, the reason of being stucked is that you need to use all workers before postman move.

Very cool puzzle mechanic! It took me a bit to figure out but then it was pretty intuitive. Awesome job!

Nice little puzzle game! Would definitely like the animations to run faster so I can spend more time playing than watching XD

these puzzles ramp up really quick, I ended up spending so much time to do them but it felt so satisfying to actually beat. nice game :smile:

@the-neon-shark I planned to make a 2x speed function but due to my trash code there will be many bugs XD, so I just left a reset there

Cool mechanic but really difficult. Need more UI/UX to teach me how these mechanics work and a button that can undo my input.Btw, may I ask where are you from?

I was getting impatient at first having to wait for the workers to get off the screen before the postman would move, until I realized the workers bounce around on the arrows too. Very cool mechanics, that makes for interesting puzzles! The audio was really loud going in, even with my pretty low volume settings. Usually you want to lean on the quieter side if you don't have volume controls in-game.

@zephyr19 Thanks for playing it, you can refer to the introduction of this page, to reach the deadline I got no chance to make a tutorial in game. And I'm chinese :D

@qin-bugong 看到这个ID就感觉是国人hhh，你这个机制真很有意思呀，但是谜题真的好难，过了2关难度骤升两眼一黑。要是后续能优化一下UX，比如把工具人放上去的时候能显示路线，邮递员的行动路线也可以显示终点，能为玩家减少很多思考的成本，专注于谜题本身。再比如顺时针逆时针的工具人和能用两次的转向标都能有一下UX的提示就更好了。不一定对，一点点小建议

@zephyr19 第六关没做完好过一点，这次因为用了一个插件会导致游戏打包后脚本读取不到物体，我花了很久才找到问题所以好多东西都没时间加上。 一开始是想着做10关，有时间做到20关的。要是没提前试着打包游戏都赶不上发布了 0.0

Nice puzzle game! The systems you build together can interact with each other and bring several combinations and possibilities. I can imagine a player finding a solution that was not the one you planned in the game design. And I think this is awesome!
Some of the levels seems to "complete" even though I didn't find the solution.

@cabjhegas Thanks for playing, I have test all levels before I publish it, the 5rd is really difficult for me according to what I remember

What I mean is that I passed to the next level even when I failured

@cabjhegas Maybe you switch levels by keyboard? But,I think my bad coding could cause similiar bugs and I will check it. Thanks for your feedback :smile:
