Hey fellas! Very solid entry! I feel you've made great use of the assets and musicpacks available to you. The game runs very smoothly and it's actually quite relaxing to drive around and to get to know these silly little animals. I did miss a bit of a challenge, something like a timeframe to deliver packages or object collision would improve gameplay as far as I'm concert. All in all great work however!

Really good game, i loved the mood

The fact that i started to know the town despite my horrible sense of direction is a real achievement 😉

Nicely done! It looks very cute, finding a house that matches the description is a nice challenge. The controls were a bit unintuitive at first, but I got used to it quickly. It's a pity that the order of deliveries is not random. To be honest, on the third try I didn't want to repeat everything from the beginning. However, other than that it's really great. Good job! ;)

I played Critter Courier and loved it! The game was fun and cute. Delivering packages was an interesting challenge, but I managed to navigate through the city. The characters are charming and contribute to the cozy atmosphere of the game. The controls were a bit confusing at first, but I quickly got used to them. Overall, I really enjoyed Critter Courier and would recommend it to everyone! 🦦🚀

@tiolouis Oh no :(
That's weird, I'm really sorry for you... Do you have an idea why it occurs?

Finally got to make it work ! I love this game, chill and beautiful. I love how you guys can't help putting american flags everywhere haha <3
The design is really well done, very "clean".

Notes :
- Not friendly for non QWERTY users (had to switch to english keyboard)
- Game crashed at first when launching, and then only big freezes at start

@tiolouis Thanks a lot! Happy you could play! :two_hearts:

I agree with you for non QWERTY users as I am one of them myself. That's why we can play with arrow keys, it's much easier :p

Thanks for your support and your feedbacks <3

Congrats for this very polish game you've made !
Great atmosphere, between the sound design, the animals, the visuals and the dialogs, it's chill to play (btw, thanks not to put a time-rated :pray: )
I had fun with deduction experience, especially when you gradually appropriate the city, which makes me feel rewarded.
Maybe be more generous with the silly stuff, like explosions or crashes, and the ticket system put the pressure on when I only had few left :c Though, for a jam it's way better than expected !

Oh des lyonnais ! :D
Très sympathique jeu de jam ! Le décors est bien foutu et bien exploité, et les personnages sont mignons !
Dommage que la voiture ne soit pas physiquée et qu'il n'y ait que les lampadaires qui soit destructibles ! J'avais envie de pouvoir foutre le merdier dans la ville ça aurait été cool ^^

Really nice. This is a lot of content for a 3-day jam! I think it could be improved with some way to turn the camera, as some of the building signs are hard to read from the default angle. I had a great time playing.

Well done putting a whole town together in 72 hours! I liked your approach to the theme; some of the clues were really challenging!

Took me a few tries but I finally started figuring my way around. I am blown away by the attention to detail in this game. How the heck is this a jam game!

@karreg Ca fait plaisir de voir un français ici haha !

Merci pour tes retours en tout cas, on souhaite l'améliorer en termes de polish etc en prenant les retours constructifs qu'on reçoit ici en compte, mais on est déjà vraiment fiers de ce qu'on a pu produire en seulement 3 jours ! :smile:


@chucks-feed-and-seed @caeonosphere @drazil100 Thanks to all of you for your great feedbacks! It warms our hearts to see such compliments on our beloved game. :relieved:

We're still looking forward to improve it, especially on the building signs too difficult to read or some clues as well. It's really cool to know if the game is too difficult for now or not to know how to make it better! :smile:

The game is too cute and chill, the gameplay is really fun, and the enigmas are neither too hard not too easy, gg!

Amazing entry. Loved the graphics, the characters, the music and the map!! And I really loved the drama as well :) I got lost after going to the cleanest café in town because I couldn't remember where Oscar lived, and I couldn't figure out where to go even with the hint.

This has been one of the best game- if not the best- I've played in this Jam so far. I really am super amazed that you could pull something so polished in so little time. Great job!

Fun game! The controls were a bit wonky, and it was hard to know which house to go to but maybe that was just me, but other than that it was pretty good! :slight_smile:

So far the best game and most beautiful low polygone game I have tried. :star2:
I like the small city and the striking details become more apparent through the gameplay. :smiley:

I love that you have given a twist to the concept of delivering packages and letters and that you have made exploring the city a fundamental part of the game. It is a great detail that you have implemented a hint system that is integrated into the game universe.

I love it, it's a very complete game and the use you've made of the assests looks organic and none of them feel out of place.

Great job!
