Got the level 3 and funny and fun, It plays very good and I love the story to follow alone with. I will keep this and play it when I get bored. To be honest, for a game comp this is more a professional looking game that could be turned into a full dron delivery game. You should work that out. Think of paper boy back in the day, that old school fell that has endless level play.

Thanks guys.

Yah, it had my attention for a bit

I had big plans to expand beyond "downtown", into "central park", deliver to neighborhoods,, pick up garbage, deliver food, all of that but i struggle with "how much fun can a simple mechanic provide before it gets redundant?"

I had additional uprades in mind, various other ideas but the primary goal was to FINISH something. which i did ahead of schedule, for a change

In the end, a little "bite-sized xmas fun", a little humor...

speaking of which: do you guys get that the rooftop reindeer are angry at you because you "took our jobs!"? I think that i left that as "too subtle" and need to work on my storytelling.

Thanks again

Well there is like i said before , "Paper boy" Very fun. "mario" The same thing over and over but addicting and fun. "Sonic" The same. When I played this I felt that same old feeling of those games. I was upset to see when i tried playing today i was on level one.

Add challenges as you level up. Like birds that get in your way. Annoying kids who think its fun to throw rocks at drones. Accidently run into a stork that's dropping off at the orphanage.

I like how the ropes connecting the UFO to the cargo moves and change length. How was it made?

thanks for playing, guys

Quote: "Add challenges as you level up."

i added the reindeer chucking bottles at you with that in mind. they're kinda rare since getting whacked too often became aggrevating. they lead the player based on current velocity but i had them even smarter. the reindeer were happy but i wasnt

Quote: "How was it made?"

joints are added between each top corner of the package and the bottom center of the drone.

then, this function:

there are checks made for snapping the cables (Distance) and if the player releases the package, both of which delete the joints, otherwise.

initially, the package could rotate, which was kinda fun

but it got a little hectic so i took it out (i tested a buncha settings beyond what you see there - was never quite happy with the play).

regardless, the function covers both scenarios

again, thanks for playing and for the ideas. i could flesh this out some day and your feedback is appreciated!

btw, if you guys appreciate it, Rate it. it'll be incentive for me to continue working on it (same goes for my other projects).

my goal is always to share some fun and Ratings help "get it out there", so...

For some reason, I can't find the button to rate games on itch.io , or on AppGameKit Winter Game Jam.
Where was the button again?

That usage of DrawLine just gave me an idea for a trailing effect for spaceships, thanks

near the top RH side of a given project page on itch, you should see:

if your page is zoomed in, it may be on a row near the top of the project page.

otherwise, when the Winter Festival jam closes (in just over 4 days), you'll be able to rate the entries (separately, for the jam only) but not before.

both ratings help but the one on the main project page helps get it suggested to others (outside of the jam).

Quote: "trailing effect for spaceships"

GetWorldX/YFromSprite() are very nice functions. somewhere on the forums i'd posted its usage to detrmine a vehicles guns when the vehicle is turning/rotated.

you can do the stuff with a little trig but why when we dont have to?

meanwhile, looking forward to whatever you come up with
