The art style and the game play mechanism is great. Hope you will make more games in future.

Please try my game also:

Developer

Thank you very much for the feedback!! ^^

I really enjoyed youre game. Good job.

Developer

Thank you very much for playing my game ^^

Decent little game, though some sprites appeared buggy (at least in my playthrough).

Developer(+1)

Oh, it´s only one sprite causing problems, because the name of the file has a special character and the browser has problems for use it.

You can play the Gd Games version (https://gd.games/kolde/the-cosmic-postman-and-the-sec), free of this problem (with only a stupid bug; if you die in the first level, you’ll respawn in third level, hehe).

Thanks for the feedback ^^

Awesome gameplay and art! Great work on this game! I left you a rating. Please give our game jam game a play if you have a minute.

Submitted(+1)

In a limited time you have created an immersive atmosphere and  very satisfying arcade gaming. Good work.

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you very much. It’s more complicated than I thought on the first time hehe.

Reminds me of playing Project-X back in the day

Developer

Oh, wow, thanks for the comment, it’s an honor that my prototype can remind you of games like Project-X ^^

Bro the Art direction of this game is pretty as well as the gameplay and NGL this feels so polished. Considering the time constraint you managed the time well on making this game, I can't even make my game as polished as this. You did great man.

I would also love to know your honest  insights to my game if you don't mind, thanks in advance.

Developer

Your game is quite polished IMO, bro! I like it a lot, but is hard to “control” hehehe.

Thanks for your feedback. I’m glad you like it ^^

Hey there Korgen...is me!!!.. Fnaf-fan0!!!.. The one who made funtime-party-crown-circus.. I just want to say is thank you so much feedback!!!!..i think you should give a short other new game I made that I highly recommend you to give a short.. And my new game call Ice tower.. I pull a lot time and effort on it by myself!!!.. I think you see how much i improved!!!!.. Really.. Any feedback  and also rank would mean a lot to me.. And you game is pretty good.. But Could be improve little bit.. Especially the "secret level".. Where I find it by accident by die.. and not  by actually beat level 1..but other than that.. Good game 👍👍👍👍

Developer(+1)

Hey, bro!! Yep, it´s a very interesting project, I wrote a feedback there ;)

In my game, I made a mistake. I linked the death in level 1 to a respawn in level 3. So, in order to play the game enterely, you can’t die in level 1 hehehehe.

Greetings!!

Nice story intro! Very intriguing. Too sad I cannot see the cute faces in the background 'cause the gd version won't work on my side:( Please try my game if you have a minute!

Developer

Oh, it’s a pity you can’t experience the game as I planned hehe.

I’m trying yours!

Wow!! El juego es super divertido, nos encantan los sprites con tanta personalidad, cierto el bug de la muerte que lo manda a otro nivel, la premisa es buena,  notamos un bug con la textura de fondo, que solo se activa al ser golpeado, fuera de ello, es un juego bastante solido, con bonitos gráficos que agregan game feel.

¡¡Felicidades y saludos desde México!! 🫶🇲🇽

Developer

Jejeje, muchas gracias por el comentario ^^. El bug en el sprite es porque (me acaban de decirlo en otro comentario) el html no acepta nombres de archivo “non UTF-8 Encoded characters”; vamos, que no representa sprites que tengan caracteres especiales en su nombre de archivo. Me pasa con un sprite de la cara Kawaii que le puse al planeta y al sol.

Si lo jugais en la versión Gd Games ahí si carga el sprite correctamente: https://gd.games/kolde/the-cosmic-postman-and-the-sec (la experiencia es mucho más divertida y cercana al original)…

There were some bugs with sprites in my case, and I found the pace to be very slow, but other than that, good choice of visual art in general. I think that with a little bit of speed it would be more interesting!

Developer

Hi! Thanks for the feedback. A lot of people tell me about the pacing hehe. I will update the speed at the end of the jam ^^!

About the sprite, you can play the same version in Gd Games (https://gd.games/kolde/the-cosmic-postman-and-the-sec). I don’t know why, but the html version in itch.io fails to represent some Kawaii faces, but the same version in Gd Games works perfectly…

Submitted

Maybe it is related to this?

Developer (3 edits)

Oh, interesting… I didn’t know that, thanks for the info!

But, no, I was checking the project to search the name of the files that are being failing, and there are like “Visage Peur” or “Visage 4”… Nothing with “non UTF-8 Encoded characters”, neither the names of any files, I think. I’ll do more tests after the jam to discover what is happening.

Update: You are a genius!! Yes, there was one file with of the kawaii faces with a special character!!! This is the problem. I will contact if I can upload an exe version of the game… But I think that the Gd Games version will be enough.

Thanks a lot!!

Submitted

You just learned something for the next jam! In your case it was very subtle, but it could be more serious or even left you without audio or something. You are welcome!

Submitted(+1)

The game is great! I like the cute faces that you added

I just wished that the spaceship was more fast and not that slow so that way I would have more control and it would have a great feel

Overall, really good game!

Developer(+1)

Thank youuuu! ^^

Hehehe, you are right, a lot of people need more pacing and speed. In the next update I will add more maneuverability :P

Submitted(+1)

🌟 Thrilled to review! 

The concept truly sparkles; graphics makes the game wonderfully engaging. 

Excited to see how the magic evolves with future updates. 

✨ Wishing you all the success ahead! 🌱

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much for your words!! I’m glad you like it ^^

Really fun game! 😊 I really like the shooting effects — the neon glow looks awesome, and the flying burger made me laugh 😄
One small thing that felt a bit off for me was when the monsters die and they rotate flat — it kind of breaks the immersion of the world a bit, at least for me.
But overall it’s a cool and enjoyable game 👌

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for the complete feedback. I appreciate a lot your comments and I’m glad you liked my project ^^ I spent a lot of time looking for resources and assets to make the visual and audio sections attractive.

Yep, you are right. The flat effect was the best option I had. I would prefer a white recolorize effect and some particles of “teleporting”, but I was running out of time and this little things, for me, with my limited experience in coding, take me a looot of time.

When I return home, I’ll play your project too ^^

Submitted(+1)

Fun space shooter really nice aesthetic and well made good job on getting all this done for a jam event.

Would love if you could please check out our game too

Developer

Thanks for the feedback ^^

Done. I’m addicted to your game. I will return to get the first place!!

Oops, I haven't actually rated your game yet even though you gave me so many tips? What a shame! 😅

Submitted

The story and controls are amazing, and the graphics are really beautiful! However, I found a bug; it's not a big deal, but it would still be much nicer if it were fixed 😃:

Developer

Please, play the Gd Games version. This bug is because a sprite, but only occurs in itch.io, not in Gd games…

Submitted

Okay👍🏻

Developer

Thank you ^^

Great job with this game, really good.

Overall good game, though I am on mobile so won't able to control it but other than that game idea and especially opening scene is really good  but i saw one sprite not working.

If you want you can check my game here and give your valuable feedback this will matters a lot.

Oh, please, try it on a PC in Gd Games. This sprite is not working on html of Itch.io, but works ok in Gd Games (I don’t know exacty why): https://gd.games/kolde/the-cosmic-postman-and-the-sec

I’m going to check yours! ^^ Thanks for the review :)
