This one was really cool! Didn't get too far since the difficulty spikes up quite a bit after the first few packages, but I had a great time with what i did play. The UI was especially a high point. It was really intuitive and looks amazing.

I really like the UI and the art style of the game! Hopefully you continue this game in the future!

That coughing sound sounded so painful it actually made me feel like coughing too.

Great graphics, theme and sound. Especially how the grass moves. The UI is also excellent.  All the maps being Overgrown Garden suggests that more was planned, and I hope you get the chance to improve the game after the jam. Sometimes the level has unavoidable obstacles, even on Easy, and after I cleared my debt, my debt kept increasing and my cash was stuck at 0.

Pretty cool idea, a delivery temple run sounds nice. I liked the graphics and the UI design, although I do feel that the UI is a bit cluttered at times. The player getting faster as they continuously walk is a nice risk/reward element, and the packages having modifiers gives some variety on obstacles to definetly avoid.

Some things which could be improved are audio, that coughing did jumpscare me the first time xD

That coughing catched me off guard :D That menu looks great !

This is a neat little game, but there was only 1 strange place!  I wasn't sure where to run, but I avoided the obstacles and sometimes won and sometimes lost!

The coughing from the spore pods was a little long XD

Game looks great, maybe a little bit unforgiving as it is hard to know exactly how close one can get to the hazards.

I really liked the visuals and the gameplay. It gives off a similar vibe to temple run but more spooky. Great stuff!

I enjoyed the aesthetics of the post-apocalyptic uber delivery guy ! I would say that I had some troubles knowing the limits of the things that damage my package, and the gameplay felt a bit repetitive. However, for a jam project it's very polished in terms of visuals and sound!

The game was pretty cool, the sounds and visuals were great, however, in my opinion, sometimes some obstacles are too hard to see

I love your game, the ambiance, the atmosphere, the audio, it's great!
