Interesting little game, Original and simple idea. Good Job.
Love this - the only bug I ran into was I was able to buy 2 vans for my new factory but after that, every van I tried to add seemed to not spawn so I eventually made my customers angry lol. Would love some relaxing music, and some possible enemies, like a rival delivery service who can muscle in on my territory (maybe I can fight them too or sabotage their vans lol. Great job, I had a lot of fun with this!
Thank you for the nice review. There is so much I would like to improve but it all came down to time in the end.
Love the idea of rival delivery companies, that could become a very different game though :)
A simple and well-done flow game that gets more stressful the more shops there are.
At first I didn't understand that I needed to buy lorries to make the deliveries ; I thought they would come automatically with the roads. This deserves better explanations.
Only one sound effect throughout the game, from the title screen to the shops spawning, it becomes quickly annoying. There's no audio warning when a shop becomes upset or angry. In addition, when a new shop spawns, it should be more visible (visual effect, arrow ...).
Now, seeing that you used AI for graphics (this was obvious) and code, I'm wondering to extensively you used it, and how much core knowledge you learned from this that you will be able to reuse later.
I really really enjoy the concept of this game! It's really satisfying when you have a lot of vans moving around, I really felt a logistics type fantasy. Took me a little to understand the UI but when I did the gameplay is super fun
Thank you for the lovely review. I'm really happy you enjoyed playing it.
Cool game, i love the idea
Cute little game. One doesn't want to stop because "Next time I'll do better, I know it!" :D
Great idea and fun game
Neat game! I really enjoy games where I can build stuff.
I wish there was an indication of what factory I was stationing trucks at, and some more feedback on how many angry shops there are. Sometimes it reached 4 super quickly without me realising it.
Couldn't survive past 3min 10 sec ;O;
Nice job overall! It tickled my building fancy.
Nice incremental game. The one thing that I spotted - would be great if the angry shops - would be pointed to even when they are outside the screen. I zoomed in and one of the shops spawned outside the screen and I missed it, it stayed here till it filled with 5 parcels and only after I looked at the UI and saw 1/4 angry shops I begun to search for the angry one and was surprised when I zoomed out. I hope I delivered my idea.
Love the game, very fun to connect and upgrade. I did have some full screen issues and it would be nice to know the controls in the game itself but I got the cars where they need to go.
Simple and well done concept.
I'll be honest, the AI art cover threw me off a bit, but am glad I continued to try it. Pretty fun
I enjoyed playing your game and I thought the mecahnic was really cool. The longest I managed to last was 2m58s and I collected around $288 it said. It feels good when you have a solid network running (I played multiple times where the game ended pretty quickly. I felt like sometimes even though the houses were connected, or appeared to be connected anyway, they werent being serviced by my trucks so I had to rework the road. I think once I figured this out my performance got a bit better. Good job!
Wow, thank you so much. I'm really happy you enjoyed playing it.
Reminds me of Mini Motorways! :D Good job! I like this game.
Mini Motorways. Hmm, not sure I've heard of that ;)
Thanks for the review!!
It's a pretty fun management game with timely delivery pressure on the player, and the art style is great.. i love it.
Thanks for the review!
Neat little game. Surprisingly tricky! With a little polish, I think it could easily be a full game.
Wow, thank you. After seeing how it turned out I might just continue with it.
Appreciate the review!
Interesting and fun little delivery root manager. The UI kind of gets in the way though as others have stated. Solid little start to a game.
Yes the UI!! At least I know what to spend more time on next time :)
I thought the core was a lot of fun. I would polish the ui
Appreciate your time reviewing the game. Thank you.
Lovely game. I am a big fan of city builders and business management games, and I enjoyed it a lot. Great theme implementation, as other said the UI was kinda buggy. But overall I loved the progression. For the feedback you could bind the extra vans to a specific factory. so a factory could have lots of traffic and another factory only a few. And i didn't see any delete roads option if it was there. if its not then I would consider adding one so we can re-plan the routes, maybe refund a portion of the money, rebuild factories in a new position, adding some random events like a van broke down, some workers can go on strike etc.You did great job! congrats!
Thank you for a great review! It really means a lot.
You can delete road segments by right clicking on them and they just get added back to the inventory. The van to factory was also there, kind of, but it got a big buggy and was difficult to show what was happening. More work needed :)
Again, thanks for the review though!
Fun to play, gave me a challenge and got me hooked. harder than it seems for sure ! The UI is buggy though, it's not full screen, you might want to take a look at that ;)
GG mate
Thank you for your kind review. I noticed the buggy UI at the last moment and just had to go with it :)
I liked it. Simple but entertaining. Only thing is I didn't know when I was about to lose or what happened when I clicked on "Factory" at first. Took me a second to realize that the factory grew in size.
great job!
Thank you so much. Yes, there was some more polishing needed to give more feedback.
Really appreciate the review.
