I am not a good Courier lol but I like the concept! maybe seeing more of the map would help  a little?

Submitted

Super cute concept, was very happy to discover I could mount the horse. Would have loved to play more, unfortunately ran into some issues which made it difficult to continue. For me the biggest issues were receiving no feedback when correctly delivering a letter, and the letters being in reverse chronological order when carrying multiple letters. The idea is neat, the implementation just needs a bit more attention. 

Submitted

Really fun and creative concept! I couldn't quite get the horse working and while a pigeon on a horse is a funny concept, I think it may have been better to have a limited/toggle dash instead. But I love the idea and I can see it becoming something super golden if you work on it more after the jam!

Submitted

I love the art and the music you went with was a good combination. I struggled with the controls quite a bit, especially with the horse. I ended up abandoning the horse entirely because I couldn't get it to go anywhere. Otherwise it was fun running around and the art made it a fun stroll around.

Submitted

The Idea was nice, and I liked the artwork and the audio. Though the controls were a bit finicky, and I could walk on top of buildlings some times?

Submitted

So cute! Love the idea and the cozy medieval vibes ^^

Submitted

I LOVE the art in this game; the pigeon looks so cute. The gameplay is fun; I just wish there was a direct response if the letter was delivered to the correct house. 

Also, I don't know when the game "ends". Is there a message or something coming up, or is it just an endless cycle of who gives up first, the player or the recipients of the letters? Because I think I only delivered the first few ones to the correct address xD

The hand-drawn art is definitely the highlight of this game. It has a really charming style, and the whole atmosphere feels cozy and relaxing.

The gameplay is simple and enjoyable, but I think it could use more feedback. I wasn't always sure if I had delivered a letter to the correct house, and the collisions felt a bit inconsistent. I also couldn't get the horse to work, so I ended up walking the whole time.

Overall, it's a lovely little game with a lot of charm. Great job!

I love the idea! Great use of the jam theme, cute as heck art. The idea is there and very clear. The execution is a little rough. I wasn't sure I was doing deliveries right, so some more clear distinction of buildings and feedback on deliveries would be helpful. Great work!

Submitted

The collision detection is completely broken some houses have collision while others don't and the horse mechanics are weird, with turns that don't look great. 
The art style is pleasing and the concept is quite interesting, but the map edges are too abrupt, and the village is too empty and boring.
Submitted

i really liked the art style! i felt like a whimsical bird for sure :)

Submitted

Collision seemed a bit off but besides solid work!

Submitted

The visuals and sound are excellent. However, the game has resolution issues, the horse doesn't work properly, and the collision placement is incorrect.

Submitted

Such a nice looking game. I kinda love the fact that there are no score. Cute game!

Submitted

Really cute art and premise. I culdnt figure out how to get on the horse, it wasn't too bad going around in foot. I wish there was more feedback on if I delivered it to the correct house and wish I could grab all the letters in one go then go around and deliver that or not sure if I just wasn't clicking it right but only let me do one at a time. 

Submitted

As others have mentioned it's a bit buggy and there's some depth issues with the houses, but the artwork and theme is great, good job.

Submitted

I like the idea and the art is great! As mentioned in one of the comments, I can't get the horse to work, so I had to walk on foot the whole time :(

Submitted

Great vibes! Unfortunately the game expanded past my monitor and I couldn't really tell what I was doing :(

Submitted

Great game! I loved the narrative and art!

Submitted

The hand drawn art was gorgeous, although I couldn't tell if I was delivering the letters to the right places.


Also, the horse was bugged so it couldn't be ridden for me, it would just stand there when I pressed mount.
