It is lovely overall. I just think the camera is almost too close for the character. It could be just a little tad farther so I could control it better when playing on my phone

Strange, I am also on Firefox for Android and the game works fine.

The font? The art style? The fluidity on a mobile device? It's fantastic. I wasn't able to deliver packages but I was too mesmerized to be mad about that. Beautiful game. Kudos. Edit: I did figure it out and completed all the deliveries. So many potential. It reminds me a bit of Sky by thatgamecompany Edit 2: for the author, I noticed several players approached me and tried to communicate. Please explore games like J…

I think it's the curvature of the world that's making it run so well on mobile. There's never to much models on-screen to draw.

Don’t neglect that 2020+ mobile chips are better at graphics than PlayStation 4.

This is like a masterclass in game design, mobile UI, wasm, character design, game dialogue and interactive paychogeography. I'm gonna show this to my kid's computer club next week. Really fantastic, bravo. Is this seriously a solo developer project?? If anyone knows of similar games / apps / software tools that I could show as examples of solo developer small scope simple UI games I'm always trying to find more..

I am completely blown away by this.

As a web developer who doesn't make games...I'm a bit overwhelmed by the vast knowledge gap that clearly exists between what I know and what would be required to make this.

Wow. It's so beautiful and enjoyable to wander about in.

Did anyone else felt a bit nauseous after playing for a while? I think the overcorrection on sustained turns could be a reason. Lovely game but I had to stop playing due to this.
