Arrow keys/WASD for movement and Spacebar to jump. Gathering two coins gives you one life, and taking damage removes one. Now go to the mailbox and get back! Just beware of where you passed by... Coins you collected become something else!

Postman Blue is a fun and short puzzle platformer about a mailman whose decisions on his way to each mailbox determine whether or not he'll make it back... Feedback is greatly appreciated!

This game was developed in under a week for the 2020 edition of VimJam, whose focus was collectables and theme, "There and Back". It scored #21 for Graphics/Animation and #64 overall, out of 468 entries.

In March 2021, it has been updated to account for all the feedback I received from the first version. Enjoy five new levels, extra polish, improved animations and better game feel!

In January 2024, a long-missed Linux version was added. I had to open the project with a newer Unity version and you may notice weird leaf visuals due to many changes in the engine during the past three years.

is this normal

Wasn't supposed to happen. Try reloading and hitting the fullscreen buttons and, if nothing works, downloading the .zip. By the way, could you provide me the name of your operating system (Windows, MacOS, Linux...) and browser (Chrome, Firefox...)?

Cool Game the art is very pretty. The only thing you need is a tutorial for it. But overall the game is amazing!

I love it! Had a blast playing it, wish it was longer...

pleeease keep developing it

Could you please add more help or tutorial? Otherwise the gameplay does not do any justice to the polish that you have achieved.

Unfortunately, I can't edit the game (or the page, I think?) while the jam is running. I will once I can though, quite a few people have reported some confusion.

Feedback: It's a bit unclear how the day and night cycle works, took me a little to understand. The coins are also unintuitive in how they work or how they relate to your end goal. Also, I couldn't get past the second level, which is a shame.

But the game looks really nice, and has cute sound effects. It has some problems, but I still like it. Good job!

Loved it! The pixel art is so simple and cute, and the level design is pretty clever!

Thank you!

The controls are tight! Really cute pixel art! At the start I did'nt understand what to do, if you can, try to make it a bit clear. But other that that I love the game.

Thank you! Yeah, I usually prefer to leave it for the player to discover what's happening, but I guess I've been a bit too vague this time around
