Milber’s Mail Run is a platformer where you play a little postal worker.
Once you have delivered your letters there will occur random events like a dog spawning and hunting you. From your pay you can also purchase items like dog snacks to keep them away, different collectable helmets and clothing etc.
According to the developer the game is much smoother and faster on his PC than in the shown gameplay video.
He says that the recording software FRAPS has slowed it down a bit.
From the homepage:
The game consists of the player playing as Milber the postal worker. You run around the town delivering letters to different houses, depending where the next house is (similar to crazy taxi).
Random events will occur after delivering letters to a house. These could include, a dog spawning and chasing Milber. Jumping on the dogs head will cause the dog to retreat back to the house (in this case…disappear >_>
Not finishing your mail run on time = angry residents and possibly more spawning dogs etc.
As each day passes Milber earns his pay from delivering the mail. You can use your pay to purchase items for your character to make life easier. Dog repellent/snacks to keep them away, Different collectable helmets and clothing, etc.
The visual style will be soft and cartoony with bright colours and pleanty of extra frills for added action! The game is setup in a platform view, with each row of houses on a different level, this can be great for jumping gameplay and even maybe some puzzles thrown in.
Looks amazing, sounds fun. The last scene of the video reminds me of Noitu Love. An intentional homage?
um, not really :) I haven’t played Noitu Love to be honest (well the first one for a bit)
looks like a big improvement from the drab looking original milber. that game was pretty uninspired… haha this looks awesome though, much improved i see.
