The Last Postman

This game was developed for My First Game Jam (Summer 2020)

Theme: Change

The character you control changes as you shapeshift and morph to solve puzzles.

Overview

In The Last Postman, you play as a gelatinous blob of goo intent on reaching the human hideout to deliver an important letter. A war is raging between humans and monsters, and you've intercepted a letter that could turn the tide! 

On your way, you'll be trying to save lots of humans by taking control of humans and monsters alike. The Last Postman is a top-down, 2D, turn-based puzzler where you try to get as many humans as possible to reach the exit of each level.

Gameplay

Monsters will chase the nearest human in any cardinal direction around them, eating them if they reach them, and humans will run away from the nearest monster in any cardinal direction around them. (This includes you!) Morph, scare, and run the humans to safety!

Controls

Use WASD or the ARROW KEYS to move your character around

Press SPACE to return to goo form, destroying whatever organism you are currently in control of

Press R to restart a level

(Menus can be navigated with the mouse)

Thank you for playing, and we hope you enjoy it!
