Delivery Dash!

Rent is overdue? Need a little extra cash?  Get the app, Delivery Dash!

Torque here, thanks for checking out the game. It's my 2nd game ever made and I did it solo in 7 days for the Indie Game Dev Beginners Winter 2024 Game Jam. Drawn art was done by me, the rest was free assets from Itch.io

My vision for this project was Overcooked meets Papers Please, and initially there was a lot of features planned, but with a short deadline I reduced the scope tremendously, but I'm pretty thrilled with the result anyways.

I'm hoping to make a full version of the game including powerups, more micromanagement of orders, better art assets, and who knows what else.

What is Delivery Dash?

With delivery dash, you'll sign up to do freelance delivery for people too lazy to leave their house.
No experience or driving safety classes needed, simply:
 Grab orders from different food slop shops,
 Speed through residential neighborhoods,
 Avoid the city's braindead drivers,
 Throw the bag on the person's doorstep
And you might earn enough money to keep from becoming homeless!

But hold up there, speedy. Remember, you're working corporate now and you know what that means, MICRO-MANAGEMENT.  Just like every app, Delivery Dash tracks your behavior, so make sure you update the orders on the app to keep the client and the faceless corpo overlords happy!

On top of that, you also have to watch out for bad drivers causing 12-car piles at intersections and daily rising inflation! Don't worry, it's just a game tho.

Tips for Playing:

1. If you can't find the guide arrow while driving, chances are it's behind your phone... or you haven't selected an order.
2. Delivery time starts when you accept an order, so you can always wait to the last second to accept.
3. Reject new orders if you're overwhelmed. You'll still lose rating but less than failing an order.
4. Avoid crashing, because it makes you look bad at the game... but also it slows your car down.
5. Prioritize your deliveries, usually by either time or distance.
