It’s a brilliant and very creative concept! Very simple and straightforward to play, which is good. I had fun travelling across different streets and delivering mail, though moving around can be quite tedious at times, especially when compounded with the difficulty of navigation. Some suggestions I have are:

  • Instead of randomizing all 4 words on every move, just randomize the used word, or have a queue so the player knows what’s next and can start chaining words (which feels good to do) to move faster.
  • For Wholesome Street, it is separated by Roundybouty, which is alright because everything is color-coded, but because the player has to find the numbered house, it’s a sign that the landmarks/map needs to be more informative to feel more like a street. If I am unfamiliar with the game, it feels a bit like a treasure hunt, which is not a bad thing, but it felt less postman-like and this could be contributing to the tedious feeling because the typing already demands quite an amount of attention from the player. Therefore, I think navigation needs to be clearer.
  • The mail at the bottom left covers up quite a lot of the screen, perhaps a way to hide it or minimize it would be good.

Overall, I enjoyed my time with the game, and I think it has a great amount of potential. Good job!
