About The Astro Parcel Service
The Astro Parcel Service has just welcomed a new recruit and, as one of our contracted laborers, you are required to deliver packages by any means necessary, even when facing potentially deadly obstacles. Use the standardized space propulsion device we have kindly provided to supply as many deliveries as quickly as possible to meet our top four clients’ demands. If you fail you will be extermi--we mean, terminated from your current position.
As you find yourself out on the job, keep in mind the sorts of obstacles you might encounter during your scheduled work day. Be sure to protect the package by any means necessary (even if it’s with your life as stated in your contract) from meteors, orbiting rocks, black holes, astrobursts and the occasional cosmic squid.
Have fun as you fly around in space out there, remember management’s motto: Our employees are expendable. Our high quality customer service is not.

This game is so cute! I really like the design of the main character, Zip. The music is energetic and fun. I encountered a few bugs in the launch version, which I hope will be ironed out soon. Worth it for the soundtrack alone, tbh.8 found this helpful
I need to stress this first. My laptop is about 5-6 years old now, so I know some things is not part of the game's issues. I would rate this game 8/10. Pros: -Beautiful animations and details in the environment. -Unique but simple style of game play -Fresh new idea that involves postal service in space. Cons: -No save system in place. Once you exit out the game, you lose all progress you made. -When you're zipping around in space, sometimes you crash into objects and I find that I become immobilized/glitched in object until I teleport out of it. -Explanation of the controls. I think they could have either been explained easier or have a practice round of you pressing the buttons to learn controls and not proceeding until you complete the tasks. Overall: -It is a pretty cool game that just needs a bit of tidy up to fix some things and add new system features.5 found this helpful
🎥Played live on Twitch🎥 The controls were pretty tight, the soundtrack was very relaxing. The main character was so cute but (see end of game spoiler) > [spoiler] because the ending put me back at the opening cinematic I thought he got fired and I almost cried :(((. [/spoiler] It's a fun little novelty game that I could easily see on a console like the switch to just kill time with and relax. Bonus if you can yeet your packages from across the map to their respective recipients. 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 Consider following this [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40850336-Face-Value-with-Tiny/] Curator [/url] page on the search to support good lesser known games!4 found this helpful
"The Astro Parcel Service" is at least a sincerely made game, which is far more rare than it should be on the free section of Steam Direct. This is a simple amateur made arcade game where you have a job as a delivery guy and you deliver packages. This is done in the form of a loose Asteroids/SpaceWar! top down space physics game, where you control a spaceship with a string of packages tied on behind, and bash your way through some extraordinarily janky game physics. This is supplemented with a mediocre e-book plot about the struggles of working as a space delivery guy and trying to make ends meet. Times are tough for a lot of people so that resonates. The game still isn't winning any awards and it was an objective failure on Steam. This looks a lot like it was designed for consoles, but released on Steam instead by mistake. While this is on PC, it has all the hallmarks and deficiencies of a console game, from the clunkier than needed control scheme to the less than cutting edge graphics. There's 10's of thousands of PC games on Steam, and PC gamers deserve only the best. This might not appeal to many gamers due to the lack of PC-centric design. It's unclear why this never…
Solid little indie game
[h1]Before I played The Astro Parcel Service, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
