Project: Courier is a single player, third person hardcore/speedrun platformer. The player has to use his movement abilities and combine them to overcome obstacles and deliver goods from one city to another as fast as possible.

Story

In the year 3069, humanity had to face its most disastrous threat. A giant meteor crashing on earth, destroying whole countries....unleashing an unknown strange plant that spread its deadly tendrils over everything in its path, deactivating any electrical devices with its spores.

The last communities developed an energy shield that could prevent the tendrils from growing over it. And so, humanity was forced to seek refuge in these shielded cities, separated from one another. To enable communication and exchange of goods and data, the Messenger program was launched.

Only the best athletes were trained and equipped with augmentations to travel between cities. These messengers tavelled the dangerous paths. Thanks to a newly discovered and really expensive respawn technology, these fearless heroes could virtually not fail and attempt their missions over and over again. (Nevertheless, dying is still very painful.)

And now you have become one of these messengers. Right before your first mission, you are filled with feelings of excitement... but also fear. 

Thank you, for keeping humanity alive!

Unfortunately most of the sounds are still missing. However I can see the potential of this game. Movement has some room for improvement otherwise it's fun to play. Looking forward to see the final game!

thanks!

Nice idea, movement feels solid. Curious waiting for whats coming next!

Do you know this feeling fighting for the "I can get one more second less". Finding shortcuts was real fun!!!

I really like the character movement !

The sound still seems to be missing. But still a strong prototype!
