A chill puzzle game with really nice aesthetics. It's almost like solving a rubics cube but I feel this is much more appealing.

cute free puzzle game with relaxing music.
That's all there is to it

Little Postman is a nice little brain teaser game. It's like a simplified Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. And I don't mean that to say it's an easy game, but that there aren't as many mechanics. You simply guide the little postman across the landscape using these little switches to rotate the diorama, opening up (or blocking off) new paths to make the delivery.

I finished all nine puzzles in 50 minutes, only getting stuck on the last one. I think the increase in difficult between each puzzle is complete fair and kept me wanting to keep going. I just wish there was a way to rotate the diorama to get a better view, since that's why I got stuck.

I like the hint system, which shows you what path is accessible based on the current configuration. But it was still difficult to see where you were actually going, since some paths were behind walls.

I also wish there had been actual letters to read to, to create a nice story.

It’s a free game consisting of 9 puzzles that I managed to complete in 49 minutes on my first play through. It’s cute and a good effort if you’re still new to making games. I’m not sure if I’d have given it the same score if it costed money. There is enough to improve on. Still, this little experiment will ensure I will follow what the developer does next. It will be interesting to see if the developer will improve and become more ambitious.
