“In terms of aesthetic and “comfy” vibes, this game absolutely nails it. I'm sure if Tumblr was still a thing, this would have had a rabid fanbase. What isn’t so great is the €18 price for a sub-two-hour game that’s…”

“Absolutely amazing and cute game! I loved how much customization there was for your smol mushroom character (especially with being able to change your mushroom cap), the details for the forest were very lush and…”
“Not a long game but still relaxing, cute, and fun. I recommend! Lots of exploring on your own. no map no direction just figuring out on your own. Makes it different than the rest!”

“Cute, short little cozy platformer. Movement is fun, dialogue is excellent. The hundo took me less than 2 hours.”
“This game was so much fun. I absolutely adore the art style and the message it sends at the end. #SoksSupremicy”
“adorable bite-sized collectathon with fun characters and silly dialogue. made me very happy :) can't say it's worth the £15 price tag just because it did take me less than two hours to 100% it, but definitely worth…”

“Ehhhhh I would never pay money for this game. Extremely short, fairly low quality, fetch quest after fetch quest, character physics kinda felt horrible, dialogue was probably written by a zoomer in their computer…”
“Cute and fun game! I enjoyed it a lot, the soundtrack is amazing and the characters are fun! There is no map so the only trouble I had was at the beginning because I had no clue where anything was, you get the hang of…”

“Mail Time is a cute platformer in a cozy world. It features a small collection of citizens all with their own quirks, and all needing mail sent to their neighbors. You'll be delivering love notes, noise complaints, cease and desists, shadowy intel from la résistance, and…”

There’s no stress, no fighting, just exploring, jumping around, gliding and helping everyone with their mail. The art style is…”
— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“So this was a fun time, but it's not a $20 fun time. I picked it up on sale for $7 and i wouldn't pay more than that. It's a cute time! I'd say its cozy aesthetic is its biggest strength, and its fine. But not more than that”
