LONDON JERRY: FREELANCE MAILMAN
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
You're London Jerry, a freelance mailman. You have a crappy ship, a brain that makes you sick, and several hundred packages you gotta deliver all over the galaxy.
Back in the day, the government used to deliver the mail... but now, people like you have to do it. You'll navigate a hostile universe full of ass-flapping, organs-oozing, curse-spewing aliens who don't even say "thanks" when you deliver them the precious treats they ordered online.
Can you survive this horrible space future with any dignity? Smack that download button and find out, Jerry!!

This game is insanely good- I wish it was longer but thats not going to stop me from replaying. Do you think you will ever put it on steam? I can totally see this on steamdeck imo (Played it for my YT- going to send it to all my pals cause im obsessed with the art style, humor and just everything)
dude this game is seriously AMAZING and i gotta say i loved the soundtrack i really wish it was longer does anyone have a recommendation for games like this?
i’m just one of the devs and the others will have their own answers but i can say a few of the games that inspired me most when making london jerry, none of which are entirely like london jerry:
death stranding and FTL especially were top of mind for me while i was working on this. also found myself thinking a lot about a game called “Tradewinds” that came preinstalled on a palm pilot i got from my uncle after he didn’t want it anymore in 2005. also backpack hero, disco elysium and luck be a landlord
so much sauce and style. its like a veggie breakfast sausage covered in gravy. i love it
love this game
I’M SOBBING… they just wanted their child to be safe… Their horrible, toilet-melting, cargo-hold destroying child…
This was a delight to play! I really like how the need for fuel and brain juice adds extra tension to your constantly decreasing credits account. I was able to keep London Jerry’s brain wet in both playthroughs 👍
congratulations on your consistently moisturized brain!!!
Is it only one round? My friend played it at Glitch City told me to DL it but I wish it was longer! Incredible writing and art and everything came together so well
glad you liked it!! we made 90% of it in about 72 hours so yes it’s pretty short for now. do not worry though the game of the year edition + Lunar New Year DLC pack is already in development, it will add up to 7 minutes of additional gameplay and it will cost $69 dollars
nice
gives me an error on Linux (installed via itch app):
incredible bug: it’s actually not because you’re on linux, i assume you’re from somewhere that uses the decimal comma? this is a bonkers .NET internationalization gotcha that we fell into accidentally, we’ll fix it soon. sorry!
yay! (─‿─) ran it like this:
(my system default is
ru_RU.UTF-8
, no idea why it’s a comma)yay!! glad you got it working ^^ hope you enjoy!!
lmao seeing you fix Linux (sorta) bugs in the comments pushed me over from 'this looks cool' to 'lets actually try it'
Just uploaded a patch that should for real fix this. Thanks for the report!
Oooh, is this London Jerry, the Definitive Edition?!
this is our Improved Jerry and it is better than the first time you may have seen it at Glitch City last month!
