Parcel Corps

Parcel Corps is an arcade game in which we play as a bicycle courier. It was developed by Billy Goat Entertainment, also known for Her Majesty's Spiffing and Supermarket Shriek.

Plot

Parcel Corps is set in the fictional city of New Island, where three courier corporations compete for the title of the city's most profitable company. Things become more complicated when a fourth player joins the battle - Rich Villain, the CEO of the oil company Polar Petroleum PLC, whose ambitions may ruin the plans of the remaining three.

We play as a bicycle courier working for one of the companies, tasked with delivering packages, letting our employers dominate the local market through our tough yet enjoyable work.

Mechanics

Parcel Corps is a third-person game (TPP). The gameplay creatively combines mechanics reminiscent of Crazy Taxi to those from cycling simulators, such as Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX. The city of New Island is wide-open, consisting of nine diverse regions traversible by bike. Our main objective is quickly delivering packages containing important documents, delicious food or shopping products.

Time is crucial, so as we're zooming down the pavements, streets and rooftops we must constantly look for shortcuts. Along the way we can also perform tricks, use ramps, slide under obstacles or ride on walls.

Technical aspects

Parcel Corps makes use of a colorful, cartoonish artstyle, fitting right in with the game's light-hearted atmosphere.
