Remember the joys of Paperboy from back in the day? Fancy a cyberpunky styled game that uses that classic as inspiration, dropping in some narrative for good measure? You’ve pretty much found it in Death Noodle Delivery.
A cyberpunked Paperboy?
If you’re old enough to remember the joys of Paperboy, then we would suspect you’ll be heading up the right street with Death Noodle Delivery. The creation of Troglobytes Games, Tiny Pixel and Stupidi Pixel, this is a cyberpunk styled arcade game in which we join the life of Jimmy.
Sounds fine so far, yeah? Well, Jimmy is far from your average Joe, and after finding himself walked over by his new boss, you’ll need to help him deliver noodles to as many customers as he can, all whilst reality falls around him. The best bit? Those deliveries will take place on Jimmy’s finest hoverboard; a hoverboard that is upgradeable, no less.
Priced at £4.19, Death Noodle Delivery takes you through Jimmy’s last days, as he hits the mean streets, taking in a gritty, neon-fuelled world. It’s here where the very worst aspects of humanity are found, but when the population come calling for their noodles, it’s those streets which must be tamed.
Scooting around on a little hoverboard, chucking noodles this way and that is just the start of Death Noodle Delivery. There’s some narrative to enjoy too, plenty of secrets, survival aspects, and more.
