The Round

Ride your delivery round tossing papers onto porches and putting one through every canceller's window.

How to play

Pedal down a busy street delivering newspapers. Land a paper on each subscriber's porch and aim for the windows of the houses that cancelled, all while dodging traffic and hazards.

• Steer along the road and control your speed
• Throw papers onto subscriber porches for points
• Break the windows of non-subscribers
• Avoid obstacles and oncoming hazards

Controls

• Desktop: arrows or A / D to steer, W / S or Up / Down for speed, Space to throw a paper
• Phone & tablet: tap to throw and steer (touch supported)

Tips & strategy

• Slow down before a tricky porch so your throw lands cleanly
• Punish cancellers early before the street gets crowded
• Keep a buffer of papers and watch for sudden obstacles

Origins

The Round recreates the suburban delivery game of 1985 — pedal your route tossing papers onto subscribers' porches (and through the non-subscribers' windows) while dodging cars, dogs and sprinklers, then run a bonus obstacle course. A wry slice of arcade Americana.
