"Maily & Parcel" is a vertical platformer for iOS/Android/PC/Mac where you play as two postmen: Maily and Parcel McMailerson. As Maily and Parcel, you will rappel down walls vertically into the underground homes of small elephant-like creatures called Effelants. On your way, you must deliver envelopes full of LOVE to the sad Effelants in order to make them happy again and bring their color back. Your goal is to cheer all of the Effelants up and discover the mysterious source of their sorrow.
