About Ravenhaul

Step into the whimsical world of Ravenhaul, where feathers fly and parcels soar in the queen’s high-stakes, high-altitude mail service! As the newest recruit to the kingdom's most coveted bird-powered delivery crew, your task is no simple case of send-and-receive. Instead, you’re thrust into a lively platforming adventure where precision, quick thinking, and razor-sharp reflexes mean the difference between glowing praise from Queen Isadora III or feathers truly ruffled.

Ravenhaul merges vibrant indie art with tight, challenging platform gameplay, offering a unique twist on classic delivery quests. Traverse a bustling bird county headquarters, managing unpredictable requests from quirky patrons and performing gravity-defying leaps from window ledges and perches. Every contract is a race against the clock, as you skillfully navigate multi-level mailrooms, grab packages from the window, and coordinate with your feathery workforce to send mail across the kingdom.

Expect exhilarating moments as you weave between obstacles, avoid environmental hazards, and optimize your postal workflow. This isn’t just about speed – resourcefulness and strategic delegation let you rack up bigger rewards and earn those much-needed kernels! Whether expertly tapping out commands with WASD or Arrow Keys or timing the perfect Spacebar jumps, Ravenhaul constantly challenges you to out-smart, out-fly, and out-deliver.

With endearing pixel visuals and a playful soundtrack, Ravenhaul taps into retro platform nostalgia while building a fresh mailroom mania that’s tough to put down. Fans of hard platformers and indie gaming will relish the high skill ceiling; every flawless delivery feels like a true triumph. Do you have what it takes to make the queen proud, satisfy demanding clients, and become a postal legend? Log in, suit up, and join the avian action — Ravenhaul awaits!

How to Play

Start your Ravenhaul journey by grabbing a delivery item from the bustling window area—this is your first piece of outgoing mail. Use the WASD or Arrow Keys to gracefully maneuver through the kingdom’s intricate platform headquarters; Spacebar lets you jump over platforms and obstacles, while E interacts with objects and birds. Once you’ve obtained an item, locate one of your trusty avian staffers in the mailroom, approach them, and press E to hand over the parcel for dispatch.

Got too many packages or need to switch priorities? Q lets you drop your current item, freeing hands and allowing for on-the-fly strategy swaps. After a successful delivery, don’t forget to collect your hard-earned kernels—press R to receive payment from delighted clients. Ramp up your efficiency by accepting new contracts from various patrons; the more you juggle, the better the rewards and the more frenetic the action!

As delivery demands increase, so does the difficulty: moving platforms, tight timing, and multiple birds vying for your attention. Chart the optimal paths, avoid sudden hazards, and experiment with the controls to figure out advanced moves. Keep an eye on the environment—hidden routes and sneaky shortcuts reward those willing to experiment.

Newcomers should focus on mastering single deliveries before taking on multiple contracts simultaneously. Coordination is the key to postal glory, so don’t be afraid to pace your actions and plan ahead. Every successful run brings you one step closer to becoming bird county’s MVP mail handler!

Tips & Tricks

Prioritize deliveries by distance—complete farthest contracts first to optimize time and travel.
Use the Q key to quickly drop items when overloaded or to change delivery priority without penalty.
Study the level layout—hidden shortcuts and alternate routes can vastly improve delivery speed.
Coordinate with birds strategically; assign tasks based on proximity to reduce back-and-forth.
Perfect your jumps! Platform spacing and timing require precision, especially during later, harder stages.
Don’t hoard contracts—taking too many at once can overwhelm even the most skilled players.
Listen to audio cues and watch for visual hints; they often reveal easier paths or warn of hazards.
