The look is awesome, the idea is really cool, and the collision feedback is spot on. Unfortunately, turning the car was like insane. If I even tapped the key it would flip around like crazy, and that made it really difficult for me to get the hang of it.
Oh, you used Box2D, no wonder. :-) I personally find that using physics simulators for most games makes it look totally awesome but way hard to control. In your case that seems to be what happened.
This is...surprisingly good. Like classic GTA, only as played by the Gibson mainframe in Hackers. Maybe it's just me, but I can't finish Level 5 -- but I spent like 10 minutes trying, which ought to tell you something.
really cool, you managed to do lots of stuff I wish I could have done. as for driving the truck into pile-ups, thats awesome :D
i didn't mind the controls as much as it seems most people did. I agree they could use a little tweaking though at higher speeds. Loved the vector look and it was refreshing to play a compo driving game with good collision detection. It was really fun to ram other cars and muscle way through. Loved the nice touch of getting the trailer attached mission. Gave up on level 5 though. I think there is a lot of promise for more fun if a few more elements were added. As is, it is still a bit in tech demo realm even with the missions. Good things that would help would be more interactions with the other populace / cars and maybe some more antogonistic elements. Great job though for an LD game!
I adore the look of this game. The world in general (streets AI etc.) is all superb too, and the game is pretty fun to play too.
I did however find the car controls almost unbearably twitchy, not sure if I was doing something wrong.. Even so, a sweet, impressive game.
This one I realy liked! It was fun to have to switch on a different vehicles. Although I couldnt finish the 5th level (took all yellow-point but couldnt activated the red one!?) it was real fun! Good job!
Extremely good, I fell love with the looks the moment I saw it in motion.
When I got the chance to play as the truck, I was like "yeeeey". Nice game indeed.
Nice! I particularly like how the truck can jackknife itself into the streets.
I got stuck on level 5 like everyone else. I kind of wonder if it was backwards - did I need to get red before I got yellow? I thought that was how other missions were, but since it said "get all the data and deliver it", it seemed like yellow was the data, since there was a lot of it.
Really cool in every way except the controls. INSANE steering. If the steering was about 1/4 as fast, it would be a lot more fun. Of course, it would also help if there were some way to fail (I imagine the timed mission can be failed, I didn't want to find out!), but it was nice to just jam through cars with no repercussions, too... really cool all around.
I really liked the collision detection and response. Crashing through traffic was great. The visuals worked quite well with this. The controls worked well at low speeds, but got really out of hand at high speeds. Maybe it would help to scale the steering sensitivity down as the speed goes up.
The perspective was... odd. I'm not sure if I liked it or not.
Pushing other cars around was fun, and the trailer was a nice touch, but beyond that the goals weren't quite enough to hold my interest.
On level 5 the level wouldn't end no matter how many times I drove over the red target.
I liked: style, experience
Could be improved: Collision detection at the "stations" didn't work for me
stuck on level 5
I loved how the car whent out of control at high speeds.:D Lovely game.
Really cool graphic style, worked really well. Interesting game, though the controls were really tough to get a hand of, just way too tight.
Overall, quite complete. Drive control frustrated me - I was hoping to really get on a roll/momentum. Still, really cool old school/classic style.
