Too buggy to play unfortunately. My biggest problem is I got stuck at a rest stop or whatever, text ran off the screen and I never figure out how to leave.
Well, that was... really boring. I don't think it ran fast enough on my m achine though. The car were moving backwards,the controls were uncomfortable. Better luck next time.
Drove down the rode for what seemed like forever. Decided to drive off the road when I was down to 1000 left, because I was bored. Died instantly. I don't doubt something interesting would have happened when I stopped, but it took way too long, and I decided not to do it again. I'd prefer if the distance you have to go at the start was more like... 1500 instead of 10000.
I really liked the title screen and graphics, but it was hard to understand how to play which makes it difficult to assess it fairly.
I like the use of the theme though, post apocalypse and roads blends well and is interesting.
Good technical accomplishment, I think it was a pretty ambitious concept...
Apparently, this application's side-by-side configuration is incorrect. The front-to-back configuration must've been okay though, because it didn't mention that. Nonetheless, I couldn't run it.
said configuration was incorrect and wouldn't run on windows
it's obviously unfinished and very buggy (we suddently die, or see unexpected things, text goes beyond the screen...) so that we can't play normally for more than 2min without having to reload the game. but if it were more polished it would certainly have given a very good result. i like the photos and the ability to save the game, but the rest is not that good
Seems to require debug versions of msvc90 runtime, and possibly other things as well. The application configuration error comes from a bad or missing manifest, I guess.
Didn't run.
graphics were good. concept sounded cool. the gameplay I could figure out was really boring though. I was very confused from the start. Figured out on map you click the mouse to initiate move and that then it goes to zoom in on road. Then on the road you use the keys. My car had a gun on it but I couldn't fire it. It also was very slowly paced and having to travel 10000 units took a couple minutes. I stuck it out only to come to rest on the map in the dirt somewhere south of Shell City. I then clicked Shell City because I really wanted to see something and the car headed north and then zoomed in and said '10000' slow grueling units and I quit... ;) Basically needs some major pacing and gameplay adjustments I'd say. Also, maybe a help screen or something about what you are supposed to do and the controls. Once again, great job on the graphics!
