This game is incredible! Love the crazy amount of bonuses :)

nihilocrat 2012-12-17 05:19

Get the car on its roof by turning sharply while going fast, then see what happens when you hit W.

cthu 2012-12-17 17:07

This is an awesome prototype, had lot of fun. Polish it and release!

edocentrique 2012-12-17 17:15

It could be a lot more fun with sounds !

matthias_zarzecki 2012-12-17 17:49

Awesome idea! Love the flood of popups :)

Did you make the driving-engine yourself or is that a plugin? (also remeber to upload the source, so the game counts :)

uncade 2012-12-17 18:24

I spent the first day trying to make the driving engine, but it would always freak out and not work correctly, inspiring the idea to just run with the wonky physics with explosions. I ended up using the driving code from the Unity Car tutorial, which is available here:
http://u3d.as/content/unity-technologies/car-tutorial/1qU

I included the source in the Windows and Mac downloads, uploading a source only download now.

karsithe 2012-12-17 22:07

Hahaha, very cool. Unfortunately I ended up with a massively negative score but I like the game, especially the little touches like the mushrooms.

aa 2012-12-18 01:00

So many bonuses. Wonderful. I like to think of myself driving a matchbox car, and stabbing the feet of those giant people.

wisegamer 2012-12-18 01:18

hahaha just run everyone over! very funny

2darray 2012-12-18 02:04

Hey man, glad to see this came out well! All the bonuses are awesome, and this is just too funny. Great work!

zeh 2012-12-18 02:06

Reminds me of Stunts.

cassio 2012-12-18 02:35

It's clunky. Carmageddon style.

01010111 2012-12-18 03:06

You know how I feel about this game. GOTYAY. Nice going man!

raroadkill 2012-12-18 03:10

Ha very fun. Would like to see more added onto this one

ripter 2012-12-18 03:37

My first thought, "this looks like Katamari", was surprised to learn about Noby Noby Boy.

Fun game. The car got out of control really quickly. The second time I played it my car just spun in the air forever.

teamtibbles 2012-12-18 04:30

Wow! I love the graphics in this! I think it came out polished indeed!

claite 2012-12-18 05:26

I liked the idea! Pretty fun to play a game where being completely crazy gets you points!

gdateam 2012-12-18 05:58

amazing lovely fantastic very good game

loggiant 2012-12-18 06:21

I loved how goofy and crazy all the bonuses are! My only problem was if I managed to flip the car I would just explode and fly through the air forever, but resetting fixed that right up!

dmitrix 2012-12-18 06:24

Lol, this game is fun.

evilseanbot 2012-12-18 09:56

I don't think physics works like that BUT I'M MAKING A MILLION POINTS I DON'T CARE

monxcleyrproductions 2012-12-18 10:10

I have over a million points right now AND IT ISN'T STOPPING.

shaneshanekavanagh 2012-12-18 11:16

Great craic!

kwl_tw 2012-12-18 13:33

This is so crazy! haha

peping 2012-12-18 13:38

Simple idea, had fun. :)

degtyarev 2012-12-18 13:51

Bonuses rock! But it's pretty hard to play with it's crazy physics

spierek 2012-12-18 17:36

Hilarious as hell, great job :D Hitting the mine is the best thing.

schwiggy 2012-12-18 17:55

I thought I was a good driver... but now I'm not sure

otus 2012-12-18 18:25

Whoa! This game is crazy! Hahahahaha.
Really, it's pretty good. I like the whole "crazy driver" thing, it's funny and the stupid amount of bonuses in the screen makes this game even crazier. It reminds me of Katamari Damacy!

But there's things that need improvement: Some sounds would be nice. Really simple ones, that you can find for free on the internet would definitely make the game 200% more fun, a nice song would do the trick even.
The graphics are okay, but then I'm reminded that this game was made in two days by one guy and then the graphics are pretty awesome.
Also the land mine kind of breaks the game in a sense, but it's all good. That's what the reset button is for.
I don't really see the theme much in it, but I suppose the Noby Noby Boy homage makes up for it.

Good job man, and great game!

alwaysinbeta 2012-12-18 18:27

Great fun. The bonus gfx is awesome. The physics is bonkers! Just needs sound to be 'finished' imho.

davidemo89 2012-12-18 18:52

Bonsues! haha

bradleypollard 2012-12-18 20:23

No points for the goat, what is this?! Game is pretty hilarious, although you can get stuck upside down in a flipping loop quite easily. People were great!

waveon 2012-12-18 20:56

*flips upside down*
*spins crazy through the air*
*text spamming the screen*
Me: "WHAT'S GOING OOOOON?! :D"

Seriously though, it's quite a fun game and concept. It's kind of annoying you flip on your side quite easily. And when you do, you shoot through in the air getting a **** ton of bonuses. While it's fun that this happens, it's not that fun that it happens every ten seconds, so you should tweak it so you don't flip over THAT easy.

cosine 2012-12-18 21:20

Wow, this is tons of fun to screw around in! Fits the theme in a way I didn't quite expect. Only complaint from me is that the graphics, even though intentionally simple, were just too simple. Also, becoming small and crashing into a car could send you through the ground of the world (http://puu.sh/1Csox). Otherwise, an excellent entry.

josriley 2012-12-18 21:27

Wish there were sounds and a few less bugs, but I really love how you placed the scores on the screen. Great work.

cosine 2012-12-18 21:28

Actually, collisions are just buggy with large/small cars in general (http://puu.sh/1CsEq).

cakencode 2012-12-18 21:46

Hahaha, I was having some fun until I hit another car in a head-on collision and fell out of the world. Then it was an air bonus paradise.

Fun game. Simplistic graphics were fitting, it would be an altogether different experience with realistic graphics. The physics were a bit off (getting onto ramps is tricky!) but didn't take too much away from the experience.

Great use of the theme! :D

tcho_i_er 2012-12-18 22:07

Not bad but i think it's too much crazy xD
I couldn't play for like 5 mn since the because of the car barel rolling

deathbysnail 2012-12-18 22:11

Loved it. No idea what was going on.

boarderboy67 2012-12-18 23:06

ummmm. ok AMAZING game

indiewithaside 2012-12-19 00:47

Fun concept, love some of the weird bonuses you can get! Vehicle mechanics took a little getting used to but over all a solid entry!

greenpixeldev 2012-12-19 04:37

Good job! Felt like I was playing Grand Theft Auto with a dash of Tony Hawk :D

egonsguineapig1 2012-12-19 04:45

Hell of a good time playing this one.

barigorokarl 2012-12-19 06:41

24 billion points!!11!1 Gut stuck on the diamond, though ;-)

jerrre 2012-12-19 08:56

Fun! I think I found a goat

The explosions and all take a bit too long, I spent more time waiting flying controlless through the air then driving, but funny game

chrismwaite 2012-12-19 09:02

Fun game. I like how the people continue to walk even when they're knocked over - very funny. Had some weird clipping issues but overall its a nice concept (definitely feeling the Noby Noby boy influence in the visuals)

ltyrosine 2012-12-19 10:09

I liked it!

bigbadwofl 2012-12-19 13:39

Haha love it. Carmagedooooooon! The score/text makes it quite funny.

dremelofdeath 2012-12-19 13:51

The bonuses really made this game. It felt like a strange cross between Second Life and Toy Commander, which I didn't even know was possible. I was sad that even though there were bonuses for tailgating and even your car exploding, that there wasn't a single bonus for crashing into other cars. Fun game though!

bentog 2012-12-19 16:07

This sounded like a good game, but I couldn't play it, it was REALLY buggy. I started driving and the my car started flying and spinning crazily... I'm sorry, it's just so buggy it's unplayable.

finalmirage 2012-12-19 16:48

Haha, cool concept! I ended up getting shot up into the air and never came back down and I some of the different popups were pretty funny.

dek 2012-12-19 21:56

Loved it, funny :D

zatyka 2012-12-20 00:07

I enjoyed myself quite a bit. This isn't typical, I liked that there wasn't any goals, and I just had to figure things out myself. High on the fun factor.

hissssssssss 2012-12-21 14:16

Even after I "finished" everything (hit everything, made all the jumps etc.), I still wanted to keep driving around running over people and smashing things. Does that make me terrible? Something this simple shouldn't be this fun.

I left to go get soup for a minute and came back to find the car in a never-ending explosion loop in the middle of the sky. Probably a bug?

garygreen 2013-01-02 22:17

Chaotic and fun. :-)

derosa 2013-01-04 22:11

Wow, found the goat, but took me a while as I kept on bouncing around!
