Educational, but fun.

Hey guys! Glad to see the finished product after jamming at the MADE this weekend! =)

nolanlabs 2013-04-30 04:29

Great original concept. I laughed when the "chips" went by.

I really like the option to change the speed, it would've been way too slow for me otherwise.

foxor 2013-05-01 04:50

Clever, but the timing is off (yes, I know you can change it).

Watch out for those tyres!

Very well done game, pretty hard but interesting when english is not your mother language.

roguenoodle 2013-05-02 17:17

Clever - now I know why I stay off the road as much as possible. I'm really bad at it :P The option to speed up and slow down was a really nice touch.

I enjoyed the fact the game feels like it takes place on a road sign. I think I learned a little from this game. Good job.

i like the black, white and yellow scheme.

cyberyeti 2013-05-04 06:34

funny and fun to play, i really like the crashing animations and the sounds as well!

Quite a bizarre entry... I'm still trying to wrap my head around the concept of having to guess which lane you're supposed to be driving in by identifying the origin of the words describing the vehicle you're about to encounter. It's kinda hard/unfair for the non-English speaking people, don't you think? And what surprises me more is that you sound like English is not your mother tongue, either. Genius or madness? Kudos for thinking outside of the box, anyway.

I like the visual style of the game, and the happy inclusion of a speed control; otherwise I may have fallen asleep at the wheel, and you know how dangerous that can be, people! :)

Keep it up!

Funny game hahaaha

johnnysix 2013-05-05 01:28

I liked the graphical style - would've liked some more sound effects for the passing vehicles, some honking etc would have been cool - if you were in the wrong lane. :D

ashdnazg 2013-05-05 10:12

This is just plain awesome!

Or should I say splendid?

yselftool 2013-05-07 14:58

Not fun. Much too slow.

ethankennerly 2013-05-08 04:53

@YSelf Tool, Yeah some other players also found it too slow. You can press Shift+2 to double the speed (and keep pressing it). You can effectively consider Shift+2 and Shift+3 as shifting gears, to speed up or slow down as you like.

nimblegorilla 2013-05-08 05:04

Very neat idea. I had a hard time adjusting to going up or down instead of left/right. Crashing was fun too.

cakencode 2013-05-08 06:09

Amazing use of the road signs! Definitely minimal and resourceful :)

The speed up was awesome, felt like I was crushing other cars at hundreds of kph! Very fun!

joe40001 2013-05-08 11:29

Clever, I liked it.

leginar 2013-05-10 05:10

Man, my Canadian english forced me to think twice a couple of times :D. Very original concept. I had a lot of fun with this one, and will definitely recommend it to some friends :).

paulopn 2013-05-10 05:48

Interesting idea, I like it!

xanjos 2013-05-12 16:47

Rules can be a bit confusing at times but I loved the actual inspiration behind the concept and the overall gameplay was pretty addictive.

merkoth 2013-05-12 17:29

I really liked this one, very good job guys!

brassawiking 2013-05-12 18:20

Smart and novel idea. The graphical style is also very good and everything feels like a road sign.

snakeeater 2013-05-12 19:26

It's interesting that you decided to let the player change the speed manually, I found this decision a bit weird

miharbi 2013-05-12 20:13

really awesome game. I love the whole British and American word thing. Really clever and fun

mrshoestore 2013-05-12 20:55

i'm an american that watches too much british telly for this to not be confusing. i do think an outrun style POV would have been helpful. but this was still fun

dalbinblue 2013-05-12 21:10

Simple solid game. I think I need a speed somewhere in between the normal and next higher setting, as the default speed was too slow, but I did portly the next speed up (might be because I am tired though).

mesene 2013-05-12 22:05

graphics and gameplay fits the theme, first crash surprised me :)

minionstudios 2013-05-13 00:47

Nice! Um.

sebastian 2013-05-13 16:35

Love the idea! Graphics are cool and audio was alright, though I would have liked a few more sound effects.

eggdestroyer 2013-05-13 16:43

Wouldn't be fair to note "overall & fun" : as a non-native English speaker, I can't keep up. But I enjoyed the style of the game and its idea, both strange and interesting.

sylvain-p 2013-05-13 21:37

Strange and fun.

wonderwhy-er 2013-05-14 13:53

Lol, funny idea :D :D :D

martin_monosys 2013-05-17 22:00

I think it's rather cool, but also quite difficult... quite unbelievable difficult where it should not be, actually...! ;)

puccini 2013-05-18 19:17

I don't like it very much. It isn't the great game but it's funny.

gokuhd 2013-05-19 00:45

Very nice game, I really felt the impact of the collision when I lost haha nicely done.

deathray 2013-05-19 17:42

I was killed by fries on wheels! (score 291 on my first try) It's a very basic but fun game for 1 or 2 tries. Maybe you could make it so when you beat the main game it adds more countries!
