Love the art style!

Enjoyed the art, and the radio joke on the way in was fun. Couldn't seem to get into the bedroom at the motel, so didn't get very far.

Like the pen-and-paper style artwork. Great job!

Couldn't seem to get past the motel either but i like what you did with the cars and the radio joke :)

endesga 2014-04-28 02:31

The art is pretty cool! I really enjoyed this game :D

zacaj 2014-04-28 02:31

couldn't get into the room

louiscarl 2014-04-28 02:33

Thanks to all the comments! The game was unbeatable due to a change I made just before submitting :). I fixed it now. Thanks for the warning everybody!

The music was pretty okay but overall found the game lacked real purpose.

sfbtom 2014-04-28 03:14

Very striking art, great stuff. Really liked the idea too!

soupy 2014-04-28 03:36

The art style and parallax scrolling were very nice. I liked the narrative style of floating text which integrated physical movement and narrative development. The enemies killed me instantly each time I walked outside, so I didn't see much of the game besides the intro.

It felt like it was going somewhere.

neonlare 2014-04-28 04:18

Digging the art style, couldn't get very far sadly with this.

alvarop 2014-04-28 04:25

Loves the art style and the story telling. Weird gameplay tho.

hyperbox 2014-04-28 04:43

The intro was very entertaining!

gafblizzard 2014-04-28 04:46

Some minor notes: There's a typo (instead of "magnificent") in the sky text, and if you press left/right/left/right the car seems to jump ahead.

I couldn't get Z to jump either inside or outside of the car. I also got stuck after sleeping in a building and nothing seemed to let me back out. Neat style, but seems a bit buggy right now.

louiscarl 2014-04-28 05:17

Thanks for your feedback everyone! I had to make the change for this Z issue. Unfortunately, it looks like it's due to keyboard configurations... I'm using the 'My game is unbeatable' exception again to change Z to SPACEBAR. SPACEBAR is the same everywhere, I hope :).

Went into town. Saw that it became night. Got outta Dodge as fast as possible 10/10 would play again.

slader16 2014-04-28 06:11

I loved the art style!

techblogogy 2014-04-28 06:37

Oh, wow! Just wow! (In good way)

jacob-peltola 2014-04-28 06:58

trippy, but unnervingly enjoyable and interesting.. I like how you made the player engage in mystery or rather decide to leave the town at any time.

micdoodle8 2014-04-28 07:50

Awesome, love the cartoony art style!

orangepascal 2014-04-28 08:08

I think I'm missing some gameplay elements here? As others said, the radio joke was great.. just finding trouble to see the gameplay and theme elements in it ;( sorry

qntnm 2014-04-28 08:10

Really nicely done, and some good humor in there too!

celt 2014-04-28 08:28

The joke at the beginning with the car is brilliant in a way. Sadly it can't keep up this originality and humor throughout. Instant kill madness!!!

kimba 2014-04-28 09:18

I need more action, still the game is ok.

lars-faust 2014-04-28 09:30

"it looks like somebody stops frequently on Main street for no reason"

10/10.

puckers 2014-04-28 09:31

I love the way you did the text in the sky! Very cool. And the art style is unique I like it

tchem 2014-04-28 11:53

The artwork is great.... the game idea is cool and intelligent,, congrats man!!!

otrorainteractivo 2014-04-28 14:58

Cool graphics. Simple and cool

elforama 2014-04-28 16:28

Loved the humor in this game. Great job!

reinkout 2014-04-28 16:39

The ending dialogue was great! :)

atlantian 2014-04-29 09:58

A lot of good humor

mollymus 2014-04-29 12:21

I loved the initial text where the radio speakers said 'it looks like someone's stopping all the time on the main road' or something similar - extra humor points for details like that!:D

binary_girl 2014-04-29 16:12

loved the art ..music was good too :)

waveformmodulations 2014-05-08 03:58

like the unique style of the art for sure, the sky & mountains are cool, I like the way the perspective changes as you drive or run, fun & original.

king_mew 2014-05-12 00:39

Very interesting art style. I didn't really know what to do. I liked the joke though :P

zccc 2014-05-15 22:26

I was expecting more from this, but it was pretty cool :)
