Quite nice 3D graphics for a jam game, and it has a good arcade-y feel to it. Unfortunately I keep getting a bug where the jeep will get stuck and can only spin on the spot. Otherwise good job, especially on the models.
Getting stuck is very annoying indeed and it's a bug I couldn't get out in time. You can, however unstuck yourself by using the Nitro boost (shift).
Jeep handling felt kinda weird. Fun though. Would've been nice with to have more sound effects.
Controls are weird and invisible walls are too close to the base. Got me a while to figure that I shouldn't go forward. It looks impressive, if a bit to grey. In a Mad Max-like setting you could go all over the place with extravagant vehicle design, seems like a lost opportunity. But the way it is, with fixed controls and level design it could be a solid arcade shooter. Just drop the idea of people playing it together on the same keyboard and mouse. Even if there is another person around, it's not very comfortable.
The controls are very counter-intuitive and bothersome; in most games you have either up/down/left/right on WSAD and the direction changes instantly, or front/back/l. turn/r. turn on WSAD and the direction changes over time. Here it's up/down/left/right *and* the direction changes over time, which makes the vehicle a pain to control since you can't just make a delicate turn left or right. That's particularly annoying when I tried to grab power-ups.
Too bad, because the game, while very unoriginal, could be more fun to play otherwise; I'd like to see that rainbow/aurora upgrade in action. ^^"
Cool graphics and setup. Driving controls definitely need refinement, and maybe a little better map system. If this was a little more tightened up control-wise, it could be a real blast to play. Keep up the good work!
Nice entry! It played okay, though the controls and jeep movement was a bit weird. Nice graphics for the short time span, too.
Very funny, please fix controls :)
I found the controls to be really strange for the vehicle.
Otherwise, graphics were nice, and the gunning was cool.
It was kinda repetitive, though
I made a gameplay video of this:

Very good graphics and nice idea, also I like the name 'den of thieves'
