I love this! :) The gameplay is really creative and fits the theme really well, you managed to fit a story and instructions all on one screen.
I am unfortunately not that great at driving :)

Very enjoyable game, controls got a bit clunky near the end, and it took me a while to figure out what the magnifying glass was for, but when I did find out, I was astonished at the amazing innovation of the idea. Too bad I couldn't rate based on innovation. However, still a great game.

I accidentally got the ratings categories mixed up. Woops.

Nice. The magnifying glass works pretty well and i flipped that jeep like a pro. I'd like to see you belly dance to this music for me next time

This Game Is Great :)

Super Fun Super Creative

Creative gameplay although a little hard at first!

sweenist 2014-12-09 03:49

Overall pretty interesting idea. I had a hard time controlling the vehicle, but I always have trouble with WASD movement. Nice graphics and theme! Very clever!

This game is really, really cool! This mechanic is awesome and I'd love to see it expanded upon in the future. Keep up the awesome work!

shivur 2014-12-09 06:16

Wow that's what we call a good game!

sorlok 2014-12-09 07:23

Loved the "zoom in" idea, and I feel like it really fit the theme perfectly (which is very tough given this theme). I felt like "space" should have been mapped to "flip the jeep", or maybe I just rolled it too much. :P

Would love to see this polished up and the concept extended upon!

mrbadivan 2014-12-09 11:18

Adorable, little bit hard to play, but nice idea and realization.

dieblume86 2014-12-09 11:25

Great idea, i like it.

Really original way to traverse a treasure map! A bit difficult to control the car across the river. Twitch is heavily influenced by crazy physics. I often pilot the car vertically, pretty fun to watch though:D Good game!

reyn 2014-12-09 11:47

The best use of the theme that I'v seen so far. I ran into a couple of situations where the jeep stopped responding after I flipped it. AFAIK there is no restrictions to using public domain models and texture for the Jam, your art is great. Music fit perfectly. Welcome back :P

tuism 2014-12-09 12:21

Really cool, interesting mechanic there, I like the way you actually made sure each part was necessary during the journey with different situations.

Was it fun? Not sure, but it was certainly memorable :)

The writing was also a great touch :)

manderxan 2014-12-09 12:22

Very nice! Interesting concept. Would make for an excellent mini-game in a larger game. Makes me think of Indiana Jones.

teamkwakwa 2014-12-09 15:26

Good idea, it was challenging to follow the car and also to follow the correct path. Music is a bit repetitive, but add to the mood. Good concept for the theme.

bushmango3 2014-12-10 02:26

Wow, this is an awesome concept! My son and I race. I happily won.

yarek 2014-12-10 07:44

I loved it! It's really original and amazingly well done! Congrats!! I almost fell down the clift, but I got my treasure :P

demy 2014-12-10 21:54

Spent half of game driving upside down. Looks like car feels good anyway. Smart idea with the magnifier and map.

coolway99 2014-12-11 00:24

Really neat entry! It suffers from what all the entries tend to suffer, which is repetitive sounds. Other than that, it's actually really neat. I love the concept, though the flip jeep button put me in a canyon wall, shot me out of it, and made me sink into the river.

newt_ 2014-12-11 00:30

WOW! Love love love! Fantastic job!

justinmullin 2014-12-11 00:36

You nailed the look of this game (the map, etc. are lovely), and I love the setup. The actual driving bit is maybe not so fun, but the concept is so novel I didn't really care. =)

murchurl 2014-12-11 00:37

Really cool idea!

hbocao 2014-12-11 00:45

This was pretty clever! Very, very unique. Awesome job!

voider 2014-12-11 00:55

This is a great idea! it fit the theme perfectly. Graphics and sound are awesome. Good job.

jacob-peltola 2014-12-11 01:41

Really cool idea, I understood what I had to do right away with little to no instruction, the truck flips a lot though the gameplay mechanic is stellar

skulioskarsson 2014-12-11 23:52

Well done, I really enjoyed it :)

vinull 2014-12-12 01:13

Love the idea, good job using the theme. I had trouble crossing the water - it seemed like I was supposed to go between the rocks, but I just sank if I tried. I ended up make it across the first river by riding on the rocks, but this was too difficult on the lake.

stmatn 2014-12-12 13:15

Very nice game!

The idea with the magnifying glass is really awesome!

The game would be even more awesome, if you could find a way to procedurally generate levels or provide more than one level. That would give it more replayability value, which would be great, since gameplay is really fun!

The physics could be improved a little bit, since the truck can sometimes drive on its side and made a huge jump one time, when i hit a wall ;)
It would be great, if you made the "flip jeep" button more visible. When the truck was unmovable one time, I got pretty mad, when I noticed the button after reloading the game-page (played the web version) :D Well, in fact thats not your fault, I just didn't scroll down to look for such a button. Maybe you can make any profit out of this info ;)

The graphics look very nice and the music is really fitting. That made the game even more enjoyable!

Great work!

warboys 2014-12-13 10:56

Very creative and unique, nice job with the idea. Of course, I went left because you told me not to ;)

pkenney 2014-12-15 06:17

Dang I got my truck stuck! Flipped it over once and was able to recover. Second time I really blew it and it got stuck forever, so I never made it to the end.

Very clever idea for the theme and a really nice feel to the presentation. Good job!

maesk 2014-12-22 20:48

Great idea! Reminds me of the lens of truth of Ocarina of Time... but with cars that can flip and drive while sideways :D Nice work!
