Hah! Great job again guys! This was pretty funny, I had a good laugh flipping the car over and sending all of the objects flying around the room :)

spartanicecream 2014-12-09 04:34

You did a pretty good job. Had a nice and silly concept and was decently fun to play!

daviosmash 2014-12-09 05:36

I have no idea what the hell I just played, but I sure did play it for a long time. Would have liked it to perhaps fix itself when it was stuck dealing with some odd physics so I could keep doing whatever it was I was doing, but good game.

lexgear 2014-12-09 05:37

This was interesting to say the least :P Falling off the level by the way.. pretty funny.

tater_hater 2014-12-09 06:25

Wow This was an awesome concept

nzgiije 2014-12-09 12:49

Didn't think that it will be so fun looking how all this stuff flying around the room. It's real 5D.

delahee 2014-12-09 12:51

Very fun :)

lintfordpickle 2014-12-09 12:52

Great idea and was fun to play!

oh_andrej 2014-12-09 12:53

Great idea, really had a laugh with this one. Don't want to know what a force feedback room like that costs.

If you ever decide to expand on the concept, make sure to implement Oculus Rift support :P

ysty 2014-12-09 13:13

Really good. I love the concept and it's executed really well.

arcturusdeluxe 2014-12-09 17:07

I like it! Pretty funny idea. Nice take on the theme. Quite well polished for what it is, as well.

hoqjed 2014-12-10 03:13

yes! great humor with this one.

ferraware 2014-12-10 03:13

Wow, pretty innovative and well implemented, the sounds and the graphics are excellent for a 72 hour game! The only thing that bugged me was that the controls felt a little unresponsive, but aside that, it's brilliant!

karlipoppins 2014-12-10 03:18

This was one of the better surprise of this LD for me. Everything was top-notch. Congrats

justinmullin 2014-12-10 03:22

Hah! This is terrific, and oh-so-very clever. Love it!

davient 2014-12-10 03:25

Love the Theme! But you $#?!% my living room is an absolute mess now! Would love to play this with some levels and races :) Also feels like the furntiure impacting the walls also moves the car? Which feels counter intuitive. Great job guys! Where can I buy furniture that survives that much impact force!? :p

legacycrono 2014-12-10 04:04

This is the Goat Simulator of the driving... uhh, simulation simulators genre, I guess?
I couldn't stop laughing the entire time. The car physics are a mess, but it adds to the hilarity of the whole. I saw the game title and thought you'd have implemented some kind of force feedback, but I did not expect that. Well done!

diegomustache 2014-12-10 19:00

Entire game on one screen might be a stretch, but it was clever none the less! Great job! Was quite funny when I first pushed W and everything in the room fell over. I did not expect that. Very nicely done!

matthewdpace 2014-12-10 19:05

This looks soooo good but it won't run on my laptop. Not sure if it's because it's linux or if it's some other reason, but the Unity web player isn't loading or anything :(

kumoi 2014-12-10 21:33

My apologies, I will see if I can make a port to Linux since it does not have a webplayer (unless you use a workaround). I will also be releasing an Oculus Rift version soon for those who have one.

Remember, Use the F1-F3 keys to teleport or re-spawn your car if it gets flipped or falls off the world.

el-pepi 2014-12-10 22:55

Very creative. Funny idea!

pjimmy 2014-12-10 23:00

very clever game, well done :D

ajayajayaj 2014-12-10 23:54

Very fun!

warboys 2014-12-11 10:13

Haha that was pretty good, loved the physics in the room and the game

tsabanski 2014-12-12 00:43

I really enjoyed breaking your game, Kumo. :) It was one of the best experiences I've had thusfar during LD.

This game did a couple of this really really well. It definitely SURPRISED me, when the game started doing its thing and it surprised me even more when I fell through the terrain and I reached terminal velocity. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. :D

Really good 3D graphics for a weekend, too! Simple, not overdone and lots of objects to witness spinning around.

Great job! :)

frenchie 2014-12-12 08:55

Really nice entry! Love the concept and it works really well! I had a lot of fun trying to drive up the mountains/hills. It bugged me that the left/right physics were flipped though (i.e. when you turn right everything should go left, not right!)

kumoi 2014-12-12 15:58

Yeah, I corrected that and fixed a lot of the problems with the level. I should be releasing a "post-jam" update later, I just need to make sure people don't review it instead of what we were able to complete in 72 hours.

ossi 2014-12-12 23:14

That was really funny! Great use of the theme and I totally did not expect that to happen. Very clever, very innovative! Good job!

thopis 2014-12-13 09:42

Very good concept!adore the physics inside the room!cool idea!

wer2chosen 2014-12-13 17:51

This was real original, loved walking around trying to figure it out. Then seeing the e to play game. I loved how crashing also impacted the room the gamer is in. Great idea, game.

voxel 2014-12-15 13:57

I will not lie, I was sad that I could not play the Rubiks Cube.

This was great. I escaped track one and was hoping to find my house and drive in through the wall, but unfortunately was unable to locate my abode.

hissssssssss 2014-12-15 14:07

This is the perfect example of humor through gameplay. I don't know how you came up with this, but it's a real treat. Well done!

killedbyapixel 2014-12-16 01:47

I like the twist of recreating car physics in the room objects. The driving physics could use some work, though it's easy enough to drive around the track. Would be nice to see better tweaked physics, multiple gears, e-brake that lets you drift easier, also bumping into walls needs to be more forgiving. Also adding lap time scoring that tracks the fastest lap would be a quick way to hook up more gameplay. Maybe even throw in some speed boosters or hazards on the track. It would also be cool to see more of the meta game elements, like maybe after you are playing for a while you have to eat, use the restroom, or answer the phone.

chuigum 2014-12-16 02:36

Great graphics, and great physics. I liked the concept, good job!

deyteris_team 2014-12-16 13:56

I had a lot of fun playing it!

maesk 2014-12-22 20:09

Whoa whoa, this 4D TV is awesome! It almost felt real! And this table sure floats like paper, I should buy a heavier one.

Excellent work! I burst laughing easily with every turn of the car :D Even when I jumped outside the track!

benmcnelly 2014-12-22 20:43

Loved this on the Oculus, that sense of presence helps you get into it.

HelkeGames 2014-12-22 20:46

Awesome concept! Well done!

job_ 2014-12-29 19:57

Wow, what an awesome idea!
Perfect theme implementation.
A few improvements would've been nice, like not-linear gravity of the car(thought you play a game in a game, which doesn't need to apply to the world's rules), and an button so you can reset everything back onto its position, without resetting the car too.
You can escape the map easily(like in big rigs, just drive), and when that happens, the wheel sounds goes crazy(it keeps getting higher)(like in big rigs, but then creapier), and the objects fly around like crazy.
That said, the game has many features. It's actually fun to break the game, unlike most.
Graphics are nice, sounds, are pretty. Maybe some music.

This is probably the most "satisfying" game of this whole LD, great work!

gamepopper 2014-12-29 20:01

God that was funny, seeing everything fly around because of your actions. Brilliant stuff. :D

gallerdude 2014-12-29 20:18

Genius, hilarious, awesome.

sk16games 2014-12-29 20:24

Very fun to play, love all the nice graphics and psysics :D

os_reboot 2014-12-29 21:02

This is easily one of my favorites this year. Oculus Rift, you must make that happen ;D

okkolobr 2014-12-29 21:38

I'm used to shout after my cat who sit in front of the TV when I play, but it's the first time I have the same issue with a table !

It was fun and good take on the theme.

atomicvikings 2014-12-29 21:41

Really nice game and funny. xD xD Great Job.

ethproductions 2014-12-29 21:48

That's just awesome. A simulation several times over! :) I had an awesome time driving around the track, up the walls and into the void of nothingness. 5 stars all round. The most innovative game I've seen this LD, and maybe the most innovative game I've ever seen :)

harsayhd 2014-12-29 22:02

Genius idea. I wish I had oculus rift ;<

gins 2014-12-29 23:17

When I was a little kid and got the N64 rumble pack, I was worried that this would be the effect on it so I was afraid of using it and my parents had to convince me that it's not going to be like this. (I blame the over-the-top commercials on this one.)

chaoseed 2014-12-30 13:59

This is hilarious. :D
