Great interpretation of the theme. I liked the style of it as well, and the car handled surprisingly well. Well done!

If i could marry a game, it would not be this one, it would be the Garry's Mod, but this is good too

I really liked the concept! The police were just way too difficult to avoid to get the most out of the repair/refuel game concept. Love the perspective, its a shame 1920x1080 wasnt the default resolution, might be worth fixing this as an alteration as it changes the gameplay by giving the player a better view of their surroundings. Awesome work! :)

I found it quite fun. Didn't like the music choice all that much but it has an interesting perspective relative to the controls. Well Done :D

flaid 2015-08-25 01:09

I actually quite liked the graphics. It seemed (to me) to give it some additional charm.

I found it decent to control, but I found myself falling off the map way too fast.

Not terribly innovate as far as the theme goes, but quite good for your first time!

Nice take on theme. The game could use some improvements in both gameplay(adding some eye-candies) and graphic. Generally speaking everything works no gmae crashes detected.

yuigoto 2015-08-25 01:28

Whoa! Certainly, besides Monster Energy Drink it was one of the ideas that came to my mind at first.

I have a thing for isometric games so I liked the graphics. They're simple, but work quite well. It also reminded a bit about Rock'n Roll Racing, even more with the soundtrack.

It was quite a nice play. :D

Fun game! But againa unity game where, when you hit a wall too hard, you get stuck in it and do not get out of it.

A really great first game!!!

themiggo 2015-08-25 07:54

The monster truck handles nicely and the health/fuel system forces you to move around the map. The truck needs flame decals :D

chaoscult 2015-08-25 08:23

Pretty great car handling! I know it's a lot of pain to set up good car handling in Unity, but you did good.

brainfreezeman 2015-08-25 08:44

You are the Monster.. Truck, haha, I love it.
Isometric driving games like this are quite nice, and never realized how much we needed a monster truck one!
Personally I feel the truck feels a bit too sluggish, but I like the idea and the choice of music. Quite good for a first game!

mechanicmoon 2015-08-25 09:06

The first conduction game that I see in this jam. Nice job, great music and nice graphics. Keep working and improving :-)

stanov 2015-08-25 09:11

I love letting the police get drown in the river :) And the models are nice too!

But it gets really hard after 20 seconds of the game, because the police cars are really fast and hard to avoid. What about adding an arrow showing where the police cars are?

But hey, great job man!

dsoft20 2015-08-25 09:18

Nice visuals and great gameplay! I'd like to see this game expanded :D.

At first i tought that HP was standing for Horse Power, lol

arnage 2015-08-25 09:55

Interesting interpretation of the theme and quite well balanced.

huvaakoodia 2015-08-25 11:35

Any small faults the game has (The controls are slightly sluggish, the civilians don't even trying to avoid the monster truck) are more than made up for the fact that the police tactic for taking down a crazed driver is to just ram him and explode on contact.

hive-interactive 2015-08-25 14:08

Good controls :)

gdquest 2015-08-25 14:42

It's a clever twist on the theme, I think! Gameplay wise, the controls lack tightness to me. I'd like to have more acceleration, and the brake to allow me to turn faster. I'd also see the truck to be bigger, as its small size makes the game hard at first.

Anyway, keep it up :) !

minionstudios 2015-08-25 17:15

That's really fun! The map is bigger than I expected and the ai works good. I'd love to see more effects when I smash the cars, but it's good!

zkenshin 2015-08-25 17:16

Nice entry, especially for your first game. :)

dinnerinthedark 2015-08-25 17:17

Monster trucks... BOOM explosions, WHOOOHOOO! Why didn't i think of that? Awesome entry :)

fubenalvo 2015-08-25 17:19

Hahahh, finally a not monster based monster game. Nice idea :)

flix 2015-08-25 17:34

The game itself is good and the grafics are ok.I really like the concept tho (greath job on your first Ludum Dare)

commodorekid 2015-08-25 19:36

I knew someone would make a game on monster trucks hahaha :D I think the game is fun but just for a minute. You should develop your workflow and make it better next time. Very good for first time.

wuballiance 2015-08-25 20:07

Fun game! Awesome music! The controls were a little slow, the turn radius could have been smaller. Pretty tricky at first, but fun once you get the hang of it! +1 for dying by falling off the world

lordkawaii 2015-08-25 20:09

Very fun and an amazing first attempt at a game.

cmayhem 2015-08-25 20:36

Cool concept and take on the theme. Had a lot of fun playing!

flygamer101 2015-08-25 22:54

Great theme, was really fun.

superpatch 2015-08-26 01:16

Fun game, and guitar rocks!

pkenney 2015-08-26 01:29

Wow this is great for a first LD: 3D models with buildings that turn transparent, fun vehicle physics, and fantastic guitar music! The rotating front tires were a nice touch on the model, too.

Great work! Just wished there was a bigger map to roam around and see!

jharler 2015-08-26 18:58

Very nice! Good take on the theme. Well done.

bouletmarc 2015-08-27 01:24

fun and enjoyable, controls could have being better, bot nothing else to say, its a nice game

digiman572 2015-08-27 13:37

HAHAHA, loved the take on the theme. I really liked the controls which felt really tight, the graphics were pretty good. I kind of wish that the level was bigger, though, because I just felt very constrained. Besides that one caveat, I thought that this was a really well done game. :)

ruka 2015-08-27 15:05

LOL, that police car very aggressive.

jofra 2015-08-27 18:07

cool mechanics and an unique interpretation of the theme!

This is very good game, very fun music, police

krisdevelopment 2015-08-28 07:20

haha nice aproach on the theme, good job :)

theziggy 2015-08-28 21:17

Really fun game with a cool idea! Would love to see a more polished version in the future.

vereos 2015-08-28 21:50

Killer riff! :D

Nice game, too :)

andrei313 2015-08-28 23:37

Nice use of the "Monster" theme :)

aaronsnoswell 2015-08-29 03:29

Solid 4/4. Nice idea and graphics and music. It was a little annoying trying to crush the tiny cars though :p Maybe add lots more of them!

aaronsnoswell 2015-08-29 03:29

Solid 4/5. Nice idea and graphics and music. It was a little annoying trying to crush the tiny cars though :p Maybe add lots more of them!

acerio 2015-08-29 19:42

THIS REMINDS ME OF ROBLOX GRAPHICS I LOVE THIS <33333333

linus123xbb 2015-08-29 22:19

Good game, the music was awesome and the sound effects were really nice too! The game itself was pretty enjoyable but the police was a bit difficult to avoid and why would they commit suicide just to damage you? =p

glerikud 2015-08-30 17:37

It's one of the most unique and actually fun games I've seen so far. Good job! The police can be a little too annoying, I don't know how one can stay alive for very long

steboots 2015-08-31 20:21

Awesome music! I was thinking it over in my head for the theme category "you are the monster... you are the monster... TRUCK!" I'm late to the party, nicely played! I would've liked bumpers on the edge of the screen cause I suck, but otherwise, nice game!

crafteverywhere 2015-08-31 23:36

Quite fun for me. I love it.

superfreak 2015-09-05 23:36

Super interpretation of the theme with fun, smooth gameplay - great job!

wertle 2015-09-06 17:06

Congrats on your first Ludum Dare game! This was a great entry and very silly. I loved the juxtaposition of the super metal music and the fact that I appeared very small on the screen, it felt super silly. There's a lot of little feedback things you can do to crank things up that I think wouldn't be too involved - since the game is all about crushing cars, that's a place where you could really push the feedback and make it feel REALLy satisfying to smoosh a car (mix up the sound really loud, do things like a fullscreen flash or a bit of screenshake, effects, go all out because this is what the game is about!). You may also want to look at some extra feedback when I am in the correct place for gas and repair, sound or state change when I am fueling up in addition to the meters themselves would help. I would even suggest experimenting with different zoom levels, i'd be curious to see how differently this places with a closer camera. Just something to think about. Overall, nice work!

kaiseangames 2015-09-06 17:28

Altogether a nice game.
