You should output mood and humor as there are none of these. The game was really interesting and fun for a few minutes. The audio was correct, i really liked the soundtrack but the sound of the car was too lound i think. I loved the graphics, there were really good ! You should explain the theme in the post cause it took me few minutes to understand it. Keep up !

I really liked the core mechanic, driving and shooting feels pretty hefty and satisfying. I think more accurate car physics would really juice up the driving. I really wanted to drift! Haha. I would like to see more enemies too, I felt like they were pretty scarce throughout the world (felt like 2 or 3 every generation?).

I was a little disappointed that there was no endgame though, once I got all of the upgrades there was no satisfaction in having played to the end.

The audio was pretty good too, I felt like the background music was fitting!

Good work!

Nice game! Loved the artwork, and, though the controls were a bit hard to get used to, the driving mechanics felt really good.

i liked the game, it felt nice to drive and shoot, very mad max, didn't do anything massively interesting with the theme as you could remove the batteries and it would still be the same game, but a really solid entry

Hey there, I just finished playing Scorched Earth. It was very neat! I actually think it had a lot of mood! The post apocalyptic vibes definitely resonated with me. Art was good, and the game was fairly well balanced. Overall a good entry. Good job!

Really solid on all fronts, great controls and aesthetics, classic gameplay could use some variety on the upgrades but other then that great work!

I played this one a lot longer than the others. Fun Mad Max style game with intuitive driving controls. Firing was less intuitive - I really don't like the WASD/mouse aim style, and this is the fourth of five games to have it. But it worked here. Art style is great, with extras like the tire marks, clouds of dust, and broken car parts. Sound is fine. I didn't like the fact that the shots were lasers, and that the enemy cars had such long range and instant-hit capability. I was shot from off-screen a lot, which is very difficult to respond to. Also, there's not really a plot, although I appreciated that your car mods survived after your death. Fun game - best I've looked at so far.

Good fun, nice satisfying controls and simple to play. I think the big plants you hit look too similar to the decoration that you don't. Aside from that, really liked this. Great entry!

Fun and good graphics. I loved it. I only played for a few minutes but I didn't quite get the theme.

Really fun game. I loved the graphics and the game style. Not too sure how it fits the theme though

It's amazing how polished this game is. All the parts are really well done and this makes the game very enjoyble.

This game controls realy well, there are a lot of little things that makes everything come together nicely. Sometimes when I spawned there was an object already where I spawned (forcing me to take damage) and the upgrades were too easy to max out (which works well on this format), besides these 2 realy minor things, I had fun with it, great job.
