I got mauled by the fans but had fun. Was only able to pick up two of the packages. My biggest piece of feedback is that for a racing game it never feels like you are going fast. The game actually seems quite slow. I think tighter handling and a faster car would lead to a more fun experience. Just my two cents. I still enjoyed it through. Nice work!

Agreed with the above - I think a little bit more handling could go a long way. But definitely a nice job overall with a good amount of 3D model detail. Congrats.

Was laughing the whole time, especially once I caught on to what I was supposed to do. I like the changing map, the awkward physics, and the whole concept.

I Really love the graphic, its very polished!

Impressive work! That Juanitos song you chose for the menu screen is so nice I went and downloaded the whole album straight away. Feels like you're driving through treacle, but that might be intentional? Little hard to remember controls to begin with, too. Otherwise great! Particularly impressed with the leaderboard feature.

I don't have a Windows computer, but this game looks like everything I would want to play and more! From looking at the GIFs, the game has great graphics and innovative concepts. Make a web or Mac version, and I'm in!
Your game is so fun. Good job. Fun fun fun!

Great job! The car mechanics are a bit clunky and hard to handle, but other than that the game is pretty good! I love the art style a lot.

Visually, this is pretty stunning. Nice work on the aesthetics. I had a little bit of difficulty with the controls. I would have liked to see more snappy acceleration. I ultimately ended up stuck in a corner of the level with no way out, but I had fun getting there. Congrats on a solid entry!

The game is very fun, good job !
Nice job - as others have mentioned the handling makes the game feel a bit off. But love the art style and concept.

I like the art style and the sound. Also nice game mechanics, though i did not fell in loe with the controls. It felt a bit clunky, and there was no feeling of speed. But the whole presentation was quite good so expect a good rating by me ;)

Wooow , it is so cool game , amazing 5/5!!! Good luck!
Managed to get 3.4 million points just by clicking 'X'. Flipping through the air is more important than making pizza. That doesn't seems right :P
Nice looking one! But many weird collision behaviours and the camera was turning crazy sometimes. >.< I didn't really get why the 3D model is doubled with a transparent one. Heat effect or something?
@korath Agreed, I never had time to polish up the controls. Glad you enjoyed it though!
@blight-radiance I expected that to happen but needed that button to get unstuck. If it's funny, then it's worth it!
@djeycreations Yeah, that's a heat effect, it's not actually a model.

Basically echoing what pretty much everyone else has said! Good job! I do have a bug report though - the self-righting mechanism has an interesting result if you end up on your tail :p ezgif.com-gif-maker.gif
@Lyje That is hilarious, I'll be sure to tweet that out :P
The car seems a little tough to handle and didn't really see a whole lot of pizza ingredients. I might have missed em tho. Still Great Job!!
It looks like a lot of fun but I was fighting camera and controls, seriously you need to patch those

The graphics, audio and presentation are all very good, however the controls and gameplay was severely lacking. The car was very floaty and it felt extremely sluggish. Also, I did not get what the 2nd genre was supposed to be. But overall a very high quality production.
@metamorphling I hated the controls and sluggishness since day 2, but never had a chance to figure them out because I had so much to do.
@Bonelazy It was cooking + racing. And I agree with control issues, see above.

This is pretty good, the controls are weird and you can do a lot by smashing just X. But the feel, music and atmosphere is very nice. I LOL'd at the Disaster_Data folder, hahah. Good job.
This is a really fun entry, thank you for the submission. I had a blast trying to get the tomato sauce in place while doing an unprecedented 720 backflip sidescrew fly trick :D Also, one of the best fitting songs you could possibly have used ;)
Loved the graphics and soundtrack! Funny game, the only negative thing, in my opinion, is the slow speed and gravity.. sometimes is annoying, because you need to wait until the truck is driveable again after a flip. Except this, it's an excellent work!
The musical selection is on point. Game theme is everything. XD
You already know the sluggishnes etc. yada yada. I expected something a bit more MicroMachines-ish.
I think the graphics could do with being slightly less orange overall. The feeling of being in an oven is there, but some color variation would be more interesting.
Overall it was a pretty fun concept, and a good use of the theme!
That's 2 incompatible genres alright lol
Probably one of the more humorous entries I've seen, the physics is super wonky though I wish it all just moved a bit faster, especially when handling rollovers (I do love how it slowly rolls back into position after a while). I definitely didn't expect the acrobatic racing and Tony Hawk style scoring. That was an excellent touch to the game and I suspect that took a lot of code to detect things correctly. Really clever entry.
This is pretty fun - the game is still bugged and the vehicle behaves more like a boat than like a truck [aka it's slow and unresponsive ^^#] but the mood is right - the game song in particular is TOTALLY something you'd expect from a monster truck game from the 90s~2000s so in that respect good job ^^# That being sait it feels like all the pizza cooking is a trivial bonus and that in order to make good points you're supposed to play it like a regular freestyle monster truck game... that's a bit of a shame... still though in terms of graphics also it's impressive for something made in 72h, nicely done :-)
@StrangerYann Thanks! It's always sad when something doesn't quite come together the way we were looking (should have worked on the controls instead of the leaderboards), I guess I aimed too much for a "complete package". We'll do better next time!
