i tried to use the mobile phone, accepted a person pick up, but then nothing happened.. it didn't say where i needed to go?

I didn't vote, never managed to spawn a customer, not intuitive enough.

@Brendan-Toy @dragonslumber Unfortunately we didn't have time to implement a tutorial, but I updated the description so you'll know what you have to do.

brendan-toy 2018-04-25 09:58

@ema1ih thats the thing, the app didn't tell me where to pick up the customer :( darn it i wanna see that plot twist!!!! haha i'll try again :)

Interesting game, I liked the idea. I couldn't work out how to use the phone/see any instructions for this though.

Very nice game, i had problems clicking on the phone more than once, also, it felt the car hitboxex were to large, i kept crashing for the first minutes... But I did finish it. Nice ending! :D Good Art, Great job.

Cool game. I now know, that i should never become a Taxi Driver. I had at least 3 car accidents and injured persons per day. The phone was a really cool idea, but sometimes a bit buggy.

@brendan-toy I updated the mini-map, so it will show the pick up location too. Initially we didn't want to implement this because we though it was fun for the player to find it through the city, but maybe it's too hard this way

@ed3187 there are instructions in the description, to use the phone you have to click on it. To open the huber app, you just have to click on the huber app icon (the last one). *also you have to enable fullscreen as i said in the description, otherwise you can't see the phone*

@eudes-franco thank you for playing the whole game ^^ I tried to make the car hitboxes smaller but I think they were too small, so I just let it like this. @markus I know the problem with the phone, you have to move a bit to click accept. I tried to fix it, but i don't know what's wrong.

Lacks sound and music, but great job!

This game is fun; I didn't have any sound I'm not sure if that's intentional. Good game overall!

This was a fun entry. I found it to be a little frustrating at times that cars would just barrel into you, and I'm not sure if there was a way to not lose on the last night, but the gameplay itself was fun. I like the idea of a taxi-style game that didn't time you but rather made you take the long way for extra cash. Good work!

This game has an interesting concept. I enjoyed the exploration part, it took a while to find where stuff were located and the phone was a bit buggy.

The car AI was not very smart because it would just drive right into you and give you a fine. Also, it was very confusing when I picked up a customer, because I had no idea where the destination was. I drove around trying to find where to drop off the customer but I had no idea and then they left because it took too long. Maybe having a GPS or something on the phone would work, not sure if the minimap gives any details about the destination but it was hard to see, even in fullscreen.

Still, this idea has potential. Good job :smiley:

ema1ih 2018-04-30 19:04

@kevin-mooney yeah we didn't have time to implement the sounds&music. @morrilet we didn't have time to make 2 endings, so the cops will catch you wherever you go. @Linus actually the minimap shows you the pick up location and the destination, i don't know why you couldn't see them, maybe it's something with the resolution. We wanted the minimap to show your location too, like a gps, but i don't know yet how to do this. (We're still beginners)

Thank you all for the kind words! ^^

Neat concept. I got soo many fines! The only real problem I had was interacting with the phone, but thats been brought up before. Good job overall!

This has a nice retro feel to it. I made a video of your game, wanna check it out?

Hey thanks for rating CornWars - Just played your game live on stream and left a rating.

You should check your colliders. People walking next to the road collide with cars on the road...

An interesting idea, could really become a top game with additional polish. I didn't quite see where the theme came in though and some audio wouldn't have gone amiss.
