Digging it. I feel like the camera controls are a little abrupt, but I like the car controls - squirrel'y, but not too bad.

Nice game! I like the mood on it and the physics too!

The car was a real soap but I liked it! :)

The graphics and audio are nice. The idea is very original with all this minerals and th game have a nice difficulty (he's not too simple or too difficult). Great game !

@joedb100 I liked ur game very much. It is entertaining and fun to play. Nice visuals. Kudos to you.✌

Sound effects for those cop sirens would really make the experience POP! nice work on the game it's fun and very innovative. I have never played a car stealth game before. This would have even worked well with LD41 (combine two incompatible genres, car sandbox and stealth game). well done.

I love the aesthetic in this game. I also like the combination of cars and stealth. You say it's procedurally generated, but it seems like I always start in the same spot, maybe the seed needs to be randomized on every run? The camera clips into the buildings sometimes, not sure how to fix that. Sound effects, slightly improved driving physics, and maybe some sort of goal (instead of just how long you can last) would really make this game great.

Very good game! Awesome graphics. But it's getting easier - not harder - if you progress in the game.

@beebo-studios @tigerj @jasperarmstrong thank you for your feedback

Very nice concept! With a little more feedback and a better understanding of the objectives it would be even better! I really liked the atmosphere, the music, the minimalist style and the controls of the car! Great job!

I like it! The mood was really nice and so were the graphics! It took me a while before I understood the concept of collecting crystals and the police cars but it was still fun when I just tried to avoid cars and buildings with a easily spinning car. So the best quality: Easy mechanics and beautifuk beautiful graphics! What you can improve: Maybe some extra explanation on how the game works? (I didn't find out about space-bar until my last run for example) c:

@julia-lundman Thanks for checking it out!

I liked the drifting and I didn't notice the camera zooming until it was very very close. I liked that! Nice take on the theme.

I enjoyed playing your game! I was having some fun, and then I saw a tree rolling on the road... Destructible content!!!

So I started running towards trees then I discoverd a part of the map that was blinking. I went closer, and it was full of trees colliding, pretty much from where the first tree was coming. I tried to run into it but a police car was hidden into it and I got caught.

You would probably describe that as a bug but for me it was the little something that makes a playthrough worth it haha.

Graphics really helped to set the mood by the way! Night driving is so enjoyable :D

Good job!

@kiirohanabi @shakedimus Thank you guys for the feedback and helping us reach the 20 rating!

The game was pretty good overall, Devlin's tiles were great and his ai was the better one. The sound that Dan made is sublime. Joe's graphics look very good. Chris however, lets the project down and was the weakest link in this game. But the real star player was James, I want more stuff from him since he is clearly the most talented.
