The Game is incredible fun and the graphics top notch! Good Job. One of the best games i tryed.

cocapasteque 2019-04-30 22:07

@luis-j-benitez Thank you so much, glad you liked it ! :D

This is a neat little managment game! At first I found it quite easy and managed to save almost all the cars but it got really intense later on. Also, the game fits the theme pretty nicely with the sharing of fuel and buying upgrades with karma. Good job!

artisiole 2019-04-30 22:13

Nice. Cool And Fun. Except for this one glitch where i can't move, but it's still nice.

cocapasteque 2019-04-30 22:15

@artisiole Thanks for your feedback, the movements are a bit clunky from time to time, we still haven't figured out why tho... Might investigate that during the weekend :)

Nice game, I really like the visual style. It would have been nice to have a visual indication that clicking the red button next to the follower gas would kill them.

Really great game, with several mechanics that are balanced enough for the player to take on at the same time. You had me at the deal with the devil, too !

Pros : - Even if it was not made by you, great graphics and music choice, which add a lot to the play comfort. - Constant tension due to the exploding cars making you lose karma and the diminishing fuel. Very effective gameplay overall. - The shop part is fun and adds a lot to the experience

Cons : - The controls were not always responsive, and I missed several friendly cars when I was sure to have pressed space in time. - Are you supposed to be able to drive without fuel in your main tank ? That is what happened to me at the end of level 2...

All in all, great job !

Cool game! I like how I have to balance between picking up new cars and deciding to put some extra fuel in the once that are already following me, just to survive a little longer to reach the end of the level!

I think there could be more emphasis on the last 10-15 seconds of the level. Maybe add a ticking clock, change colours or add more explosion, so it's clear when you are getting closer.

I think it would also add with sound effects for ex moving, overlapping cars, add fuel.

Other then that I think that it was a really engaging experience :)

Love it! Trying to save juuust the right amount of people is a terrific mechanic. RPG elements were cool, though the ramp up in price made it seem like spreading points out was by far the best bet. Love how it works with the theme and the sharing, and the frantic trying to spread just the right amount of fuel around while still rescuing people is good. I have a couple caveats, I think the big one is that you need to explain that you "ram" cars to save people, at first I was dodging the cars because that made the most sense to me! I found the side-to-side controls frequently unresponsive, where I wouldn't be able to go all the way to one side or the other, frequently leaving me unable to rescue people. Last... Is there a way to get back to the main menu? Like, to quit? Lol.

Wow, interesting and beautiful game. It is a pity that the control does not always work well and the machine does not turn on time and because of this you lose. But overall a very cool game

zhaan 2019-04-30 22:30

Very good game! Great job! Not too easy, not to hard, what a well balanced gameplay! And the art is beautiful.

sholyu 2019-04-30 22:33

It's really cool, pretty balanced, i liked it. Actually if it was on the play store i would probably install it! Good job

cocapasteque 2019-05-01 07:40

@everyone, thanks so much for your feedbacks :) We are aware of the problems with the controls, we'll try to fix it during the week so the other players can have a better experiences if they want to pley the post jam version :)

@Pyrian : Really good point, totally forgot a back to main menu option there, gonna add it too. Thanks for your feedback :)

brinkhousegames 2019-05-01 18:21

Wish there were an OSX or web build!

finalspace 2019-05-01 18:21

don't have a windows machine, but the game looks fun! definitely love the art and the level

poffle 2019-05-01 18:37

Nice idea! Probably the best management sort of game I've played so far. Button didn't always work and I couldn't seem to download the updated version on itch. Great job on the original upload anyway!

arielsan 2019-05-01 18:38

It looks really cool, I had a hard time clicking and picking more followers but it was fun to play. Good work!

pixscope 2019-05-01 20:42

Really fun and nice concept !

johannimations 2019-05-01 20:49

Really good game! i'd like to have some winning condition or a score counter or at least a possibility to get time in game. I always failed after 30 seconds that wasn't fun. But visually stunning. I love it. and the controls didn't always work perfectly. But overall a great entry!!!

cocapasteque 2019-05-01 20:54

@johannimations Thanks for your feedback ! There is a timer in game, the round is over when the time is at 0, doesn't mean you lost the round tho :) We are aware of the controls, the post jam version tries to fix it but it's still not perfect but more playable :)

greendinogames 2019-05-01 21:00

Hey guys, great work! I like the concept and atmosphere. I played the Post LD version, and after clicking on credits, the quit game button in the main menu doesn't work for me. But that's just a side note, the game itself runs perfectly smooth. Keep up the good work!

rheel 2019-05-01 21:32

Great work! After I figured out how it all worked (I didn't read correctly the first time), it was quite fun playing this game! Graphics were really nice, music helped with the ambiance, so overall good game.

One tiny non-important bug: clicking to quit the game doesn't actually quit the game

rancoud 2019-05-01 21:53

Great work What you can improve: * make a little tutorial for explaing the sharing fuel concept and destroy followers * add a little cross on red button (use for destroy followers) * a little more big the height of the followers fuel bar * when hovering a followers fuel bar, add a little focus feedback * try to add a percentage on fuel bar

nillard 2019-05-02 03:56

Couldn't get past the first level. Space just didn't work sometimes. D stopped working at times too. Often hitting retry, a car would already be in the fire and give me negative karma with no fault of my own. Looks good and sounds good. Nice use of the theme.

kregames 2019-05-02 20:54

The shadows, the sounds everything is put together so nice! Well done!! I really enjoyed it. The second level was way more harder, but I liked it.

copper-aardvark-games 2019-05-04 17:52

I’m surprised you didn’t want to be rated on graphics. Because that’s one of my favorite aspects xd. Solid entry and very fun gameplay

cocapasteque 2019-05-04 18:33

@copper-aardvark-games Didn't want to get rated in graphics because the assets used are not ours, it's from Synty Studio polygon packs :) Would not be faire to other participants that put a lot of hours into making the models for their games :)

spirits 2019-05-04 18:59

Great Game!, At the begging I didn't know that to move left and right I had to press the key instead of holding a key. I would suggest to check if the player is holding the key then move to the next tile, it would be much easier to control than pressing a key. Overall, Good Job!

potatolain 2019-05-04 19:51

Not a whole lot to add that others haven't said, but I enjoyed this entry a lot! I liked that you added upgraded car graphics on each entry, and the resource management thing was cool! (Though I fully admit I completely missed this on the first playthrough and got confused when cars exploded... oops >_>)

Nice entry; had a lot of fun with this one.

masterkrepta 2019-05-04 20:28

The pre fixed version was almost completly unplabayble for for, but the input lag was fixed in the post jam version. I liked the shader and overall balancing act of pushing for more followers in exchange for fuel. and the upgrade system felt pretty well fleshed out for a jam gam. well done

codesity 2019-05-04 21:03

I like the concept you made there. It harmonying with the Theme. Good work! Also im not really good in 3D Games, so im a bit jealous.

gurkan96 2019-05-04 21:19

Really nice game like the idea even if i am extremly bad at it no multitsking skill at all

mika-la-grand 2019-05-04 21:23

Nice game guys. It was quite funny that the car looked completely different after every upgrade. Though I would like to replay the level when you fail, instead of being reset to the beginning. The quit button also doesn't work in the main menu.

egawag 2019-05-05 02:15

That was a hot game. Literal Fire. 5/5.

rmleverton 2019-05-05 14:40

Great game. Quit button didn't work. Concept was really strong

dr4g0nsoul 2019-05-05 15:58

Really cool game. The menu looks amazing and the powerups feel meaningfull and the game is well balanced.

geist-191 2019-05-05 15:59

Really nice game. Really nice world creation! I really appreciate how the game feels. One thing I would do is to improve the tutorial with visuals a bit and also put the cars that follow you to the right. Otherwise very nice game !

nippaaah 2019-05-05 16:34

really great game!! Amazing light effects, the fire looks dangerous :D i liked the feeling of chill driving and managing the fuel of your followers. also, Satan :D good job!

scofflaw-games 2019-05-09 11:16

Pretty awesome once I got the hang of it a little, but I still sucked at it!! Love your artstyle, brilliant!! Your main menu was very cool too, very inspiring!! Overall, awesome game!!
