Cute theme - gameplay is easy to pick up, pieces of the car a little less so. :) Congratulations on the submission!
What a good game, I love the way that you use the theme, excellent ! Congrats
Wow it's a nice project! Collisions are cruel, and re-picking a part wasn't obviously bad so it's a bit frustrating. But except that, models and UI are pretty, there is a complete soundtrack, the theme fit is great and everything works well! Congrats for such good work :clap:
At first i didn't understand what I am supposed to do other than avoiding obstacles, but then I saw the car parts on the side. It was mostly my fault as I didn't read the instructions before I started playing.
I think the car parts should stand out a bit more, but other than that good job!
Amazing Game!
I really like the little guy floating above the road! If this would be a full game with a lot of dev time, I would make an intro animation where the guy is getting into his invisible car :blue_car:
The game is very simple, but what I really like that the car parts are acting as lives. Nice idea!
Cute little game! I like the feedbacks when you hit something and overall it's easy to get used to the game and to understand what to do (even if having to read lines of texts to get the rules is worse than a tutorial, but in this case it was not very long). I think the collisions detection might be a bit easier, sometimes I felt like I would not touch anything but I ended up colliding with an object I just crossed, but overall the game was working pretty well ! Maybe think of adding a replay button so that players do not have to go through the main menu to play again Cool entry!
Very nice entry! The idea was very original and I think it was spot-on for the theme. Thanks for making an Android build!
@tohubohu @tibseydon @blint6 @miss-pi @karanveer @pestodesign @saering @aemiliu5 Thank you for feedbacks, advices and comments guys !
@pestodesign Yes, I totally agree ! It could be funto see this animation at the start of the game ! ;-)
@blint6 @miss-pi I will try to improve the visibility of the pieces and make them more obvious in a future update ! Thank you very much !
@saering You're right about the collision ! And the restart button is a good idea ! I'll try to improve it later ! Thanks for your feedback !
@aemiliu5 Glad you enjoyed the Android version ! ;-)
easy to understand. nice idea and i like the jockey style :)
@feingehacktes Thank you for your feedback and Thank you for playing my game !
Very nice theme interpretation ! Very good music and graphisms. Good job !
@narffy Thank you very much ! I hope you liked playing it ;-)
A good game idea based on the theme! I agree with the commenters above regarding finding the pieces you need. I would also try to make sure that the pieces dont spawn right next to an obstacle which makes i impossible to pick up. Oh, and I also experienced that all the lanes (and sidewalks were blocked, making it impossible not to crash. Otherwise, I enjoyed this. Well done!
Nice use of theme! Agree that car parts shouldn't spawn in the middle of obstacles but overall a fun game!
The game is little bit laggy. I think the alone player has same collier as in whole car. The parts spawn in obstacles and sometimes there was no way to pass through.. But good game and good luck.
Nice spin on the theme. I also had an idea of 'racing game but you start without a car' but couldn't think of a good way to do it. Well, this is it! As others have said, car parts some times spawned inside other stuff which was a bit annoying.
Pretty nice. I was confused by what I was supposed to do at first, because when I tried to pick up car parts I got the crash sound, because the part was at the same place as a boulder or something.
Funny concept :) Hitboxes felt a little bit harsh to me (I swear I didn't bump that cow!). Sometimes I also ended up with an impossible item to pick up, like intricated in a rock. However I'm always impressed to see people able to manage 3D game in such a small amount of time. I like the idea that the elements of your car are also your life. But I couldn't be able to build it entirely. Is there a kind of ending when you do so?
like the idea, you have something to repeat, anyway I enjoyed and I thing its funny!
Hahaha I love how you tilt when turning.
Cute game! I really like the funky music.
A bit odd sometimes, as I don't know if those seats I'm going to pick are the front or the back ones, but I enjoyed it!
This is my highscore:
asd.PNG
Nice entry, congrats!
Got something with 9000. As others said the hitboxes are a bit too unforgiving. And sometimes collecting a carpart counted as a hit and did not give me a part...
@attala @mikethehuman @baski @squaredev @vilcans @gaming-night @natalie-sodomkova @keni @madbarron @elhombrebanana @ausstein Thank you for feedbacks, advices and comments guys ... and, of course, thank you so much for playing ! Glad you liked playing my game !
I'll make a update soon to improve collisions, to improve piece visibility and to improve spawn positions ! If you want to follow this game dev or my other projects, you can find me on Twitter here : https://twitter.com/TBoGames1
@gaming-night Hi ! Unfortunately, there is not ending or event if you build the car entirely ! But this is a nice idea to improve the game ! Thank you so much ! :smile:
@baski Hi ! I'll try to solve this lag problem in a future update !
@elhombrebanana Wow ! O.O Awesome score ! I'll try to make the back and front seats more obvious !
@ausstein Nice score !
This is hilarious. I love the idea and you did a great job implementing it. The only issue I had was the collision seemed a little off. I maneuvered into a lane after a car passed and it felt like I should have safely made it, but unfortunately I crashed. Maybe it was just bad judgement, but I thought I had let enough time pass to safely get in the lane. Great job!
@jharler Thank you so much for playing my game ! Glad you liked it ! You're right about the collisions and I will make an update soon to fix this !
Really nice little game and good idea to bring the theme in.
The game is well polished and easy to play. It's a fun take on the theme, that's all I can say really. Well done!
Really funny game! The hitbox was a bit unforgiving, and a lot of car parts were near impossible to get, but I dug the concept of building up the car in place of a health system. It's also unclear which car parts are which when I see them on the side of the road, and I'm going so fast I'm not even sure what I have? I think a HUD that displayed what parts of the car I had fulfilled as well as some sort of indicator over the pieces on the road telling me either what piece they are or whether or not I have them already would be super helpful. Good times, though!
Hi everyone !
@neowhoru Thanks for playing my game ! Glad you liked it !
@hare-software Thank you so much ! And thanks for playing my game ! I'm really happy that you enjoyed it ! ;-)
@selkkie Thanks for playing my game ! I hope you enjoyed ! ;-) I work on hitboxes, collisions, ... but I added some "indicators" for car parts in a little update ! I hope you will like it !
I’ll make other updates soon to improve collisions and to improve spawn positions ! If you want to follow this game dev or my other projects, you can find me on Twitter here : https://twitter.com/TBoGames1
This game is a bit too hard. Has anyone successfully built the full car yet?
I love the idea, as others have said, the colliders are a little unforgiving, but not enough for me to stop playing, especially once I realized you just have to pretend the car is there. Also, I love the smooth transitions from level to menus, are you loading as you close the shutters or using AsyncLoading? Or is it one continues scene with multiple cameras?
@kuviman @fizzpowmike1 Thanks for feedbacks guys ! :smile:
@kuviman Thank you very much for playing and streaming my game ! I built the full car sometimes but not always ! I'm currently working on colliders and searching how to balance the game ! I hope you enjoyed to play my game !
@fizzpowmike1 Thanks for playing my game ! Glad you liked it ! I'll change the colliders soon ! For the transitions, I load the next scene when the shutters are closing using Coroutines ! ;-)
It's nice but sometimes the game makes you an impossible way to pass throw
ahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaahahaaaa so funny
I love how you interpreted the theme. The models and animations are simple, but funny. Nor sure if it's just me, but I'm getting some flicker on the horizon. It makes it harder to see the incoming objects. If you plan on adding to it in the future, I would love ASDW controls. Great game!
I liked it! Pretty standard endless runner with a nice interpretation of the theme. At first I thought there were only 3 lanes, lol. Took some time to figure that out. Also, the hit detection was bad. I think the hitbox was larger than the car itself.
This game is so funny. I liked a lot to play it. The concept is great and I like the artwork. Good job.
Really interesting play on the jam's theme. Fun to play.
Cool idea, as others have said hitboxes were a bit too large. Really liked the animations and the art!
@deiidara @o2o @hwaet @matharoo @pedro-rosa @projectaroid @glaciereclipse Thanks for feedbacks, advices and comments guys and thank you so much for playing ! Glad you liked playing my game !
@hwaet Hi ! ;-) Thanks you for your feedback ! I'll work on the flicker on the horizon ! Your "ASDW controls" suggestion is great ! I added it in a new update !
@deiidara Hi, You're right about the circulation ! I just made an update to try to make circulation easier.
@matharoo @glaciereclipse Hi guys ! You're right about colliders, and I tried to fix this. If, you want to take a look, I just made an update for the colliders.
I’ll make other updates soon to improve the game ! If you want to follow this game dev or my other projects, you can find me on Twitter here : https://twitter.com/TBoGames1
What a great idea and implementation of the theme! An absolute delight to play.
SO funny game XD, really nice idea this of starting without the car an collect the car itself! Good job!
Did I beat your highscore? :stuck_out_tongue: Capture4.JPG
Love the idea! Each time I picked up a piece of my car after the first, it "crashed" my car and I gained the piece I picked up while losing the piece I'd picked up before it. Played on web version.
@inusun @lonewolfdev @itsdanidre @emmyoop Thank you for feedbacks, advices and comments guys and, of course, thank you so much for playing ! Glad you liked playing my game !
@inusun @lonewolfdev Thank you guys for your kind words guys ! I'm very happy you had fun playing my game !
@itsdanidre Yeah ! :v: You have best score that I've seen so far ! Amazing ! Congrats ! :clap:
@emmyoop I played on web version to check for your problem but I never meet your problem on the game ! But I can precise a rule of the game : If you pick up twice the same piece, the first one is destroyed by the second one. So a piece can destroy another, but this is a rule ! I hope it helped you ! If your problem don't come from this, I'll search again later to try to solve your bug.
I’ll make other updates soon to improve the game ! If you want to follow this game dev or my other projects, you can find me on Twitter here : https://twitter.com/TBoGames1
Haha, I laughed at the idea of not having a car and that I didn't stop him from racing down the street. I was always a fan of Outrun and the old school road scroller brought back some memories. Humor category scored good for me for the thought of a driving game with no car. I also like that he sits in the tree at the menu =) Clever to have the car parts available not only to pick up but also to act as lives as you progressed. Nice with low poly art too :) Good job!
my new HIGH SCORE: Снимок экрана 2019-10-12 в 12.20.30.png
@imphenzia Thank you for feedback, thanks for rating my game and, of course, thank you for playing my game ! Glad you liked playing it ! I'm happy to read such kind words about my game ! :smile:
And congratulations to the new champion : @nikita-demidov :clap:
Me: OK i got only seats left. At least I can pick up everything except seats now.
Game: Do you want some Front seats.
Me: no
Game: Do you want some Back seats.
Me: ahhhhhh
Those tight squeezes feel so good now after the update. The indicators also make it soo much better. But I'll leave my rating as it was for the LD release version as I think that is the only fair way :) But good job on those updates
This game was fun! It's odd that some parts only spawn once in a couple years though
you need to work on the random obstacle generation to remove impossible to dodge scenarios but the main game mechanic is simple and fun. Thank you for the game! I enjoyed playing it!
[For reference, I played the original jam version.]
This is a fun little game! As others have said, it's surprisingly tricky to remember which pieces you've already picked up, especially when some of them look almost identical. The fact that the driver isn't sitting in the exact centre of the lane threw me, until I realised that of course he wouldn't be, he's in a car!
The low-poly graphics are charming, but I think the draw distance is a bit low; new obstacles very noticeably pop in. Having the driver sat in a tree on the "game over" screen was a really nice touch :joy:
The other criticism I have (and I think the post-jam version fixes this too?) is that the collisions feel off, and sometimes it registers a collision when I swear I haven't hit anything. I dunno whether it's because the hitbox is for the full-size car even when you only have the driver, or what, but it might be something to work on, because it doesn't feel right to me.
btw, is it possible to "win" the game by collecting all the pieces? Or do you just keep on driving in your finished car until it inevitably falls apart?
(P.S. the web version doesn't work, I just see a black screen with the UI over the top :( )
I found the proposal of the game very interesting and fun, but I feel that the mechanics of losing the pieces just because the player already owns I found it a bit bad, because it gives the first impression that the game is buggy but it's a mechanic, I think it should have a bonus when catching and not a punishment. but overall I really enjoyed the game
Much fun! Took me some time to understand that I had to avoid the car parts I already picked.
@f1krazy I can confirm you do not win when you assemble the whole car :(
The MacOSX-version works! By the way:How did you compile it without having a Mac?(Or do you have a Mac but didn't have enough time to test it?) And could you please add a quit button?
@elmos-minion @mrerdalural @f1krazy @felipegeovani @yhi @ausstein @nikita-demidov Thank you for feedbacks, advices and comments guys and, of course, thank you so much for playing ! Glad you liked playing my game !
@mrerdalural Hi ! :slight_smile: Thanks for the feedback on obstacle generation ! I did a first try to reduce impossible scenarios ! I'll improve it again bit in a future update. Can you tell me which version you played ?
@f1krazy Thank you for you very complete feedback ! :smile: For collision and car pieces visibility and car pieces remembering, I added some little things on the last updates ! About graphics, I'll try to find way to pop the objects in a more discreet way ! Like @ausstein saids, there is no "win" when you build the full car. But, if it's not a "win", build the full car could be an event, reward or bonus on the game ! For the web version, I didn't have the problem, so I think that it could be a browser problem. What browser are you using to play the game ?
@felipegeovani Thank you for your feedback about "picking twice the same pieces" ! I think that a part of the game difficulty is based on this mechanic. I will add a bonus when you build the full car in another update. But you're right about the fact that this rule looks like a bug. So I will add more obvious "collision indicators" or "collision feedbacks" to make this mechanics a little bit more clear for the player.
@nikita-demidov Thank you ! Thank you ! Thank you ! :smile: You really help me guy ! I'm happy that the Mac OS version works ! I don't have a Mac but I use the Unity building system ( very useful ) to build for Mac !
@t-bo I have the latest version of Google Chrome, but I've been having issues with other WebGL entries so I think it might be my drivers more than anything else. I might check out the post-jam version at some point.
@f1krazy Ok ! That's nice ! Thanks you guy !
A simple and fun little game. I love the music and the graphics is also pretty good. The game has some issue, like it already mentioned, but overall is this a fun game to play. Well done.
I take back my title! :sunglasses: @nikita-demidov Capture8.JPG
Nice game! Simple but fun. I had a small glitch in WebGL version which looks like horizontal 1-pixel seams between separate planes appear and disappear while driving. Enjoyed playing the game!
@t-bo I believe the Highscore counter is glitched atm. In your first webgl version i scored 9000 with no problems. I last a lot longer on the current versions and rarely get over 500 (while lasting a lot longer than in the release version). Then sometimes I get 300 before i saw the first obstacle. I tested the windows versions (all 3 of them) and the highscore stays at 1 the whole time. Once it got to 4 but that was it.
Having the webgl version minimized while waving the mouse across the screen (sometimes) makes the score go similar to the initial version, but that can't really be the solution.
So somhow the score is not added consitently. Moving the score counter into the fixedupdate method in unity could solve the problem. otherwise you could try multipying the updated score with time.deltaTime if you use the regular update or define a delta time yourself between when the score updated the last time.
Good luck bughunting ;)
Damn those cows on the road! :smile:
Fun game! I'm really glad you put the labels on the car parts, I might have had a hard time distinguishing them otherwise. Good job overall!
Digging the surrealist nonsense going on about barreling down a motorway with nothing but the wind beneath my feet. The music loop is a bit short, but I'm digging the visuals!
I'm soo hyped, I figured out why my highscore was working properly yesterday, it was because I played on microsoft edge instead of google chrome. So I used edge again and oblitarated the highscore boooooom (you still should figure out why chrome and windows highscores don't work) Desktop Screenshot 2019.10.13 - 19.53.57.16.png
And broke it again :muscle:
The game got really laggy from 55-60k onwards and the car started driving in between lanes.. Desktop Screenshot 2019.10.13 - 20.23.05.50.png
@itsdanidre It's my title now and I challange you to take it back again ;)
This was a really cool concept!
A really nice idea to match the theme, it was spot on, really. Quite satisfying when I received the auto parts and it started looking like a car.
I thought I did well scorewise, but when I look at the other people posting here it wasn't that high. :scream_cat:
Great work! :thumbsup:
I'd stop spawning one part of the car when the player has it. Except that, the concept is pretty cool and nicely absurd at the begining when the pilot drives with nothing.
The music is ... quite ... something ^^'
Great use of the theme! There were a few times when the car parts would spawn in an impossible location due to other obstacles, and a few times there I couldn't move without colliding with something.
Well, I'll not say again what everyone said above me :D Just congratulations, simple but yet effective game! Can't wait to see an enhanced version.
Amazing entry! Great graphics and a great fit for the theme. Congratulations!
Great fun, but I think obstacle spawn rate is tied to distance/gametime rather than progression through game? Perhaps it would be better if more obstacles spawned only when I pick up more parts, and less spawned if I started to lose a lot of parts.
How do you get scores so high? :laughing: :clap: :clap: Mine was something like 15k.
The game is really nice, happy colors and controls are intuitive. As many said before me, I'd prefer more "understandable" collision boxes. And (also said before) there maybe could be a bonus if you have all the car pieces?
Had a real tough time seeing if the car pieces were already in my car or not (web version).
All that said, a very pleasant experience if you ask me. :smiley:
@ausstein take win lol.
@itsdanidre Desktop Screenshot 2019.10.15 - 00.16.41.85.png Just got a new one :) @t-bo I'll also upload a video of the record on YT where you will be able to see how the car starts driving in between lanes and the games starts lagging after ~60K points. But my upload speed is not great so uploading a 15 min video will take ~ an hour. I really love your game, otherwise I would not have wasted another hour right now trying to break my own record :) I could also upload a video with the broken highscores on chrome and windows if that helps you
Here is my Highscore run video https://youtu.be/Kx54p1vzuZc
edit: quality at 360p right now, but should improve once youtube is done processing
only thing i dont like is its hard to tell which part i have before collecting, relaxing endless runner
Very good game. It was quite funny.
This was a real fun and really hard to get away from :) Great job!
@ausstein WOW ! Amazing score on this run ! :clap: I want to understand the "broken highscore problem", so it could really help me if I could watch your video ! Can I share your highscore video ?
@t-bo Yes you can share the video of course :) I don't know if I'll find time today to make a video of that problem but I'll leave one here as soon as I can :)
That's an interesting idea of assembling cars on the fly.
Awesome game! Please release an Android version. Another suggestion: The different parts of the car should have different colors especially the front and back doors and seats. That would make it a lot easier to not get confused. This game should defintly an Underground or Hot Pursuit version :)
Lane changing animation would look better natural if car's nose would turn in that direction a bit. And if camera would be fixed to the car, instead of center of the road.
@kamil124b There is an Android version on Itch io, if you want to try ! And I think I will release a version on Google Play with many posts jam modifications !
I’ll make other updates soon to improve the game ! If you want to follow this game dev or my other projects, you can find me on Twitter here : https://twitter.com/TBoGames1
Managed to get to 8112 on my first go! Was a little hard to read the text of the car parts incoming, as well as where they were on the car, but other than that this was a fun game! It reminded me a lot of Crazt Taxi, but with nice music and cool 3D assets. It was a nice touch having the driver wave to the player in the beginning, makes it more inviting to play.
I never imagined it would be so fun driving without a car.
Very fun entry! The core game mechanics are very solid and allow you to avoid obstacles at the last moment, granting you a way to go through lines of obstacles if you got the right timing.
However, i found odd that when you 'collect' a part that you already have the game consider it a obstacle and you crash on it, losing a car part. I dont know if it is a bug.
In the other hand, the graphics are very neat and the sounds pleasant.
Good job on this game!
Here is the video with the bugged highscore on chrome: https://youtu.be/B4cF3fpAk-s
You are probably the more experienced game developer so ignore this advise if you don't think it helps you:
I think the lagg issues at around 60k are due to unity's garbage collector, since they are micro laggs that come up every few seconds. You could try to not instantiate and destroy your gameobjects, but set them active and inactive and reset their positions. The driving inbetween lanes is probably due to small errors for every lane switch. Instead of adding to the position, you could try to find a way to set the position every time.
Great usage of the theme, awesome graphics and music. Love it, this game just rocks! Got addicted right away :sweat_smile:
When I saw the picture of the main character float-driving a no-car, I knew I had to try it out.
I like the idea of assembling the car on the fly, though the penalty for collecting a repeated part can be harsh. Personally, I think it would work better if all parts were listed by name - collected highlighted, uncollected dimmed - so that I can tell which parts I've yet to collect and which parts I've already got. Aside from that it's a pretty generic endless runner, but a fun one, still.
Not much to say about the audiovisuals, except that they worked well with the game. Also, I liked the game over screen with the main character sitting on the tree - a silly conclusion to an even sillier run.
Got 15k on my second run. Not getting anywhere near the 60k scores others reported here... ^^'
Overall, an entry that is just as fun as it is funny. Good job.
I liked more than I think I would. Simple but well made game, cool concept and execution. Congrats!
Hah, nice and simple mechanics, good theme implementation!
@alphish Great idea for the list of car parts by name ! I'll make an update based on your idea ! Thank you ! :wink:
Very nice idea and execution! Very hard game though
Not bad. It is a nice idea indeed. The music track should have been a little bit longer, the car parts were a bit hard to see and I had to get really close to identifying them. That's all really. Great idea.
You should have a separate link for your post-jam modified game. Right now you just have the one link which points to a new version with the checklist, which was not in the version I played last week.
@tohubohu The WEBGL version is modified but I listed all the things that changed after the jam version in the LD Jam page description. All the Windows and Android versions are still on Itch io.
I found having no car to be very amusing! The gameplay was surprisingly fun and music was great. Reading the text was difficult though, must be my eyes.
Haha very funny idea! Gameplay was a bit basic but still entertaining. Graphics could look better with some tweaking of lighting and colors though I think.
I played the new version with the checklist, and I've found the gameplay to be more focused in general, and it was nice when I reached that Zen state when I have all the car parts and all I need is to dodge. So I think this worked out for me. ^^
(the final score I got on this playthrough was 58606, by the way)
Super fun comme jeu! La façon de traiter le thème est top!
Je trouve très intéressant le fait qu'un objet déjà récupéré devienne un obstacle. La liste c'est très utile aussi. C'est un jeu où il faut être assez concentré car il faut lire en même temps, mais ca se fait étonnement bien! Je me demandais: est ce que le fait d'avoir plusieurs pièces de voiture influe sur notre score ou est ce que ca sert uniquement de "jauge de vie" ?
Les graphismes se prêtent bien au jeu je trouve, et le personnage me fait beaucoup rire :) Pareil pour la musique c'est toujours dans le même esprit amusant!
Un jeu très réussi, bravo!
@t-bo The new update felt very neat. Generally it felt a bit easier. Chrome version and the lags arround 60k are fixed, good job, but the car drifting to the right is not. from~100k on, it drifted a full lane to the right so that I could avoid all obstacles by dring right of the rightmost lane (see video). I can basically farm endless highscore. So Highscores are useless over 100k. I recorded 200k points for the lols https://youtu.be/XoyOmHDzjJM Desktop Screenshot 2019.10.18 - 00.28.25.13.png
That was fun! I was really confused why some parts, when collected hit me instead of getting collected. At first I thought parts were spawning in the same place as obstacles(which did happen at times) but then I went through the comments and realized that you can't collect the same part twice, hahaha.
Jeu très sympathique, je trouve que l'idée est vraiment bien trouvée et raccord avec le thème ! Les graphismes sont bien réalisés et la petite musique entraînante. Je trouve juste que c'est un peu dur de voir ce qu'il nous manque dans le véhicule, à chaque fois je récupère ce que j'ai déjà et du coup je perds un élément x) Beau travail en tout cas !
Really nice game. Good idea in general, graphics are pretty good for a ludum dare, the mechanics are well made and it is in general fun -and quite challenging-. This game doesn't need anything to "fix", so to say, but I can only talk about improvements -like more sound variety, animations, and player feedback with the right amount of humor-. Given that that's only a matter of time: bravo.
The Music is fucking up after time!
That was funny! I would consider game mechanic when collecting new parts, would somehow change the way we drive (make it faster or easier).
I thought the polygon graphics were nice, and the music helped the silly nature of the game. The arcade gameplay was simple and easy to understand, and a little fun, too. That said, given the jam version doesn't speed up more over time, it was pretty clear to me there was only one way the game would increase in difficulty: throw more elements to crash into. As such, it was pretty frustrating to end up in situations where super-human reflexes were necessary to get further into the game later on. This is, admittedly, a problem with the genre itself, and a bit of a pet-peeve of mine, but I would like to see some measures to at least give the player an illusion that with more practice, they could feel they can further into the game at certain points.
Wow, the idea of the game is very similar to my concept! My idea is also based on the fact that you start with an empty car and you can collect new parts, which are armor!
Good use of the theme :)
@t-bo did you figure out the drifting to the right problem? Btw it also happens if you do not change lanes at all, so the swapping lanes is not the issue of that bug.
Nice game! Better than i expected, gameplay and audio are the best parts. It matches well the theme, funny title,lol
Not the best graphics, but it's 3D, so... Not a big problem.
A very interesting take on the theme. Overall, I really enjoyed the game. The gameplay felt nice, the graphics were cute, the audio was good. I'm not a huge fan of this particular genre of game, but for what the game is, you did a very good job with it. Well done!
Not a bad little game. It's kinda hard to play because it's difficult to see what car parts are coming next. Maybe once you've got the car part it should only generate the stuff your missing.
Fun and challenging - Some sort of nitro/boost ability would be cool, probably with the ability to go through objects while you're boosting (could last a couple of seconds). Also maybe an outline on the text on the side of the road to make reading it easier. I like the build your car as you go mechanic - very unique. An indicator for the parts you don't currently have (green text maybe?) would be good.
Here's my high score :race_car:

Surprisingly fun game. The score system is nice, but the real fun is trying to complete your car. Well done!
Managed to get a full car and got destroyed by cows. 10/10
Very simple idea, but very compelling to play. I was really determined to complete my car. Music loop was maybe to short, but the rest of the audio was fine. I had plenty of fun with this one.
Good stuff :8ball:
My biggest complaint about the game is it's too hard to tell what the pieces on the side of the road are.
This was a fun, challenging and addictive game. Great use of the theme too.
Thanks for the web version! Game is fun to play, and atmosphere is relaxing. Idea is innovative, I had a problem clearly seeing side of the roads however, maybe a camera could move one to the left/one to the right im not sure
A simple game that works pretty well for mobile I imagine. Some of the sound effects got a bit old after a while but it's not a big deal. It also took me a while to figure out that getting an item you already had would damage you as well, so I was stuck for a while due to that. Interesting game, I like how you used the theme here!
I see that you've made a really great job integrating feedback from comments. Thanks to that, I had practically no issues and managed to completely enjoy the game, thanks to the details like checklist, A/D, names of parts, restart... :) This is a perfect example of a simple clever design which a 3-day jam is supposed to manage!
I've managed to find three small issues though... As some people mentioned, there seem to be some performance issues. This also includes a horizontal screen tearing, as small black lines sometimes appear. Also I believe that your algorithm doesn't prevent spawning obstacles which cannot be avoided - but this RNG issue may well reasonably be a part of your design. Also I feel that it's anticlimatic how nothing happens when we assemble a full car - there is some post-LD potential to make it about something more than just chasing inifnite score :) By the way, I've really enjoyed the cow and waving from the tree on the respawn screen, that was a vital part of the experience worthy 5/5 :P
