The gameplay was very entertaining and fun. I enyoed it a lot, but the whole map, building, cars, atc. are an exact copy of hole.io game. Nevertheless good game.

I really enjoyed to play this game.

I imagine playing this game in VR mode. Maybe with asymetric gameplay like "Keep talking and nobody explode". One player control the ambulance with VR headset and another player is a copilot and have a map to give driving instructions.

Add a timer can make the game more fun.

Good job.

JAJAJAJA! Enviro Bear 2000 vibes! Got stuck with some lampposts for a few minutes. Great game!

I think the wacky player movements and the moving city were very interesting. It was fun to just move around with the player and watch the arm jiggle.

With the game, I found it very hard to control my vehicle properly. There were times, I felt I should've been turning but I wasn't. I also got stuck many times on walls or in pot-holes and couldn't turn around or save myself. This was slightly annoying.

The game was, for the most part, easy to understand. The objective was clearly listed, and it was clear where I needed to go.

Overall, this game totally has potential to become a full game. I think that, with more responsive controls, this game could be really fun.

Also, I agree with @duck-reaction, I can totally see this game being turned into a VR game. The art style and its theme completely support the VR medium.

Good job :)!

It's a simple and good idea. Some music will be great. Controls are very weird and complex but it is what makes this game different.

@william-nomikos Thank you for your detailed review! =)

This is an amazing game, I love the gameplay and the overall quality of the game! well done!

Fun little game of trying to do two things at once. It's a good concept and just need some more polishing. That being said, the crazy hand movement is cool to look at even though control is difficult. Great work!

Reminds of one of the best games ever made: Enviro-Bear 2000!

It's really nice, but it's really annoying to control. I wish the other arm wouldn't recenter the wheel constantly, it would've been much easier. Also a way to look around in a sensible way.

And I certainly wouldn't want to be picked up by a paramedic that drives like this!

Really interesting gameplay - hard to master but really funny :D I like it.

Cool gameplay concepts but the steering wheel needed more precise control

L. O. L. The graphics were pretty great, but I see that you didn't make those. As far as the driving mechanic goes, it's hilarious, and I would have kept playing, but my eyes are hypersensitive to first-person cameras, and I had to quit after rescuing one guy.

A great looking game with an interesting mechanic, I'm impressed you managed to make this in a weekend. Although I do understand it's meant to be difficult, I think there is fun difficulty and annoying difficulty. This tends to veer into the latter, but not through lack of effort on your part. The controls are too clunky and unresponsive to play it for a long time; even once I started to get the hang of it, I just couldn't shift the gear far enough down presumably because the camera wouldn't look further down. The steering was also very off kilter, e.g I would be turning left and it would start going right (I assume because of the left hand pulling it away, but I'm not sure). This may have been a bit too ambitious for the time limit, although you were very close to nailing it! Ignoring the unintentionally funky controls, you have some well implemented functionality. On a side note, I would recommend tying esc to quitting the game, it just makes the whole experience more player friendly. A genuinely fantastic effort, I hope you keep going with it :smile:

I wish the controls were more polished! I like the graphical elements and how you put it all together and I really think I would enjoy this game if I wouldn't struggle that much with the controls and geting stuck... Nice entry altogether! :)

I really like the way to control the vehicle. The camera can use some polishing, as it's moving rather slowly, and sometimes looking down from the windscreen when I need to see the road. Btw, it's funny how the cars just bounce into the air and then drive away when they run into the ambulance. XD The code that went into the overall system seems pretty impressive as well. :O
