the audio lacking is quite sad regardless of that the game is very good a solid entry nice and fun mechanics I like the aesthetics a lot the font style the 3d models the way the map is designed etc that adds a lot to your entry and I think you can be proud of it since I enjoyed it :smile:
This was a clever take on the theme, and given a little more time this could be a fantastically fun short contained experience. The cops reminded me of Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) back in the day. I enjoyed driving around the city causing mayhem. Nice work with this one!
This was a fun game. The comic gave me a sam&max kinda vibe, I like it. Sounds would've really brought this game alive. Well done!
@feiko, @seth-tal, @tutti-ankka, Thanks for the feedback!
We hated leaving the audio behind, had done some voice clips and everything for win/lose/crashes and game banter, but screwed up our time management and ended up with a couple hours to go making sure we were feature complete. Part of the experience, though. I'll probably go back and add sound at some point.
Chaotic, I kinda liked it but it's a shame you couldn't put some audio on it. I loved the character idea and some music could have some charisma to it, perhaps. A few times my car came to a complete stop. But good job overall!
Cool game, the audio would make it even better! Not sure if it was just me, but the car is very hard to control, sometimes even to move, when its just infinitely jumping on the flor. Those physics could take some improvement. But don't change mechanics of cops, i love them :smile:!
@negdo Sorry you had an issue with the game. Thanks for playing and the feedback!
I think your experience with the car jumping was tied to a performance issue. I noticed during testing that when too many cars are active at once the physics calculations bog down. This causes the car suspensions to bounce and makes the car less responsive. Definitely not intended!
Fun little entry. I ended up just having to circle the city looking for the tunnel, and I happened to pick the wrong side, and circled the whole city!
It got tense when I tried breaking through all the cops at the tunnel. Well done!
Idk what happened, but i couldnt really drive, it was like constantly bumping into something invisible and then stopping :(
I liked it
I really like this game but it the car is very hard to control and always going on the left. City walls are also so frustrating completely stopping the car :( Nice concept overall!
Nice polygon art, I liked the animation of the bills flying around. It could use some instructions.
I liked this game, the gamplay is a bit weird but it was fun. I enjoy these tiny games so much. The only problem I see is the lack of audio aswell, but its overall a solid entry!
This game needed sound =( Apart from that I liked it
Too bad about the sound, but the game itself was fun! It did seem like my car would get stuck sometimes, and I wouldn't be able to move anymore.
Feels like the classic part of GTA, but you can only turn left. Like some others, my car started wobbling often, and was hard to control or do much with at that point. On my second drive, I managed to stay on the road for a while before that happened, and got to fully experience that feeling again where your skateboard always drifts left and you can't stay on the sidewalk.
Great game! Good job dudes!
HA the police meter is straight out the original need for speed MW, nice! I think it has potential, but it really lacks some smooth camera movement and as pointed out by everyone else: audio.
I think I got all of the years of community service. Perhaps I can serve them concurrently....
The controls are very inconvenient. The car constantly rolls to the left. I understand that this is done so that the player crashes into everything and loses money, but I just adapted to this mechanic and used it to my advantage. Opponents stand still if you move far enough from them or do not move at all. You can't beat the game and that's sad. You have to ride in circles over and over again. It would be more fun if there were more jumps or money was given for various tricks. In general, not bad, but it seems that something is missing.
It was fun ! The concept is cool ! I really like the little comic book on your itch page. Nice game !
I like the concept and mood. The only thing is the car was hard to control, it was jumping. But it was fun to play anyway. Thanks!
@saunik Thanks i am glad you liked it. I wish I would have had the time to do it justice, but that is what I think most game jams.
@hoolop @gonzalol @aless @thiago-nascimento @nicksmaddog @testuser @somogy @moffkalast @ninjacatz @saunik @iodi @fermingimpel @ancient-pixel @raphiell Thank you all! So much terrific feedback, it's way more than I hoped for!
We've put out an updated build out on itch.io if you're interested. I've added sound, fixed collision issues, corrected the car wobbling, done some major optimizations and improved the police AI. I think it's much improved now, pretty close to our original vision for the game jam.
Thank you all for making Ludum Dare the fantastic experience that it is!
lol, it was funny, just like gta or nfs racing experience
Bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy
A fun little game, the aggressive police was great. Had a bit of problems with ghost collisions otherwise good job.
I like the graphics and the design of the game but couldn't get far since the car was constantly rotating to the right even without pressing anything in both builds.
I love the concept behind this, very creative use of the theme! The only critique I have is that the physics got really wonky whenever I was hit by a police car. Other than that I really liked your entry, great work!
Nice artstyle and the driving felt ok but collision not always working properly and the missing audio made it much less fun. Theme wise i get what you wanted to do but it felt more like a minor annoyance then a main mechanic/theme

Super cool that you did a Gamejam as couple :-) I love the voice acting ahah ! Its hilarious. Was super fun to play some GTA like game but old school. It reminds me more of the crazy aggressive Cops of the old GTA2/GTA3 series. Not the fancy GTA5 AI. +5 for the crazy Police ahah
Only downside, but maybe is a problem coming from my setup (Razer blade 2019) My car was always going left So I had to counter on the opposite side all the time. Maybe this is intended, but the it would be cool to have a mini ground story to bring this gameplay constraint. For example : when you start you see that you lost the left tires. :-D
