Doctor Psycho

There's a good concept here. I really liked the GTA vibes that come in when you switch into psycho mode.

A few downsides that could be fixed given more time: - I think the steering needs fixing as it didn't feel quite right (you're probably rotating by a fixed amount regardless of the speed), there's a few tutorials on youtube where they create an arcade style top-down racer in Unity and explain the steering calculations. - The game seems to randomly end (unless I suffered damage I wasn't aware of). - There doesn't seem to be a way to restart after a game-over. I needed to quit and reload the game. - There's a few graphical glitches which are probably down to how Unity handles texture coordinates. - A mini-map would be extremely useful. I kept going down dead-ends when following the arrow.

Altruism won't work here (at least, now). Reminds the old top view GTA. But the physics is sooo unstable (if that's the case, though). Anyway, thanks, the music is not depressive (due Covid).

Good graphics and control, but I think the target is way too far from start, I've never reached the target.Maybe the map is too big?

Really cool game! Immediately I remembered how I played in GTA 2 ) + Visuals, sound effects, animations are great! - A little complicated and strange control, but you notice it only when you play for an classic ambulance Well done!

Super fun and really cool mechanic, I honestly had a great time and replayed it a bunch of times ahahha. Nice job! Also the music transitions when the psycho mode hits was dope.

Feels like a nice little love letter to the original GTA. I love the animation when you hit a person and the fly up - though my games ended very suddenly ["oh, i must have gotten -1000 points"] - I feel like this could have been telegraphed better.

Art and music were great, controls are far too slippery to be useful, sadly - being able to swivel on a dime as quickly as you do basically throws off any forward steering you had in mind.

Fix the controls and you have a winner!

Hahaha, I loved this, especially that music drop when you switch. The game-end of -1000 was a bit punishing since you could quickly rack that up smashing into a single car. So I mostly drove while insane.

It is awesome that I get to play GTA 1 again, I remember trying to find a way to play it couple of years back but haven't came up with any answer.

Anyway, quite an achievement, with traffic, pedestrians, tire tracks, decently sized map and all (how did you do it btw, reused any code?). Swapping between two modes is a contrast that works well, and it satisfies both needs, to be a good driver and to just run people over. One grief is that when I'm meant to be careful, my instincts tell me that space is a break button, which leads to awkward though funny situations. Anyway thanks for providing me with that GTA1 feeling again.

@kr4ft3r thank you we love the feed back !Yeah the gta 1 feel is what we looked for and it's great that people felt it We made everything during this jam, drew the tilemap for the entire map and made the car and every mechanics, we took a bit of inspiration from a video and changed it to have a better feel of weight due to the size of an ambulance glad you liked it ! :)
