Good work. I laughed when I crashed into a tree and it said "That was unavoidable."
Bit rough around the edges but a good try.
Biggest problem was that one part of the world seems to cause the car to turn on its own, near a group of trees.

Dear @Widdershin,
Thank you for playing my Game. I hope you had fun.
I know, that this bug exists. The truth is, that i was not able to fix it. Was it still playable?
With best regards Max

The music and visuals is really good. The controls is okay, but for some reason it really difficult to avoid the trees. Overall a pretty good jam game. Well done.
@maxi1324 it was still playable, I didn't finish it but I got 18/20 factories on the second stage :) was a bit frustrating when it would drive into the tree but it was okay.
Other than the car turning bug the game was quite fun! Great job!
I'm not sure if its intentional that the game forces me to drive into a tree at some point, but its hilarious nonetheless, good job!
Well done and fun game I was able to finish it, the turning bug was a bit of a challenge. Crashing into the factories was really satisfying!

This was a nice entry! Was very fun using a speed boost and hitting all the machines
awesome game, the controls were challenging especially when the truck starts turning randomly. but it does have a nice feedback loop it felt rewarding to destroy all the factories, well done!
I found out that if you have an orb and pick up another you boost immediately. I boosted straight into a way. Nice graphics.
Interesting game, bright colors. Just a question: why is the music is tense? Basically a very cool game!
best score 18 points, 1 factory left. controls seems changing (or a tree attractions?). The Buuum sound make me laught. Love the orbital movement, I will check source code for it. Great entry, thanks for your work

This was fun! I like the speed orbs and I really liked how the clouds looked in the sky that wave around a lot. The game is nicely paced and I could see this growing into a successful game if you keep working on it! Like the other comments mentioned, there was a part that would make my car steer away a bit

I liked the drifting, nice compensation for not being able to set the speed. Altough I don't know if it's intentional but if I changed directions during a drift, then I was just going straight. Maybe it's itnetnitonal but it felt strange to me. The boom sound effect made me smile.

This was a lot of fun driving and drifting around a tiny planet! I laughed at "oh no! the climate sceptics are here!". It seemed that sometimes my car would try to steer me in a direction on its own? Was that intentional?
Also, I think it was the "weapons" that the sceptics brought, but it was bright and pink like the boost, and I didn't think it was a bad thing to avoid. Maybe think about how you could make it more obviously something to avoid?

Dear @hawkin,
Thank you for Playing:) I am glad you've enjoyed playing my game.
The thing with the automiatc steering is a bug. I knew about it, but didn't know how to fix it. When i think back, I should have turned it into a feature and place at this spot something that would visually drag you inside it, so it's no suprise anymore. But that's the great about Game devlopment. Each time you create a game you learn and improve your skills.
The thing with the misplaced colors was not clear for me during the jam. To my defense, the Enemies where one of the last things I've implemented and it was very late. But you're right, i should have taken another color.
With best Regard max

Dear @ambrits ,
Thank you for playing:)
Actually the drifting thing was intentional. But i didn't had the time to playtest a lot. So maybe i should have removed it. I don't know. I tried to imitate the drifting of Mario Cart, but i didn't work that well.
With best regards max:)

Dear @tinykidtoo
Thank you for playing my game:) Actually the immediate boost thing is not a bug. It was intentionally.

Dear @aderpychickenstudios
Thank you for playing:)
I am really glad the crashing into factories feels statisfying. This was my goal. That's why i've added camerashake, paricles and sound
With best regards Max:)
destroing things is fun, no question about it, destroing while drifting is even better

Hi there, nice game, I enjoyed playing it, especially your sounds are nice!
Mostly it just lacks polish in a number of spots. There are overlapping UI elements (1440p monitor), sometimes it's hard to keep the car in a straight line (probably because we're driving on a sphere) and after dying, you have to exit with Alt+F4 (at least Escape didn't do anything).
But as I said, these are not major issues, so good job!

Dear @lazzor ,
Thanks you for playing:) Thanks you for your Feedback:) Next time i'll try do these things better.
But about the alt +f4 Thing, there should be a restart Button. Is there None, If you Play it?
With best regards max:)

Hi @maxi1324
Yeah, there is a replay button, which definitely works fine if you want to replay the game. But there is no exit button in case you want to exit the game :P But again, that is totally okay. In my previous entries I also forgot that a couple of times or simply didn't have enough time. For me it's just all a part of the fun and learning experience of this event! :)

ahh, now i understand ok

I had fun with the main game mechanics. The combo doesn't sound very meaningful because the factories sometimes are very far from each other, so there's no way for the player to keep your combo. The car being randomly dragged to the trees seems a bit unfair too =( But all the rest of the game sounds VERY fun. Congrats on the entry.
PS.: I can't figure out why I can't rate your game.
Nice game! Loved destroying the factories. The controls are quite strange though and it's hard to understand why the tree is trying to attract and kill me.

Cool game. Drifting was the last thing I expected in a game jam :P
The game was pretty cool. I got on top of a wall and it just left me in the air. Couldn't get out of the game had to use task manager.
Still, all in all a good game and well done with the hill like driving.

I love the concept, so simple but yet so original and funny. Great job :3
I had fun-- made it to the last round, but didn't quite beat it. I felt like I was often fighting my car-- it wanted to go its own way. But that, combined with the creepy repetitive music, made the game feel like a bizarre sort of nightmare. Not sure if that was intentional.
The "weapons" looked like the boosts, which was confusing.
I'm glad you let the player restart at the last wave.

Neat game. Liked being able to destroy things.
it was quite satisfactory driving around destroying everything! the smoke after running into a factory is a bit too strong, it obscure the view too much, especially on the last wave. Anyway it was quite fun to play, thanks for adding the controller option too. good job!

Other than the car turning bug, nice game. The smoke after crashing blocked the view. But nice game
Good job! It was easy enough to pick up and drive around for a few rounds until I completely delayed the inevitable.

This was an amusing game. I appreciated the speech bubbles while driving around. I assume my character was cracking open a beer for every factory destroyed because the vehicle control got all wonky after a few hits. The music seemed a bit more fitting for an existential crisis than driving, but I guess it was better to have it than not at all.

At first it seemed too simple but I was surprised how satisfying it was to combo several factories in a row, meanwhile collecting speed orbs. I couldn't tell, were the locations random? Either way, this was fun, great job!
I enjoyed this, it was tricky and crashing when I only had a couple of factories was annoying! Oh and the sound effects were great. "Boom, boom, boom"

Good job for doing this solo. As an artist, the art could be improved but for a solo it is commendable because of the time constraint and lack of resource. I approve your game which I enjoyed.
There's something trance-like with driving the car in that music. Good work!

I think many gamblers will agree with me that online hotspots are one of the most popular slot games. Why they are so popular you can read in this article https://polskie-kasyno.com/polskie-sloty-online/gry-hot-spot/ where they talked about it in detail. They also explained where you can find a free version of these slots to play yourself without any risk.
