Sundae Driver

This game has some classic gameplay that is very good executed! The controls of the delivery van feel a bit strange but are very fun. I love the motor sound :smiley: The graphics are reduced but look pretty cool, e.g. the cars somehow remind me of wooden toys and I like the water and horizon look. The music is also pretty cool!

One suggestion I have is to remove the stalls the the first levels from the later levels so the player can focus more on the part of the city behind the river and maybe feels a bit more progression.

I enjoyed this although it felt like it took awhile for the van to stop.

Fun game! I included it in my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/v0i3VE06y_Y

Wow, those barrier will never hol*PLOUF* Nice entry ! I like the driving feeling and the engine noise depending on the speed. I had difficult to use the hand brake.

I feel the time limit is _very_ tight, even on the first day it feels you absolutely need to go over the sidewalks to get the ice-cream delivered. Though you _can_ drive through most obstacles, so that's fun.

Otherwise a nice atmosphere though! It feels like the sun is just setting. Also the other cars tend to get stuck, but I was just wondering if that can be used somehow as a tactic.

:) Nice game! I really like the driving mechanic. Very nice AI cars and obstacles to maneuver around. I love the blocky art style. And thank you for including some simple audio! Nice execution all around!

I giggled when I figure out it was like a crazy taxi type of experience, love that game.

I like the benches are bigger than the cars. In a post jam I would definitely wanna have a crazy ice cream taxi type of game in my steam library :thumbsup:

nice concept and fun game, really well done for the compo. I found the driving a bit slipery but overall it's well made, I could control it good if I was careful

Quite enjoyed this one! The truck controls are the right balance of easy to use and out of control, makes for some very satisfying turns. A couple of improvements could be allowing the truck to break and slow down more easily, filling the truck with icecream after pressing E once instead of grabbing one ice cream then having to turn around to get another from the icecream shop. A simple gameplay loop made fun by wacky driving, good job :)

The driving was fun, but a little hard to control with all the engine upgrades. I loved the engine sound!

Even though low poly, game looks great thanks to vibrant colors used. Gameplay feels fun, some deliveries made me even hold my breath a little :D

I have completed all 4 days and unlocked all upgrades. I like the graphics and the overworld, really nice! Also the minimap is really cool!

Fun game! I like the surreal art style. The atmosphere reminds me of an apocalyptic wasteland where for some reason everyone still cares about ice cream. The physics of the car are nice too, which is important.

For a game jam game, the physics in this game break surprisingly little. I love driving fast over a bridge and soaring through the air. Whenever the truck falls it starts spinning wildly when getting up again, which is great fun! Sunday traffic and all the jams the player causes makes the game world feel more alive. Graphics are well done, the low poly style fits this type of game well. Nothing bad to say about the sounds but there could be more of them, for example while driving over all the debris.

Nice driving game mechanics! Accelerating and smashing on stuff is lots of fun. The minimalistic graphics are well done but sometimes I felt like driving inside an Ikea warehouse with all the cardboard boxes. Music was good but didn't quite fit the mood. Summer was saved \o/

Nice work! The game ran a little slow on my low-end laptop so it was a bit hard to steer. Also congrats on making a whole map in 2 days. The minimap is really cool and useful, although it might have helped if the minimap rotated with your direction. Really good execution, but in terms of game mechanic/innovation it think the game is missing something to make more it fun or different.

Congrats again!
