I like this game because it reminds me of real life, lmao.

Also, I like the car sound, I know that car sounds can be a pain in the ass. :D Ah, almost forgot - car and city models look really, really good!

Great job!

nsadie 2022-04-05 09:46

Good, innovative use of the theme - also, unfortunately, very realistic in the current times :smile: I enjoyed the game play, although I got stuck on the grass in the second level on some grass a couple of times (because I am a terrible driver).

There are also some weird clipping issues on the grass edges where I can see through the terrain.

collin-visser 2022-04-05 19:57

@nsadie thanks for playing my game - the weird clipping is because I do not know how to use blender properly

collin-visser 2022-04-05 19:57

@benk86 thanks you very much for playing my game

nsadie 2022-04-05 19:58

Haha

jonrei 2022-04-05 20:00

I fell under the level :)

hartvichio 2022-04-05 20:01

I feel like every car should have a currency converter next to the fuel indicator :D. The fuel running out so painfully fast fit the theme pretty well.

collin-visser 2022-04-05 20:09

@jonrei - Thank you for trying to play the game - jip that will happen - first level is very easy to do - second level I tried to put in collisions to stop the player but I suck at blender still

tested 2022-04-05 23:16

nice concept

korfi 2022-04-06 20:27

I liked the idea, fits the theme very well! The graphics looked nice as well! :D

blue-pin-studio 2022-04-07 03:39

This is a cool idea! I'm a sucker for driving games, especially non-racing ones. Good entry :D

poshdan 2022-04-07 04:57

An interesting take on the theme! The physics really had it out for me, i fell through the ground a few times, and i could not climb a slope while flooring the gas. With additional polish, this could be a great game. I liked the aesthetics. Solid effort for a one man game!

darwyn 2022-04-07 18:05

Fun to play, nice idea

beelzeboss 2022-04-07 18:05

Needs a bit of polish with the steering and acceletation, but really creative and kinda depressing as it reminds me or real life XD (you should of opted in the mood category). Good job!

rost 2022-04-07 18:16

steering is a bit though, graphics are nice low poly

kr0s 2022-04-07 18:19

Neat game, but needs a lot of polish - I got stuck in many places. Also, having S as a key for braking would improve the gameplay a lot.

seppskit 2022-04-07 18:21

Nice idea. The graphics have turned out well. The controls are also good. Only I didn't quite understand the first level. I never got anywhere. Mybe i am to stupid. But good work!

woahitsjeff 2022-04-07 22:40

Instructions unclear, fell out of world 😅 aside from that, well done!

jirushi 2022-04-08 01:14

Nice little game, I wish there was more polish here and there though

yaen 2022-04-08 01:15

Driving through mountains has never felt this immersive before :o All jokes aside, this sure has a car in it. Wait, that was another joke. Dang idk uh. I liked the best jar. It truly was the best. Hmm. What else. Ah right, honestly quite ambitious to make a whole driving game for a jam like this. And you did it. Congrats!

collin-visser 2022-04-08 16:52

@tested thank you for taking the time to play my game

collin-visser 2022-04-08 16:52

@korfi thanks for the feedback

collin-visser 2022-04-08 16:54

@blue-pin-studio I'm glad you enjoyed playing the game. Thanks for taking the time.

collin-visser 2022-04-08 16:56

@poshdan thanks so much for the feedback. Yes, you are right about the polishing. The 72 hours always go by so fast and I feel there's never enough time for the polishing. Will keep trying to work on that.

collin-visser 2022-04-08 16:57

@darwyn thank you for taking the time to play my game and give feedback

collin-visser 2022-04-08 16:59

@beelzeboss thank you for your feedback. I didn't think it would be good enough for the mood category. Worth considering for my next game, thanks.

collin-visser 2022-04-08 16:59

@rost thank you

collin-visser 2022-04-08 17:01

@kr0s thanks for the feedback. Yes, it still needs lots of polishing. I agree with you that the S key would have perhaps been a more intuitive key to use for braking. Will keep that in mind for future games.

collin-visser 2022-04-08 17:02

@seppskit thanks for the feedback. Sorry to hear that you couldn't get far. If you have the time to perhaps try again: You have to click on the task at the bottom left corner to select it. An arrow will then pop up above the road which will show you where you need to drive. Your destination will show up as pink floating rings.

collin-visser 2022-04-08 17:05

@woahitsjeff you're not the only one that struggled - sorry about that. You have to click on the task at the bottom left corner to select it. An arrow will then pop up above the road which will show you where you need to drive. Your destination will show up as pink floating rings. Hope that helps and that you will maybe have the time to try again.

PS: Yip my collisions suck a bit so if you stray off the road you are very likely to fall to another dimension LOL

collin-visser 2022-04-08 17:08

@jirushi thank you so much for your feedback. You are not alone in saying that the game needs more polishing, and you are not wrong. I still struggle a bit with keeping my scope of a game narrow enough so that I will have enough time to polish before submitting. Will keep trying.

collin-visser 2022-04-08 17:10

@yaen LOL thanks so much for the feedback and your generous comment on the scenery :P I'm glad you enjoyed playing the game. Thanks for taking the time.

fluri 2022-04-08 20:50

It's yellow and not happening. The mood is chaos and impatient. Screen Shot 2022-04-08 at 16.49.58.png

cover-club-media 2022-04-08 22:37

Pretty fun game man, well done!

bodcodes 2022-04-09 07:28

On theme and fun to play, a very ambitious jam project! Quite challenging to get to some of the destinations, I did some fun reversing. Worth expanding beyond the jam, well done.

xparker 2022-04-10 18:25

neat entry, audio for handbrake a bit interesting when standing still.

did you do it by yourself? Nonetheless a solid entry.

joror 2022-04-11 19:20

Pretty funky mechanic! Was hard to figure out how to be efficient - not my style I guess :laughing: I think I made it to the end of the first track, but not sure if it registered that. Where was I supposed to be there?

collin-visser 2022-04-11 20:20

@joror thank you for trying. You should have seen a petrol station. That is the final destination.

collin-visser 2022-04-11 20:22

@xparker thank you for playing my game. The audio is from sound packs I have.

jesus-gonzalez 2022-04-14 15:31

I rate this very high in "fun". Simple and really effective mechanics.

biku 2022-04-14 15:48

It was fun to be driving but the illumination on the first level made me hard to play it. When you turn left or right the car turns in that direction too much in my opinion.
