The html version is not working for some reason. You can check it at itch.io

Hi! I've just played your game and... I'm impressed! I really like your graphics and all this urban style Also, those little ghosts are very funny, but they contrast whole game too much Thank you for releasing!

kabbi 2023-05-01 21:39

It's pretty cool to explore night city layout! Especially with some unexpected huge buildings

I found the version embedded in LDJam to be working for me. Congrats on the game - it plays pretty well. I wish the arrow updated a bit quicker when you pick up a box or get to the next delivery point. I felt I had to hang around or drive in circles for a little bit (half a second?) and with the ghosts it made the game feel a little more sluggish. The driving and the core loop was fine though. Good work :clap:

Cool game. Different cars, wheel traces, night city and of course Sir Crock create great crocobusiness aesthetics. The gameplay though has small downsides for me. You have to stay some time on delivery point to deliver while those ghosts eat you alive. Guess it was planned to break away from them first, but when you have to deliver the package to the nearest block or even at the same as you took it it feels painful. Still it's fine and solid and I personally enjoyed, wish you a good jam

very good concept. very good job.

aschab 2023-05-02 11:25

@kazatan Thanks for the feedback! I updated it so that the arrow updates when you pick up or deliver. It was doing it at the end of the animation, I knew I had to change it but always forgot while polishing a little before submiting.

aschab 2023-05-02 11:26

@lima-victor Thanks for the feedback! I updated it so that the pick up and delivery instantly give you the next part of the mission.

Nice one! Loved the graphics (mostly the lighting) and audio. I could run around endlessly getting and delivering packages.

danknstein 2023-05-02 12:11

nice work! enjoyed the lighting and the old school original GTA vibes. got my top score with quicky which was 11, that top speed when you get the 4x speed bonus with quicky is outragous! loved it.

aschab 2023-05-02 12:15

@trakina @danknstein Glad you enjoyed it, thanks a lot for the feedback!

Good job. Though it was confusing for me at the beginning,(ps. the diamond is too small), i still had a lot of fun after i understood how to play. I guess if there was some weapon to deal with the ghosts there would be more fun?

linkway 2023-05-02 14:24

Graphics is cool. Movement is a little sharp. Overall, nice job.

samoussa 2023-05-02 15:45

It took me a few seconds to get a hold of the feeling of driving as well, but once I got it it was very fun to run around town and deliver packages. Nice lights and old style GTA vibes. Good job!

gerolmed 2023-05-02 17:44

The movement is a bit difficult to get into for me. Other than that nice work!

wolfier 2023-05-02 17:47

My couple of notes are: The bike is infinitely superior to the car, because its faster and has better turning and that i think the ghosts spawn too close to you, since you have to stop to deliver, you have to find an exit rout almost immediately.

qin-bugong 2023-05-02 19:48

Remind me of web games I used to play, nice game!

cireneikual222464 2023-05-02 21:41

I was zooming for quite a while, and then got destroyed by a horde ghosts! Good job overall, the dialogue in the beginning could be slowed down a bit I think though.

boytoycomrade 2023-05-02 22:11

cool game! a bit hard to get through and a bit stressfull but moody, loved it!!!

stellarr2 2023-05-03 00:11

Fun game, was a little hard at first to control the car but after a few tries I was able to get better and complete more deliveries. The art is pretty good and I liked the music. I also liked how some spots on the map would slow you down, those cobblestone floors and all, made me try to take different routes instead of trying to squeeze between gaps. Overall fun game.

cylvlpak 2023-05-03 08:00

Interesting idea, reminds me of "grand theft auto 2") Good job

darchankaen 2023-05-03 10:08

Nice gameplay and funny art. And this croco is so enjoyable!

pete-valeo 2023-05-03 16:26

It was a little unclear where I was supposed to go at first, but once I figured out the little white diamond shape was the arrow, it all made sense and I was able to actually play! The lighting effects were super cool, and I really appreciated the commentary from the croc. Collision detection was sometimes a little unpredictable, but the feel of the momentum of the different vehicles more than made up for it - it was super satisfying to drive/turn/stop on the package delivery pads. Music and sounds were perfectly appropriate for a LD game. Overall, very nicely done!

defrag 2023-05-03 16:43

Thanks for putting the radar arrow in. I really don't like wandering around maps not knowing where to go. I went with the motorcyle and got 8 packets delivered before ghosts took me from positive 60 seconds to negative 60 in about a second. That felt a little punishing, but perhaps I'd reached the end of the intended game loop.

The croc dialogue seemed pretty straightforward. What drove the decision to go with ChatGPT-generated scripts instead of just doodling them out yourself?

perrin 2023-05-03 17:23

I think the ghosts are a bit too accurate at tracking with you to make an interesting obstacle

haymakercoding 2023-05-03 19:07

I enjoyed the sound and driving mechanics, nice job!

mar-zockmeister 2023-05-04 00:43

The game was quite fun :smiley: But I think that the destinations of the packages are a little bit to close to the pickup area. I had the feeling that I missed a lot of the map.

aschab 2023-05-04 08:16

@mar-zockmeister The map is procedurally generated :D The area of the pickup and delivery increases with time, but I think I got too shy of putting it too far away. Thanks for playing and the feedback!

ironcutter 2023-05-04 14:10

It's nice, but often the destination spawns in the same place of the pickup, meaning the delivery happens without me doing anything.

toc 2023-05-04 18:48

Pretty Fun! I liked the crocodile giving me the instructions.

remus 2023-05-04 20:06

Fun game! The proc gen map is pretty good, I like the graphics and the sfx. The ghosts(?) got me pretty easily in every run but I tried at least. xD Decent game overall. Good job!

profugo-barbatus 2023-05-04 20:24

Fun, but had a few bugs just in the one run.

I had three packages spawn on the same pad, to be delivered to the same pad - So I just sat there racking up half the stack.

I had only a few seconds left in a run, hit the 5s time pause powerup, and got hit by a bundle of ghost things at the same time. My timer went to zero, but I didn't die, and could keep driving - the ghosts just stuck to me, but couldn't deduct time or die. The game persisted in this state, let me pick up a package, deliver it, and then delivering it set me to -11 seconds and killed me.

In my second run, I got stuck when I was on the delivery circle and it just wouldn't deliver, regardless of where I parked.

all that being said, it was fun to play, I liked how the different vehicles behaved and how they looked. The map was pretty basic, but the character art was nice and seeing the additional quips was a good reason to keep driving.

aschab 2023-05-05 10:02

@profugo-barbatus Thanks for playing! And thanks for the feedback. Certainly a lot of bugs :) I maybe overscoped for a jam.

purpledartfrog 2023-05-05 17:48

Good job with this one... one thing I wondered ... the croc kept ranting about delivering ... even if just delivered a package and not picked up a new one yet :smile:

:purple_heart: :dart: :frog:

gordienkogames 2023-05-05 20:11

great, but mission too short, i want to drive)

johnsensei 2023-05-05 21:37

Nice. I think the game froze in the WebGL version when I clicked QUIT at the end.

igli 2023-05-06 20:03

Nice graphics, my highscore was 5 :D

geckoo1337 2023-05-11 14:58

Well done. Fun game with a classical gameplay, but it fits with the theme. There is a big amount of work for the visuals and the mood is well done. I noticed many good things which show us that you are skilled, but something is still strange. The car does not move smoothly. There is something wrong somewhere in your code or the WebGL version sucks (it is not possible because the little ghosts move without any problem). However I have fun playing. Thank you for this entry. I wish you the best in your new career ++
