Really cool mood and atmosphere, nicely done! Only thing I would say is that I had a bit of trouble figuring out how exactly to refuel. I went to the spot on the map but couldn't seem to find anyway to do it (I tried parking in the white circle where the fuel was on the map, then tried it with a customer but neither of those worked.)

It Might be worth adding instructions on restoring fuel and health to your description / adding a tutorial screen, but the game itself plays really nicely.

Nice mood, the topdown view looks surprisingly good with this art style. Difficulty is brutal, though :D people, fuel, timers, the only winning move is not to play lol.

Quite impressive work for ~7 hours of work!

Really fun game! It was a lot of fun trying to dodge the cars while also paying attention to my fuel and time! The only bit of criticism i have is that i could just drive over all the buildings taking away a bit of the fun trying to dodge other cars and making it easier to manage with time and fuel, but still a really enoying game!

This was great. Took me a couple of attempts to figure out all the mechanics, but once I did, I had a lot of fun.

The game is quite fun! The graphics could've been better but they are completely fine for a game jam game! :smile:

Soundtrack, and graphics, and gameplay make for a great retro-arcade feel! I'm pretty sure some deliveries take more time to make than you gain seconds for making them, which is not a great feeling as a player. I'd enjoy seeing this game developed more!

Gone pretty strait forawrd with the idea, the audio was a bit disturbing, and could've made the map bigger to see destination, maybe some more gas stations but overall solid game!

after the first time i collided with a wall, i could suddenly just drive through them

Great idea and could be a lot of fun if you fixed some stuff: 1) make it faster (or at least feel faster); 2) make very clear visual indications of where passengers are and their destination; 3) make the minimap bigger; 4) drifting would be cool. Congrats on submitting!

I was reminded a bit of Night Driver, the Atari 2600 game.

It took me a while to figure out what I had to do, but then it became smooth sailing. One way to improve this game is to make it impossible for the car to go off-road (it seems I could go anywhere on the map). Music could also use some variety. Just some suggestions if you want to develop this game further. Other than that, the controls are intuitive and it was challenging trying to get the delivery done in time without running out of gas.

This is pretty good! A simple taxi games that works well. It's unfortunate that you can drive through the walls, but I guess I'll to pretend that that's not the case. I like how the sound that the taxi makes works as the base of the beat of the music.

This game reminds me of the O.G. Grand Theft Auto for PS1, it had a similar top-down chase camera. I also used to play a lot of Crazy Taxi (which inspired my entry for this Jam, btw), so I definitely played this for much longer than a lot of the other entries I've played thus far lol.

Cute pixel art, solid controls, good sound. Amazing job!
