looks cool
The gameplay is innovative and the graphics look good. The biggest difficulty is that you need to have a friend lol.
I still haven't figured out how to play on two computers. I launched it on one. After a while, the player with the map loses connection.
From the driver's point of view, you can see that the car body is missing on the right.
Probably, if we played together, it would be interesting, but my friend and I still haven't figured out how to do it.
@art-alchemist hmm that’s strange! It uses a rudimentary p2p connection with NAT punchthrough, so it can definitely give hiccups with certain connections and/or ISPs. Haven’t seen it lose connection over and over, that’s a shame…

Mom can we get mcdonalds no we have mcdonalds at home mcdonalds at home
This was pretty fun to be able to play with a friend! Very cool seeing that in a game jam, well done!
@MorePixels Thanks a lot bro, we sure did have fun making this. Also played it on stream last night with a friend and he wanted to keep going and going and going. Good stuff!
Such a great concept here! Thumbs up!
The game looks fun, I really enjoyed the audio with all the songs, sound effects and even the radio in the car, AMAZING. I don't know if it's a bug but the car looks cut in half and there are a couple of issues with playing with a friend. I'm not sure where the main theme of depth is in the game but overall it's really nice. 👍
LOS ABISMOS That is really good :)
i like sounds and art
@Franz267 Thank you so much for your kind words, they really bring up our spirits!
About the theme. There are sinkholes in some places of the map, when you drive in them you'll fall towards the "Depths" of hell. As you may be able to see, Satan is keeping house about everywhere ;)
Making such graphics in 3 days is very cool. 3 It's difficult to play the game, but you did it amazingly!
I tried to play with friend (both on linux) we could not join, person that joins have gray screen with score at top
@kristijan Please try adding the code before clicking join game, I made the same mistake before!
The graphics are awesome, I really like the artstyle!
@musashi I added code before clicking join, also we tried to switch host, but still same thing.
The game looks really fun and the driving already feels great to control, I was sadly not able to connect (I was on Linux and my friend on Windows). The theming is great and the description is incredibly hype.
Fun take on "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" style of game! Wackdonalds gave me a good chuckle. However, the overall gameplay got old very quickly and I feel like the description is a bit misleading for the experience you get. Some if not most things described simply do not happen. I would love to see what this game could've been outside of the constraints of a gamejam!
Very ambitious to go for multiplayer during a jam! Sadly, had quite a few connection issues, even with two computers on the same network. It refused to connect sometimes, and always kicked one of us out after a few minutes. From what I did get to play, it was a cool co-op experience and has some fun bones! Some sort of time pressure would really make it shine.
I hate to ask, but was AI used for the radio? The jam page description, strange voices, and sheer amount of music which abruptly switches every 60 seconds all seemed a bit off. If so, you might want to opt-out of the audio category - gen AI is only allowed if it's not the vast majority of assets in a given category, or if you create meaningful derivatives of the output.
@fragskye the only ai used is the voices you hear during the "fake ads" that play. The music is from music packs of Ovanisound which I bought :)
It changes so abruptly because I put in a 60 second loop in FMOD (the ovani music files are 60 seconds, long that's why) and had no more time to tweak it further. Had to make choices on where to place the rest of my focus during the Jam!
Very cool concept! I love multiplayer games focused on communication. I think if you plan on expanding on this, it would be nice to make it a little more challenging, like maybe put a time limit on the deliveries and other types of obstacles on the way. For some reason, when my friend hosted, he kept crashing and dying in flames, but when I was hosting, I could hit anything and never died haha
@borabee thanks for the feedback! We ran out of time with the time limit & obstacles, the multiplayer part + modelling + dynamic sound design turned out to be very, very ambitious.... Getting the p2p connections up and running without dedicated servers and all.
The sinkholes are a bit bugged out, rarely visible and when you hit them you die in flames.
Driving mechanics are fun, however we found the navigation to be a bit irritating with a lack of a compass or any other navigation assistant. If the game played like the page describes it I think it would be a fun time, but over several minutes of gameplay we did not see even a single sinkhole. Therefore it was just a drive from point A to point B with no danger. Art and music were great for a jam, and we had no issues with multiplayer. Desperately needs a volume slider. Overall a good proof of concept that could lead to a fun game with some fleshing out of the mechanics.
This style of painting is so interesting and very fun! I also invite you to experience my game
I was able to get my buddy to try this out on our stream tonight. We actually had a really great time navigating the city. There's real potential with this concept. More of our thoughts in our VOD [here](https://www.youtube.com/live/ZGWGev_rONc?si=dwFxVA1saGMaKjcu&t=5884).
@emsea awesome to see you two play our game and having fun!
