Love the graphics and audio! The gameplay is also really well designed, the controls are responsive, and feel good to use. Overall great job!

Really fun gameplay -- and I really liked the difficulty! The sound effects fit very well, and I really enjoyed the boss battled and how the game forces you to keep moving.

love the graphics and theme, very high quality

Really polished! The game is challenging and fun. On my second run I knew where some secrets were to make the run easier. I still got overwhelmed in the boss fight, I'm not sure if there's an easier way to get more health. I like the skill requirement though, it's a good challenge. I felt like my gun wasn't really worth much for killing the hoards. It was mainly helpful when kiting the boss, but the bulk of my damage came from catching lightning and using the big blast ability. Very nice!

Mad impressive and fun to play! Collecting lighting strikes is also an idea that just sounds really cool.

saltyfeesh 2025-10-07 04:36

Really cool graphics.

pres2300 2025-10-07 05:00

Wow, this felt like a fully polished game developed over a long time! Nice work getting it done during a jam!

The amount of polish is fascinating. Really juicy

The game has a nice and polished feel

mackelio 2025-10-07 20:20

damn this game is really well made! i lovved the particle effects like when you boost!! i can really see this as a full game!! it was really cool :D

artalasky 2025-10-07 23:51

I like this. It's a simple but clear and interesting idea.

mxandromeda 2025-10-08 00:02

Really nice graphics and sound. Feedback to the player is great to. Good job!!

I love how this game looks! It is a good take having the player being in a vehicle which can actually move fast and impactfully hit its enemies, but also get slowed down by them too. Also having a goal other than just surviving but actually collecting stuff adds another dimension to the genre. I didn't understand all the text, in the heat of battle I couldn't remember it all, but it was still interesting. Great work!

energy recharge circles could be better represented visually as i mistook for lightning strike point so i avoided them. boss fights could be better as enemies come from every direction so it ends up being a pain to drive, dodge and attack. but outside of that it was a decent experience overall, good work :v:

I liked your game — the controls are complex but feel satisfying. I wish there were more sound variations for shooting, but the sounds are still good.

Pretty solid game here all things considered. Presentation wise it was cool, though I personally thought a different sound could've been used for the car's gun. It sounded a little weak imo.

Visually it looked great, though I won't deny that the readability of the game suffered quite a lot. Some of the enemies blended a little too much into the environment, whereas others stood out more and were more easily noticable.

In terms of the gameplay, I love the boost and AOE attack mechanics. Because you take damage from colliding with enemies, you basically need to try to keep yourself in boost to keep yourself in the fight. This encouraged constant movement and basically made me really need to scout out those blue circles to recharge my car's battery, but also so I can have the aoe attack ready to take out the trash mobs. Very solid combat mechanics here.

Overall, I'd say you guys made a damn good entry. Kudos to y'all

Really solid gameplay. I really liked the lighting mechanic and it felt great to use. I do think it was pretty easy to get overwhelmed but they did not seem to do much damage. There is a lot of information overload in the beginning so the first run I forgot that I could shoot.

pimeko 2025-10-11 16:13

Wow super impressive the quality and amount of things in the game! Love the art style 2D/3D and overall mood :)

swaiky 2025-10-12 07:42

Wow that’s awesome! 😍 The game’s graphics look incredible 🎨, and the experience feels amazing 🎮✨ Such impressive effects — for something made in 72 hours, there’s really nothing to complain about! ⏱️👏 If there were more time, maybe adding a mini-map 🗺️ would make it even better! 🌟

Really polished game, especially for jam. I enjoyed it. Screenshot from 2025-10-12 11-25-21.png

Apart from the driving feel being a bit unfamiliar at first (I feel the vehicle's turning speed is a bit slow.), everything else feels pretty good and fun to play. I really like the pixel graphics and CRT effects.

kazuren 2025-10-12 09:12

Awesome game! The sfx is really well made, the graphics are pretty and the combat is satisfying.

The only issues I had were minor:

1. The map was a bit confusing at first due to the empty spaces and I had to figure out ways around to reach the bosses, an indicator on the ground with path finding could maybe help with this.

2. The steering of the vehicle was a bit too slow I feel in comparison with the speed of the combat, I'd like it if I had a bit more control to dodge enemies better.

Overall great entry! It was very fun to play.

popcat 2025-10-12 11:22

The level of completion is very high, I love this game!

madr 2025-10-12 12:56

Cool and polished game, great job!

custodi 2025-10-12 21:15

It is a great game, has real sense of excitement. I like charge mechanic with lightning. I didn't figure out how to regenerate my health — the automatic regeneration was barely enough.

jojopalambas 2025-10-12 22:13

Super nice game! Addictive gameplay, perfect difficulty! I found a little clip-through-walls glitch that allowed me sub-10 scores in the race haha Glitch.png (there are holes on top and bottom of the map, allowing you to skip basically half of the turns)

yibirabbit007 2025-10-14 11:35

Exciting and thrilling! A group of monsters suddenly burst out of my screen and surrounded me. If I can be fast enough to clear many enemies, it tests my observation and control skills. I don't mind treating it as a two-player game! I had a lot of fun playing!

mibi88 2025-10-15 17:56

Really impressive game, with an impressive amount of contents, amazing graphics and sound, the gameplay is also very interesting, but I found it quite difficult. I tried to play it with a touchpad first, which was nearly impossible. With a mouse it was already way better. A difficulty setting would have been nice.

Overall it's a really impressive game with a truly impressive amount of content! Well done!
