Wow! I really love the graphics and the game feel! Great job

Wow, it was super fun! By far the most fun game I have seen on the jam. The core loop is fun by itself and makes me wanna play again and again but you went further and adde upgrades. Cool, love it!

Oh wow! I didn't expected that. So fun to make this crash!!!

Haha I never thought I would play a roguelike insurance fraud :smile: This is so cool and game feel is solid! I loved the car particles

Really loved the cartoony graphics and enjoyed being pushed around haha

This is a very funny aah game. After Rush hour 3 the game is practically automatic. I also got the (+$100 west -$50 east) and (+$100 east -$50 west) upgrades at the same time, which should theoretically give me $50 for escaping to either side but it did not seem to work. Where is the west and the east? When I touched the railguards nothing happened, and touching either tunnel entrance did not do anything either. Do I have to go from one railguard to another without being hit? I think that the game has very solid performance, physics and sound effects, but I could barely hear them, perhaps you should up the volume on them. Approved!

@andriybyelikov Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I didn't have any time to do any balancing. So the first stages are kinda hard and then it gets really easy, haha! The go east and west upgrades are triggered at the end of the turn, when the car automatically escapes. I was gonna add signs on top of the tunnels signaling which one is east and which one is west but I ran out of time! Basically the one on the right at the beggining is east

I played this far longer than I expected to. I think I maxed everything out as it stopped giving me the option of upgrades, and every round took ages as I just kept gaining more time. It's an interesting take on the theme. Graphics are great (How many wheels and bumpers can one car have). Audio was great too. Other than the balancing issues you mention, this is an awesome entry. Good stuff :8ball:

This game is so much fun—every element works together perfectly. I’d especially love to see a combo system added to crank up the feedback loop lol. Absolutely adore it!

Great concept and great implementation

naru 2025-10-09 20:39

Funny take onn the theme, love it! ^^

very silly concept and cute art style, nice work!

This was weirdly fantastic and fun haha. I immediately thought it would be a racing game, but turned out to be an insurance fraud simulator haha. Great game!

Fun game! I have played it longer than I expected! The upgrades might be a bit overpowered - after collecting every upgrade I could click go and let the game play itself. Overall it is a good entry! Was it inspired by Burnout? :D

Super polished graphics and sounds! Had a real blast getting my car bumped around. The first goal was definitely the hardet. Once I had every single upgrade purchased it became more about trying to dodge the cars in order to be able to end the run :D Is there an end to the game? calm and collected.png

Good game, interesting concept

fusionnist 2025-10-14 18:19

Really funny premise! I love how you just keep losing wheels as you get hit. The progression mechanics are fun, too! Great work here!

Absolutely hilarious. Never would have come up with this concept. It did get really easy really quickly, wish there were more upgrades and obstacles but I had a great time.
