When I finally hit a dump truck, the game just resets and I can't see my score, so I can't come here to brag about what I great honker I am. Some kind of score message would go a long way.
The core gameplay is solid. Reminds me of rhythm games with dodging mixed in.
I liked this game! At some point I do feel it was somewhat impossible to keep going but its a fun game with some cool visuals!
Very nice game, like others have pointed out, it kinda becomes impossible at one point (without some crazy luck). But overall good entry. Plus, can't complain about some good pixelation effects :D
Great gamejam game! Easy to pick up, fun to play, hard to master ;) The graphics are really cool, and the music makes it very tense! There was a problem with the rendering, the screen had a pretty small size, and around it i saw the skybox and some glitching black blob. But it did not get in the way of the gameplay luckily. Overall well done!
i would love to play but im not downloading zips :( im very intrigued though
Fun gameplay and it gets pretty challenging too. The dithered effect is very cool. For me the controls were A&D not A&B like your instructions say but maybe that's for a controller? Nice job
i like it!!!
Cool graphics, and the gameplay works well.
@drtizzle, looks like I forgot to make the UI adapt to different monitor sizes.
@ruthiepee,thank, I didn't notice that I made a mistake when writing the instructions.
@hammeredzombie, I don't like the archives either, but unfortunately the web-build didn't compile, so I had to leave only the zip.
Cool game. The gameplay is simple but working well, and the pixelated graphics are really cool.
Good job :slight_smile:
Oddly enough, this reminds me of some of the minigames from the Looney Tunes Back in Action game made in 2003:

There's nothing to dis-incentivize the player from spamming the space bar at all times, so the little cars don't really end up being much of an obstacle. The music also doesn't appear to reset when the rest of the game does.
@henk, Thanks for the feedback, I thought about your observation about cars and decided that it was really worth increasing the recharge time of the horn. Although, as an option, it would be possible to allow the horn only next to the car, but I didn't want to take away the player's ability to constantly hum, because it gives him some freedom.
Simple game idea. Pretty fun to play. Well done.
I got really into it - the game pulled me in, but I still could not make it past 91 km.
Really nice visual style! Spamming the horn was fun too. It's definitely on the simpler side but that's fine for a game jam. I could see some more types of obstacles adding a lot the the interest of the gameplay.
This game is hard! Cool visual effects I like it. This reminds me of a subway surfer in a good way :) The music is ominous :ghost:
Nice visuals/audio, I kinda wish changing directions was a little faster.
lol, I don't know what magical car ability let's you make all the traffic in front of you fly out of the way, but I want it! This was simple but tons of fun. I kinda wish the cars didn't just fly up and out of the way though, but would actually sometimes fall back to the road and cause cascading collisions into other cars to create a sort of car avalanche. But this was fun! I like the shader effect too.
Great mechanics, very enjoyable overall.
Got up to 61!
Classic mechancis, nice crunchy style!
I got up to 104km :sweat_smile: and I think that was mostly random generation luck towards the end, since it seemed quite common to eventually get given an impossible turn.
Graphically, I really like the vibe, it looked cool, and the music went well with the visuals. There was a weird graphical thing at the top (above the viewport), wasn't sure if it had anything to do with the game or was just a glitch.
Gameplay wise, I had fun. Its a simple game, but well implemented under the time constraints. I think it would have been cool if the horn needed a bit more thought than just spam it when there are cars up ahead. Also I think it feels a bit unfair when you speed up enough that you can't possibly win.
Nice entry! :)
@ciaranw Wow, no matter how much I played, I couldn't go beyond 95 km/h, so I think you're in first place in this game.
Cool visuals! Didn't realize I was able to press space to use the horn until later but still managed to pass through the gaps a few times. Loved that the music speeds up with the car.
I feel like you can make this more interesting and unique by focusing on the dangerous/crazy highway idea, adding something like cars switching lanes, including signals.
Nice work for a compo entry!
I really liked the graphics! I don't mind the high difficulty, I like how straight to the point it is. :slight_smile: In Subway Surfers you'd have to play for 10-15 minutes for it to start actually getting challenging, which feels really stretched out to me. I think it'd be nice if you could also use arrows to switch lanes.
Also please tell me I'm not the only one who sees an amogus ðŸ˜
@theoratkin I have to upset you, it looks like you're the only one who sees amogus.
@shernik Nooooooooo
Nice graphic style
This pixel art style is very cute and interesting. There are also speed and other hints marked on the screen. These feedback elements make me feel like I'm right there in the game. It's a great game!
Great music, and the visuals are really cool too. A very solid entry. Overall, well done!
