Cool art style and interesting voice acting. Controlling the little character inside the big machine and stepping on buttons feels very fun. It's a very innovative gameplay.
It was a little hard to control, but I guess that is part of the style of this kind of game.GJ
This is a really fun game! The art and audio is quirky and well done, the gameplay is really unique.
I thought it was going to be more awkward to control but it works really well!
The solutions to the things like the lightning are really clever
nice puzzle/timing crossover and the cartoon machine had 90s game vibes!
This was super fun to play! It feels like you're inside of a children's storybook. The ending was unexpected, lol.
Interesting, but a bit hard to play in the end
Very clever, love the idea! In the steep hill with the lightning it was so hard to get up the hill I was wondering if I was doing something wrong with the lightning rod, but in the end I just had to persist enough and eventually made it on top. :laughing:
@paulmag That’s on me :) I didn’t quite get the physics right in Unity. For some reason, the game behaves differently depending on the engine run. Sometimes it’s very easy to get up the hill. Sorry you had to struggle with it!
- The art is really beautiful, such elegant use of images for the background and simple shapes to create a quirky vehicle! - The gate was cool how you had to use multiple parts of the craft to open it, very unique design - My only complaint is I wish the game was longer and had more obstacles/stuff to do. but alas, tis hard to do in 72 hrs. Great work!
This was such wacky fun - the machine would often break down in funny ways, but I didn't mind at all. The art is super cool and fits perfectly.
This is so much fun! I accidentally hit the takeoff button, and it hopped and bounced around, flying super high all on its own. Also, the voice lines that play with every control input are hilarious. The only tricky part is maneuvering it—when I try to get to the second floor, I end up jumping right onto the stairs by accident.
Wow, that's a really cool idea. It would be awesome to have a co-op mode so I could press different buttons with friends.
Very fun game! The voice acting and graphics are out there and I love it, it's so funny! I couldn't get up the steep hill so I used an exploit that makes you jump repeatedly on the takeoff button to go really high and I was able to completely go over the hill and land in the water
I really love this game! This voiceover is the greatful thing i ever listen to
This game is absolutely incredible. I loved it! I even saved it so I can play it again later. The idea is brilliant. Huge respect for doing all the voice acting yourself. Keep it up!
Nice game and cool idea! I had to read the comments in order to figure out how to get up the steep hill, but I feel a bit stupid that I didn't figure it out anyway. Unfortunately I got stuck with the small wheel on the rock just by the water and had no way to get unstuck and when I try to reload it I get a 522 Connection timed out :( Anyway, that won't affect the ratings, but I would have liked to play a bit more :)
edit: omg there is even a gif with the solution to the steep hill :D
Feels very cozy! The sound-design brings a lot to the vibe! I really love the implementation and concept! Unfortunately (as it often happens with great and creative ideas, *haha*) it's not quite comfortable to play :< Decent entry! !> Sooooo, where can I find that one indie game? *hehe :>*
This is very funny, I've never seen a game like this. The theme of the signal is really well done. I just didn't understand the slightly strange backgrounds. Otherwise, it's fantastic!
@jonasolsson No, buddy, you’re not stupid. I’m the dumb one: my friend and I couldn’t get the physics right in Unity. Sometimes it behaves in a way that makes climbing the hill easy. But other times it’s really hard. I don’t understand how to fix it.
The idea was that you either build up speed on the front wheel from far away, or, if you didn’t get any momentum, you could use the lightning rod in the clouds and a lightning strike would push you up in 3–4 hits. But unfortunately, it turned out to be too difficult to pull off. The game was meant to be chill, but it ended up being hard 🙂
This is FANTASTIC. At first, the unusual cover caught my attention. Then I read the description and decided to give it a try. And as soon as I launched the game and pressed “jump,” I immediately realized this game is on another level. This is pure gold. Very funny, original, clear, and perfectly fits the theme. Wonderful work — congratulations! P.S.- My car broke a bit, but it didn’t ruin the experience chrome_b6AVUOCHEl.jpg
A very fun game! I finished it quickly, and the obstacles are thoughtfully designed. The hill section reminded me of Gravity Defied—brought back some school-time nostalgia. Minor physics quirks don’t feel like a downside here; they actually fit the experience. Wishing you all the best, guys!
I'm a fan of the odd art direction! Gameplay was interesting, felt a bit like if Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime and QWOP had a baby, haha! Super soothing music!
This is great! Reminds me of the inventive things people used to do with Flash back in the day. The art style fits really well, too. I was enjoying it but I couldn't get past the hill. I could get most of the way up by repeatedly jumping on the button for the big wheel, but that doesn't get me over the steepest part, and I don't have time to switch to the propeller before I'm rolling back down again. I'll probably give it another go later because I want to see the rest!
Lol, this was so much fun. I love the voice-acting actions. I love all the mechanics of the vehicle. It's so unwieldy, but it works! I bet this would be a lot of fun with couch co-op. Nice level design too! And great art.
This is such an extremely cool game with quirky and nostalgic graphics and audio reminiscent of good old Flash games of the 2000s. The gameplay is fun and difficult at the same time in a good way - controlling this complex vehicle and going through all that terrain is such a fun challenge!
The doohickey corp appears to be doing well with their latest invention. Had some weird physics interactions as the character seemed to warp around, the buttons sometimes didn't trigger and the entire craft felt like it wanted to not exist and just explode. Very unique, without a doubt, and all of the issues just felt like they belonged to the game. Job well done.
A really fun game where the controls and what you need to do are pretty obvious, but it's challenging to drive the car without getting stuck. I got stuck in textures 5 times, but I got through the next one :)
P.S. I guess @skeyven might like our game because it has something to do with chairs :)
@stepan-rogozin yep!) Chairs are my passion ^^
Hey this is FAR :smile:. Very cool. Besides the fact that it was intentionally made in a very stylish way, some of the physics glitches even add charm to the game. Thank you.
