The idea is fun on paper, but the execution is a bit non-intuitivive. You need to take photos of different accidents and send it to the helicopter, being nearby. And you can only send it once, if the combined price for your photos is less than necessary - you lose. So if you somehow stumbled upon the helicopter by driving through the mission - it's better to avoid it. But if you really need to find it - the helicopter may fly over the buildings and it would be hard for you to set the stable connection.
The graphics is all right, but looks like just some asset store stuff. If not - it's rather an achievement on it's own.
love the OG GTA top down cam!

I didn't get the reason why you need to make picture. but besides that i like the art style. the driving steering could use some work.

Pretty fun game, the car control is really nice once you get the hang of it. Navigating the city feels cool & rewarding. Difficulty is a bit hard though, finding the Helicopter can be really tough if not lucky. Maybe knowing the distance of each event would be a nice touch to better take decisions too! Very cool project & visuals, good job team!

That's pretty cool! Definitely seeing the early GTA inspiration here

Catching up to the heli to upload can be quite tricky, but overall an interesting take on the theme :)
I didn't really understand what to do in the game. The car sometimes seems very heavy for such a city.

Fairly polished entry! The idea was well executed on and interesting. The controls were a bit difficult, especially on MnK. Vehicle could be a bit easier to control.
I'm not actually sure how I was supposed to get money, I took pictures of different things and then when I found the helicopter it said I got $0.
I didn’t quite understand what the main goal of the game is.

Thanks for everyone's reviews ! That's weird @braeden, you should be getting money once you upload the photos. Maybe it's a bug we haven't encountered yet. I'll be looking into that if I find the time to do so.
Yes! I love it. Polished and smooth. I love to use handbrake a lot, it is fun. Btw we did a game with car driving also, you can have a look!

The graphics are awesome and driving is a lot of fun especially when drifting using the handbreak. Unfortunately when you crash into something it feels like being glued with the object you collided with which takes away a lot of the momentum of the game.
The idea of taking pictures and sending them via the helicopter is great, but navigating through the city to find the next accident and afterwards finding the helicopter is quite hard.
Very polished though. Had fun playing it.

Cool gameplay loop and implementation! Controls and goals made sense to me, but I think a bit of tweaking to make the movement feel more arcade-y could work really well.
