This game is so hard dude. You cannot protect from the enemies and they faster than you. They killed me 10 times lol. Anyway, music is really cool and stylish

I died a lot.

Using floppy disks because the internet is under surveillance is a neat reason to bring old tech into a future setting. The bike being useful outdoors but unable to collect disks gives the delivery route a bit of planning. An early escape hint might help with the difficulty people mentioned.

If you have a moment, I'd appreciate a rating on my latest game, [Robot Workshop](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/60/trashfight).

@maksim-terskov @isaac-hisey @youpz thanks for playing, I understand I tend to make the games very hard because of lack of testing, This sure needs more fine tuning through variables and a clearer presentation of the game (ie tutorial)

Also thanks a lot @youpz for the deeper insight, I will sure look into your game too :)

Love the driving - feels very smooth. The Police also feel very alive. I love a hard game so worked well for me but it might mess with other ppl idk

This was a great little game. I very much enjoyed the arrow directing you where to go otherwise I would have been lost. In fact i didn't really remember the instruction about the arrow and I wandered around a ton not finding anything untill i remembered the arrow.

I died and restarted a few times but I was never good enough to get all the disk back.

Overall the art was great and the music fit the mood. There was alot of pixel distoration though and moving around made it worse i'm not sure what caused that.

Took me 5 attempts or so to beat the game. It was a bit challenging but not too hard I think. Liked the game in general, how it's graphic and music sends you to some old games aesthetic :D

@rocktavious @garaptic thank you for playing and for the feedback! One of the main inspirations were the first 2 GTAs, with the top-down perspective and vehicle based movement. The arrow was a must-have feature because I was sure people would get lost in the larger game space.

Controls simple and intuitive, goals easy to follow and understand. Best I can do is 2 discs lol. Good music too. I liked the zooming in leaving the vehicle and zooming out when driving. I had 2 shields but I don't know if it always worked? I still lost health with 2 shields. Might have been just me tho.

The arrow never points to the third disk, it skips straight to the drop off location. I did find it eventually. Avoiding the cops was fun, it was nice they had line of sight checks so you can noisily sneak behind them. The speed felt inconsistent, sometimes I randomly move super fast? Apparently I managed to mow down some cops, though I couldn't do it again when I was actually trying to. I didn't realise the shields were a thing to pick up at first since you have to press E. There are loads of them.
