Controls are pretty touchy and the death plane doesn't seem to register half of the time. The game would benefit from a restart button. But it would definitely make a great simulator given a little more polish.
It seems it takes a little more time than average to become the master of fart control, which isn't bad, especially when you have the time to do so. This game is about taking your time.
This is probably the best bootleg I've played in a while. The midis sell it so well, it's the perfect kind of shitty knockoff!
And running out of power. Well played.
Wow! This feels like a console-ready demo for an indie game. I would've taken some atmospheric ambience sounds or a very chill soundtrack to pad the silence, but aside from that, it's honestly perfect! Charming, simple and the text is clever and deep. Awesome job!
Felt like an old DOS game, which is great! I'm not a fan of tank controls, but it does help that retro DOS feel. Shooting felt a little unresponsive at times too, but other than that, it's pretty fun!
Good job!
The gameplay is simple and funny. The overall concept was interesting (first time i could say i crancked and old 1911 car in a video game)
Never thought I'd go around beating up barrels with a baguette. Controls well, though the responsiveness on hitting and getting hit feels a little rough and I found myself wondering which bar dictated my health. Other than that, full marks!
You get a hon hon from me, for meme's sake.
Good fun and the first few minutes had me rolling lol. And then the minutes after.
On an unrelated note anyone knows a good remedy for mysterious finger pains?
Great piece of work! I love the atmosphere you guys crafted. I'm also a bit envious of the way you managed to make a functioning flashlight, haha!
Same thing here. I'm on win10 and I can't seem to run this game.
Definitely looks good! It's a shame the ship seems to have that alligator jigglin' fever. And the laser sounds are a little rough on the ears. But on the bright side, the ship controls pretty smooth!
Good job!
Nice refreshing little blast from the past right there. The graphics are spot-on. Gameplay is good and complemented by just the right amount of wit from the player character. I also wildly underestimated how tough the game starts to get as the lights go out. Pitfalls OP.
Running out of Power... Haha I get it
Thank you for the feedback!
It currently seems like the charging pads sometimes fail to trigger a battery recharge. You can blame last minute hackjob rushed coding for that one (my bad).
We'll try to figure out what's up with that. I don't think we're allowed to update as of yet, but we'd love to add fixes and content in an eventual post-LD version.
Thanks again for your reviews and feedback.
I wasn't exactly sure when I started the first segment, but I definitely don't regret sticking until the end. The humor is on point (The falling animation and sound are perfect) and the gameplay definitely is its own thing: it has weird controls, but it fits perfectly! It helps the tone so much and give it a unique and quirky feeling. Amazing job!
Very graphically pleasing shmup! A bit on the easy side especially considering how terrible I was with the tank controls. Only needs a good soundtrack to accompany the explosions and this is a gem.
You can never go wrong with musclecars, neon and synthwave.
Massive props on the soundtrack and on the visuals.
I also noticed you have something in place to automatically flip cars that get stuck. That feature is much appreciated and makes tail ending fools at 150mph much less frustrating.
