The game looks and sound amazing. The gameplay is okay, but I don't find it super exciting.

Really cool theme, It gives some Death Stranding kind of vibes to the atmosphere! Had fun playing it!

Great atmosphere and solid gameplay. This game feels challenging without being overly difficult or punishing. It also does a great job communicating what to do throughout. Well done, thanks for the game!

I really liked this one!
Proper Stålhaagen-wibe on the art direction:) 

Accidentally got stuck under a bridge(?) and glitched out until the game had a fatal crash:D - but overall excellent Jam!

Oh no sorry to hear you encountered a bug :( Thanks a lot for playing !

One of the few jam games I really wanted to play myself after watching the footage.
The car controls are very fun. The robots get really smart at some point and shoot where you'll be in a second, so I often got shot off right in the air when I had no way to dodge :D
Very cool and atmospheric! I'm sure if you mention Simon Stalenhag on Twitter, he will definitely repost your game :)

"So I often got shot off right in the air when I had no way to dodge :D" Oh no :( Yeah that's something I tried to fix for a long time during the jam. I reduce their accuracy a lot when the player is in the air, but it seems it was not enough to solve the issue.

We've been thinking about reaching out to Simon Stalenhag for a while, but I'm a bit intimidated by him xD

Your game is amazing btw.

I really like the atmosphere of the game congratz on making a cool game ! keep it up team!

There's absolutely no way, you modelled all the 3d Assets and Textured them in a week, including grass and a fully modelled turbosquid level car, it even has the interior. I hope the staff realizes this!

I understand that you can feel frustrated by the level of polish of some jam entries.

In my experience online contests are not a level playing field, as participants often come from very different backgrounds.

When hobbyists or students are competing against people who are doing this for a living, it can feel unfair to have them be judged on the same scale.

Art assets are not only thing that make a game good though, in jams we constantly lose to games that have less impressive graphics but better gameplay.

Anyway thanks for playing our game, I hope you'll be able to relax this weekend as I'm sure you had an exhausting week working on your game as well.

I would say that is not that hard to do it, if he is an advanced 3d artist he might done it in 2 days even less
I m a 3d artist more as an environment artist so i would do it in max 2 days, about the grass you can make it in 30 min max, for example for our game i didnt slept for 36+ hours when we started the jam lol. You better check your story before say stuff like that dude :)
