How does your game fit the theme?

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
We did everything from scratch, from the sprites to the audio

Fun game. Just like crazy taxi. I found it hard to find customers, accidentally ran over way more than I collected so always ended up with negative money. Lots of fun.
Thanks for the feedback! We'll try making more forgiving mechanics in the future
Maybe it's just me, but I enjoy terrorizing the city so much more than actually transporting people in my taxi. I swear I'm not a psycho XD. More indicators which people want a ride, would be nice. Very funny game.
The game looks and feels very nice, great twist on a theme and lots of fun in general! It would be nice to have markers pointing to gas and repair stations, cus i lost several times just because i was out of gas and didn't know where to go. Great job nevertheless!

I am in debt and would be sued for massacre hahahah. This game is stress before the storm hahaha
The car was really hard to control and it was quite frustrating, I know you can upgrade it but wow the control is hard. I didn't figure how to refuel and the game always ended before the tornado because I ran out of fuel. I tried going to the mechanics to buy one of the gas but it just upgrade and didn't refuel. I also try staying in the gas station and sit in it but it seem like my gas isn't going up. Let me know how to refuel and I'll give it a try again.
I'm guessing you played the web version, when going in the gas station, a menu should have popped up asking you for money to refuel.
Try using the downloaded version if you wanted to try the bugless version
I used the downloaded version! TT
What version of windows are you on? Also did you do some specific action beforehand that you think may have caused the bug?
I didn't do anything, and there was nothing when I enter the gas station. I just downloaded the game again and retrying it again and there is now a gas station ui. I'll be trying the game again and give a feedback. After trying the game out second time I notice that the game is extremely hard, you needed to get 2 passenger to even have enough money to spend on full gases, the upgrade that you wanted is outed of my list. If it is true that you can't fill your gases during tornado then, I'm not sure how was I suppose to beaten the tornado to get to the end screen. (my guesses is I should afk?)
The objective is to go for an highscore, the game over screen appear when the car finishes the fuel or gets destroyed.
I understand now thanks to the various feedbacks we got that the game was really hard and very unforgiving towards the player, future games will be easier to understand and more forgiving.
Thanks for the feedback!
No problem! I thought the fuel just ranout and you lost. Great job on the game man, felt like gta6!
Every time I try to get gas the tornado comes :D
Gave me a lot of frustration and arthritis. Take my 5-star review and don't ever come near me again.
Understandable, have a nice day
The act of driving a taxi itself is fun!
I liked the idea of making money by giving rides to citizens
I hit and killed the citizens a few times, but it felt like gta2 and it was fun
I'm looking forward to the future
the camera doesnt move along with car but its a nice hit and run game
Thanks for the feedback, can you please expand what you mean with that?
Did you play the web version?
Did you do something particular before trying to move?
Does the camera move at all?
i played the web build but i kinda had a confusing time with wasd keys while the car was downside , i didnt do something particular , the camera moves but doesnt move alongside the player meaning if the player is going down the camera should 180 rotate to have the w button be up so it physically reflects in the frame that it is up button , you can understand that if you use google map to walk somewhere, now that i think about it you did some solid work on code to get this unique experimental mechanic ,thats what i could elaborate
That wasn't supposed to happen, the only explanation I can give you is that the web build got too silly with your browser and broke the camera for some reason.
I have no idea why the web version is different for everyone and gives a lot of bugs, but if you are still interested in trying the game out you could use the downloadable version, that one should be bug free and it only weights ~60mb.
Hopefully that bug on the web version doesn't ruin your vision of our game, thanks for the detailed description and your patience.
Totally just a hit-and-run sim. Love it!
I think the feel and look of the game is there but I had trouble finding the gas station the times I played. I think the game is solid, just minor tweaks!
Awesome game! Like others have said, really solid concept, great art, and really fun! I laughed out loud when I hit a pedestrian lol.
My notes:
Overall I really love it and would love to play more with a few balancing tweaks!
Thank you for the feedback. i'm Sorry you couldn't play the game at its fullest. Were you playing the web versione or the downloaded One?
I keep crashing into the people(Not intentionally I swear) before I even get a single customer. I might be the problem instead of the storm, lol.
I had fun running people over
Really cool game, the graphics and audio are very good
Very fun and beautifully designed. Two small suggestions though: increase how quikcly the car turns, and make more people passengers since sometimes i would drive for a minute without finding anyone
Thank you for your feedback. We thought of making the steering initialy a little bit harder for It to be then upgraded, we've seen the same problem with other people for thie game so we would have had to make a Better steering wt the start. For the passegger we picked a random number and didn't really have time to check It It was adeguate.
Very well put together, but a little hard to tell where to do everything.
Hard to make the turns without going on the sidewalk. But it's a great port of the genre to the theme. Really clever. Had fun!
You can upgrade the steering by going to the mechanic to turn faster
Ohh didn't know that gonna give it a try!
A little tricky to control the car, but spot on with the theme. Very creative game!
