How does the game fit the theme?
Our game fits the theme “Nothing can go wrong” because… well, everything definitely can. You’re a taxi driver with a trunk full of highly unstable dynamite, using controlled explosions to boost through (and above) traffic to get a higher score and perform cool tricks. Every boost brings you closer to chaos as the ever-present risk of explosion is fully displayed on-screen at all times.

I think you said the godot web export is a bit iffy, and you weren't kidding, this came out real clunky in my browser! It calmed down after a minute of play.

I love the ambition of doing a full 3D game for the jam. I'm impressed just by having all the physics and camera and controls working in such a short space of time. I wasn't quite sure how the theme entered into things, or what was different from crazy taxi. You've got the dynamite, but I wasn't sure how best to use it.  Really technically impressive!

Really cool game, i love the idea and i could keep flying around al day long, loved the tasks and npcs too really fun.
if you want to check another riding game you could try and rate mine!!

Someone should really start checking people's licenses because there's some crazy driver out there just chucking dynamite out the window like candy. Fun game! The little audio lines people said when getting picked up and dropped off were funny.

When in doubt, DYNAMITE! This game was funny and fun! Thank you guys.

Haha amazing, the voice acting is top notch! Taxi games are the new meta !

I am definitely making a Crazy Taxi-like game in the future, this was inspiring.  LOL at the restaurant where they eat the dog food!

Super nostalgic. The music really brought it to the next level, and I loved hearing the voice acting.  Found myself repeatedly using explosives to fly over buildings, it was awesome. It might benefit from having a button to quickly flip your car back over - not that I ever found myself in that position.... lol. Good job!

If you get a chance, I'd appreciate any feedback on my game as well. Thanks!

Really fun, crazy game! I used to love playing Crazy Taxi, and this game did a great job bringing back that nostalgia.

Awesome game! Heavy Crazy Taxi vibes. It took me a while to realise the explosives were boosts, I was ready to be chased and use them as a Mario Kart banana throw. Once I got it, I had a blast playing it.

A lot of fun, after playing the first time I started to just fly with the explosions. Great game.

Hey I Played Your Game, Its So Cool That You Can See Inside of The Box, Music Was Too Loud tho Lol, Overall The Concept of The Game Was Very Engaging And Fun

Submitted

Reminds me of my GTA taxi driving days. I blow myself up too high. The chaos is so much fun. 

Submitted

The physics are super fun! I'd love a win screen or a score when you lose. But outside of that the game was super fun to play.

Submitted

Very cool concept, reminds me of crazy taxi. I loved the voice acting as well spent a while just trying to find all the different voice lines. Overall really fun game.
