Loved the game. Looks great! I like that you had a destructible environment of sorts and could run over cows and even people! Similar to the first 2 GTA games.

As someone mentioned the driving it self felt a bit slugish. Found that the handbrake was almost needed to make tight turns but even then it would sometimes result only in a 90 degree turn.

The weapons did feel a bit week but I think that was because I just couldn't make out how much health the enemies had left.

Nice visuals. The menu felt very polished including customizable controls!

Driving felt sluggish though. Never could quite get a good flow. The e-brake certainly helped.

Combat was pretty much, sit in place while I blast enemies. The machine guns felt like pea shooters but the rockets were fun.

Overall I had fun. Reminded me how much I love playing car combat games.

Ah man I loved this, if there was ever a game designed specifically for me this is it ha! There's a HANDBRAKE, there are different driving surfaces, the radio is great, the slight bowing effect on the screen is really great, the dialogue is fun, and you get to blow up white supremacists, what's not to like? Nothin' really. I feel the car controls could be a little better, I'd prefer accelerate on the triggers for example, and I found the steering a little too swingy to be precise with; but that's nitpicking, and it doesn't matter at all. Great game! Only thing that would make this better is if Duke Nukem read you a poem. Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go out & buy some vitamin tablets for some reason.

Hey! glad you liked it and good to see a fellow I '76 fan.  We planned to add the Press 'e' to have other person read you a poem the whole time but never did get around to it.  Thanks for playing.  Will give your game a go later this evening.

If I could revive ONE old game franchise it'd be I76! Open world? Petrol stations? Elite Dangerous style deliveries and stuff? It'd be amaaaazing. :D #nevergetoutofthecar

Excellent game! The E-brake mechanic makes driving around super fun! The sprites are especially detailed and very aesthetically pleasing, and fit the theme of the game well. I also really enjoyed the dialogue and witty humor being given to you by your guide in the bottom corner.

I love car games. Definitely, I loved this one. Great job.

I like this. It's very cheeky, and it has Duke Nukem in it or something.

The vehicle also controls very nicely. I like the E-break.

The AI could be improved, but that's a minor thing here, I think.
