Loved the music and the story at the intro. The turning controls are very very sensitive though so it makes it pretty frustrating. If the controls were refined it would be super fun though.
Awesome map, had a blast with it. It seemed a bit bright. Would be cool to see at night too. Good job!
I like the graphics and the look of the town you are in.
The van would move and accelerate far too quickly, and so I could barely control it.
I wasn't able to collect all coins as I couldn't do it quick enough and would fall off the roads.
The music was quite nice but it could have done with more sound effects, especially for the van engine.
Did you have any ideas that didn't make it into the game? Were you going to do anything else with death as his van? Because at the moment the game doesn't benefit from the theme.
Overall good work on getting your game submitted. I hope you can expand upon it.
Thank you for the kind words and feedback. I had a lot of ideas that didn't make it into the game. It was supposed to start off in a hellish type level and slowly transition into a colorful, nice town. Obviously, it was way more than I was capable of. lol Hopefully I'll get a chance to work on it more in the future! Thanks again for taking the time to look at the game!
Nie work!
Honestly, the controls are kinda rough. It took me 3 or 4 tries to finally get a grip on the steering but it was fun doing jumps to get the mid-air coins.
Took a few goes to get used to the handling, but after that I really enjoyed it. Great job
Great job on the game. Once I got a little more accustomed to the steering, I was having a great time going off the ramps collecting coins.
I enjoyed the game overall but had issues with the controls. I think adjusting how quickly you speed up/slow down will correct alot of that. Starting up at nearly full speed and stopping almost as soon as I let go of the button made it very difficult for me to have any sense of control personally.
Outside of that, I think it was a pretty solid game.
Good work doing all of this by yourself. Only real complaint is the car handling and acceleration. It seems a bit glitchy.
Super cool game. :) I found a bug/glitch, where you can fall below the map from a big jump(around the ramp near the hidden time bonus corner, after missing the jump :D ). Turning can be very hard at low speeds, but the car control overall is good.
Its a fun game, just having some challenges in controlling the van when steering
Quite funny game!
Reminded me of the time when i was a small kid and was playing games on sites with Flash games with the cars, good times...
Concept is pretty good, you can improve it and make a lot more intriguing, but what really needs some tuning is car handling - it just doesn't comfortable enough. If you spend some time practicing, yea, you can go in turns smoothly, but for me, every time i tried to make it in turn - i went off road. You should tune it to work better and then, game will be very playable and fun!
But, good job, keep up!
Sounds good! I love the feedback, hopefully I can work on it more in the future. Thanks for playing the game!!
Pretty fun little game! Beat it on my second try once I found the time signs lol
My only gripe is that you have to be moving forward or back to turn, which makes it pretty difficult to drive the way I wanted. That being said, it did kind of give it somewhat of it's own charm. I really enjoyed it to be honest, great work! :D
Thank you so much for the feedback! I am so glad you enjoyed it!
Death works for the A-team? :) Cool
Lol! It was the first thing that came up when I googled van, so I thought why not.
Fun game but the van was too difficult to control on turns, maybe slow down the turn radius the faster you are? or have some barriers to prevent you from falling off the high roads, as that was where it was most frustrating!
Here is an example of what should be in your source: https://github.com/icepol/DeathIsOnlyTheBeginning
You have until day 3 of voting to update your source with the missing files, otherwise I will have to remove your submission from the jam.
Hello Yang Pulse, I tried to upload the source files but I'm having a little trouble with my computer. Hopefully, they are on there now, I'm not sure if they loaded correctly.
Yep, it looks good now :)
Thank you for your help!
Nice work! I feel like I could get the hang of it with enough practice, but the van felt a little hard to control for a new player. Maybe if the van could de-accelerate a little slower/smoother when you let up the gas? It feels like it has two speeds, full stop and top speed lol. Nailing some of the curves is kinda tough. Good entry, thanks for posting.
Thank You zanzindorf so much for playing ! I will definitely work on the acceleration more and hopefully it gets a better feel.
