A really good idea and well implemented. I felt that it really could have used some sound and I also kept releasing it only for it to turn a little back again. Really cool though. Good going.

Really novel concept! Haven't seen something like this before :)
Finished all the levels, but I found it really hard to get in a flow where I would just do one harpoon after the other. It was hard to tell what would be the final direction after you released the harpoon.
But really well executed for a Game Jam :)

Thermal RunwayI didn't hear any sound in the web-build, which is a shame, cause there's some excellent potential for Really Juicy Sounds in this game.
I love the core mechanic, and the shooting and swinging both feel really good. I will say that there is a bit of a bug where shooting the harpoon into things automatically pushes your car to be perpendicular to the point of contact -- I used this to get out of a couple jams, but it may not be exactly the physics experience that you want.
But other than that, this was a really fun game! Keep up the great work!
I love the concept and I have fun finishing it. Sometimes controls are bit confusing, but huh, it's a game jam though! Neat game!

Birthday Party: Out of control!Loved it, my only real complaint is that the car's angle is a bit misleading while harpooned. I kept releasing the harpoon thinking I was angled the way I wanted to be only for the car to turn a little bit before going straight again.

Mower MayhemCrazy idea, but it works! It was harder than I thought it would be, but still very enjoyable. When I realized that it sometimes makes sense to drive in reverse, the game became easier and more fun. A small criticism would be that the flat shading and missing shadows makes it hard to hit the boxes sometimes, but else great game :)

Alien OutbreakRated! This game has such an interesting idea, and great excecution! I really liked the minimalist artstyle, and the fact that I could choose my own palette was a nice touch. The grappling can feel weird sometimes, but most of the time it works great. Super interesting twist on the jam's theme!
