Clever idea! I like the police attacking from the sides and, at first, I thought not being able to backspace was a problem, but I was also going to argue that it's easy to just type in a command and wait for the barrier to arrive to press enter - when I played hard mode, I realized that not allowing backspace punishes players for trying to abuse this tactic, so I realized that that limitation was clever. This game certainly has potential. Good job!
Thanks, it wasn't necessarily intentional so I think it's funny that I accidentally balanced the issue of people pre-typing commands by omitting the ability to backspace.
That's a very nice game!
Nice simple game, I found that I had to wait the same amount of time every time I played, it should start after the last dialog box goes away instead of waiting. Also, a tiny thing, but I really liked how you animated the wheels of the cars.
By waiting do you mean the delay between the dialog box disappearing and the first barricade appearing?
Yes
Clever but unfortunately I don't think there was much reason to go up or down. Also I don't know if I'm just being an airhead but I couldn't find a way to backspace which meant that if I made a typo I couldn't save myself. Good work though!!
The reason to move up or back would be if you played hard mode, since in that mode cop cars would come at you from the sides, and unfortunately there is no backspace lol, although hitting enter would clear your text if you made a typo.
Clever concept. I think more thought should have been put into some of the design e.g. I didn't have much of a reason to move up or back. The art is cool, I especially love the tutorial guy.
The reason to move up or back would be if you were playing hard mode, because in hard mode cop cars would ram into you from the sides.
Oh I see, my bad.
Cool game and clever Idea to use typing as controls!
Like others stated, I instinctively wanted to backspace to fix typos. But after some time I got used to just spam or prebuffer the inputs so backspace isn't as important as I thought in the beginning.
Yeah I thought of adding a backspace but it completely slipped my mind after I switched from working on text input to the other things.
Disappointed in myself because just now I decided to add backspace and took me about 2 minutes to figure out and 5 lines of codes, could've fixed the biggest complaint for my game so easily
Oh yea, I know that feeling, incase you release an updated version after the jam I'd love to play it!
Really cool, I love the idea! The text input is super unique, I do wish I could use backspace though haha. Overall, awesome entry!
nice game the mechanics are good
This game is neat and a really cool idea. but I just wish you could use backspace though, it made me get a lot of unnecessary damage.
Was going to add backspace but in the name of efficiency and for the sake of time I focused on other stuff because hitting enter will delete your text if you made a typo. Not perfect but serviceable at least.
Best driving without steering game of the jam so far!
Thanks so much! I was trying to think of a good way to do that for hours, and I originally started with having to destroy obstacles but I came up with this idea and immediately started over lol.
