This was fun. Stressful in a good way! It would work really well as a phone game because the touch screen mechanics would fit!

Developer(+1)

Yeah. Thats actually planned as well :

we will make this game for mobile too

Cool idea. It remainds me on taking care of my child :D. 

Developer

Thx for the compliment :D

Cool idea and the game was fun to play. I did have a bug where the car got stuck in the second level so I couldn't play too much but I enjoyed what I did play. However, the art was really letting the game down. If you're using unity an issue might be that you have the point filter on the sprites, makes sure you set it to no filter, then the pixels will be nice and crisp. Also please have a transparent background on your sprites, especially the car since it is the centre part of the game. The black background on   the cones really ruined the feel of the game . This review may sound negative but the actual game was fun, the art is my only real issue. Great work and I hope you keep making more games :)

Thx for your review my good sir!

Well...the Backgrounds were all transparent and i also told the coders to change the sprites to point(no filter) but it didnt work.

Actually you can play further...if you look at the description, there is a foreshadow...

if you remove the second last rock, the car will stop...and then you can use the last cone to move the car out and break the game(the game goes "out of control")

ok sir

thank you for your feedback we will surely work on those problems

Submitted(+1)

This is a really nice idea. Rather fun concept. Maybe next time work a little more on the sprites and adjust the compression of each sprite. Still, this a rather nice game :)

Developer

Thx for the compliment man!

Actually the art was very thoroughly taken care of but it just broke for some reason due to unity being so buggy.

I asked my team to use a tileset but they said it was too taxing on unity collab...

will definately work on the bugs

A simple take on theme in that you control the obstacles instead of the car. I think it's a base concept that could be expanded upon to encompass alot more to become much more interesting!

Art, sound, and general presentation should definitely be aimed to be improved upon in the future since those can have quite an effect on the player. I can see from other comments that there were elements outside your control though, so I won't dwell on that too much!

Developer(+1)

Yeah...unity was being a nuisance during the development of this game!
Thx for your compliment and suggestion :D
The game actually had a theme song and a whole main menu art that i made but it just didnt work in the engine.

thanks for your reply and feddback

Although simple, your game can be very challenging, very cool!

"Runaway car" was one of the first things I thought of when I saw the jam theme, and was looking forward to playing games in that style. Yours was really cool, more fun than I thought!

Developer(+1)

Thx man! Appreciate the complement :)

I like the concept.  Cool game,  well done.

Developer(+1)

Thx for you comment :D

Submitted(+1)

Art is something to work on for next time  - you also wanta pay attention to your compression and scaling algos to avoid blurriness, overall a good game!

Developer

Actually the art was very thoroughly taken care of but it just broke for some reason...ya about the scaling thing...i told my team to use tilesets but they said it was too taxing on unity collab.

Submitted

Oh. thats unfortunate.

Developer (1 edit)

yeah

Submitted(+1)

I liked the concept, but the game is really hard on the ears and the eyes. Good job anyway !

Developer

Yeah...its a unity bug or something...i was the manager but since collab wasnt working i couldnt fix these last minute problems :|

Submitted(+1)

I adore fast paced games! The concept is neat and the core mechanics are great :)

Developer

Thx for your comment :D

Not the most beautiful, but the game play is unique and different. Not bad!

Thx for commenting :D

Unity made the process hectic but we got it working on the cost of art quality!

really cool game

Developer

thx

You cannot move the two last rocks at level 2 . Other than that, game concept is pretty good. Maybe to be even more out of control, the car could move by itself, as in not controlled by the player.

Developer (1 edit) (+2)

Firstly, thanks for commenting ☺️

Secondly, since our coders used unity...things went hectic since the project wasnt organized and due to problems with unity collab...i couldnt help in any other way than mangement. Thus, the last rock doesnt move cuz the coders might have forgotten to add a script to it... maybe u can consider this a part of the theme....all control is lost from that point on😉

And lastly, i appreciate your suggestion on the concept and if the game does good in the jam...then ill even discuss with my team to make this game way better than what it is rn 🙂
