A really cool looking scroller with simple mechanics that are a joy to play with! A little bit of variety in terms of "enemy" cars (some could be moving towards you, for example) would be nice, but for a little game jam prototype it's enough fun as it is.

How does your game fit the theme?
A towing truck is pretty "joined together" with the car it's towing
Did your team create the vast majority of the art during the 48 hours?
No
We used pre-existing art

Great game idea! The controls were very easy and I had much fun playing the game. Maybe make the movement of the green car a bit more noticeable. The art fitted the game perfectly.

Parallel SelfCool idea, diguifi ^^
I liked playing this, it used the theme very well, and you executed it with lovely art. Perhaps, if the towed car moved towards the truck faster when the truck accelerates, there would be more tactical possibilities, but overall I loved the art and the game was fun to play. Great work for 48 hours!

2 Atoms in a Molecule@diguifi nice game, could be more fun if you can add some sfxs and music, I also think adding some transition timing would be great, the game just instantly starts when our tow truck crashes, overall good job :)

Unlock WebThank you very much for the heads up! I agree 100%, SFX and music make a LOT of difference, even a boring game get's cooler with the right background tracks. I just didn't have the time to do it, that's all I could pull of for the Jam, but these comments help me a lot to think on what to do to make it a better game after the Jam is over! Thank you!
Nice little prototype ! It lacks some content and audio, but I enjoyed the couple of minutes I spend on it. Simple, but efficient =).

Must Dwarves TogetherVery simple and good game. Just need some music, sound effects, and more things to happen in the game.

Slime SplitterNice and challenging game! The art style was also awesome. The controls felt a bit slow tho

Heart BoundNice to see that someone had a similar idea to ours.
I always like endless, skill based games like this one. Good job :)

Intergalactic Towing ServiceI like the game! The graphics look great! It would have been nice to have some music, but it's still pretty enjoyable.

Ball and Chain ParkourHigh score of 56! I keep forgetting about the car I'm towing and just smack into things lol
But it's a fun time! A bit of swing action on the joined car in the back could make this wild, too!

Ray MazingMy high score is 40! would have been nice with music but it's still fun to play. Nice game

Quick Fix (GMTK 2021)Cool concept, I think the idea of towing a car can lead to some interesting gameplay if you decide to keep working on this.
