The controlls are really funny ive been laughing since i picked up the 1st trolley xDD and i know it's suppose to be difficult to manage the more trolleys you pick up but it turns so sooo slow it becomes a bit frustrating cause I cant get to the trolley's home xDDD
A bit more polishing and this would be a really fun game (and it would be awesome it this was multiplayer game)
Nice game! I like how chaotic it is to control the trolleys, just like in real life.
It's really tough to control, which I realize it's what you were going for but I think a bit more responsiveness would be great. Really creative take on the theme, fits perfectly, well done!
The controls are so wonderfully clunky here – having moved trolleys at work before, being so out of control while trying to steer a big line of trolleys is very accurately done! If the movement with 1 trolley was a little bit sharper I think this would hit the perfect natural difficulty curve, with it getting harder as you get greedier with the number of trolleys you pick up. Also loved that picking up trolleys was both the aim of the game, but also the obstacle – I was definitely avoiding trolleys when I was starting to get out of control. Really enjoyed this
The controls feel completely unresponsive, to the point I kinda found it unplayable.
Tricky controls, but good game. Even though music is premade, it sounds nice. Overall, amazing for a jam!
uuuugh this is so hard! The pay is fairer than life though.
That is a perfect name for this game. And seeing trolley chaos unfold in a parking lot is quite entertaining.
Nice Game but you could have to go backwards and it will be easy
Can you Play my Game!??
But if you could go backwards, the trollies wouldn't stay connected!
No I tried that part with also wasd and arrows keys but it didn't work for me
I didn't say it would work. I said that I think it shouldn't work.
My bad!!
It is chaotic (neutral) and refreshing at first but it gets wonky really fast. I see it as funny though. Love the general creative direction
I made a chain too long, clipped out of bounds, and spiraled into the ether forever. 10/10 you have SOLVED the Trolley Problem forever.
Really creative idea for a game, and good use of theme. The sound it makes when they join sounds like breaking vines in terraria, that was nostalgic.
I also really love the cover photo
Thanks!
The sound effects for collecting trolleys and coins were made using a really neat tool called sfxr. It randomly generates tiny noises and then lets you tweak them till they’re what you want. Ideal for creating sound effect assets during a jam!
Oh yeah I've heard of it! Nice
incredibly fun and well thought-out game, great work!
Pretty cool idea, I always thought about the feel of such a long trolley group! But the controls(turning, ...) are a bit too fast. And (if there is one) the limit of controlled trolleys could be reduced, so that it's not becoming this massive collider, which only causes problems.
Thanks for playing!
You make a good point, in hindsight I think we could have made the obstacle collision a little less bouncy, it does tend to get a bit out of hand eventually!
Had a lot of fun with this one! Cool idea :D
Controls are quite floaty and turning is a bit tricky. I do like the chaotic nature of it, which could absolutely be leaned into! It had interesting character! Nice job!
Cool Idea! Had a lot of fun spinning around in the driveway!
But i think the controls could be a little better. If it was meant to be a little hectic like this than ok.
