How does your game fit the theme?
Instead of driving on a road, you ARE the road and have cars driving on you. You need to carefully drive so the cars don't fall off or hit things while you help them get to their destinations.

Was pretty fun but got a little repetitive after a while. The music was perfect and definitely added to the goofy nature of steering a road. Overally prett good.

Wow! That was super fun! I love the music and the overall idea. The highway mode was a bit confusing at first (I was just clicking space and nothing was happening) but I figured that you need to hold the space bar. Overall awesome game!

i love this concept haha, the hilarious text makes it perfect. would love to see this polished up into a full game

Great idea, and well executed ! It's a bit too easy though, the challenge doesn't seem to increase, I killed everyone on purpose after three music loops because I couldn't see it ending anytime soon

Totally agree! The difficulty and the compass arrow are the 2 main things I wish I could have improved in time, unfortunately my focus was getting it playable and polished up. I'm definitely gonna revisit the main gameplay loop and get it to have an actual difficulty curve

I loved this game! It's crazier than crazy taxi! You should continue working on this and make it a full game. There could be more cool situations: a stage where you're  picking up more cars and suddenly become a wider road and have to deal with the challenges of that, or a situation where you have to duck into underground tunnels or a situation where there's a parade through town and you have to pass over it multiple times!

I love all those suggestions! I have some ideas for the main gameplay loop too - was thinking of changing it around so that there's an overall timer (or a fixed amount of pavement) and you have to go pick up the cars instead of starting with them. When you get a new car, it has a specific destination assigned and if you can deliver it you get rewarded with something (extra time, or maybe money you can spend on upgrades or more time/pavement).

Really loved it! definitely my favourite take on "you are the road" so far, would love to see this worked on and polished in future!

This is REALLY REALLY FUN!!!! I like how the cars act like an HP bar, and the mechanics could work in so many different ways. This is also the only game I've seen with a genuine tutorial. Great job!

HEY THIS IS A GREAT IDEA! First jam game I've played so far where I thought "huh, that's crazy clever." Lots you could do with this concept! Keep it up, partner!

I've never seen anything like this before and I have no idea how I would even start implementing it... so well done and so creative!

Very nice idea, but game lacks some difficulty raising with time :(

Developer(+1)

Totally agreed. That bugged me too as the deadline approached but time had to be spent on more important things unfortunately. If I keep going forward with this it's gonna see a significant revamp in how the difficulty works
