We (a team of two) started making a Strategy/RPG game on another idea as the jam started. It was a cool idea based around hedgehogs and meditation, but five days into it, we realised that it wouldn't be ready in time. We might do that one later.. Anyway, I decided to make a quicker project by myself, featuring some Coder Art(TM). So this one took four days to make. It's *very* buggy as I kind of ran out of steam at the end.. But the "interesting" idea and the fun I had pixeling the graphics kept me going.

Thanks a lot for trying it out!

@Stuck East: No, there's no progression, but yeah, I did originally plan to get more in there - like the hobos would melt in your car and start talking, the car would freeze and would need some booze to get started or something.. Thanks!

Neat game, though I wasnt sure if I was doing it right. I included it in my Insanity Jam 4 compilation video, if you would like to have a look :) https://youtu.be/6fdBM8oj9vc

The art style is fantastic! I only played for a few minutes, so forgive me if this feature already exists, but I think a progression/upgrade mechanic would've been an awesome addition. Perhaps after reaching a certain score your car gets upgraded and you can carry more passengers.

Anyway, great work! I had a lot of fun with it and didn't find any bugs like the description implies.
