Very good game! The graphics look really good for something made in 3 days and the humor is also well appreciated. Sadly, my PC is potato slow and the game ran in like 5 frames a second so there's my chance of experiencing a demon lady whipping random people she found on the street to drive the cart she uses to transport people to hell faster.

Overall, an amazing game :D

Now anyways, I'll be watching "Shrek the Third" now.

WOW! One of my favorites in the game jam by far. Im honestly shocked it only took 72 hours, the amazing quality of everything from music and the art to the funny snippets when you pick someone up, absolutely superb job.

The graphics are way beyond expectations for the time we had, easily one of the better looking ones I've played here. I feel like it  could have been tuned to be a little more difficult, I never went below half health on the first run so I didn't need any of the replacement carts that were lying around the map

Wow, that's a fun game! Quite a bit of depth for such a short jam. The music is great!

"Crazy taxi but in hell" is not something I realised I needed, but I absolutely did!

Careening at incredible speed through the streets of hell, mowing down pedestrians and dragging unwilling passengers kicking and screaming to their designated place of torture proves to be a deeply enjoyable gameplay loop. Managed to get my date with the devil in the end!

I love the tiny 3d models! The town design in general is wonderful too, in particular the big neon "Blood!" sign

The audio design fills me with joy - the music is fantastic, and contrasts so perfectly with the screams of agony.

Also, those street signs. Piss :)

Submitted

I really liked this game :))
The concept was very fun, it was easy to understand, and I loved how calmed the music is while you can hear people screaming lol
It´s incredible that you could make a game like this for a game jam just three days long.
So good job to all of you! :D

Developer(+1)

Yeah! The irony between chill bossanova & screaming/torture was exactly what we were going for :D

Submitted

Lovely music, and this game is absolutely filled with personality. It was incredibly fun to take people from place to place, and in this particular case the super high speed was actually a great thing, I had a blast crashing around. The characters are charming, the humor is good, and the overall gameplay is crazy in a good way. Great job, I really like this one.

Short, but incredibly polished. Right away, the intro cutscene gives the game a lot of character. The amount of detail in the actual game is very impressive, and everything fits together very well atmospherically. The gameplay is fun too, I enjoyed going incredibly fast while trying to keep the cart under control. It doesn't have a lot of variety though, but it's fine for the game length. I imagine the scope was intentionally limited to be able to polish the game to such a high standard. The game doesn't seem to have an ending, so I was looking around for a while to see if I was missing someone. Eventually, I was left with nothing else to do than speed off to infinity (literally, that's what the error message said lol). But that's all the criticism I have, I genuinely can't think of anything else to improve. Fantastic work.

Hi! Nice game, the art is really well done and your take on the theme was really creative! Overall great submission!

Developer

Thanks man, means a lot coming from you, I loved your game a lot!

Submitted

Absolutely fantastic game!!! I love the humor, the art & effects are great, the gameplay is fun... great job to all of you!!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot! I loved the art & effects in your game so much, it means a lot coming from you :)

The controls didn't work for me. It's been happening with a few games so maybe an issue on my end. It looks great and I'm clearly missing out.

Developer

Shoot, were you using WASD or arrows? or was it another button that wasn't working? I just playtested again with a few computers to see if there's a regression, but they were all working for me. Lmk if you have any other hypotheses for what was going on on your end, I'd love to fix if possible. 

Submitted

Cool game. Even though Im not really in this demonic theme. I must say it really feels complete and is an interesting way of use of the limitation. Your pixel art skills are real high. Allover a great game.

Great coding, Jacob.

Developer

Thank you so much for your kind words! And I really appreciate you looking past your aversion to the theme in your assessment, I know it's definitely not for everyone and hope it wasn't too offensive.

Submitted

No worries, not offensed at all. Theme is fine, just something Im not really looking for. Though good luck with the project and all the others.

Submitted

I love all the visuals. It's so hellovely! The controls are as smooth as the whipping touch and fun to ride. The soft music background with all the deadly screaming ambient keeps me hooked like eternal stay in hell. A diadorabolic game xD

>The soft music background with all the deadly screaming ambient keeps me hooked

That's the nicest thing you could possibly say, it's the exact aesthetic irony we were going for. Thanks for your kind words :D

This felt like a demonic GTA! Maybe you aim for too much for a weekend jam? But anyway is a great entry.

Developer

>demonic GTA

That's exactly what we were going for! 

>Maybe you aim for too much for a weekend jam

Probably! We originally had a big team, so we picked something ambitious (had a few people drop out though). 

I'm very interested in what felt incomplete/bugged to you as I'd like to fix it up if I can :)

Submitted

An amazing visual work! The graphics are impressive and the city is very well done. The concept is incredible and the use of limitation is very creative. Some problems due to lack of time and large scope, like the small number of passengers, but nothing that interfered too much with the game experience.

An incredible job! And with a little more time it can become even better, bravo!

I'm interested in what felt missing/broken/incomplete to you! I'm trying to fix all the bugs I can find (at least the ones that impact enjoyment)

It was definitely ambitious for a game jam, but I felt like we were able to finish ~55/65 of the features we originally listed through sheer grind.

Submitted(+1)

The only things I missed were more passengers, but I played it again and you already fixed it!
I had a lot of fun and enjoyed the game a lot, I also did a re-evaluation after your fixes :D

Nice job, keep up the good work!

Submitted

Really fun and good graphics but seems unfinished and has way too many bugs

one being getting into and moving a broken down cart

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Due to the limited development time within the jam and complexity of our game we were not able to fix every bug as much as I woudl'v.  If you let me know which of them affected your enjoyment of the game, I’ll be happy to prioritize them :)

Developer(+1)

I uploaded a fix for the bug that lets you get in empty carts. Thanks for pointing it out. Re-evaluation appreciated if that was affecting your enjoyment! 

Submitted (1 edit)

bugs usually don't affect my rating unless it makes the game unplayable, which the bugs didn't really impact, but would appreciate more customers since I ran out of them and started exploring the map.

Where I realized some stuff like one shop and sign not fitting the other buildings art style, the previously mentioned cart, only 2 available carts and being able to leave the map and go into the void.

Again this didn't impact my rating and I liked the game but it's just a few things that I found while exploring.

And it is a shame that more people aren't seeing your submission since it is one of the better ones i've played so far

Submitted(+1)

Welp, I liked the concept of the game a Sucubus using humans to make a taxi service, too bad but also good that there are only a few transportation jobs, bad because the game feels like it ended but good because i guess i found a little bit more fun crashing into people and/or torture untill death my boys or just walk around 

Developer(+2)

I'll add some more!
