I have grown to really appreciate the level that comes with 3D games and getting it to feel just right but with that also comes another challenge of optimisation. Im not going to lie, where the performance suffered the gameplay picked up in a few areas. I loved being able to speed by and smash into robots, that was crazy fun, I would of loved some explosions or sound effects too if there was time to fit it in. Loved the approach, just need some optimisation work :)

You drive around in floating vehicle and smash robots. It is quite lethal to them. All in simulation of course.

Cool game. I am always impressed when I see 3D games in Game Jams. You must have put a lot of work into the different kinds of robots.

Brittlo (Mini Jam #97)My computer can't handle smoothy with it, too much rigidbodies... Explosion force was really impressive/

Pretty Flying BulletThat was seriously fun! I didn't know how to kill the big robot though.

AssasinatorDefinitely could use some more polish, but I enjoyed running the robot dudes over. Being able to cross gaps at the cost of health is a cool idea!

VOID RUNNERMy only complaint is that the score is obstructing the view. Otherwise, pretty fun

Pub Simulatorgreat game, smashing doll robot is very well done. can you kill the big black robot ?

lethal board gameThe car controlled really smoothly and it was fun to drive. I would move the score part of the hud to the left because it can block the player view in the center. Good game!

Mystery StepsI like the idea, but it was hard for me to tell what was going on. It seems like you can float in the void, but burn? Also, never could tell what the repair icon in the bottom left was for. Ran into a big blue guy and he just sort of slapped me around until I died. Love the art though!

Laser Boids!Pretty satisfying to ride around and run into robots ! Maybe you could make them a little bigger (or your car) to make it easier to smash a whole row in a single go. Impressive to have a procedurally generated world in such a short time period ! (also it runs absolutely fine in browser)

Mutton Gear SolidYeah, I was afraid using so many skinned meshes with animations and ragdolls would be too much. Even tried to do simple optimization with fog, turning off distant objects, etc. In the end I haven't really time to do it properly, as build time and editor refresh time increased substentionally limiting number of creative decisions I could do in an hour. Had jet to test it on older computer today to realize how bad the performance actually is.
