I really like that ps1 vibe :D

Content. Connor. This game is fun and fast-paced, though stretches a bit long due to the 14 day time-frame, (which I assume would've been broken up by other characters). I really enjoyed it and played the entire thing getting almost 2 million (I was so close). The art was nice and the gameplay was fun. Great Job!

Very fun! 14 levels feels like a lot, especially when it feels like you can reach the goal in about 1/3 of that time.  steering with a different hand than you mash with would be nice, but i think the combined control gives the game a nice sense of difficulty. Great job!

gonna go get treated for carpel tunnel now tho lol

A simple idea, that is honestly really fun to play! It was a smart idea to make you slow down when you hit a car rather than having a health bar, makes it a lot of fun!

That low poly 3D model is great! I think this is one of the more solid games in the jam, despite the fact that it is a serious wrist destroyer! Tapping a different button with the hand not handling the steering would be more comfortable, I think.

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks so much! I definitely gotten the feedback that its too tough to pedal haha. If we're allowed I might add an accessibility toggle to just tapping one button, keeping steering separate as you suggest. Cheers! 🐒

I liked the idea and I loved connor's face on the model, but my hand now hurts from playing. For some reason I felt more difficult to gain acceleration in the second level? IDK if my hands were failing or if it was actually harder to do.

Still, a very fun game!!

Im cramping so hard from that haha. Great game though!! Felt awesome to weave between cars

CONTENT! Man this was really REALLY fun. Raised well over 2mil by the end, didn't realise it was a Cylethon 4 simulator too. Wish I had noticed that you can stop pedaling at high speeds and just focus on dodging. Weaving between 2 cars felt awesome and the music was AMAZING. Especially on the giant hill climb and through to the ending.

Developer

I definitely didn't run out of time to properly balance the game because my files corrupted last minute... noooo... Thank you for the kind comments! I think adding an indicator when you NEED to pedal would be good to stop people pedalling all the time. My fault for how I wrote the how to play. Thanks! 🐒

My fingers are sore from meshing A and D and also I find the 'connor' and 'content' to be surprising charming.

Super fun game with a charming low poly artstyle!

Submitted(+1)

Such an amazing game! Love the PS1 style assets, love the music, the intro, but that gameplay DAMN! Super fun! Although couldn't complete it, at some point spamming A/D did nothing and the heel defeated me :C AWESOME GAME!!1! LOVE IT!

Submitted

it is not easy to shimmy between the cars XD, simple premise, nice execution, im not sure whats the challenge is or how you lose, but i did hit a ton of cars on my way here, nice game!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Theres no real way to lose, more about getting a high score. I ran out of time adding like a 3 hearts kinda thing. Maybe will update it later!

I adored the cutscene in the beginning. The low-poly art-style is great! The gameplay itself is very fun and addictive!

Some constructive comments: I think having the option to skip the cutscene would be good. If the player’s speed is negative, you could prompt them about the A/D acceleration (in my first play through, I didn’t know why I wasn’t moving). It looks like you can pass between two cars without losing speed, however, it does not seem to be possible. (Maybe I am just bad)

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much :D Yeah id love to add more options and help for players. Definitely if I had more time. And you can pass between two cars. It is very difficult if you don't use the lines in the road to align yourself. Maybe I should add something to the "how to play" and a bonus for going in-between!

Submitted(+1)

Everything a game should be. The A/D acceleration naturally creates the illusion of him peddling, threading the needle between cars makes you feel godly, and it's all neatly wrapped together in your choice of visuals and sounds. Even adding the uphill/downhill mechanic AND a cutscene at the start... i kneel...

Also my dumbass was avoiding the bananas thinking they were dangers. 

Developer(+1)

Omg thank you so much. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! The A/D thing was added pretty late when I realised I was trying to do it anyway haha

Banana good for monke! Oug oug oug ^⁠_⁠^

I love that if you are skilled enough you can get between the cars without slowing down. Nice game!

Developer

Thanks for playing! That feature is we call a 'happy little accident' but glad people enjoy it!

Really great idea, visuals and execution 😊Really impressive that you found the time to add the small visual novel section at the beginning

Developer

Thank you, you're too kind! I wanted to try using Dialogic for Godot and it seemed like a good time to learn it. 😊

This is brilliant, had a lot of fun chaining the speed boosts, feels fantastic to play!

Developer

Thanks! 😊 (Tho now I'm picturing Connor as a sonic character.🐵)
