YAY
Watching an NPC's car drive off the edge of the world into the abyss at the very start was all I needed to know I'd like this game. Love the incorporation of the penalty theme, love that I can carjack someone else to get to work. Super good!
🤣 Thanks!
Pretty cool but the camera is just a bit nausea inducing. Also you have to do it really fast or else it gets really chaotic. Otherwise it was really fun
Interesting thanks for that feedback, I was wondering about that playing another game. I don't get nauseous for mine for some reason. Thanks for playing!
Personally I was fine with the camera movement, my friend was watching me and she told me that it bothered her a bit. I don't think it's that big of a problem, it really depends on the person I think.
This game made me broke. :( Do you have room for one extra person in your house?
Jokes aside, fun factor is where this game shines the most imo. I went in blind to see how far I could get, and thought I was doing great as within a few minutes the city was full of crashed cars. :D
Then I actually read the game description and found out I was an hour late to work, lol.
The game is silly and chaotic in a good way, it reminds me of a really old game I used to play called Midtown Madness. These cars are really something special where they're able to drive on their side. :P
Some general tips for improvement:
Btw, being able to customize your car's color is a neat little feature!
🤣
Thanks for the in depth feedback!! I appreciate it. I'll have to make some of those things better.
The general idea was that it was easy to get all out of wack but you could get out and walk or find another car. I think I underestimated how getting all disoriented could be more annoying than fun but I'm glad you had fun with it!
I loved this! What a fun little "being late for work" sandbox! You nailed the theme, too. I like the gameplay loop of earning a set income, with penalties for poor performance.
I liked how car crashes could happen organically, whether or not I was involved. The over-exaggerated rotation while driving really adds to the chaos.
A full version of this could use some polish, but it's a blast to play as-is.
Glad you enjoyed it! Sounds like you got exactly what I was going for haha😀
Funny, chaotic little game! Had to turn mouse sensitivity way down but glad you had a slider there for it. Not sure if it was just on my end, but I wasn't getting any sounds even though there were sliders for that as well.
Hmmm 🤔 there should be Sound FX, like engine idling and crash noises. I did not add music though. Thanks for playing! Glad the mouse sensitivity came in handy.
Funny how chaotic everything is! I found the camera here a little too hard to control and ended up clipping through the ground a lot. I couldn't tell which parts of that were intentionally and which weren't - and sometimes I found that frustrating. That said, I did eventually get enough of a hang of the game to play through a few days so it got easier!
Nice! Glad you were able to stick with it. The chaos was intentional haha 😁
