I'm a little confused with this one - perhaps I missed something in the tutorial as it cut off the edge of the screen (my screen is 1200p so I think there is an aspect ratio issue).

The assets are really nicely implemented though, a very cool concept! A creative way to go about bomb defusal, however I can't figure out how to make turns without the car completely stalling and losing all speed. Also the Bomb interface is very tricky to navigate. I think if you placed the UI to the side, and used mouse input on it, one could multitask the driving and bomb defusal. It's currently very hard to see what UI elements are selected.

A really neat jam game though! Would love to play again if you decide to expand on the idea.

This was a pretty cool take on the bomb defusal game. That said, I had a few issues with how the game handled. The steering felt very strange and despite trying about a dozen times I couldn't manage to take even a single corner without slowing down to the point where I lost the game. There was also an issue where if I clicked on the game window while I didn't have the keypad up my cursor would just completely disappear and I couldn't do any of the tasks.

Really interesting concept! I like how you have to defuse the bomb as you drive. A fun little multitasking mechanic. One thing that I would like to see is improvement on the steering; it felt wilder than a drift, and more slippery than bald wheels on ice! Other than that, keep up the great work!

This game is pretty cool! My biggest piece of feedback would be that needing to defuse the bomb while still moving the car feels like a lot. Perhaps making the car pause while you have the bomb defuse menu open and adding a timer to the bomb defuse screen would be a good way around this? Would love to see this more fleshed out :)

Hey I really liked this game! I found that the steering wasn't quite responsive, and forced you to go under 30 km/h

Fixed the issue that others were reporting earlier. Enjoy!

Sorry about that everyone! I am reuploading the project right now with the prerequisite files so you can play.

Hey, just wanted to let you know the game doesn't run. I think there are other files that need to be uploaded with it :) Make sure all the files are zipped in a zip folder together and then upload that zip folder! Also if you get the chance to reupload it, I can play it on stream tomorrow, or in a future playtesting stream.

Developer(+1)

It should run now. Sorry for the inconvenience!

HostSubmitted

Don't worry about it! Thanks for the update! I'll be able to play it on stream tomorrow :D

Hey, I am unable to play the game with the download. I get an error when trying to run it "Failed to open descriptor file ... Wire.uproject"

Developer

We're sorry about that. I have reuploaded the project with the files that are required for the game to run. Please check it out!
