Interesting game. I included it in my Love Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Interesting concept. One thing i would like to see is a way to teach the player the mechanics when each different thing happens for the first time.

Interesting concept. The music is really nice, but doesn't seem to loop properly. Instead there's some white noise sound. Tested on love 11.3

When the static starts playing, you need to retune the radio frequency. This is done with [UP] and [DOWN] arrow keys.

Thanks for giving the game a try.

The controls are explained here:

Oh, I didn't read the instructions, thanks for explanation.

Funny little game, very relatable setting :D

This was really great - programmer art aside, graphically this was great - I loved the mechanics, and it was fun! I wish that there were better visuals when I did something wrong, because I felt like I was doing it right, and "dad" got mad anyway.

It was a sweet road trip. Dad let me handle directions this time, and we only missed one turn! The radio was playing up a bit, which distracted me a little, but also gave me something to do on the long road. Mum says dad needs to lay off the snacks, we went through a whole packet in 10 minutes. No one else was eating the licorice either, I dunno how he goes through it so fast.
We're still on that road trip. Dad's almost called it off so many times, but he's always calmed down before he's gotten serious about it. Sometimes it seems like we're passing the same barns, windmills and gas stations over and over again, and the long hours have been spent driving in circles. I don't mind though, Mum's a good driver, and I'll never get sick of listening to this station.

I didn't quite get it. I adjusted the frequency to keep the music on, but then it just kinda stopped there? There was a tree on the road, and nothing was happening.

When it stops, you need to choose a direction by clicking one of the arrows. If you hold down SPACE you can view your route.

Haha! I got some good nostalgia outta this one. Reminded me of some of the roadtrips with my Dad where I'd be in charge of getting him snacks, making sure there was always a CD playing - so hilariously, this was very wholesome... right down to Dad being mad he didn't get his Licorice

I'll admit, I didn't read the itch page right off the bat, so I was rather confused why Dad got mad at me, but after reading the description, I was away laughing. If you had a little more time, maybe a couple indicators the first time around to show the player what Dad wanted at certain actions could have been a neat little addition

Great job :)

Nice to hear it evoked some nostalgia, and thanks a lot for your kind words :)

The controls not being explained in-game is definitely an issue. I'll fix it in some point in the future.
