- I had so much fun playing crazy taxi growing up. I really liked the concept of a reckless driving delivery game. Having a single opportunity to really set speed and direction is a fun way to blend the theme and the game style. The music and the characters in the dialogue were amusingly at odds with the environment and the vehicle. The dialogue was a nice touch to flesh out the game world and give it some character. My only issue with it was that the dialogue text was very small on screen. Mouse controls to aim and launch the vehicle worked well. The steering sorta worked. I definitely noticed that I could make small adjustments left or right, but it was such a small adjustment it wasn't really useful. The inclusion of a fast restart command makes the experience much faster and much more enjoyable. Fantastic starting point, there's a lot of room for expansion and further development.

Summarize your game!
ONE REV DELIVERY SERVICE is a manic delivery driving sim in a far-future hypercapitalist city where you’ve decided the best way to optimize your delivery schedule is to blow the whole gas tank of your rocket-truck at once, once per delivery. Use spacebar to advance through dialogue, LMB + mouse movement to aim your truck, hold RMB + release to choose how much power to use at once, and steer with A + D minimally while you've still got a bit of gas in your tank. You must hit the goal house in one rev, otherwise hit R to restart!
Please explain how your game fits the theme.
Only one rev to make each delivery! One overwhelming attempt to aim + calculate power correctly, and a bit of correction available to use up the remainder of your "only one" gas tank per run. The game ends up like mini-golf with one putt, but where your truck is the ball and can also be steered at the end. We also thought "only one rev" immediately shaped the worldbuilding and narrative-- what would push someone into such a ridiculous method of delivery? A world with great wealth inequality, where Only the top One percent control most of the wealth, and you must do everything you can no matter how wacky to speed up your deliveries.
Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
We think the little narrative bits of dialogue add a lot to the game, make sure to hit spacebar through them when you pick a new delivery and when you successfully deliver one!

Cool idea, pretty solid vission
The truck was difficult to steer, but maybe that was the point. This was pretty neat idea nonetheless. Nice!
Nice game! It is like mini golf/pool mixed with a vehicle delivery game. It is funny that you often need to bank the car off the buildings to reach your destination. One gripe is that it was a bit difficult to read the dialogue/narrative bits.
