Very well made game!
Pros
- Creative idea and gameplay for this game jam
- Upgrades
- Serious voice
- Radio of course
Cons
- Tornadoes throw truck too much. Sometimes when there are a lot of tornadoes you just get ricocheted from one to another.
- Backward drive or starting drive (when you start accelerating) is too slow. You need to fix one of them, because sometimes when tornado hits you and you finally get controls, another tornado is coming at you and you can't just drive away from it backwards.
- You can't know if this is enemy tornado or yours
- Some bugs: truck disappears; when you drift and get hit by tornado and if you don't release space you will be teleported to drift point; can't close upgrades menu; sometimes when closing upgrades window it makes background bright
My suggestions
- Add controls for arrows too
- You can make tornadoes with different hp. And make your tornado with different strength: longer drift = bigger tornado with more strength (it can destroy several small tornadoes). You can tweak with this mechanic in different ways, for example creating boss tornadoes with a lot of hp and other abilities (it will look similar to survivor.io type of games :)
- Add invulnerability for some time when you got hit by tornado and reduce throw away strength (you can make it dependent on tornado size. Bigger tornado = you get thrown away further)
In overall I really liked your game. I hope you will continue to manage it further and release a full game. If you didn't understand something from what I have said, feel free to ask me.
