I did not personally partake in the jam this time around but I still like seeing what people pump out.
This is Top 5, if not winner material, hands down.
The graphics are great, the jazz is amazing (and sufficiently smooth! Your audio person needs a raise). The game, though admittedly short, is still extremely engaging. Also props to whoever thought of and implemented the car sequence (they also deserve a raise)! Every game I've played where driving is not a focal point has the most agonizing controls for cars. Your game pulls them off so smoothly that it's actually fun to nyoom around the city.
The game isn't perfect, of course. There's some wonky animations in places, some lighting issues, a very poorly paced comic relief character, and that one supernatural event where driving makes the trashcans in the entire city fall over all at once. Mostly just minor issues, really. Except for that scene where the woman's face is an endless black void
That doesn't take away from how incredibly well this game was executed, especially in such a short amount of time.
I'm a very hard-to-please critic (as anyone who's known me for a while is probably aware of), but you guys have earned the Seal of Approval™. Bravo!

Wow, just wow! Thank you for that awesome review! I'm the car guy so I'll gladly send this piece of text to my boss :D
The feedback is great. We had problems baking lights, especially interior scenes, and the WebGL build seems to make everything worse. No excuses, there's tons of polish to be done all around.
As for the trash cans, can we just say it's really windy because the city is in the middle of nowhere? :D
Cheers mate!
