This is a very creative and well done concept! The controls are so responsive and I had a lot of fun playing!

Great Job! :)

Idea is insane, some obstacles have too small gaps to jump, so this annoyed me, but still was a lot of fun playing

I really had fun playing this game 

Good Job Bro!

I thought this game was really cool, the sprites and enemies and the idea are all great. The movement was really snappy and felt good to control and I liked how you don't really die you just keep going, definitely makes it more of a relaxing game. Really, the only thing I have to say is that the music starts kind of late. Other than that, this is a really nice game.

Really funny idea! 

I had a couple problems though: One of them is that its a little long without any checkpoints. Its also pretty hard. Another thing is that the car window background might work better if it was held steadier or the car was not as fast because it was kind of jarring and gave me a headache. Last things I prefer games that use the theme mechanically not thematically but that's just personal preference. I also found one area to the far right of the play space where the monsters cant hit you at all.

Other than those few minor problems its great! I can totally see as a real game, if you kept it how it is I could be a cool mobile endless runner or if you added some more bosses and stuff like that it could be like Cuphead!

Totally funny idea! Generally this is well implemented. But if you want to use a car window video as a background, you need to find one where the camera is held steadier so your characters don't look like they're suddenly flying up into the sky.

How do I open a .rar file?

This is insanely cute and inventive, and it really deserves more attention. You did such a great job transforming such an odd but relatable concept into a well-polished, fun game. You should be proud of that.

My only complaint is that some parts are drawn out a bit too much. For example, the long pauses between sections into getting immediately bombarded with fast obstacles and enemies is a little jarring, and the final boss took too many hits. He could have used a more challenging attack pattern, I think. 

Minor complaints aside, this was a really fun game. Great job!

21/9+10 I use to think about things kind of like this when I was younger really great game

This is really well thought out! I had a blast playing it, good job!

I really liked playing the game. The controls felt really smooth. I think the difficulty was a bit too easy for me.  For me, the sound effects of the final boss were a bit too loud.

It is a very original game in comparison to all the others!

Really fun! Great concept and really like the art style and the way the car window background and the the outlines are incorporated. I found it a bit difficult to see some of the small obstacles though.

I really liked the real life footage and how it contrasts the sprites! This game interprets the theme in a very interesting way, I remember doing stuff like that as a kid on long car rides lol.

I thought the game was impossible before realising I could simply deflect projectile and kick ennemies in the face.

Nifty idea and very nice visual, the final boss felt a little easy before its second phase but it was alright

Glas you liked it. I was wondering if it was better to explain or not the deflecting mechanic. 

What do you think, wouldn't it have been better to explain it right away?

Submitted

It's fine as it is, discovering it by accident feels pretty nice. It's rewarding for the player

Had a brilliant time playing this. Loved the how the game approached the theme, I swear I played games like this when I was a kid on long car journeys so it was very relatable. I thought it was great how you could deflect projectiles. I would have liked to have seen more variety in enemies and obstacles and maybe a score counter. Great job!
