Make sure to disable Shadowplay. We have experienced glitching with the menus with it on. Also in case you don't have any audio for the game, fiddle with the master audio settings! For some reason some people's audio doesn't work immediately. Sorry about that!
Pretty amazing what a well coordinated team of talented people can achieve in less than 3 weeks. The love and care put into the small things like the insanely good ui or the collectables make this stand out from the rest. Nothing really to complain about here. Good job, guys!
Thanks! We straight up killed ourselves trying to get this done in time and we're super proud of what we were able to accomplish :D As the UI designer and programmer, I take pride in your compliment on the UI. Thanks for playing~
I really liked switching between modes while utilizing boost to get insane speeds, particularly with the glider. I feel bad leaving grandpa hanging but I wanted those secret tapes lol. Good job!
I hope you found all the tapes and found the good ending! Thanks for playing :)
Really fun! I genuinely wanted to get to the end even after dying quite a few times.
RIP grandpa
I'm glad you were compelled finish the game the whole time!
Grampa will live on in our hearts
Lots of fun! I really enjoyed drifting around. I had a bit of trouble with the cops in the beginning, but once I got to the mountain it was easy to lose them and they become a non-issue; I feel that they could use some tuning. The game feels really good to play. Great, consistent art! All you're missing now is a good soundtrack. Great work!
I'm happy to hear that you had fun drifting around! The cop AI is fairly simple so they definitely will need a redux one of these days and yeh, we hope we can get a solid soundtrack in there too :D
Haha well done! Really cute game and I was laughing out loud at some of the cop chase sequences. At one point I drove right in to the river while 3 cop cars followed me in to the abyss. We all exploded together. Also just really impressive that you guys were able to pull off gta-esque car AI in the scope of this game jam. Really great work.
I'm glad you had fun with the cops! They happened by accident and when we saw the way the cops were, they were sealed in lol It's beyond heartwarming hearing it compared to GTA, really appreciate it :D
Cool game! I had some trouble with controlling the car on the ground but flight mode was really fun. I definitely got lost a few times and was able to skip a lot of the map by flying, but overall great presentation and very original too. Great job!
I'm glad you enjoyed the game and thanks for playing! Could you elaborate on what was giving you issue when driving? It would be very helpful for future updates~
Yes definitely. The main thing was that while holding the R trigger to accelerate, the car would randomly swerve left or right sometimes. It felt like it mostly happened if I was boosting and held the left stick in the opposite direction for a second and then let the stick go back to neutral. I use this controller for everything and haven't had the same issue in other games, so I assumed it wasn't me. I replayed the game a couple times just to make sure I wasn't imagining it and while I did reproduce it a couple times, it wasn't consistent. Could absolutely be me misinterpreting something going on that I'm supposed to respond to. I had assumed it had something to do with the way the camera followed you or the terrain when it happened my first playthrough.
Interesting, with that in mind, I think I do notice a bit of tire lean. I don't think I noticed it before because I'm usually swerving all over the place and rarely just driving so this went under my radar. Thanks for your feedback!
Wow! Really beautiful game! Even when I fail and my car explodes, it's still really satisfying to watch. It has really great physics and I like watching all the cars fly around. Nice job!!
I appreciate that you like the little details we added into the game :) The physics was something we made sure to try and iron as soon as possible so I'm glad it was solid. Thanks for playing~
Awesome game! I kinda wish it had music, but the car is really satisfying to control. Being able to recover from collisions with the fly mode is really fun!
I'm glad you like it! We had music originally but sadly even though it was royalty free, Youtubes Content ID system flagged my trailer for the game so last minute we ditched the music so that we wouldn't be disqualified for accidently DMCA striking Dunkey. I'm glad you enjoyed the rest though!
glad you liked it! And yea we legit removed the music an hour before upload. As YouTube is a tad aggressive on any sound related content. I recently had a video copyrighted, even when I own the rights to use it. lol.
I love the level design and controls , the cops didnt give much a challenge and roads had some collision problems here and there but it was so fun to play , great job!
I'm glad you like the level design! It was the first time I ever worked with Unreal's landscape and level editing tools so it's nice to hear good feedback in that area~
Glad you liked it and I will investigate the road collisions :) thanks for playing
Quality of work : Done
Fun : Done
Art style : Done
Feedbacks : Done
You just made an amazing work with this game! First one I laughed this much while playing.
Good job!
I'm glad my story I wrote at 2 am made you laugh as much as my sleep deprived brain enjoyed making it XD Thanks for playing!
I loved this concept, the car and animations are suuuper cute! They have so much personality, I didn't see it just as a car but as a character with personality (like Cars). I would love to chill more; it would be the game I'd spend hours exploring. What I liked the least is the police and the performance.
The concept of the wings is awesome! At one point, with the sunset it felt like I was driving Ron's car in Harry Potter, haha.
The screenshot of the car flying with wings is sooo memorable and unique, love it!
Amazing job!
I'm glad you liked it! the first thing we did was try making the car as personable as possible so I'm glad it's not going unnoticed :)
Sorry about the performance! It's definitely a weak point of mine especially during jams so it's definitely a place to grow. We'll also try to figure out a good way to keep the cops while making it a lot more palatable :D Thanks for playing
Really good graphics here! games feels really polished. Darn those pesky cops, though!!! great job here! Two thumbs up
Appreciate the comments on the art, we wanted to make something everyone would enjoy both visually and gameplay wise, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks! We wanted to make sure that the game felt and looked good so we really appreciate it!
holy crap! the graphics are way too polished for a game jam game, amazing submission!
Thanks! We sort of got in our own heads on some art areas. Wish we had the time to add more. Maybe this little game turns into something bigger?
Thanks! One of the things we were super incredibly focused on was making sure we could nail the look and personality of game so I'm glad it paid off :D
Dude = Grandson of the year! 🥹 Amazing game, I loved just about everything about it! The presentation, the voice acting, the gameplay, all excellent! The police could be a bit chaotic, and at some points in the journey it might have been handy to turn the camera to see where I was going, but far from deal breakers, this absolutely a game I will keep at to get all the collectibles and endings! Great job!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was such a labor of love I'm glad you liked it. We've been getting a lot of comments about how intense the cops are XD We will keep your comment about the camera in mind if we decide to do more with the game later~
I hope you do find all the tapes and get the good ending my man :D
Nice game with some good moments of driving and flying around the terrain. I'll echo the frustration of the police mechanic. And I also had trouble when I needed to drive towards the camera or had trees blocking the camera. Still, these frustrations still led to some interesting situations since I was able to jump on top of a police car while driving and use it as a launching pad to start flying, which was pretty funny.
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed the game for the most part. After the jam I will definitely take a look at how to make the cops less aggressive and help with the visual side of things so the vision isn't so easily affected. I appreciate the feedback
Really fun game and very polished. The only issue I really had was the cops are brutal.
Thanks! Yeah the cops seem to be the biggest point of contention at the moment. I appreciate you playing the game!
This game is really fun! I love how flying works, you guys did an amazing job and I love it! The game has a great feel to it.
Thanks, we tried to focus on the feel of the game more than anything. As most games tend to add tons of extra stuff and the main game play isn't tuned.
Thanks! I really appreciate the kind words. It was really important to us to focus on making sure the game felt fun first and foremost
I love cars, and I love flying—I'm the avatar of your game, haha! I had a fun time playing it, and it was exciting to experience a game with such authentic and beautiful visuals. I was pleasantly surprised by the car's boat, turbo, jump, and flight modes, especially how well the visuals were integrated with each mode.
I've only seen the normal ending, and I didn't want to see the others for two reasons: First, the police— I tried several times to avoid them, but there was no way. It would have been great to be able to evade them by flying. Second, the performance—even with lowered graphics, the game runs quite slowly when it becomes night.
Anyway great game!
Good job, guys!
Yeah, I also had some moments where the cops put you in a bad spot. Thanks for the graphics feedback, we want to make sure more people can play.
I'm sorry you had issues with the performance! That was a worry I was having with the project, I'm terrible at optimizing on the fly. I will keep that in consideration in the future. Thanks for playing :)
Pizza Possum with cars! The gameplay is fun and the goal is clear. The graphics are awesome, but the game needs some optimization. The sound effects could be more plentiful and some music would make the game feel much better. The collectables and different endings were a nice addition. Also I don't think that is how arresting works :D
Great job everybody!
Thanks! I 100% agree on all your points. We had music in there at first, but my gameplay video got copyright ID’ed immediately even though the music was all content ID free through Pixabays public license. We didn’t want to risk it and took all the music out sadly. Hopefully later we can get some in there :) I appreciate your feedback.
Thanks! Yeah we actually had more sound/music ideas to add, but we decided to polish other game play areas first. Thanks again for the feedback.
