Game's Take on the Theme
You're driving a `Monowheel` that's the definition of spinning! Now drive!

Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
Music yes. Sound FX, 3D Assets & Textures no, as our Artist hadn't had much time in the end to do it by himself unfortunately... thus we had to fall back to pre-created Assets.

If not, please link to any asset packs or resources used here.

Wow, it's so cool! The movement of the monowheel is really well implemented, the graphics and lighting are great too. And I think the boss has some bugs which cause him stop acting sometimes. Overall a really polished and stylish game. Nice works!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much Yword for you kind words and giving Mr. NutZ a well deserved spanking ;)

He sometimes goes into hibernation mode while one is driving on top of the containers. His “AI” has troubles compensating for it and brain-farts out :p

Sick game! I really like the visuals, the gameplay is nice and fast paced - I had some issues with the browser version, but it seems more like a Godot thing than anything else. Nice job!

Submitted(+1)

Very cool game, first game with a vehicle that I've tried too! Hearing the nutcracker chasing you in that environment def gave a creepy/spooky feel!

Submitted(+1)

The Nutcracker kicked my butt))) This is an incredibly interesting and cool game, I'm impressed that you managed to pull it off in such a tight deadline!! It's really awesome, great job!

Developer

Thank you so much P.5. for your kind words and trying to give Mr. NutZ a nice spank even tho he seemed to spanked you :P

Yeah I wasn’t sure if we would managed to pull it of as the time went by and stuff kept bugging out or and the todo list grew instead of getting emptier :P but in the end we managed to get a somewhat stable and playable version out we were fine with releasing ;)

Submitted(+1)

Nice nutcracker boss! really cool visuals and sound! I had to spin to health a lot and it took a long time to kill him haha! Congrats on submission. Feel free to try ours if you like!

Developer(+1)

I guess Mr. NutZ has too much health then, I’ve to tune him down a bit. Thank you Bryan for giving it a try and your kind words! :)

I’ll give your game also a try!

Submitted(+1)

It was a bit creepy and fun at the same time :D You nailed it with visuals. I love the idea of putting ramps to get some pickups.

Submitted(+1)

It's well made like the visuals and sounds however it would be better to optimize the game a little in order to be able to run it in browser.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thank’s DadMakesGames for giving it a try and your kind words! And yes, you’re absolutely right the webbuild could use some serious optimization 😉

Submitted(+1)

I dont have a powerful machine to run the game properly but I saw in a friends nd its really well made, I like a lot the visual effects and the continuos thrill in it. I rate fun and graphics on top but all is great, also if you have time, please rate my game too, thanks!!

Developer

Hey asdronin thank you for your kind words! It sounds like that you enjoyed it, that’s great to hear!

And ofc. I’ll will play your game! 🎮

Submitted(+1)

Very cool game. Cool atmosphere, cool boss (great choice making him a huge nutcracker), cool mechanic, etc. Camera felt shaky which made precision pretty hard and I didn't realize I could do cool stuff like you did in that last gif there. Overall, great job on this!

Developer(+1)

Thank you ThomasMarascia for trying it and your kind words! Glad you liked it!

Yeah my team colleague came up with the idea of bringing in the nutcracker and I think it’s quite fitting and was a blast developing his behavior.. though we had not enough time in the end to give him a much broader skillset, but I will expand on that after the Jam is over..also fixing these pesti webbuild lags 😉

Submitted

Superfun game. the shooting and the movement feels good. The camera is a bit finicky tho.

Developer

Thank you so much BaldyCoder for the kind words!

Did you play the webbuild? Maybe it was the sensitivity, which is to damn high in it 😔 or maybe it was my camera avoidance so it does not clip through walls that that caused your camera problems 🤔

Submitted(+1)

Amazing idea and gameplay! My dumb ass didnt realise I could aim at first, but then the game became 30min of enjoyment! Super cool how the "wheel" uses both guns, but if u aim to one side he only fires one of them. Felt like doing drivebys hahahaa Super awesome game! cant wait to see it improved! 

Developer (1 edit)

Wow, thank you so much Tiago for your kind words and playing it that long! I didn’t expected such a long playtime. Very glad to hear that you enjoyed it!

Ye I guess I should have explained the free-aiming a little more ;) - While I was building the weapons I was debating if it would be cool to have them both be able to shoot in the aiming direction but I put that aside as I would have to animate one of the guns to look over the wheel… but I’m thinking of getting back to that idea while re-iterating on the game itself :)

May I ask if you played the Webbuild or one of the Executables? (I ask because of the frame-lags at the beginning)

Submitted(+1)

big fan of the movement and camera controls. performance was good for me on the windows download, web had some issues. slowmo in the air felt bada**, I will say I wish it didn't affect the mouse sensitivity. Great work on this!

Developer

Thanks SovereignBagel for giving the executable a try and your kind words!

Yeah the slow-mo was a late addition and uses the Godot delta slowdown and that is unfortunately affecting everything else.. even the input. But I will rework that in a later version so one is able to play it like in Max Payne ;)

Submitted(+1)

Very original and frenetic.

Developer

Thank you MedinaJuanGabriel for giving it a try and the kind words!

Did you play the Webbuild and/or one of the Executables?

Submitted(+1)

cool game but laggy on webgl. It frozethe game where particles spawn. Vehicle controls were nice.

Developer

Hey KingdomPots, thank you for giving it a try! You’re absolutely right that the Webuild has some serious frame-lag problem because of the dynamically loaded GPU-Particles.

Glad to hear you liked the Vehicle controls, that’s something ;)

Submitted (1 edit) (+1)

A bit laggy on the HTML port, but the Linux build works nicely. Nothing to say other than it's the kind of game that makes you go "yes" through the entire session.

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot ApeHardware for giving it a try, even the Linux build! That’s great and nice to hear that it run smoothly there. The Webbuild has some serious loading resources on-demand problem, thus the frame-lag at the beginning :/

Great to hear that you seem to like the game play :)

Submitted(+1)

Had some pretty significant lag, but feel and use of theme was really on point! The music is pretty awesome too.

Developer

Hej Isaacpost, thank you for giving it a try and your kind words!

Yeah you’re right, the Webbuild has some Framelag in the beginning. It seems, the dynamically loaded particles and sounds makes it stutter quite a bit, but only at the beginning :/

Submitted(+1)

Loved the way the wheel moves around the map, feels so good, the camera maybe moves a little too much and made me a little bit dizzy at times but it is a cool game and cool idea! Cheers!! :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks REKIEX for giving it a try and the kind words!

Did you play the Webbuild? It might be that the mouse sensitivity is too damn high ;)

Submitted(+1)

That could be the case hahaa and yeah I played the web version ;D

Developer

Thanks REKIEX for letting me know! I have to work on my “Webbuild” game ;)

Submitted(+1)

Really cool take on the theme!

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for trying it out and the kind words!

Did you play the Webbuild oder the Executable? (Just asking to get a better insight of what builds run better)

Submitted(+1)

Using a mono wheel is really a unique approach to the theme and its quite fun too! I could see this expanded into something bigger post jam. There is plenty of potential in here.

Generell nitpicking: The initial lags are a bit unfortunate and almost killed me but after things where settled everything ran smooth. I suppose this is an issue with the WebGL export.

Tested and rated the WebGL version running on Linux using Chromium.

Thanks Lutz for trying it out again! I really bothered you with it the whole Jam ;) So big thanks to you again for giving me all the very thoughtful feedback and helping making it a better game!
