How does your game fit the theme?
Before you enter the tornado zones, all is calm and you can drive freely. However, things get a bit more tricky when you are in the storm!
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?

Interesting concept! The game is surprisingly hard to beat with the rather flexible vehicle control. I do enjoy the thrill trying to fiddle with the storms.
That final boss was too hard I had to stop playing :D No idea how to beat that one, but I'm sure it can be done :D I really love this concept, it fits the theme perfectly, absolutely love the music. Maybe some things to tweak: I think the driving could be sliightly better, maybe like add a faster speed which can be enabled with shift? Not really sure exactly what I don't like about it. Second thing, when I am filling one tornado, and other one gets close to me too, it would be nice, if it let me finish the first one since I'm still close to that one too. Lastly, the R button could just reset the current level and not go to menu, if I wanna change map, I'll use different button for that. But otherwise it's reaaally great! Had a lot of fun playing :) Maybe DLC Black Hole chaser?? hahaha
Thanks so much for playing our game! That final boss really is a killer, it took us many attempts to win haha! Thank you also for the feedback, we really appreciate it :D
It's a very original and fun concept haha, I think the music is perfect to convey the energy of the game. Maybe you would have added some score points or something similar to give it more dynamism, but other than that it is a very fun project.
Great work! :D
This is such a fun idea! I love the chance to relive the movie Twister! It would be cool to see some flying debris that players have to dodge. Overall, it's a fantastic concept—great job!
Game is great! Sadly, I couldn't finish it, it's very hard, but I guess that's the part of its charm. I stopped playing on Very Hard difficulty, I think it's the last level? Maybe I'll come back to this some day!
This is a fun idea! I get to relive the movie Twister! It would be neat to see some flying debris that the player has to dodge. Overall, this is a great concept, well done!
Alright so after going through the entire game feedback:
- Instant respawns: The game is unforgiving to say it lightly, you die often especially during the later parts of a game it would probably be a good idea to reload the level instead of requiring the player to hop back and select the level with the mouse. And you could just return the player back if he either gets through a level or through a pause screen.
- Turning!: I don't know if on purpose or accidently but turning uses the current throtle instead of forward speed of the vechicle. So you can't turn unless you are pressing down on W or S which is a problem when trying to adjust while beeing pulled into a tornado.
- Throtle: Throtle is wierd as it gets reset to 0 when you stop pressing it... You don't drive a car by turning it of every time you stop pressing throttle you just push in clutch and the rpm slowly falls. So why not keep the throttle slowy falling while not pressing W or S but only add they additional velocity it when they are pressed.
- Progress Bars: You should probably make every tornado have it's own one as having a singular one means that switching between tornados even for a split second means your timer resets.
But I won't say I didn't enjoy the game either way. A great entry and I think the game has some real potential kudos.
wow! Thank you so much for the detailed and informative feedback! We really appreciate you taking the time to play and really think about our game. You have some really solid points and we will definitely be taking them on as we work on building out this game :)
That was a pretty unique take on this theme! I think it would be better as an arcade game with some tricks, events, more things happening on the screen!
cool concept, had a lot of fun driving around tornados haha
Very cool idea. Loved the different levels and challenges and for some reason really enjoyed that driving over crops messed them up lol. Great work! Congrats and good luck!
This was fun experience! Loved your idea and music!
Really cool game! It was very fun to play. I liked the atmosphere that you created with the audio and the subtle things like the grass blowing. Great job! :D
really fun to play! I like the atmosphere.
really creative idea and fun
Most games have the storm be something you react to, but in this game it's your goal. That's a cool and unique interpretation of the theme, and your game controls well to boot. good job :)
Really fun whipping around tornados. Thrilling even. Don't think I picked up any skills though. Nice laptop UI design. Great music to go with it. Had fun mowing the fields too!
Was a bit frustrating when I got swept up by a second tornado and lost my thrills.
I'm still working through that final boss. Can't even do one of those big tornadoes in the last round yet. Really difficult, but really fun.
I had fun and it's different approach to the theme. I liked it! Good job!
Love the music and the details with the corn fields being run over.
When I finally got the feel for the handling of the vehicle it was actually quite fun :) though it did take some time to be able to drive around a tornado :P
One thing that I'd like to point out is that the bar lowers it self too slow when I'm not near a tornado. It's enough to just be at the edge of it and I can easily complete it. Maybe if the bar would fill itself faster when I'm closer to it could fix it. Other than that, everything was fun :).
PS: I'd appreciate if you'd also play my game: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-12/rate/2973690
Really fun game and a really well executed idea, congrats!
