How does your game fit the theme?
In this game you play as a storm chaser. Because you are recording the storm(tornado) the other can prepare for it and use the information you've gather to get to safety.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, except for sfx and music

I LOVED THIS SO MUCH DRIVING 200 MPH STRAIGHT INTO A LIVE TORNADO WHILE RECORDING AND HONKING HAS TO BE THE FUNNIEST IDEA EVER. Straight up gold. The gameplay wasn't that engaging but goddamn the premise was. Incredible job.
LOL, thanks man.
A very cool idea and pretty unique game! It was simple, but that meant I was able to enjoy figuring out the interactions myself.
Really liked the hand-drawn art style too.
Thanks. I really liked game without tutorial so I tried to make it as beginner-friendly as possible, and yet I still think it should be more polish for beginner.
We thought about making 3d game at first but, my friend came up with the idea of something like 2.5d so we thought this art style would fit the theme the most!
Very fun! I loved the touch of being able to honk the horn and when I crashed into the tornado the effects were great!
Thanks! The idea of honking was one of the first idea we came up with, and we thought it'll be funny so we just kept it in.
Nice idea and illustrations.
Good job.
THank you!
Good game, a little confused by the sound of the car engine. According to the tachometer, the gears are switched, and the sound makes it clear that the car is going into a cutoff. The art is very cool, as is the idea itself, but like everyone here, I didn't have enough different interactions, but this is a jam with its own time limit. Good job! Good luck:)
Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to fine tune the sfx since they were very last minute. Thank you for the feedback!
cool idea and genuinely terrifying when you get hit by the tornado XD
hahaha, I thought about adding blood but I think this is enough. Thanks for playing!
Great job on the hand drawn graphics. Simple but well made and powerful. Even though the gameplay is very simple here for the game jam, i think there is potential for some nice additions in the chasing, I hope you will enrich this after the jam !
Thanks! I absolutely will continue to develop and polished the game out.
Loved the art work! good job!!
THankss!!
Art is incredible! But as many others have said, some more interaction would be nice. Great work.
THanks! Because this game is a simulation type of game having more interaction would make the game feel even more alive!
Was this inspired by twisters? Just recently watched the movie and loved living through a similar experience. I managed to get 154k views. Wow it was tense once the storm got close. I really have nothing negative to say, other than maybe there should be a better indicator on whether you are in drive or reverse.
I never heard of twisters but my friend might be inspired by it. He immediately suggest this idea after the theme has been revealed. I'm glad you liked the game and spend the time playing this game. it would take me quite a while to get some views without dying. I definitely I agree with you that the driving need some polish for people who just started to play the game. I added the P R D to indicate that there is three gear but I am aware that this isn't enough. Lastly thanks for playing man I really appreciate it!!!
I liked the artstyle, though I wish there were more interactions while chasing storm
I liked the artstyle, though I wish there were more interactions while chasing storm
First of all THANKS! And yes there were kind of suppose to be more interaction but this is the base game. Originally we planned to add zoom to the camera to control the view and radio too. But we fell shortly on time!! Again THANKS!!
I had a similar idea but went with something else, happy to see this, great artstyle and presentation!
Wow my friend immediately thought of storm chasing after the theme has been revealed. And after brainstorming for quite a while we both agree this is a really cool idea. Thanks!!
This is awesome, unique controls and beautiful artwork. I really enjoyed it, well done!
Thanks man! I absolutely agree that the game look amazing. if there were more time I would've added more stuff like fog and fix the road animation to make the game look even better!
Well done! Everything looks great!
THankss! I am so bless by our artist.
Thanks haha...This is only possible because of your coding after all
AHHAHAHAHA
The hand drawn style is really cool! Nice job!!
Yes! I really love the art too thanks.
The intro was super cool. I really like the art, it's very well made. The game looks wonderful.
The mechanics were fun, it's a cool concept and a novel idea. Controlling the car by interacting with the mouse was satisfying and I like the amount of detail you've put into the interactions, like the accurate speedometer and tachometer. It was also very cool how the camera screen showed a copy of the world outside.
I had a bit of trouble understanding how to get viewers, however. I assumed it was by being close to the tornado but I'm not sure if that's correct? I couldn't seem to get the number to go up and if I got too close I was sucked into the storm. Was there some mechanic I missed?
Anyway, an impressively polished game and a fun take on the theme.
Wow thanks for playing and spending time on the comment. To get views you were suppose to get close to the storm and the closer you get the more views you get. This was intentional to replicate the danger of some of the crazy storm chaser, especially on the bigger storm. But the game wasn't very balance, if you get unlucky you would definitely die and there nothing you can do. We didn't have a lot of playtesting so that's why it wasn't very balance.
Again, thanks for the comment I really appreciate it!!
Great art style and cool game overall!
Thanks!!
Good Game!!
Thankss!!
Really charming art style!
Thanks!! My friend drew all of them and I think they looks really cute.
May the spirits of ohio bless on thee.
