This is really impressive, especially for your first 3D project! Also, you have amazing audio and hilarious explosions.

Developer(+1)

Thank you, it means a lot. I smiled a lot while putting this together :)

Submitted(+1)

Really cool! The idea is good and funny, and I love that honking sound. Well done! very fun little game :)

Developer

Thank you! The honk seems to be a hit so far, yay free internet sounds! 

Submitted

You're very welcome! :) Haha yes I saw :P Woot-woot! :) Keep up the good work

This is one catchy song! I really like the graphics. My girlfriend said it reminds her of the streets on our own city so make of that what you will haha

Developer

Thank you and sorry for your roads! ;)

Simple, proven mechanics. The environment is well built. The music and sounds are well selected. I like when the car emits the horn sound and the text box appears. I have been listening to it in the background for ten minutes just going by itself and sometimes beeping, then it explodes.

Good work!

That means a lot, I really appreciate the feedback. I am also particularly fond of the horn noise :)

Submitted(+1)

10/10 for the exploding car.

Developer

10/10 for your feedback :)

I love how your car honks XD

I drive over holes intentionally to make it honk XD

Developer

I agree, the honk/swear bubble combo is probably my favorite part of the game. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

That was awesome :)  It was definitely unique.

I bet nobody can beat my highscore of 500 mph XD

Developer

Thank you! And I guess you found the super secret powerup that even I didn't know was in there ;)

Submitted(+1)

Nice work! I think you could give some more screen space to the road. Felt like the camera was a bit too lo to the ground. 

Developer

Thanks! I totally agree that the actual levels need a lot of tuning, I could have spent all week just figuring out how big to make the potholes and where to place them. The camera was also tricky and I agree feels clunky at times, especially when avoiding objects in the air. I really appreciate the feedback!

Great game, I loved the art style. Checkpoints could be nice, but it's still pretty fun and I liked the variety of obstacle throughout the game with the upgrade. Good job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much, I really appreciate the feedback and I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

Awesome game. Killing the player and forcing him all the way back to the beginning is not awesome tho'. Love the little chat boxes and the unlock of an ability :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I agree the game is pretty hard and unforgiving, I really appreciate the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Nice game.. I am confused with holes and shadows. had fun/

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

Great music and graphics.It was really fun to play.In my opinión the speed counter looks a Little bit out of place and it's not very usefull.

Developer

Thanks and I actually agree, that's more of a remnant from the earlier design when speed was going to matter more for going over ramps. Great feedback!

Submitted(+1)

I really enjoyed this one. Especially the steady progress with power ups and the intuitive handling of the new obstacles by the player. The graphics were really nice but made the power ups look a bit out of place. Still a five star experience!

Developer

Thanks for the kind words!

Submitted(+1)

Woah nice game, cute graphics and the car handles well. I think it was a bit laggy but it was probably just on my end. V.Solid entry...

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks! I had a blast building this one! I did publish on the highest settings to get the shadows rendering properly at high speeds but I still have a lot to learn about optimizing my games for performance.

Submitted(+1)

Optimisation is always reallly hard, but hey you did a rly gj. I hope you end up checking out my game too :3

Developer

I think you're doing great! Some really solid concepts at play, the stealth component is fun and the attack feels really tight. Great stuff!

Submitted(+1)

Nice music & sound effects and a fun mechanic

would love to see a score to know how far i got tho ! :D

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you! High score was another feature that got cut to make the deadline, I'm thinking I might have to make updates to this one and keep it going based on feedback I’m getting!

Submitted(+1)

Audio is the best part of the game!! And then are your car jumps :D Great work !!!

Developer (2 edits) (+1)

Thanks! Just using free assets I found on the Unity store :)

Submitted(+1)

Nice fun simple mechanic. I like how when you die the car just explodes.

Developer

Thank you! I was actually laughing out loud when I implemented that and the swear bubble, this one was a lot of fun to make. 

Submitted(+1)

As someone who likes humour in video games, I loved this. Wish there was a check point system so I could get past the flying pot holes. Enjoy the big review though :)

Developer (3 edits) (+1)

Thank you! I was originally going to put checkpoints in there but I ran out of time, cutting features to make deadlines is tough. It is definitely possible to get through that last part, keep trying! I may have to come back and update this game later on since it was so fun to make. Thanks for checking it out :)

Submitted(+1)

Overall a nice game. I wish there was no sideforce, since it is makign the controlling very hard.

Developer

Thanks! I played around with a lot of different force modes and physics values for the steering and this method felt the most cartoony and tight to me but I definitely also see how it’s tough to get used to. I appreciate the feedback!
