The game is really !@#$% cool and fun. ( sorry for my language ;D ) Good idea and great job ! :)
Thanks for the kind !@#$% words, I really !@#$% appreciate it! ;)
I really liked the idea. It would've been much more engaging if the potholes were randomly generated. But besides that, cool idea, nice artstyle and fitting music. Great job!
Thank you for all the feedback! I completely agree and I actually spent wayyy too much time researching random and procedural generation and just couldn't find a way to make it work with everything else I wanted to do. It definitely would have made the game more engaging and re-playable, thanks again!
The game looks great! I like how the person in the car talks sometimes, and curses when you hit the holes. Dodging stuff is fun, and it took me a while to get used to how slidey the car was, but after a while I got used to it. My only feedback is that it is kind of strange when you jump and can see the edges of the map... maybe you could make it so the camera zooms in on the car when it jumps, like a cool action shot! Amazing job!
Thank you for the feedback, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! And I completely agree with you, I think a zoom in effect on jumps would have been the perfect answer for that map issue, great idea!
cool game!
Thanks for checking it out!

Can't download when I'm at work but I'm very excited to try it when I get home tonight!
Thanks
Simple and fun game, would be improved with the car turning instead of just sliding, also the potholes are hard do distinguish where there's shadows on the road.
Thanks for the feedback! I did originally want to make the car actually turn but decided to keep things simple for the sake of time and I know those shadows can be annoying and seem to be a pain point for a lot of players, stick to the left side of the road when you can!
Really enjoyed the game! Love the music and the art it fits together perfectly. Also love the swearing that comes out of the car found it really funny. Overall a very good game and very addicting as well :)
Thank you for the kind words, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
wow!! good job!
Thanks!
Awesome game, good job!
Thank you!
Honestly, this is my favorite game so far for this competition. The controls are so simple and it feels quite addicting. The Music is nice and relaxing and the special affects crack me up! All I have to say is that I wish there was a checkpoint function. That would make this a bit more fun especially because it took me like 3 runs to figure out the wings also caused you to gain altitude, not just maintain altitude like I initially thought.
Thank you for all feedback, it really means a lot! I completely agree with you about the checkpoint system and I'm a little frustrated I didn't prioritize that more in the beginning since I think it would have really improved the experience for a lot of people. I'm glad you figured out the flying haha and thanks again!
The dialogue box with curses XD, hilarious! Nice submission enjoyed the game
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed!
The music was damn nice. I felt that the car tended to swerve a little too much at times......either way, damn nice :)
Thank you, I really appreciate the feedback. I spent a lot of time trying different force modes for the steering and I agree it can feel a little "swervy" at times and I originally hard even harder levels where you had to really use momentum around the potholes to dodge them, but it was way too hard haha.
Loved it! its really cool, I also love the fact that its not an endless runner .
Thanks, that’s great to hear. I actually almost fully went that direction and it still has aspects of one, but I wanted to add a little story to make things more interesting :)
Good games! Had nice time playing it! :)
Thank you!
The explosion doesn't fit the game's artstyle and shadows make it really hard to see the potholes, but other than that the game is great.
Thank you! I agree that the shadows can be tough and the art styles don’t really mesh but that mix of realistic particles, cartoony environment and pixel text/graphics felt kinda fun to me, and mostly I just love sweet explosion and magic effects :)
It's really enjoyable! You might consider making hole colliders a little bit smaller (player friendly), also it remind me Road Fighter so, NICE JOB!
Thanks for the feedback! It sounds like I need to check out Road Fighter...
A solid little game, the one tweak i might make is putting a little outline around the potholes as they can be very hard to see, especially in shadows. Overall fun little jam.
Thank you! I actually did play with outlines a lot and to me it just felt a little easy when you could see the potholes so clearly. I agree it’s tough but I like the challenge that the shadows present and even thought about adding a moving light source so that throughout the game it would change which potholes were being hidden. Great feedback, thanks a lot!
Very nice game. Check out my game to
Thank you will do!
Great Game, simple game mechanics but they change up over the course of the game keeping it interesting. Also potholes fits the theme so well, I wish I had thought of it haha. Good Job! :)
Thank you! I had a few ideas initially, it was between this, a portal game like a lot of other people or some type of gardening game where you planted food in holes. I really wanted to give driving a try for my first 3D venture and I’m glad I did :)
Cool and simple concept design! I had fun driving the car, controls felt good. I like that the tree shadows make it harder to see the pot holes. Really clever idea for the theme! My hometown had terrible potholes haha. The low-poly 3d model style looks great and nice sound too! Keep it up~ Great job submitting a game to the jam! Please check out mine when you have time :)
Thanks so much, that means a lot to me to hear. I had a really fun time building it, the roads around me aren’t either and maybe that’s why everyone is identifying with the horn/swear combo when hitting one! I’ll be trying your game out here soon!
LOVED that the car could talk, not sure why that got to me so much haha. I wish the game was just a little more challenging! And I also was constantly being surprised at what was next, great job!
Thank you! I could have gotten a lot more creative with level design and had more levels total with more time but you’re obviously also fairly skilled since a lot of others think it’s really hard haha!
