I liked the music and the shrinking weapon was fun to use! As some of the others said some kind of indicator for losing health would be nice, but also it feels a bit weird that the music restarts every time returning to the main menu screen even if just coming from the credits.

We're glad you enjoyed it. :) The shrinking weapon was one of my favorite as well. I do agree though, it needed a little bit more polish on it. I might spend a little time once the judging is over to polish it up to what our vision was. And I agree that the music ended up a bit choppier than we wanted. That was my fault, I need to fix that transition. Thanks for the feedback. :)

Top-down Carmageddon/Destruction Derby hybrid! Never has an apocalypse been so much fun! :)

Developer

Haha, we're glad you had fun with it. We thought it would be a good time. :)

Well I had fun in the apocalypse! I think the motorcycle was my favorite, the most difficult was definitely the yellow truck being slower so the other cars can damage you faster. The music and art were awesome!

Developer(+1)

Haha, we're glad you had fun in our apocalypse. :) You definitely have to get going quick in the bus, and even then, it's quick to take damage. It probably could have used a little more health to compensate for the decreased speed. :)

Congrats on your submission!  I didn't realize I was getting hurt so I died the first time around.  A simple flash to turn the sprite white or something to give you an indicator would probably help.  I really liked the music.  I did much better the second play-through and the 3rd I just tried to run around all the cars til there were a few left and I took them out.

I agree. We did add sound FX for getting hit, but I think you are right on that a simple flash would have gone a long way. We should have spent more time polishing than we did. Lesson learned for next time. Thanks for the feedback!

A mini top down destruction derby! It was nice and fun Consider adding some explosions! Everybody loves explosions and we cannot stick them everywhere, but you can here ;-)

Developer(+1)

We're glad you had fun! Needs more explosions, got it! :) There are several things that I would love to improve, at some point. But that will definitely go on the list!

let death car explode, its hard to follow, who is alive :D where is a shooting sound??? its fun, but lack of feedback(sfx, particles, effects), also too much cars

Developer

Having an explosion on a dying car is a good idea. I tried to implement to enemy health bar system so it would be a little more obvious, but there are definitely improvements that should have been made. 

As to the shooting SFX, they should be there. If they aren't then that is a bug. Thanks for the feedback.
