This was great fun. I think you pulled off your idea perfectly. The ship controls well and after a learning run I ended up scoring over 2k. The palette and music fit your theme perfectly too, overall a great package. Well done.
2K??? You really got good at it, congrats!
Thank you for playing!
Took a little to get used to the controls but once I did wow this game is fun! Moving around and using boost somehow feels wacky and polished at the same time. Learning the map as I delivered more customers felt super rewarding. Great all around!
At one point, all the locations were just plain numbers, just like Space Taxi, but they're easier to remember if they look like actual places. So I spent an entire afternoon making dedicated tiles for each location, and looks like it paid off.
Thank you for playing!!
One of the most polish game I play for now ! I really love of the way the taxi move and how both dash and landing gear can be use to move in the space more freely. And the overall map is really well design, with the shortcut, but also the impressive visual!
Thank you so much for playing!
Great game! I particularly enjoyed crashing through buildings and crates etc - and spinning around like crazy! Controls did take a little to get used to but thought that was part of the fun of the game. Very nice!
I'm glad you got used to the controls, thank you for playing!
Very fun and awesome game! I loved it all!
Thank you!!
Once I got the hang of the controls... this is great in all respects! Very well done! <3
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you for playing!!
Super cool game! I'm not familiar with Space Taxi but It's really reminiscent of a 2D Crazy Taxi
The colours you chose fit very well the futuristic game you were going for.
It was hard to get the hang of the control at first (I'm not super good with momentum controls like this) but near the end of my session, I was able to move quickly and precisely without much issues.
Good job on your submission, well done!
I was worried the other day, I showed the game to a friend of mine and he struggled with the controls. At one point I thought the handling was too unintuitive for a quick arcade game. But other people were able to learn it in a couple minutes. I'm relieved that you were able to get the hang of it in time.
Thank you so much for playing!
This is sick!! Fantastic work!
The graphics are stellar (and that palette really compliments it), the gameplay is fun, music is jammin, and heck you even managed to get destructible environment stuff in there! Awesome work!
Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I loved it, this really captures the soul of Crazy Taxi! The color palette is great, the soundtrack is nice, and the "breakables" are a really nice and welcome addition.
I wanted to add fruit stands as breakables, those are a classic. But I couldn't get the necessary particle effects working in time.
Thanks for playing!
I have no idea what I'm doing, and I loved it! I was banging and crashing into everything (not sure if that was intentional, but I was like dude, this is insane, haha!) Great graphics and concept. I just need to get hang of the controls :)
The controls are momentum based, and not everyone experienced Asteroids or Lunar Lander, so it takes more than a couple minutes to get used to. But at least you enjoyed the chaos. :-)
I loved it and I used to play asteroids back in the day, I'm just outta touch with modernism, had a blast playing it though :)
I've never heard of Space Taxi before, but after looking it up I would say you did an excellent job of reimagining it as a chaotic "Crazy Taxi" esque game. The physics were actually quite intuitive for me. I wish there was a little more variety in destinations, but the map had a good layout and the little bits of cash sitting around and the destructible terrain to make shortcuts were excellent little touches. Well done.
The original design was a city with 3 starting destinations, and you unlocked more districts over time. But I had to simplify it to make it in time. I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
I loved it!
I used to spend hours and hours playing crazy taxi when I was a kid, and this really brought back a lot of good memories.
Your game is amazing, the music is very consistent with the gameplay and the ship has a good control within the madness that is the game, definitely one of my favorites of the jam.
I also spent a small fortune at the arcade a couple of summers, back in the day, and Crazy Taxi was one of my favorites.
Thank you for playing, and for the kind words.
Took a little bit to get a hang of but I really enjoyed moving around! Great arcade vibes and very nice graphics. I was afraid at first that visual clarity would be a problem but the game manages to communicate itself pretty well. Enjoyed the short theme song but I kinda wish it was a longer loop :/
Really solid overall, good entry.
I keep making the same mistake of leaving all the audio and music for the last moment. Getting the player controller to play nice with physics took way too much time.
Thank you so much for playing!
Really cool destructible environments! Had a heck of a time steering the taxi.
Thank you for playing!
Really neat little game! I can't control it very well but man if it wasn't fun to try!
I'm glad you had fun! Thanks for playing!
Really fun game! I made some cool spaceship flips while delivering some of these guys. Love that the landing gear kind of stabilizes you, so you can be really reckless but still land smoothly :)
The landing gear is one of the strongest connections to the original Space Taxi, so there is a tiny bit of precision and elegance in the middle of all the chaos.
Thank you for playing!
Great game, very creative. Love the destruction :)
There was a lot more destruction planned, but at least a good chunk of that made it in.
Thanks for playing!
I had so much fun playing this game, simple but entertaining, i laugh when i see my helpless ship just spinning around, i dig the music a lot, overall, great game!
Thanks for playing! I always struggle with music, and having to work with such few channels doesn't help :-)
I might add a title screen song post-jam. Eventually.
This is great! I really enjoyed the Crazy Taxi vibes in 2D, makes for compelling gameplay.
Thanks!
There's so much more environmental chaos I wanted to add, but time in jams is treacherous. Thanks for playing!!
