Good game with fun driving and unique design elements. Platforming sections were a nice change of pace. Car controls could use some refinement but overall it's a great submission. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for playing! We are glad you enjoyed it!
Seems neat but the driving sections are incredibly jittery for me. Not sure if it's a performance issue or what's going on
Sorry to hear that! Let me know if the downloadable version I sent you solves the problem. Could be a WebGL thing. Thank you for playing! :)
The downloadable version was MUCH better for me
I really liked how you two basically did two different games but integrated them really nicely. There's a lot of charm here and the effects have a really nice juice to them without being over the top. The one thing I'd change is the direction the car reverses. When you're turning while reversing you have the car turning in the opposite direction compared to how reversing a car works in real life, which is really unintuitive
It's been polished very well and with so much fun.I really enjoyed the game.But I finally gave up to wake up.It's just too annoying for me to check where I missed coins :D
Haha, yeah the reason why I implemented two timers was for people who might not want to go the hard core completionist route. Clearing the debt usually means visiting all the dungeons and seeing most of the major content in the game. However there are small easter eggs that unlock in your bedroom to reward you for finding more coins and chests! Thank you for playing!
Fantastic game. So much stuff to drive over and places to explore.
I Played for quite a while, and managed to pay the debt but could not find the last two chests. The remaining coins were probably at the teeth place or maybe behind the big catsby, which I couldn't get past. Had lots of fun though.
The feeding missions were a little difficult, especially with the car controls, but I found that you can ram the objects very hard, and they will bounce off the walls and eventually go in the target.
Overall this is a very well-made and visually appealing game. Good job!
Thank you for playing!! All dungeons have 2 chests except the tooth dungeon. Was it the ball of yarn you had to bounce on that gave you trouble? It is kind of a tricky jump, you want to aim for the center and let yourself bounce on it a few times to get height.
The Greater Catsby himself doesn't have a hit box (but he does have puurrrrsonality and is quite the talker).
Ramming the objects in the feeding missions is the best general strategy, they cannot get out of the area so you don't have to stress too much.
The game was designed to be chill and taken at your own pace with lots of funny little set pieces, jokes, and "lore". Im glad you appreciated that!
(until you realize there are 2 speed run timers....I'd die a happy man if someone speedran this game for GDQ!).
Thank you for playing. Yeah I designed the feeding games to let the player bounce the heads all over the place to account for the driving controls. They also will not bounce out of the boundaries.
Really fun to drive around! Love the details like trails on cats and some physics. Keep it up!
Thanks! Make sure you check out the hub in the game that tracks your progress (upper right button). there is a speed run timer too. I keep worrying people might miss that whole aspect of the game (i didnt update the UI properly and it's too late to patch til voting is done, lol)
I really enjoyed this game. Awesome submission and in only a week! I was following the updates you posted in the discord and was excited to play it!
The visuals are really cool and every action felt impactful (JUICE) as well as fitting the theme with the debt.
I think the driving could use a little bit of tweaks, it is fun but was sometimes a bit frustrating.
blending platforming and a driving game is a cool concept, once again an awesome entry!
Thank you so much! We burnt a lot of late night hours putting this together and had a lot of fun making it. Im glad people have been enjoying it! We both agree the car physics could use some tweaking...also I need to emphasize the hub button a bit more so people know to go there to track progress.
What can I say, what an absolute joy of a game. I cannot believe how much you managed to pack in there. Its legitimately so fun navigating the map to so many different locations. Everything you interact with just oozes flair and character. The platforming sections were a nice break from the driving.
Everything about the design is just so unique, I love how much originality is here and it feels fantastic. I would love to see you flesh this out further, I think considering how much originality you've already packed in, something like this could really go places.
My only real critique is the driving. While it was often a lot of fun to go skidding like crazy in loops, it got a little wild at times which led to constant backing up and pulling forward.
All in all, incredible entry, I'm floored at such a unique and fun game.
Thank you so much! JDEV and I both agree the car controls are a bit loose / squirrely, which we'd love to refine with more time. Have you tried doing donuts for around 5-10 seconds? There is an easter egg if you are a fan of a particular show about a bird and a racoon. ;)
Awesome game. Car was fun and, though I always have trouble driving in games, it was fun to skid around! A fun idea - I think the teeth level was my favorite (you went full-on dream-mode there). Always awkward having two genres in one game but I think you did a great job here.
Thank you! The teeth dungeon was one of my first ideas when we were talking about dreams, and ironically the last dungeon developed lol.
This game is super fun to play and has a lot of flair to it. The style is unique and interesting, and the gameplay had me playing for hours. The car was a little hard to control, though I believe this was intentional. Will definitely play again!
Thank you! JDEV did the car controls and it was a first time for both of us doing that style of gameplay. We agree they were a bit loose, and might tighten them up in a patch after the voting is done. :)
Glad you enjoyed it! The original idea was for the car to be a standalone mini-game which would follow the theme of out of control driving, which is a common dream people have. However, we liked the mechanic a lot and decided to make it the overworld. So it was originally intentional but I wish I had the foresight to refine it more once we "switched gears" (pun intended).
This has got really great style and lots of visual polish! The game works smoothly overall, but I don't think it would have hurt to give a bit more direction at the start. Overall great work!
Thank you for playing! Yeah, the beginning and the ending were added at the very end so we didn't have quite as much time to polish them up. I'd love to add more emphasis to the "VISIT HUB" button to remind people that is where you check up on your progress. Thank you for our feedback!
Really cool game ! Twisted & funny
Love the visuals style it's very colorfull and weird in the right way.
Don't have much to say in terms of feedbacks. the concept works good, it plays well & the implementation is very neat.
Great job !
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
