very fun game! definitely fits the theme without forcing the player to do anything too challenging :) i think its great that this game is so relaxed and unpunishing, it almost feels like a driving sandbox with a mission :D great job on this!

Thanks. I spent so much time tuning for the sense of control (in this theme about being out of control) since my ultimate goal is to make a party game that appeals to a wide audience base. 

Thank you for recognising my efforts and reassuring me about my choices and that it is an accessible game for how difficult it can become.

I especially coded a flip-over system to flip it back when the inevitable flip happens. I have even put it in higher priority than making more objectives, just to give players a meaningful way to "wriggle" and recover from errors.

Also players are allowed to just use 2 wheels so that it is much slower and give them time to react.

Of course the intended way to play is to go full throttle!

Game doesn't load in my browser and can't run on my laptop :/ can't play

Keeps saying "A web page is slowing down your browser" any fix?

Developer
  1. What browser are you using?
  2. Did you try downloading the PC version (I assume yes from 'can't run on my laptop" but just in case)
  3. Try using another broswer?

Great concept and great game! Really unique idea, the controls were good, but a bit uncomfortable for me (I almost printed something on accident while playing :D). The city looked nice. Good job!

Developer

didn't know the game could control stuff out of the game. i guess you can call it literally out of control :)

Submitted(+1)

No the game can't control it. I just played the game and accidentally pressed some sort of keyboard shortcut for printing... It was pretty out of control tho :D

Loved playing this, concept was cool and I think would be much better with 4 players.  With fewer players it does become easier by leaving out some of the controls.  I can imagine a 'hard mode' where different players control steering/acceleration/gear-stick/clutch.

Art style reminded my of 'Simpsons Hit and Run', and everything was really smooth!  Well done

[we've also got a local multiplayer game and struggling to get ratings - don't worry if you don't have time to play it though ^_^ ]

it's a difficult time for couch co-op games i know. i ll also try my best to help you get some co-op feedbacks

Let me know if you find a list or anything of these.  I've found some Google docs with low rated games, but maybe we should make one with local multiplayer?

Edit: Made this and add you guys ^_^
Let's share

Fun game! I found it a bit too easy to win just by using the R and U keys, there wasn't much incentive to use the other ones once I figured out what they did.

Developer(+1)

For example, they may need to overheat to force the players use another set of wheels?

Submitted(+1)

That sounds like it would probably work!

I really liked It

LOVE the controls also the Persona 5 inspired UI. I would love to see this in a bigger playground level like this with bunch of smaller objectives to incentivize using all 4 wheels at once and more risky, dangerous, and hazardous play. -Zane

glad you spotted the reference XD

i almost started making more objectives but decided to make the multiplayer pad instead. 

it is inspired by unrailed's ux, where players just need to stand at a place to make some ui choices

My brain feels tired in a good way, like trying to pedal a bicycle backwards. Found myself saying "To the left! Ok, the other left!" a lot, and laughed a bunch. Great stuff.

Cool game, it's easy to find the hospital.

So you now have a reason to plug one more keyboard to the computer ;)

Very fun little game! My fingers are now in a knot from pressing so many buttons 😎

Developer

The UI is made all by myself, despite the fact that all 3D assets are downloaded
