Went from: "Aw, I will take care of my pet rock" when clicking the cover image to "Okay, I'm going to carefully drive with my rock and avoid traffic" when reading the description to "Crash all the busses!!!". Not at all what I expected when first clicking on the game, but it was a lot of fun! Well done! :D

Just look at that face - the desire for chaos in the eyes, you should have known xD
Unexpected fun is always great - have a nice day!
Also if you want a cute game you just need to play your own. The aesthetic, both visually and acoustically is great! I look forward to playing it with the brewing implemented too.
Critical success! I would like to claim all credit for the "features" that you encountered, they were all planned from the start and not broken at all..... I'm so pleased you were able to have fun despite with the bugs - great to hear it got you laughing.
TetherGeist is awesome - It was one of the first games that caught my eye when playing some submissions after the jam. The art, music and the way it plays are all great. I need to play through the full thing at some point.
Thanks for the feedback - we are continuing to develop the game to make it more playable while maintaining the chaos. The health system is going to be tied to the destruction you cause so it will absolutely be a key part of the game play moving forward.
Glad to know you had fun!
I have played some Gooman too. It is a great little puzzle game - I love the sounds the goobs make xD
(Also I played the game before ratings ended - Just haven't got round to saying hi to people who left comments)

....yeah, a rope was planned but we didn't have time to implement it. Glad to know you had fun with the derpy physics!

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it! (we would have had more things but we ran out of time, still pleased with what we made though!)
Wow thanks for the high praise! I'm glad you enjoyed it! The main reason for all the bugs is that the 1.0 version for the jam was built 5 minutes before 7pm so we had no time to playtest the new changes (this was because a new script that was supposed to randomise car models ended up breaking everything so we had to revert changes which took a while to implement, therefore not allowing time for bug fixes). I think the main problem was simply the fact that this is mine and my brothers first 48 hour game jam but we've had a ton of fun making it! After the voting period is over we'll release an update with the main game breaking bugs fixed and a few extra features, so feel free to play that when that releases!

Yeah that was due to us running out of time. We had a goal planned where you'd gain points from smashing the boulder into cars, and lose lives when crashing your car. Thanks for the feedback! (We are adding to the game so it will be updated once the voting period is over)

In that case I'll show you one of the bugs that happened during testing that we found funny!
