It is awesome idea! Mostly well executed, although the game doesn't allow for errors to be made :(

Looks pretty rad too!

Submitted

You’ve created some really nice tension here, nice job! I wish I could get past unlocking the car, because I’m really interested by what else the map holds but unfortunately I’m pretty stuck! Some checkpoints and a faster death could be nice :) Very enjoyable though, really cool concept and satisfyingly made.

Liked the intro a lot! the graphic style is nice too, the only think I dont like is that we you are out of fuel you just sit there and have to go out of the area to start the game again, maybe the sun go down too fast? 

otherwise great game and great idea for the theme. 

Submitted

Really cool concept, with a lot of tension !

Submitted

The map growing is really interesting and made me want to rush and explore a lot, I feel like the timings are a bit tight but the controls are  snappy, the upgrades nice and it is overall addictive! Well done!

Wow this is one of the best ones so far, very creative the style feels a bit like Dune and the gameplay is very addictive, you should think about making this one a full game definitely!! great job!!

Submitted

I like the overall idea, and the atmosphere of the game (and the thumbnail art !) The car is a little hard to control, it doesn't exactly feel like an upgrade to get it

Submitted

Pixel art is realluy nice and the actual gameplay utilises the theme really well. I like it a lot, well done. GG

Submitted

Nice artwork, also liked the darkening mechanic.  

Submitted

Cool art and a really unique idea.

I really like this game as it is user-friendly but also challenging in difficulty. Love the concept :)

Submitted

Interesting concept :)

The difficulty is a bit hard and I think the upgrade should be automatic (or maybe it is). This part isn't really clear :3

Submitted

I took a bit of time to understand but once I did it was fun. It's a nice concept!

Submitted

You can definitely feel the tension in this game, through the visuals, audio and whatnot. Incredible work!

Submitted

Neat idea, neat art, great atmosphere, good sound design! Feels very "whole", like a complete and polished product. Should probably easier with more margins at the start to allow players to discover the mechanics without having to constantly start over.

Developer

If we ever work on the project again, we'll definitly include more lenient paths. Thank you so much for playing!

Submitted

Everything is perfect in this game, especially the pixel art and atmosphere.

Submitted

The sense of survival and tension is abundant; it's a great piece of work.

love the concept of the camera-gathering style, super cool. the visual style feels dope, everything meshes together perfectly. makes me think of mad max

Submitted

Really cool concept and nice animations at the very start. Good atmosphere, art, and overall vibes.

Submitted

Great game! Atmosphere is great and the gameplay really scratches the route-planning itch. The car is IMO the perfect amount of jank to drive where it's not too easy, but fun to figure out!
