Thanks again for the interview and appreciate the highlight!
Nice, cute,
hits a bit too close to home in Polandbut the design is quite flawed. Not only is the standard price worse than the gambling price 7/8 of the time, but there's really no choices to be made since you either get the better price at the one-arm pump, or are forced to choose the standard one; there's no punishment for using your three tries at the one-arm pump. Maybe if there was a price for using it and if there were different standard prices at different stations, it could get a bit more interesting, but at the end of the day, it's still just a gambling game. You need to include more ways for the players to control the outcomes, more strategy... for example by choosing different routes which have different lengths (i.e. different amounts of gas used) but stations with better or worse prices or better or worse luck, which you could find out from the locals or something like that.I appreciate your feedback and there's certainly a lot of things we can improve upon and add more control over the game. But your bar for a quality of a jam game might be a bit high imho (Albo mozliwe ze to brzmi troche grubo bo jestes z Polski, hehe) . There's only so much things you can focus on and deliver during a jam. We spent time on making the basic things feel good and from the feedback we got that goal was achieved and that's no quick or easy task
We're planning to add more content, ways to affect your price and earn money in the post jam version though :)
The art style is great! The game and its use of the theme is funny and clever, I like it a lot! Great job!
Creative use of theme, bit one time joke though. Balanced bit too hard though I think, did not manage to got further than third gas station, most of the tries end up second. Art style I like
I don't think it's balanced too hard. It's completely unbalanced. Pure RNG. Which totally can be annoying if you got unlucky a few times in a row. That's certainly an area where we can improve. Letting the numbers be random but reducing the chances of constantly high prices. Thanks for your feedback!
