Great game! I struggled to realize that I had to move the car at first, but after that, everything went smoothly. It’s already fun and has great potential for more!

Super fun little game! Feels really polished, loved just playing around with all the little components and seeing how fast I could get the vehicle going LMAO

I do feel like maybe the way you’re detecting a loss is a little sensitive (?) as there were times where I was pretty firmly still on the ground and able to move but the round would end. Despite this though, tons of fun! Would love to see it developed further :D

Developer

lose conditions is just the ball character touching the gound terrain, so its prob just wacky collisions shenanigans XD

This game really reminds me of Bad Piggies, I would say I'm loving my crazy ideas here!

ooh the inverted rocket placement, interesting

Pretty fun game with lots of nice polish. especially when you restart and the screen goes in and out. It took me an unfortunate amount of time to realise that the cart doesn't just move itself and I needed to use the arrow keys. Maybe just having a little tip pop up telling people what buttons to press would help. Very good entry.

What an awesome polished game for just two days! Menus are very nice and the building mechanics work quite well! I was a big fan of bad piggies when that came out so naturally I enjoyed this game.

The rockets are definitely a bit buggy and sometimes I wasn't sure how I lost. I liked the variety of all the different parts though, definitely gives you so options to play around with and test different things.

Nicely done for your short time frame! Keep up the good work!

pthe rocket got some weird messed rotation calculation lol, i did fixed that and are also planning to add stabilized objects that basically dont rotate along with the vehicle chasis, rn i managed make a rocket one, this should make it very easy to traverse the map

Honestly couldn’t drive at all, but the game sounded epic, and felt epic. The UI was amazing, and honestly would commend you for all that. Well played.

Developer

please tell me whats wrong, its very VERY unlikely to have an input error, it could have been the browser youre using or something happened, theres like nothing wrong with the input code which ive gone over more times than i could count (also use the browser inspect thing cuz there might be somthing in the console)

Submitted(+1)

Simple and sweet game. I loved the expressions of the lil blue guy :)  took me a while to figure out the controls and sometimes i wasnt able to drive

Developer

input might be a bit wack, and apparently its some sort of browser issue? welp at least you did get to play i, thank!

Didn't play bad piggies but this takes me back to the time I used to play on miniclip.com and addicting games. Thanks for the nostalgia and the fun. The art style was on point for this type of games with whacky physics where glitches makes things more fun. The level was abit too difficult for me and when the wheels were closer together, I didn't realise they were cancelling each other out so adding something that tells me that two parts are not working(or connected badly) might have been better for noobs like me😅😅 but I guess you can say that is for the player to explore and learn.

Developer

I am working on non-uniform parts (it wont rotate along with the main chasis) so that will tremendously help with people who would want to try beating this game, also the rocket is kinda bugged a bit with how they actually propel the main chasis (rotation stuff haha i hate it)

other than that you shouldnt be putting wheels close together, and you can just put the parts anywhere you like (as long as they dont overlap with the stage lol), idk if theres any connection bugs as of right now pinjoints in godot right now is very simple to use but stupidly hard to recalibrate. so it might have just been a weird placement you did,

i dont expect anyone to beat this version right now but if you managed to get at least 5 out of all the stars pickup that means you did great!

I think I need more wheel

cool game, I liked it :)

Pretty fun game. Its annoying to rebuild your car every time but other than that its pretty good

Submitted(+1)

This is a great game. It is a little tedious to keep having to rebuild your vehicle, but I know that you're planning on changing that later so it's not very pressing. I had a great time playing it. Keep up the good work, and TWO DAYS!!! wow, just wow. I remember watching people play bad piggies. I never played, instead I would watch other people play it on their own devices. This game doesn't have the same grid limitations which is very freeing. Nice job.

really liked the music, and fits perfectly with the theme

i had a lot of fun not having limitations on where i can place items

amazing

I used to play Bad Piggies a lot as a kid, and the concept is perfect for the theme! All the mechanics are very well executed, and it's so much fun to be able to place the items anywhere. It's an amazing game congratulations!!
