great little game!  very polished and detailed.  i especially like the way the score is represented by street signs - nice way to use in-game elements rather than GUI feedback.  

fun contrast of friendly interaction with NPCs to brutal carnage.  all in all, a very impressive submission!

Great work with drifting cars!

I wish the night time theme was even more darker but I guess the other cars would be difficult to see.

Developer

Thanks a lot! I tried to make the night darker but it was sooo hard haha, didnt find a solution on time

Great fun racing game :-)!

That was fun racing en drifting around as mailman :-)!

Nice pixel art and coherent style. Driving in the dark was also fun. Maybe could be a bit more light & dark difference for the theme. The VFX were a bonus like the marks.

Background track had the right intensity for this kind of game and the sfx added to the ambiance.

Maybe a bit of UI but you did polish it nice into the game and not very clear UI. Nice idea for the avenue scoring for example.

Maybe some extra variety in the levels would make it even more fun. Some extra obstacles for example or driving through a village or city at some point (did not see any other terrain in my playthrough so I think it was not there). Maybe even some enemies or cops going after you if you drive into too many smileys.

But overall this was a very fun racer to play and a solid jam entry. Well done!

Developer

Thanks for this amazing feedback! The room generation became a bit complex to handle for a jam haha but the plan was to have lots of different rooms like you said! The ennemy would be a very good addition, I keep it in mind ๐Ÿคฉ

In terms of zero UI I don't think this hits the mark with text and checkboxes, A little more UI such as a Timer to try to stay fast I think would fit this game super well, but the controlls feel great its silly but fun, I love it!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback!! There is a hidden timer represented by the day/night cycle, maybe not stressful enough haha!
