Cute game, and I liked the little animated storytelling bits! Good job!

Submitted

i liked it!

Nice pixel art, the gameplay is also cool, great job! Only thing i would change is the spawn spots on the cars, they feel a little too random, maybe it would be better to spawn then in only a set 4 places for example, but other than that a really good game!

One of my first thoughts for the jam was something to do with rush hour so I'm glad someone did something with that! I think that fewer cars would be good, but good game overall!

Submitted

Great job!! Especially considering it was your first game and first attempt at pixel art and music for a game, you did really well. Good concept and fun to play. Kudos!

Submitted

Sweet, nice music! Gameplay was fantastic, nice implementation of driving controls.

Submitted

It's a very nice game and fits the theme very well! I enjoyed playing it!

Submitted

Awesome first game! The theme is on point.

I think that the cars get really hard to avoid at max speed. And it looks like the to win you can only have at most 1 short collision, so you're at the mercy of random car placements during your run.

Love the pixel art and the ending animation!

Nice submission!

Now that I tested this itch.io version, I think you're right. Although when I made it in unity I'm pretty sure you could take 3-4 hits and still make it on time. Maybe uploading it to itch.io changed the game somewhat? I think the up/down movement also got a bit slower than in unity.

I like the look of the game and the music is nice. I wish there was a little more space to maneuver your car.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I completely agree with your point. On the last day I was just kinda rushing to get it done so I didn't really do the finer adjustments.

Submitted

you made your first game in 3 days, that's quite a milestone bro!

i took months to publish my first game (skyterider) here on itch.io

but the controls isn't working for me

Submitted

The game was fun to play

Submitted

The game is pretty good and I had fun playing it. My only complaint is that the cars were often impossible to dodge due to rng. I think you should make the hitboxes just a bit smaller than the sprite itself. Other than that the game is solid.

Developer

Thanks for your suggestion I'll be sure to keep that in mind for next time.

I really like this game, it is tough, but fun.
