This is a fun one! I sat down to do work, decided to try this out first, and now have to bow out at 36,100 to do the work I actually sat down to do LOL
A fun, complete experience with a sense of humor and community!

- This hilarious homage to Van Damme, complete with its own fu**ing banger theme song, is challenging and tight and has plenty of potential. It hammers the theme artistically, narratively and mechanically and musically, and as such, is at present my favourite example of nailing the theme from four directions. I'd like to see it compatible with dual analogue sticks on controller, with smoother adjustments to make it feel mildly less frustrating to handle (though like QWOP, that is clearly part of the design and shouldn't be oversimplified). And I'd like a way to restart without having to use the bloody mouse to click. UI is clean, score system is immediately understandable and compelling, and the myriad upgrades are hilarious and compelling.

Move the two trucks with WASD and the arrows. Try to avoid obstacles!
You can find new skins and you can repair your trucks.
Good luck, have fun!

Thanks for playing :) We will definitely release the music after the voting time, stay tuned!
Dear Nijelous!
Thanks for playing and also for streaming, it's super valuable for us, devs!
Unfortunately there is a known bug in the game, which you just got right when you started. (The background doesn't load and the mini portrait stays there forever)
Would you mind telling us in what resolution were you playing? We are planning to continue developing the game and it's great to collect some additional info on the bugs.
Anyways, we are really glad you liked it, keep it up dude! :)

thanks for playing the game! we included in the GDD that the game considers itself a hot seat multiplayer game, so go for it, it works great that way!

the obstacles only affect the trucks health, we would not dare to mess with a spreading JCVD, but there are some repair buffs to pick up. thanks for playing our game!
the online leaderboard is legit, get on it and give it a try!
