- 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.

Tell us about your game!
Your goal is to make Jean-Claude Van Damme spread his legs on the trucks as wide as possible, so you can get the highest score on the online leaderboard.
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!
Did you remember to include your Game Design Document?

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!
congrats! that's a very decent score, you're the 24th best Heels on Fire player on the planet!
thanks for playing our game, also to highlight the community gathered around this game, it's such a great experience for us
One of the funniest in the jam and also one of the most creative implementation of the theme. Music is to good to be free I wanna buy the ost lol. Art is fantastic skins are fantastic perfect game.
Thanks for playing :) We will definitely release the music after the voting time, stay tuned!
I am terrible at this game, I have no coordination, yet I REALLY wanna just play this all day and get as high a score as I can.
Great take on the theme, was really fun, absolutely no notes great job guys!
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! :)
best idea for the theme by a mile :D
hell yeah, thanks!
"He's spreadiiiiiiiiiing"
What a fun game you got here! Congratulations to the team behind it.
Thank you very much!:)
🎶...like there is no tomorroooooow... 🎶
Absolutely love the old school arcade style and vibe. I liked to imagine that the trucks are being driven by Jack Burton and Lincoln Hawk. The blue one is definitely the Pork Chop Express.
Its no surprise that you like rhythm games cause you got some musical talent, such a funny idea and concept and a great execution all around.
Nice job!
thank you, so glad the arcade vibe we aimed for worked and you had a blast with our game!
What an awesome game! Loved the art and music and your interpretation of the game jam theme was very creative! Well done!
thanks for playing our game and the kind words!
Very creative interpretation! I had a good laugh playing this.
cheers! in our experience most jam games are played for one or two runs max so we aimed to go for a fun little game we can finish and somewhat polish in two weeks. very glad you had fun with it!
The music and voice over work is hilarious. I'm terrible at this game. But serious clever idea. Early arcade vibes from this one. The art style looks great! Well done.
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it! :)
Seriously funny! Who doesn't love a game featuring "Muscles from Brussels". And the music! Nice one!
legends says he plays the game with his feet on two keyboards
Really liked it! Got to 21k, the trucks can take a decent amount of hits. Love the details with the close up portrait that pops up.
Wish there was a quicker replay button.
21K is massive! Nice job!:)
Fair enough, the whole replay screen logic came to existence around half an hour before deadline... :D
Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it!
Cheers
And btw I really love that intro picture that you also use as an avatar!
Such a good take on the theme! I'm terrible at it, but that's not the game's fault. Well done 👍
I'm also terrible at it, good to know that we are not alone! :D
Super well made and polished game, and very unique take on the prompt!!
thanks for playing the game, glad you found it polished
The music is amazing! The gameplay was fun. The UI was incredibly readable. The gameplay itself seemed intentionally difficult and I just want to keep playing it. Great submission!
thanks for giving it a try, glad you had fun with it. see you on the leaderboard soon!
The art is perfect for this game, the music is perfect for this game, and the implementation is one of the best I have seen this jam. It is just a silly jam game, but I hope in the future I will be able to create a game that feels like it is what it was trying to be so perfectly.
The game is hard. I just don't have the hand coordination for this.
thank you for your kind words! It means a lot :)
THE MUSIC! Can't stop singing now lol Very clever use of the jam's theme, this is hillarious. Got 3rd in leaderboards after playing for a while. Great job guys <3
woow, great job! after reaching that highscore to get into 3rd on the leaderboard I'm not surprised the theme stuck with you haha. thanks for playing our game!
Wow that was hilarious and fun at the same time. Couldn't stop laughing through the whole thing, which made it really hard to control both truck hehe.
Congrats on your game!
cheers! really glad you had fun with it, that was our main objective
Such a fun game and concept but my brain can not handle two trucks at a time. Would be a great couch co-op game, getting frustrated with your partner when they get too far away or crash into you. I didn't get far but I was smiling the whole time. Great job to all of you!
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!
Wow guys, great game!
Music is annoyingly catchy, driving two trucks at the same time is challenging enough to make it hard but still fun.
Nice touch putting the tutorial as the page background image :D
KILLER concept. Absolutely hilarious. The dynamic music was a great touch as well. And if the online leaderboard is legit, that's also a fun feature.
It didn't look like running into obstacles affected my spread meter, but I guess there's sort of a hidden health bar or something? I thought I could just rock my epic spread forever, but my trucks started flashing (sfw) after a while and the harsh realities of a life on the road hit me all at once.
I rate it Timecop out of a possible Bloodsport.
Take care <3
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!
Oh I must've been so early to try the game then. After my run I was like, "there's no way I'm actually top 5. It must be a spoofed leaderboard," lol.
That's rad yo. Good stuff!
