I love the idea and the driving feels gooood. I'm really impressed about the mini-map, it works wonderfully. But please fix the sound! I wanted to play the game so badly with a banger playing in the background that I muted it and started singing along to make it even better xd It's a great game for only 72 hours, keep developing it further, you've got a nice base!
Thank you for the nice words! I'm very sad that the audio bugged out in my WebGL build and I wasn't able to finish it in time. I really put some time into finding a great track that would have elevated the whole experience. But I got the issue figured out now so I have an updated version with working audio and leaderboard system ready for when the jam period ends!
Awesome game! The controls felt so good I just started driving around just for fun before playing the actual game haha
I absolutely wasted some developing time because I drove around a few minutes each time I wanted to test anything, so I know the feeling!
funny game
the 3d models look so nice! the driving with the drifting was a little bit too hard to control for me xD
I‘d recommend to mostly avoid drifting except for U-turns and simply to release the gas a bit when driving around corners. But thank you for the nice words!
thank you, will try it out! :D very nice entry!
Nice looking city, fun driving physics!
For some reason, the music only works when the game doesn't (possibly it's my browser issue), but I got a grasp of it.
Well done!
No sadly the music thing isn't just an issue with your browser. Seems like WebGL can't handle all the AudioSources of all the cars driving around at the same time, but I wasn't able to figure out the source of this in time.
Wow! Awesome work. The 3D models are phenomenal. The gameplay reminds me of Crazy Taxi a bit but with a more physics based driving system (I mean that in a good way). Did you use a pathfinding algorithm for the mini map? Great work!
Thank you! Credit for the 3D models goes to Kay Lousberg. The mini map uses a simple A* pathfinding algorithm. It was pretty quick and easy to implement since the city is randomly generated on a grid. If you know the A* algorithm it's pretty quick to implement. Especially on a simple square grid with only 4 possible directions to move. If you don't know the algorithm I can highly learning about it as it can come in handy very often.![]()
Then I use bilinear filtering and some shader magic to make it look a bit more "round".
To display it as a mini map I simply draw the grid into a small texture where each pixel is one square in the grid. Like this
Sorry I got a bit carried away explaining everything, but maybe it's interesting for you or someone else.
Very cool, thank you for explaining. I'm relatively new to the world of programming, and don't know how to use many data structures beyond arrays, lists, and hashmaps, but I've been trying to experiment more with Linked Lists, Graphs, and Trees recently. I'm familiar with A* and I implemented it into a small top down fighting game I was working on, but I (sort of) cheated and used a Unity package to make it easy on myself. I think I need to experiment more with BFS and DFS before diving into the more complicated algos. Really cool though. Nice work, once again.
wow, too good for 72 hours.
please consider rating my game.
Very fun and juicefull!
This game reminds me of an old Simpsons ps2 game that i used to love! Really like to drive around the city, good job for the whole game!
I felt hype while driving around. The speed acceleration is a bit over for me. But in general its fun!
This game fn rules. Procedural city and driving mechanics are both super impressive. Love doing donuts and laying down some rubber.

My ears are bleeding. The car is on ice. The architect who designed this city belongs behind bars.

Fun game! Those ambulances had it coming, I'm sure.
feels really great to play. Tho my laptop is crying from the performance
Thank you! Tell your laptop I'm sorry.
The game feel is really good. Driving just felt fun!
I think the stuff on top could be worked on a bit more. For example, it might be a good idea to have some more ways of gaining time back. I don't think that it's entirely possible to get more than two deliveries as the game is right no!
Obviously with the time constraints and everything, there's some stuff you just don't have the time to do. But what you have here is very fun! With some more polish and mechanics, I think this can be great!
Keep it up!
Thank you very much! I have lots of ideas and might work on it a bit more in the future. I already have a build with some bug fixes ready to upload as soon as the jam period is over.
dont quite get the goal but i liked driving around cuz of the snappy controls
Was supposed to be a Get-Away driver game where you escape the police, but due to time constraints I had to settle for a taxi like game where you pick up stuff at one spot and bring it to another. Just follow the directions on the Minimap and drive into the pick up/delivery zone (green glowy cone), while avoiding other cars.
You made a car game but did not use the theme escape :), or am I missing?
Feels nice to drive around. Assets are ready assets okay but in the end looking good to me. Bravo!
The original idea was that you're a Get-Away driver during a bank robbery and you have to escape the police. But due to time constraints I didn't get the police chasing right in time and settled for a more taxi driver like experience to at least have somewhat of a gameplay loop with a highscore mechanic.
I like how the driving feels. Maybe you can add some police that chase you
Yeah police that chases you was something I absolutely wanted to add. But since I spontaneously joined the jam and also had other stuff planned (usually I try to clear up most of my weekend when I participate in a gamejam) I just didn't have the time.
It's understandable, great job anyway, with that little time the game came up very nice
love the crazy taxi experience :)
Add brakes pls
Good game! Perharps a better music and showing off the scores in a different way, but then again also the short time.
