I found the controls a little uncomfortable (perhaps would have been better with left/right steering buttons), but once I got used to them I enjoyed this game. Really nice decision to use the SA map as the game world. I think with some love and care this could become something fun, so I'd definitely like to see more work done on this game!
Thanks. It did a while to get the controls right, but I had to stick with the Tank Scheme or I wouldn't have uploaded XD. I will add more options for controls in the updated version, which I release later in the year.
I really enjoyed the theming and use of the South African map as a playing field. A really good concept that I feel could be polished and beefed up with some new gameplay features to add some more interesting dynamics.
I think if you made this kinda an edu-game where you learn about the map and provinces with many landmarks thrown in, it could sell to schools! I have no sense of geography but games can make it surprisingly easy to learn a map.
That's really good idea. I was also considering to make it have access to Google Maps (or something similar) in order to generate roads and/or sites for the player to view. This could help people get to know their general area, as well as be a fun virtual driving experience.

Hey guys thanks for taking part.
Things I liked about the game.
Things I think could be improved.
All in all great work for the short time while also learning a new technology. I hope to see more from you guys moving forward.

That was a hoot. I appreciated the position "reset" when you drive into the ocean.
I will have to add more features and fix a lot of the bugs. Right now it is playable, but I still want to finish it at some point.

Google Maps integration would be pretty sick!
100%!
However, I want to first see how much I can improve on the current game before I reach for the Sun. XD
