Dude this is awesome! The intro set the stage perfectly and I love the retro style of it all. Super cool that you made so much work with only 4 colors. It felt very responsive and crunchy which is perfect for a simple game like this. Nice work!
This is a great game! The gameplay is really fun, and I really like the art style. Also, the opening cutscene is very well done. The camera movement gave it so much life and personality.
Really nice. Fits the theme well, easy to understand - had fun!
Thanks for playing and glad you had fun with it :D
Fun game. Well done on SFX and music
Thanks for playing!
Amazing little game! Very enjoyable!
Great art and the music fits the mood nicely. I was also impressed by the main menu! Very polished in all areas.
One of my favorites of the jam!
Thanks for playing and glad you enjoyed!!
Very simple and fun, the designs and art are endearing and very impressive. Good job to everyone involved.
Thank you for playing!! 😁
I won!
Perfect size for a game jam game really, short and sweet. Nice presentation throughout the game and the itch page. Excellent!
Thanks for playing! Originally the game was supposed to be longer, but we decided to spend more time in making it feel nice rather than building more levels 😁
the intro was funny :)
and i made it on the cruise :)
Yay! Thanks for playing 😁
nice intro that tells everything you need about the story, short simple and effective, the music suits, its a great experiencie but sadly really short
Thanks for playing! Yeah, it's very short at the moment. The original idea was to have multiple levels, but unfortunately, due to life we just didn't have time to do any more 😅.
Great game!
I really like the intro before the game, the frame with the rainbow and hearts for some reason reminded me of Isaac. In general, the cutscenes really break up the game, which is cool and I like it.
Thanks for playing! 😁
I relate to this game, it put a smile on my face. Don't call me, I'll be enjoying my cruise.
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I love this!! Really fun, really funny, really cool style. I like the art and I love the music.
The gameplay is enjoyable, albeit, without much replay-ability.
Not much to say, so many cute things in this and so many fun little details.
One single problem is the car hitbox, it should be shrunk vertically, to allow the player to run next to the cars. Otherwise, absolutely awesome game!
Thanks for playing!
I totally understand what you mean about the car hitbox size... It was something I wanted to change, but unfortunately with the way I setup the navigation region, it just never really happened. It's on my list of fixes should we update the game in future!
Really great game!! The art was very charming and the game really fun!
Thank you for playing! 😊
Very short but very fun !
Loved the intro animation. Big kuddos on that !
Thank you for playing! Yeah, the game is super short, but we had fun with the concept 😁
Pretty cool entry, had a lot of fun with this game!
Made me wish I could just run my way to a vacation right now. :)
Thanks for playing! I think many of us are feeling that right now 😅
Really fun game, the music is great and I loved the sense of humor. Fun mechanic too, I had to play it a second time to figure out how to properly make use of the boost, but once I did it was really good.
Thanks for playing! We were so happy to have found the music we did, really made the game feel so much better!
I love blasting through the cars :)
Could move the “Skip Intro” from the options into the main game and just hold click to skip.
The hit boxes are very unforgiving and I got stuck between the cars a lot :D
Thanks for playing, and for your feedback! :DD
intro reminded me a bit of apple jack (if you've ever played that). good theme implementation. good musical choices. gameplay simple and fun. nice work!
Thanks for playing! :D
love the colours, on my cruse now with a sore head form bumping it into so many cars, love the intro too
Thanks for playing, enjoy your vacation! ;D
i'm a HUGE SUCKER for office themed stuff, so you hit all the marks for me. gfx are awesome, music slays, gameplay is simple and fun and to the point. and the story is cute to boot. great work!
Thanks for playing and glad you enjoyed our little game! :D
