That - was - FUN!! It felt like I was back in the early Amiga years again. Am I wrong to believe that was an era you're quite familiar with? I mean, for a jam, the game is incredibly polished in the sense it feels like a game commercialy released when that computer was the best. The CRT effect is spot on, the cinematics, the sound effects, the music... god that was a blast. The car part was a bit hard but progressive enough to allow going a bit further each time, until success. And for the 2nd part: I didn't watch the movie, but I guess it's one of those italian "Escape From NY" & "Mad Max "rip-offs, and if it's somewhere near "1990: The Bronx Warriors" I can tell your game is spot-on about the cheesy characters and sceneries of those guilty pleasures. Best and funniest game I've played this far, bravo!

Thank you for the kind words :) Makes me want to do more games for people to enjoy!
And you are absolutely right, I got started with computers with the commodore 64, and was well into it during the AtariST/Amiga era. I love the general aesthetics of that time, and do put a lot of attention to the details there, so it is very nice to hear that it comes through in some form!
You got it spot on with The Bronx Warrior - 2019 is the same kind of cheesy italian action movie from the 80s.
And if you like this one, maybe you'd enjoy this other game I made as well: https://mattiasgustavsson.itch.io/extrication It is an adventure game, but inspired by the same era.
Thanks again :)
