I spent the first day trying to make the driving engine, but it would always freak out and not work correctly, inspiring the idea to just run with the wonky physics with explosions. I ended up using the driving code from the Unity Car tutorial, which is available here: http://u3d.as/content/unity-technologies/car-tutorial/1qU
I included the source in the Windows and Mac downloads, uploading a source only download now.
I loved how goofy and crazy all the bonuses are! My only problem was if I managed to flip the car I would just explode and fly through the air forever, but resetting fixed that right up!
Whoa! This game is crazy! Hahahahaha. Really, it's pretty good. I like the whole "crazy driver" thing, it's funny and the stupid amount of bonuses in the screen makes this game even crazier. It reminds me of Katamari Damacy!
But there's things that need improvement: Some sounds would be nice. Really simple ones, that you can find for free on the internet would definitely make the game 200% more fun, a nice song would do the trick even. The graphics are okay, but then I'm reminded that this game was made in two days by one guy and then the graphics are pretty awesome. Also the land mine kind of breaks the game in a sense, but it's all good. That's what the reset button is for. I don't really see the theme much in it, but I suppose the Noby Noby Boy homage makes up for it.
No points for the goat, what is this?! Game is pretty hilarious, although you can get stuck upside down in a flipping loop quite easily. People were great!

Seriously though, it's quite a fun game and concept. It's kind of annoying you flip on your side quite easily. And when you do, you shoot through in the air getting a ton of bonuses. While it's fun that this happens, it's not that fun that it happens every ten seconds, so you should tweak it so you don't flip over THAT easy.
Wow, this is tons of fun to screw around in! Fits the theme in a way I didn't quite expect. Only complaint from me is that the graphics, even though intentionally simple, were just too simple. Also, becoming small and crashing into a car could send you through the ground of the world (http://puu.sh/1Csox). Otherwise, an excellent entry.
Actually, collisions are just buggy with large/small cars in general (http://puu.sh/1CsEq).

Hahaha, I was having some fun until I hit another car in a head-on collision and fell out of the world. Then it was an air bonus paradise.
Fun game. Simplistic graphics were fitting, it would be an altogether different experience with realistic graphics. The physics were a bit off (getting onto ramps is tricky!) but didn't take too much away from the experience.
Fun game. I like how the people continue to walk even when they're knocked over - very funny. Had some weird clipping issues but overall its a nice concept (definitely feeling the Noby Noby boy influence in the visuals)
The bonuses really made this game. It felt like a strange cross between Second Life and Toy Commander, which I didn't even know was possible. I was sad that even though there were bonuses for tailgating and even your car exploding, that there wasn't a single bonus for crashing into other cars. Fun game though!
This sounded like a good game, but I couldn't play it, it was REALLY buggy. I started driving and the my car started flying and spinning crazily... I'm sorry, it's just so buggy it's unplayable.
I enjoyed myself quite a bit. This isn't typical, I liked that there wasn't any goals, and I just had to figure things out myself. High on the fun factor.
Even after I "finished" everything (hit everything, made all the jumps etc.), I still wanted to keep driving around running over people and smashing things. Does that make me terrible? Something this simple shouldn't be this fun.
I left to go get soup for a minute and came back to find the car in a never-ending explosion loop in the middle of the sky. Probably a bug?

Did you make the driving-engine yourself or is that a plugin? (also remeber to upload the source, so the game counts :)

Fun game. The car got out of control really quickly. The second time I played it my car just spun in the air forever.

Good job man, and great game!

Great use of the theme! :D
I couldn't play for like 5 mn since the because of the car barel rolling
The explosions and all take a bit too long, I spent more time waiting flying controlless through the air then driving, but funny game
