WARNING: Do not try out Ironman mode if you have trouble accepting defeat. It is recommended, that you first try to play without Ironman mode and then switch later.

Ironman mode as it is was the original version of the game, but I decided to include a less harsh version aswell. Your Ironman mode setting will be saved so there is no backing out by refreshing the browser (though I'm sure you will find a way to reset it ;))

You just got out after a long day of work.

Your significant other has cooked you a nice meal,

but you only got one minute to arrive at home in time.

Control the car with WASD/Arrow Keys.

IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE PLAYING THE WEBVERSION (STUTTERING/CONTROLS) PLEASE TRY THE DOWNLOAD!

The game was created with libgdx.

Sound effects created with bfxr.

One try is really hard :D Love it.

I somehow can't restart the game once I crashed

Damn this is hard. Took me a while to realize you can drive off the road.

Not (easily) playable on a small screen - can't see oncoming cars early enough. Had to force zoomout on the page.

Ironman mode is nice, but it means I can't play your game anymore.

Nice! Like the idea, really.

I like it. But it's really hard! Also it'd be nice if you could restart the game instantly after losing without going through all the menus again. Good job!

Only one try in something like this isn't really acceptable in my opinion, and the .jar download takes way for me to bother trying it again, and I have the best internet I can get in my region. If you improve the download speed or remove the only one try, tell me and I'll re-rate it.

I give up, driving into too many trees xD
I quite like the graphical style.

It's like a life simulator with cars!
Good!

Mhh, I shouldn't have had selected Iron Man mode :D
The game is quite interesting and the 3d effect is nice.
Well done :)

Nice game, but after crash I can't restart.
Tanner16 Dec 2013, 16:58
Oh wait, there is only one try :D
TheCzeauthor16 Dec 2013, 17:17
Just like in life, you won't get to try again in Ironman mode (though you could always download the standalone version and play again ;))

I could get it to load nicely on my android browser, but couldn't work out how to get a keyboard :). Will have to return on a desktop machine...

Very fun concept and gameplay, maybe the car is a bit too slidy but pretty fun

excellent work. all drivers should play this game before going out during the holiday season. "you arrived 14 seconds late. you enjoyed a nice, albeit _slightly_ cold dinner" - i endangered so many lives for a few precious seconds!

Road Rage simulator 2013. :D

I made the mistake of turning on Ironman mode...I never made it home. Haha, nicely done!
stromchin17 Dec 2013, 12:10

Pretty cool idea, and the music is not bad!

Here is an idea - traffic and trees on your way home? Just drive around the forest! (You can drive outside of the screen all the way to victory :-P)

caranha: Exactly what I found too!
This game is pretty cool...

RTFM is the word of the day, I played ironman and lost forever. One thing if you do a post LD version, would be fullscreen/scaling. The spacebar/arrows scroll the screen on smaller resolutions, meaning you gotta play @ 75% zoom, or face the wrath of the scrollbar.

very nice little game !
but sometimes the snow crushed my browser >.<
TheCzeauthor18 Dec 2013, 20:33
Yeah I know :-( I added many of the snoweffects late during development and had not enough time to optimize them properly for the browser. It's playing smoothly with the downloadable .jar, so you might want to try that instead!
FrozenCow18 Dec 2013, 23:18
You're evil! No dinner for me :'( Nice job on the theme though haha
van noctar28 Dec 2013, 15:02
Very frustrating to have just one try!! Great! Good job :D

Shame about only being able to play once - I did clear my browser cache and retry, but I crashed again and couldn't be bothered with that process another time, there's just no fun in it. Otherwise good game I guess (not that I was allowed to see a lot of it!!)

So if you move enough to the side, you can actually avoid hitting everything, which I don't think is intentional.

Otherwise, quite fun, very challenging!
