A game about international cocaine smuggling, in glorious 4-bit color.
Instructions:
Follow the compass at top left to your checkpoints.
WASD/ZQSD/arrows to drive. LShift or Space for a speed boost. M to mute/unmute the music.
Built in Unity. Graphics in GIMP. Music in Garageband for iPad. Sound effects in as3sfxr.
Linux and Mac builds are untested at this time. Please let me know if there's any issues with them.
Update Aug 26, 7:15pm Eastern: Added a delay for the splash screens before accepting key presses, so you can't accidentally button mash your way past the win and lose screens.
I really like this game! First of the graphic style is perfect and the music is great, a mini-map would be useful (unless of course it's meant to be hard to find stuff) other than that great entry!
Nice game, the overall presentation was really nostalgic. I also think that a minimap would have been pretty useful, but it wasn't impossible to do well without one.
Wow! Thanks so much everybody, I didn't expect this to be this well received - I've never done a game jam or even published a game before.
pinion & Talvara: yeah, I regret not explaining what the compass is for in the instructions. It seemed obvious to me at the time but I realize it's not - maybe putting an "N" at the top of it would also have helped.
Satyre and Talvara: that's what the LShift/Space is for - you'll never ditch them at your normal speed but you can boost to get out of there (though your cash ticks down faster.)
I really enjoyed the graphical style of this game. I found the police/red jeeps a bit too hard in the later stages because they were so magnetic, and once they saw you there was no way to get away really. Some kind of "cop radar" would make this a little more forgiving I think. The music was great also. Nice work overall! :)
This is the highest rating I've given a game so far... perfectly executed in every way! I was not only transported to the world of international drug smugglers, but to the world of SVGA and soundblaster16 cards. Played it for ages. I feel like there could have been a tree or two in the "jungle" (I thought I started in the city!) and it seems unfair that the cops chase you even before you've picked up any drugs: I was just going for a casual drive through the jungle, after all!
Fantastic game, anyhoo. That tune will be in my head all day.

A minimap would have been a great idea - wish I had thought of it, but even if I had there probably wouldn't have been time.
Normally I would have more to say but my only real qualms were the siren sound and the half hour of my life that I will never get back!
Thanks for making my day.
when the cops(?) give chase I found it prettymuch impossible to shake them.
there´s certainly a game in there though!
Nice game.
So hard to avoid enemies >_<
