Take your Fathers Jeep on a perilous Journey through Deserts & Canyons to find your great grandfathers treasure.
Whew! My first Ludum Dare since #LD24
I felt limited by my skill in Unity as I've only been using it for a week or two now. There's some very ghetto game play elements because of that.
I've opted out of the compo & Graphics category because I used some public domain textures and the vehicle is of course from the Unity asset store. I also ran out of time pursuing my own attempt at a 3D model which turned out to be a total abortion.
For the 2D map and letters I used GIMP.
For the music I used FL Studio and my trusty M-Audio Keystation 88es.
I love this! :) The gameplay is really creative and fits the theme really well, you managed to fit a story and instructions all on one screen. I am unfortunately not that great at driving :)
Very enjoyable game, controls got a bit clunky near the end, and it took me a while to figure out what the magnifying glass was for, but when I did find out, I was astonished at the amazing innovation of the idea. Too bad I couldn't rate based on innovation. However, still a great game.
Overall pretty interesting idea. I had a hard time controlling the vehicle, but I always have trouble with WASD movement. Nice graphics and theme! Very clever!
Loved the "zoom in" idea, and I feel like it really fit the theme perfectly (which is very tough given this theme). I felt like "space" should have been mapped to "flip the jeep", or maybe I just rolled it too much. :P
Would love to see this polished up and the concept extended upon!
Really original way to traverse a treasure map! A bit difficult to control the car across the river. Twitch is heavily influenced by crazy physics. I often pilot the car vertically, pretty fun to watch though:D Good game!
The best use of the theme that I'v seen so far. I ran into a couple of situations where the jeep stopped responding after I flipped it. AFAIK there is no restrictions to using public domain models and texture for the Jam, your art is great. Music fit perfectly. Welcome back :P
Good idea, it was challenging to follow the car and also to follow the correct path. Music is a bit repetitive, but add to the mood. Good concept for the theme.
Really neat entry! It suffers from what all the entries tend to suffer, which is repetitive sounds. Other than that, it's actually really neat. I love the concept, though the flip jeep button put me in a canyon wall, shot me out of it, and made me sink into the river.
You nailed the look of this game (the map, etc. are lovely), and I love the setup. The actual driving bit is maybe not so fun, but the concept is so novel I didn't really care. =)
Really cool idea, I understood what I had to do right away with little to no instruction, the truck flips a lot though the gameplay mechanic is stellar
Love the idea, good job using the theme. I had trouble crossing the water - it seemed like I was supposed to go between the rocks, but I just sank if I tried. I ended up make it across the first river by riding on the rocks, but this was too difficult on the lake.
The idea with the magnifying glass is really awesome!
The game would be even more awesome, if you could find a way to procedurally generate levels or provide more than one level. That would give it more replayability value, which would be great, since gameplay is really fun!
The physics could be improved a little bit, since the truck can sometimes drive on its side and made a huge jump one time, when i hit a wall ;) It would be great, if you made the "flip jeep" button more visible. When the truck was unmovable one time, I got pretty mad, when I noticed the button after reloading the game-page (played the web version) :D Well, in fact thats not your fault, I just didn't scroll down to look for such a button. Maybe you can make any profit out of this info ;)
The graphics look very nice and the music is really fitting. That made the game even more enjoyable!
Dang I got my truck stuck! Flipped it over once and was able to recover. Second time I really blew it and it got stuck forever, so I never made it to the end.
Very clever idea for the theme and a really nice feel to the presentation. Good job!
I am unfortunately not that great at driving :)
