DEMON TRUCK WILL SCRIBE FOR YOU THESE FIRST OF 666 TRUTHS:

1) YOU WILL MASH THE LEFT SIDE OF YOUR KEYBOARD TO CHARGE RAMFULLY

2) YOU WILL MASH THE RIGHT SIDE OF YOUR KEYBOARD TO SHOOT YOUR HELLGUNS

3) DEMON TRUCK WILL NAVIGATE THE ROAD. DO NOT BACKSEAT DRIVE.

I lost about 12 hours due to a power outage, so this is not a complete game. There's no win condition and no way to die, but does end after a brief period. I wrapped it up so that you could have a good time for a few minutes, and I could maintain my commitment to the spirit of the Ludum Dare.

cool, very funny game, well done

This has such a great feel, really kinetic, funny and badass. Unfinished you say? Shots, flamethrowers, rockets, it's pretty darn fun regardless.

Great use of the theme, and excellent ramp up near the end! Became really hectic, awesome, and a lot of fun! Also, Game Over sound effect was a great cherry on top.

Great way to tackle the theme. Fun game, enjoyed it

I had fun ramming and shoosting.
Maybe you could also expand on demon truck's backstory. Why does he ram? Why does he shoot?
Perhaps there's a bit of demon truck inside each of us.

I liked this a lot. Reminded me of Mad Max. Liked the controls and the escalating weapons. Would make a good mobile game if you decide to continue it.

Good game! I liked your implementation of the 2-button theme, with each weapon also replenishing the other one; I think it needs some balancing for it was easy to deplet both bars and it was a bit frustrating to have no way to attack when it happened. Nice graphics and sound, too, though I missed some music in there (probably some good ol' rock 'n roll!). A pity you couldn't put some winning/losing conditions in there, I had some fun with the mechanics for sure.

V8, shiny and chrome. Great humor elements in there too. I will play again, Witness me!

I enjoyed the game, quite fun. I think even with the loss of time, this was a pretty awesome game! Loved the audio and sound, made it for me - and great examples of unobtrusive sound that adds to the game.
