Heya, this was my first ludum dare. I'll appreciate any feedback but don't be too harsh :) Ram Road Racer is a simple racing game with the goal to hit as many cars as possible, while avoiding spikes on the road. It's a little easy at first, but it gets harder the longer you play. I only used the theme "Two button controls". If I had more time, I would have created some more fitting music and added local highscores.

Nice game! I always like this type of 2D/3Desque racers. it reminds me of outrun or road rash!
Very little things I think you could improve easily: -the explosion sounds are too present -the grass should be higher -the car could move a bit faster (sideways) so it would be more exiting.
cool racing game, i always wanted to do a pseudo3D racing game, here the mix between pseudo3D visuals and pixel art is really well made. its just a little too difficult and repetitive for a game
Overall pretty good, could use a faster side to side speed, and it seems the player hitbox doesn't quite match up with the sprite, making it possible to miss cars that you visually pass through
+ The atmosphere is great! + The graphic style is perfect for this sort of a game + There is some nice lighting stuff going on + Gameplay is challenging but not too difficult + Nice sounds & music :)
This had a surprising depth to it; When running low on fuel, I had to decide whether to risk the timing for getting just behind spikes to grab the fuel can, or wait and pray that another one would spawn shortly.
Unfortunately, there's nothing stopping spikes from spawning RIGHT in front of a car, making them impossible to avoid and forcing the player to take damage.
Another issue is that fuel always stopped at 3 for me when I get a Game Over. Other than that this was pretty neat :D
This game's a a lot of fun, and looks and sounds great. Good straight-forward execution of the theme.
I agree with others that making the side-to-side movement a bit faster would be a good improvement on this. Controller support would be nice too, but that's just gravy. Either way, I had a lot of fun with this!
I like the concept, and the sound work is good. My concerns are the cars blocking your view of spikes right behind them (leading to the player taking unavoidable hits), the car doesn't seem to move fast enough side to side to match the speed of objects on the road (making collecting and dodging more cumbersome), and fuel cans could probably give more than just 2 fuel per pickup, given how sparse they are.
