Enter the ring of destruction and cause ultimate mayhem among poor abducted gnomes with your shapeshifting wheels powered grinding machine of doom. Compete with up to three other friends in four-player local multiplayer!

Terrain is shifted to random shape everytime when you go from menu to mission.

Smashing enemies is also shapeshifting.

The similarity with the previous Ludum Dare is purely coincidental.

This is a super fun game, too bad I don't have a partner to play with.
I love the steering by shapeshifting the wheels, very innovative. Good job!

hahahaha what an amazingly disturbing game - i love it. I assume the shapeshift theme was being able to control the size of the tires?

Once i got my speed up it was oddly satisfying.

A very good entry, well done!

Addicting and arcadey! Will try multiplayer when I get a chance. The sound could use a little work? Maybe, it's perfect. Great job!

Splitscreen roadkill simulator! :D It is funny that you go fater if you inflat both tires, thus turning is actually releasing one of the arrow keys. Nice game overall. :)

Nice entry! Too bad it didn't have soundtrack, still it's quite fun!

Hahah wow this was super fun. Short 'n sweet.
Real cool and nice feeling "driving" mechanic and the fact that you can change the size is just cool. A very intuitive way of steering. Great job!

Excellent game! Taken me a while to find out, that you need to collect oil.

Unfortunately I have no friends so I could only try the training mode, but I still had fun with it! I would love a way to go backwards though.

It only kind of fits the theme,but its amazing anyways.10/10 would IG agaiN.

Haha wow! Turning the thing by inflating the wheels: very inventive! Definitely got a Carmageddon vibe from this :) Nice work well done.

Bloddy hell, literally!
Awesome game, laughed hard from the beggining until the end.
SFX, graphics, gameplay, all perfect! Well done!

Very clever control scheme. Good concept and pretty decent implementation.

Interesting way of representing the movement on screen. Pretty fun too, though I'm sure it'd be better if I had a second person to play it with. Very well done.

Game is fun and very dynamic. Graphics and sounds are juicy, controls are very good.
There's only that little thing, it suits previous LD theme (two buttons control + growing) much better.

I liked the mechanics and how it follows the shapeshift theme. Everything else is too violent.
panurge20 Apr 2016, 18:45
Fun! I never did like gnomes anyway. :)

Really clever mechanic, smooth controls and lots of polish for the time limit. Good work!
Imperial Unit20 Apr 2016, 18:47
What a fun game. The shapeshifting wheel idea was great and the fact that the controls were so responsive made it even better.
Xanjos20 Apr 2016, 18:58
Ironically this actually fits the theme (or rather themes) of the last Ludum Dare more than this one but this was absolutely fun to play and pretty hilarious as well.

Hilarious game. I was laughing out loud from the start. Awesome steering/shifting mechanic. Great job.

It's one of the concepts that you grasp instantly. Blow up one wheel to make a turn, nice. I only played the solo mode and that was quite fun.

I think the concept could be expanded on and the main character is visually unique to make the game interesting to a wider audience if polished some more. I got a bit of that Carmageddon vibe.
Cerno_b20 Apr 2016, 21:52
Just read the comments, I swear I wrote mine before reading Big Cow's! What a coincidence. :)
LordKawaii20 Apr 2016, 23:24
Wow. This game reminds me of the old Carmagedon games! Definitely one of the best games I have played so far.
alsantour21 Apr 2016, 02:42
Great Concept, wish there was more to the single player side of it, i would def play!!
Khaoz_Fang21 Apr 2016, 07:51
This is a very fun game. The way of control is interesting. I love crush them with my wheels.

Looks similar so Carmaggedon. And it's always fun.
Also very interesting controls. Quite complete game.
Good job!

Hilarious game. Sandbox is pretty fun, kind of simplistic. Feels like training mode should be unlimited. Played with my partner and it didn't really feel like there was a good reason for a 2 player mode?

Still, quite polished, ran well in WebGL (I was getting about 30-40 fps on a GTX970), and definitely gave me a good laugh!
TeamScripta22 Apr 2016, 02:04
Sweet game! I quite enjoyed running over the ghosts!

WebGL version is a bit laggy, but that's alright. Visuals need a better theming. Concept is great though. Shift the size of the wheels to rotate around. Could be taken further with the wheels literally changing shape to something other than tires.
JonathanG30 Apr 2016, 16:44
Very playable and quite funny! The controls were fun and the (human?) squishing was very satisfying :)
Some visual glitching with the tyre tracks, and the screams get a bit annoying after a while (as in real life).
Overall a nice little arcade game. Could do with some music and variation to improve longevity.
