Mobile in the Automobile

Very challenging, but very rewarding. I just completed the game on my 5th playthrough, I love how much better you get with each try - I can almost feel my multitasking skills evolving.

Soon I'll be ready to face the real roads & play mobile games! :tada: No but for real, it's amazing how well this demonstrates that putting focus on your phone for what feels like half a second can get you very far off the road, very quickly.

Feedback:
- Car is too slippery, it physically prevents you from speeding up even if your multitask-abilities could do it,
- Audio could be better,
- Slightly buggy (sometimes black screen after death, one time respawned far away from the world)
- Lamely detailed environment (not that I had much time to view it while playing),

Some cool features I'd love to see
- People walking out the street, so you'd have to break for them,
- Other traffic rules such as traffic lights,
- Someone calling you to give you driving instructions in a crossroads,
- And as always with games such as these, adding a timer will easily enable speedrunning

It's really fun! The handling of the car needs some work because it feels like driving on ice, but this is still a great game for a jam. By the way, did you know you have to review other games for yours to go higher on the review list? I came here because I found it under the "no ratings" category. Give it a try!

This is super creative, I love the graphics too! Really great job :)

Good job! Cool game!

I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.

I hope you continue with the project.

great idea and fitting into the theme, nice graphics and everything

good job :)

IK love the idea and graphics. Good job, so fun! Pls continue the project!

Can you see my game?https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/hype-time

No wonder I shouldn't drive & look at my phone :) definitely a good example of why you shouldn't! Great job!

Wow that's such a good idea!

Good luck, hope you get enough voted for a placement, and I hope my last minute vote helped you!

Found the game quite funny and enjoyable at the same time. Very creative idea and totally on par with the theme. Perhaps you can make a version in the city with AI drivers to make it even harder lol.

Dang, this was a lot of fun! This idea really does have a surprising amount of potential. I'm not sure what it is, and maybe it's just me, but I find this kind of multitasking surprisingly easy (while I can't play the piano two-handed for the life of me, so it's very interesting and I do wonder about the neuroscience behind it all!).

Unfortunately the car was just really, really difficult to control. It felt like every minuscule nudge in one direction or the other at anything above just a little bit of speed made the car spin uncontrollably and do a 180 so I ended up inching along reaaaally slowly as that was the only strategy I found that worked for me. ): I'd really love to play an updated version with modified car controls because the basic idea is great and the game is a lot of fun already!

The music at the title screen was actually a bit scary, haha. But I guess that fits the horror that awaits anybody who does truly think it a sound idea to play games while driving... Liked the main gameplay music too!

Great concept which really made me feel quite cool being able to do two things quite easily at the same time that could be even better with a bit of fine-tuning. Good work! C:

Nice game! I like the concept and it would have been so fun for me except for the fact that the car would turn all the way whenever I try to turn just a bit which made it impossible for me to play :(

But I think if you fix this little bug, you've got a very solid idea here. Congrats!
