I'm really tired and Dan will change this later*, but HAVE A SEAT AND TAKE A RIDE on this junk-collecting journey. Collect 20 junk and deliver it to the middle of the map to win. Excuse me? What's that? ONLINE MULTIPLAYER???? Invisible hands place you into matches with random strangers, friends, or no-one because most likely the rooms will be empty. That being said...We set up a Discord if you wanted to meet someone to play against/with. In theory there could be 20 concurrent players!? Give it a shot, try the Discord, maybe we can crash the servers together!

You get a random vehicle every time you enter a match. The van and car handle pretty differently, so make sure you try both!

Have fun!

A pretty fine online game, with possibility playing alone. But I don't like car physics. A car feels to light.

@spacey3d - thanks for playing. yes that is the last major bug that we didn't have time to squash. Hope to squash it tonight!

@artyom-volkov thanks for trying it out! yes, car physics still wonky - working off the Unity Standard Assets vehicle, going to try tuning it more tonight.

I like the games music and graphics. The game idea is simple and pretty fun. The controls is not very good. But overall is this a pretty good jam game.

Nice game, I really like how the graphics and audio style play off each other. I had a minor issue with the forward and backward controls where if I was moving backwards the forward control wouldn't work. I had to use the boost to be able to make the car move forward again. Cool entry into the Game Jam, nice work!

I dig it! I enjoyed the graphics and the music was top notch. Kind of reminds me of the Motorcross/Monster Truck Madness era when I got my first 3DFX card. Very ambitious to offer multiplayer too although I was playing alone this time. The controls leave a bit to be desired (I experienced the same issue @projectaroid did) but I had fun playing. Nice submission!

Funny little game :smiley:

The car is hard to control (may be because I used the boost too much :laughing:)
Little idea: it would be nice to also have drift feature

I really enjoyed the musics too :slight_smile:

Great job making something multiplayer! Truly a surprise for a jam game. I really think this has the potential to be an in browser wider multiplayer game if you want to continue working on it. I really enjoyed moving around the map, the car at times was very fun to boost around with.
If you want some suggestions: I would make the car turn a little more and have a braking system. And as other people mentioned being able to drift would be amazing!
If you want to go beyond that, maybe make a way for the cars to destroy each other in order to steal peoples collected junk!
Great job! I really enjoyed playing it, it doesn't need to be multiplayer to be fun, which is great design!

I enjoyed the music and general atmosphere. I was a bit surprised that I could just ride through each cactus and not collide with it. I did manage to get stuck on top of the hill few times. I also experienced a bug when my car suddenly turned to face me and pressing both w and s made it ride towards me, not away from me - impossible to control and only fixable by restarting.

Overall, a nice jam game, if a bit buggy :smile: And I was very happy to be in matches with nobody as I do not like multiplayer games :tongue:
