It's year 2137.

A mysterious virus wipes almost entire population of the planet *Vatican13*.

When everybody thought that all hope was gone, scientists working for the papacy discovered a cure. You, as the pope John Paul CCII, have to deliver it to Wold Health Organization on planet *TU-154*.

But be careful.

Anarcho-primitivists of the future sent a hitman machine, *Ale Akca 2.0*, that will try to bring you down (with artificial fog and huge electromagnets).

Deliver the cure and save the world or let it die (if you wish - suicide is always an option in catholic church after ecumenical council in 2077).

Very fun :)

Very neat game! Loved the graphics, but at times it was a bit hard to control. Kind of reminds me of Podracers in StarWars!

I appreciate the effort put into the physics engine and mechanics! The game is not very forgiving though, and frustrated me more than anything else. I think sticking to the jumping, or the pillars, but having both ended up just being way too hard to manage from the start.

Funny premise! I kinda wanted to see the hitman machine, but my progress meter never budged about 0%, so I wasn't sure if I was making any. I died many times at first because it wasn't sufficiently clear to me that the speed was a throttle - I assumed I had to hold forward to go forward. I just set the throttle to 15% so I could clear jumps and left it there and that was better.

I like games like this causal but hard.This was fun to play over and over again ...really nice job.

I did get annoyed about having to click the restart button and then moving my hands back to the keyboard to control the popemobile, it would be nice to quickly restart the game by just tapping space on the menu.

overall niiiiiiice

i had trouble with the controls but when i discovered the >>> jump

many thanks for the feedback guys! @spooky hitman machine is yet to be implemented unfortunately :(

Really dig the graphics and music, although I didn't love the controls, felt kinda floaty too. It really reminds me of some game I played, like, 10 years ago, so nostalgic in a way haha. Congrats, nice project

Cool godot 3d game!

The shading on the cubes could do with ambient light to make it clearer where the edges are, at the start it looked like a checkerboard pattern.

Difficulty curve is a bit sharp, would be good to have easier (straighter lines) at the beginning.

Music is goooooood.

The pope vechicle model looks fantastic. Particle effects are great too.

Just played! very nice! Probably I will tweet about this in the next day on this page https://twitter.com/Free_IndieGames !

very nice music and graphics ! Il foud it a little bit hard to controll but that is surely beacause I'm bad :)
Overall very good work !

SnowyCocoon22 Apr 2020, 10:27

@bongooo that whould be great :heart_eyes:

I love this type of game, and it was really challenging. But I think it's a little bit too slipery, kinda feel like you're not in control. But I'm sure that it could be solved with a few tweaks. Great job on the music!

Taldius22 Apr 2020, 13:34

Nice looking game i love the color choice. But the physic of the ship is quite hard to master. Also the level generation can sometime make really hard levels from the start. Anyway, good job! :thumbsup:

The game looks very cool but it is very hard for me to control. I'd love to be able to fly the ship at max speed but it seems that the game favours being careful instead

MicroChasm22 Apr 2020, 15:39

I really like the art style, and I had a good time once I got used to the controls. Others have mentioned, but you really need to be careful and use both forward and back to control your speed.
This wouldn't be an issue, but I think that the two jet engines and nice particles communicate to the player that this is a game where you go fast all the time. Something interesting to think about-- what the visuals tell the player about how they are supposed to act.
Either way, I did enjoy it, well done!

Quite enjoyed playing your game, gives me some real race the sun vibes. The only complaint I have is its sometimes a little to hard to tell if you're too low and will crash into the platform. I felt like I sometimes died before the ship model was actually below the edge of the blocks.

CarlOfAllTrades23 Apr 2020, 07:38

Really hard to control in my humble opinion! I cant play :sob:
The graphics looks cool and i love the music!

Daniil Tcyvakin27 Apr 2020, 21:59

weird controls.. i press right, he goes left.. cool idea, need more polish

Acdia1 May 2020, 17:13

Really fun game! Incredible hard but very adictive. Maybe a easier part at the beginning, the rest is nice and for my taste polished enough. And maybe a groundcheck for the jump. While it makes it more difficult I think it would be senseful. But yes, lots of fun.
