Keep your friend's plant alive by driving ambulance.

Your friend went away for a week and left you his plant to look after. However, it must be watered with a special mixture, which is expensive.




Fortunately, you have recently been working casual as an ambulance driver.

If you receive the right amount of jobs and complete them correctly, you should succeed.

It's a good game but you might need to make your own assets in the future to really add that wow factor. Good job!

I found it very difficult to control an ambulance. Graphics are beautiful and I got drunk! Good job

Really fun game, made me laugh a lot. Died every single time but entertained me a lot

I think the concept is fun.
I had a bad time driving the ambulance, you lose a lot of HP when you crash and when you want to manoeuver the movemement was kind of exaggerated.

Fun game! I'm mostly waiting for this phone to ring so I can crash another amubulance! :D
I don't really understand the link between the plant and the main gameplay but at least this is fun!

Issue : it looks like I can't water the plant :(

Hello, Person. There is no link to DL the game on Your page. It looks promising so i'll wait for it!

Funny game. Looks good and the idea is well thought out. Only criticism I would have is that the driving part is kind of hard to control. In the five times that I tried I couldn't get past halfway to the hospital. Nice work though!

​Great idea having an office in addition to actually drive the ambulace! Btw I relly like crashing into other cars haha! Good Luck with Ludum Dare

Fun interacting with the desk, and the fake computer screen is cool. Like that there were two gameplay modes. Couldn't beat the ambulance levels though, so maybe they should start easier.

I like the gameplay mix between the hectic driving and the mundane desk work. The graphics are also pretty great too, in particular when driving the ambulance. The driving controls could use some work, but overall good job.

Also I made the mistake of drinking one beer, don't drink one beer.

I like that office enviroment and the visuals are sick!
Also don't drink beer, it was a bad idea :D

This game kind of felt like a fever dream to me haha. At first i drank the beer and i couldnt continue playing like that at all, so i alt-f4'ed and restarted. Then i sort of understood that i needed to take care of this plant by watering it and BAM im thrown into a driving simulator with wacky physics. It might just be my fault but i don't understand whats happening in this game at all :( :(

Amazing ! cool game ! ;)

Pretty cool game. Here is some the video of me playing the game:


The driving was the fun part for me. I didn't really get the sitting in the office part, it was fun to get drunk though. The car felt a bit weird to drive as well. The gas was always on until you braked but you could have done it so that when you just stopped pressing forward the car would smoothly slow down like a real car.

But all in all really fun experience!

First interaction is watering the plant, and the game tells us to right click, but it was a left click, that frustrated me because I tried for 2 minutes.

The game has really good graphics but I was disappointed by the car controls. You can't effectively adapt your speed, when you want to brake, the car goes backward, and every single time I tried to turn it ended up with the car spinning. I couldn't drive the car more than 20 seconds straight.

I'm sure with some improvements it could be a really good game, so keep working on it !

Really interesting take on the theme, the driving is hard, even without being drunk, and I kinda like that the main goal is to keep the plant alive, not actually save some life with ambulance? :) Great job, liket is a lot!

It's the first game I saw in this jam in which you can get drunk

It looks like a dream. With a game within a game. Lack of consistency in coherence in design.
Wouldn't it make more sense trying to keep alive the patient inside the ambulance, ramming through the traffic to reach the hospital ?
And maybe give it "minigame" inside where you could have saved and keep the plant that one of the patient (or patients' parents) gave you to thanks for your work ?
Just a thought.

The graphics looks really good, the playability of the ambulance is really hard though. Maybe it's a feature :D

Thanks for your entry

AHaha this was epic, reminded me of playing Sam & Max from back in the 90's with the point-and-click desk and interactive elements. I wish the Ambulance had more health, drunk driving the bamberlamps along the pavement didn't last long before it was the forlorn horn of death.
Jaacob24 Apr 2020, 08:45
Well done - nice and funny, the graphics looks cool (even tho it's probably assets, right?). The music and SFX suits it well.
The driving controls could be a bit tighter, but I managed to keep the patients and the plant alive until April 33th - despite some other rather amusing bugs like flying cars and hotdog stands... :)

Solid, entertaining entry!

very fun game, i loved it

@jaacob Thanks for the feedback. I will fix this bug in post-jam version.

The visuals for this game is amazing and I especially love the office environment and how I could interact with some of the items on the table! The soundtrack also fits the game really well! The ambulance mode was a little too difficult for me though and I keep crashing the car.

However, I really enjoyed playing this game!

Graphics are lovely, and I like the little details like the pen, rubiks cube, and the fact you can get completely wasted from a single beer... but the controls and physics of the ambulance are horrible!

Fun game. I see a lot of complaints about the ambulance portion, and I also wasn't the best at driving it, but the secret *seems* to be just TAP the turning controls, otherwise you slide around like mad. Still, fun game, awesome graphics, and bonus points for the Rubik's cube actually doing something when you click it (look my profile picture lol)

Oh god.. can't believe this is made in 72h it's rock-solid, the controls, the graphic it' s stunning!

After 10 minutes of gameplay I got a bit dizzy, there are some bugs with collisions and I saw a flying car(I'm not crazy)

Jokes aside great and super funny entry, nice post-process effects usage, and SFX, outstanding job.

Though the control of the ambulance is difficult, I enjoyed the driving so much. (Does this guy have a driver's license? I doubt it.) Also it is nice that you can fiddle around with objects other than the watering can while the player is in the room. I love that the player can never finish the Rubik's cube. (And again, does this guy really have a license? Why do they drink beer before driving?)
