Best game of the jam i've played so far. Downright terrifying. I love the concept. Very well done.

The music is soooo cooool. Really cool game but I think you should add a finish line at the end of each level!

Cool game! nice controls. The sounds when a level is completed annoy a little bit and the hand would be scarier with soime nice sfx. Cool!

Hey ! You made a really nice game ! I really enjoyed the feeling of the car (with the character controller and the audio). I find the cops really funny by doing some insane drifts to try to hit you.

Maybe the take on the theme would have been a bit more interesting if the "explosion gauge" was bigger and if it kept the same values between the levels ?

Overall, the game is really fun, and the graphics are really neat ! Good Job !

This is great! Responsive controls and nice aesthetics. I really loved how each stage added a new enemy. I beat the game and it was fun. Great submission!

too high and at the same time to slow movement controls. handbreak is just useless, or i didn't understand how to use it. Big hand is really fast, I didn't get this level :D Collision with helicopters looks really weird)

The feeling of the car is a bit difficult to control at this speed, but the overall feeling is fun, especially the cops rushing towards you like madmen (GTA style).
Congrats

This game is quite fun actually, i liked crashing thing into explosion. Nice work on the audio too.

Very funny the cops in full kamikaze mode.

Yoooooo the music is dope! And I love the concept. The driving took a while to get used to, I think the controls need to be tweaked further to get it feeling perfect. Also few bugs here and there like I crashed and it said level complete hehe. But yeah this is real cool. I think the splatter effect could be smaller actually as it didn't do much but obscure the screen also might help to have a minimap or make the camera a little ahead of where the car is going rather than lagging behind so we can see the upcoming corners easier. And the music could have been a little louder rather than the engine noise being the most prominent thing (some volume setting in the menu would fix this easily). I wish there was more content like a full animated 3d demon hand chasing me while destroying the map behind it + fiery explosions and other such chaos with pumping DnB in the background. plz make this game!

Thank you guys for the feedback, they are invaluable!
We are currently working on the game to improve some dynamics, its almost done, we will release it soon, after some polish, so stay tuned! :thumbsup:

Cool game, very fun.
I'm not so sure about the premise of this game... Why are cop cars chasing ME when there's literal demons roaming around freely? Are they possessed or something
Audio and visuals were great, only thing that annoyed me was the music restarting every time a level was loaded. It's annoying to repeatedly hear the first 20 seconds of 5 minute long tracks, so fix that and you're golden!

Really liked the feeling of controlling the car on this one. Would be interesting to introduce "victims" (e.g. original GTA and Carmageddon's pedestrians) as a mechanism for speed boosts or repairs. Also more varied scenery would be good (e.g. buildings), but overall a great entry to ld46.

Those controls were really great. Things got pretty crazy after first two levels and that hand was TOUGH. I finally beat it by cutting across the field near the two curves. Really well done.

Drifting felt really awesome and being able to fling the AI into a wall was super satisfying. The hand was a very sudden ramp up in difficulty.

Hey, thanks for posting this game for my stream!

The driving and drifting was really fun. The music is great. All in all just a really cool entry. With more levels, objectives, and a bit more polish, I could see this as a fun steam game or so.
