Really finnicky controls, but your art/sound team deserves all the love they get.

Timo Strating21 Apr 2020, 09:23

really nice looking game, The camera work is also very well done.

Okay, so this is definitely the best game I have played so far. It doesn't even look like a jam game. Looks like some serious game for 20 bucks on steam. The graphics are over the top quality and the physics are just flawless. Can't believe you managed to finish this in less than 72 hours. The only negative thing (I always try to find some to give good feedback) is the camera movement. When you are driving too fast, the camera is not keeping up with the car. But besides that, the game is flawless and fun.

If the Mad Max franchise had sex with heavy metal, this is what you'd end up with! Stunning visuals and amazing music and best of all, controller support.

10/10 would play again

Really great art, polished very well for 72 hours, great audio. Really great work! :D As far as criticism goes, the camera movement was a bit wonky, and the game did get a bit repetitive, but for 72 hours that is totally understandable, I'm just trying to give as much feedback as I can give!

Really fun to play for a little, art is real nice, and you even got a good intro! Great for a 72 hour game, if there was anything major to improve upon it would be the sound, throwing a little metal in would go great with the theme!

Visuals are awesome and nice feel to the game. Great submission!

monetai21 Apr 2020, 15:32

WHOUAH your UI and menu are awesome, really impressive !!
I played it solo so I will not give my opinion on gameplay, but it looked really fun, I'll put it aside to test it later in multiplayer!
(It's hard to have 3 people to play with when your country is under lockdown =p)

superpatchauthor21 Apr 2020, 15:42

Thank you!
We are experiencing the lockdown too so we had to use Parsec in order to play between us and it worked pretty good!

dfva21 Apr 2020, 16:42

Now this is fun :D Kind of remembered me of the old school Destruction Derby games on the PS1 :D

SplitPainter21 Apr 2020, 18:36

Looks like a published game. Nice work, guys.

toby-klauder21 Apr 2020, 18:37

art and sound was on point, gameplay was good as well with controls a little messy.

SkelleRoznik21 Apr 2020, 18:53

The art is fucking amazing. Sounds and music are awesome. But it feels like the car needs to be able to drift. Also you can run out of the camera and end up stuck in the wall. But this is my subjective opinion. Overall, the game is great. Well done!

Fearawl21 Apr 2020, 18:55

Awesome on all counts!

surfskater221 Apr 2020, 20:43

Really fun and awesome looking, I loved the graphic style. Congratulations!

Oneils21 Apr 2020, 22:00

Great mood and fun to play! I can´t sleep now, but I think that is fine!

kimkillaqueen21 Apr 2020, 22:53

Twisted Katamari :red_car: :chains: :red_circle:
There's so much here to talk about: the music, art, production, game feel, it's all hella rad :sunglasses:

I would like to try this even with the most basic of AI or even static enemies, I don't think I'd be able to convince 3 whole friends to use Parsec or Steam Remote Play for a LD game.

Mircea12322 Apr 2020, 15:20

So... I collect junk and grow boobs...

I think there should be at least some NSFW warning.

bdmaniak22 Apr 2020, 15:52

Really good, a multiplayer game to keep, congrats for coming up with this in 72h, that's insane!

Aj Jones23 Apr 2020, 06:59

This is incredibly well polished for a jam entry!
Visuals are fantastic, and the whole concept is executed really well!

mirck78223 Apr 2020, 07:45

This could seriously be a commercial game, it's already very polished, fantastic work!

Daniil Tcyvakin23 Apr 2020, 21:56

nice graphics and style, like in borderlands! I didn't get theme in this game, got stucked in up-right part of level. In my opinion, you should place camera little away from a car, I didn't see it sometimes
