It's a RCG while you can't brake, because you were hijacked.
You need to be careful not to run out of fuel, and not to stay too long.
Press "space" to jump, "A" and "D" to turn.
Just try to live longer,and perhaps you will find 3 keys.

So sorry for the hasty level design.

Hello! The game on itch.io seems to have no download button. Looking forward to playing!

Cool game! I like the premise. It's pretty challenging but feels fair! Good work :)

Really fun! My only gripe would be the kart glitching into the floor occasionally, but other than that, it's great

Thanks a lot for all comments!! I tried to fix WebGL error but failed, how pitty. The kart sometimes sticks into the floor perhaps for the reason of collision detection

Alrighty, played the windows version. Worked like a charm. Unity definitely did the heavy lifting here. I liked that I actually had to worry about crashing and that I would have to restart if I got stuck. Because it made me so much more cautious about where I drove while exploring. The cart sound I swear is from like N64 MarioKart.... Half expected a Mario "woohoo!" sound at some point.

The overall theme is only slightly there, the fun is decent, the mood is low, but the city layout was fun at least. Not my favorite game, but definitely worth a moniker of "Game" and definitely one that I bothered to finish. Thanks!

This is a fun game in terms of mechanics. There isn't too much to the gameplay, but what's here is nice. The strong steering does a great job at making any movement panicky. The lack of any audio hurts the atmosphere quite a bit, but it's luckily held up by the nice graphics and the fun steering.

I was going to put humor low, until I accidentally committed a crime.

I can explain, officer.

Nice game, overall.

Thanks@proxy-games,I would let officers to help maintain traffic,but time is not enough, so I just put the drunk officer on street. Glad you can find that :)

This was really fun! It's unfortunate how easy it is to get stuck(one of the keys seemed impossible to get because it was right next to an invisible wall?), otherwise I would have played more to see what else there was.

Interesting idea and good approach to the game, I really like the visuals of this game. I felt like it was a bit frustrating when you got stuck in a wall, since you are moving forwards at all times I understand this, but maybe having the car stop when the player is stuck for more than a few seconds, because if the player does get stuck then its almost an instant death for the player. All in all, I enjoy the look of this game, great work!

Fun to drive around and smash into things. I went back after and saw the officer, great stuff.

Nice game! I liked it! The graphics were good, and I like how much there was to the town! I did run into an invisible object and a couple of the issues that others have mentioned like glitching through the floor, but other than that I think you did a good job! Well done!

Also, I see you are having issues with the webgl version (understandable, I had the issue myself for my own game.) I found this video which mentions some more stuff you could do to fix the problem, if it might help (it includes what someone else here commented a link to as well as a couple other things) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlFimhxdA1Q

@eoshadows Help a lot! I built in WebGL again, and it plays well this time. Thanks for the video sharing!
I notice the invisible object and it's in fact a bug. Oh Forgive me :)

I have uploaded WebGL version to itch.io, the same link as the windows version. Thanks for your help!

On a side note, I think that you can now remove this link, now that the webgl is on itch :)

@mrpouletbzh Oh I used to think I couldn't edit it after the deadline, but then I realized I was wrong. Thanks for reminding me :)

@silkmeloni You can't edit the game, but removing a link won't be a problem as it is not modifying the game in itslef :)

Nice! Very nice for a game jam! I like the environment. I love the huge coke bottle hovering in the air, I wish I could drive or jump there. WebGL for me did work. I got stuck very often, in the floor and just getting close to obstacles. I got dizzy from the very direct movements, but just because I am tired, as I worked on my game until 2 am. I think I got all keys, went through the doors to the black hole ... and fell into the river. I played for quite a while, fun!

@itzemii Wow, You are excellent! I can't even get all keys without cheating. I didn't make a "success scene" because death is "inevitable",maybe the explaination is a little far-fetched. Anyhow, you win! thank you!

Really nice graphic and great tire sounds on the turns. Unfortunately, my cart glitching in the ground.

This was really fun. Thank you!

@oqfi Cart's gitching is really a serious problem, Sorry for that~

This was fun! A simple but quite engaging jam game.

It was fun to explore the city even though it took me a while to understand that I can actually drive somewhere else but dead straight.

Driving feels alright after a small practise. Controls have a slight delay to them though and I would like them to be a bit snappier.

But overall, very solid jam game!

My kart boom.真不错,想到科目二模拟时光了,有没有考虑再做点红绿灯和行人这种(
silkmeloni
silkmeloniauthor5 Apr 2022, 13:55
@helo1se 我在原型制作时尝试过行人,我打算给人物行走动画并在一段范围随机行走,被车撞后切换到布娃娃系统进行物理模拟。但是感觉行走有些僵硬,也比较耗性能,最关键的是需要比较长的时间来摆位置;红绿灯会是个好玩的机制。以后有空会改进的哈,good idea

@nash Helpful advice, I will try to improve my controller and game feel~
Maskrosen5 Apr 2022, 15:00
It was quite fun, the collisions could use some work, and maybe a little bit more interesting level design, but what is there already is an impressive amount of content for a weekend game jam. Good job! :)

Not bad. I wish there was a way to drive in reverse because I got stuck more than once, but the retry key worked well enough. I imagine a lot of the assets came from a Unity template or asset store package, but even if that's the case you still got a lot done. Nice work!
silkmeloni
silkmeloniauthor7 Apr 2022, 10:59
@noisemaker You're right! Honestly the diffuculty need to be adjusted. Maybe to make the cart elastic!

Nice controls. I felt that I could turn pretty easy. I did get stuck quite a few times and that ended my game. Driving animations with the jump was nice.

Gameplay was a little sparse but I can see the start of something here. City layout was also nice.

Nice game, it would probably be great on mobile with some tweaks. I got stuck in some places, though, and when I hit the restart option, the cart wasn't moving.

Hi! Nice take on the theme. It has some great mystery story potential :sunglasses:

I collected all three keys, and went down the path at the end, and crashed in the water! "Kart go boomed" . Not sure if there was any more after that? Fun little game, with a small city to put around in on the kart. With some platforms that bring you up onto roof tops if you time it right. Some fun game mechanics in place here.

There is an invisible object by the third key that was a bit annoying. I kept getting stuck there, having to restart. I had to just barely touch the key and stay on the sidewalk to not get stuck in that section of the city.

Driving around was satisfying. I got stuck in one of the platforms that move up and down, which made me chuckle.

Not sure if there was a way to "win".

@brainwavecreations Thank you for your patience! I am glad you accomplshed the game!
The invisible thing was my negligence.
For the customs clearance screen, I just made it mysterious。
If I have more time, I will show you a better congratulation scene.

Nice! At first I had a smiliar idea with downhill cycling or driving.

What I liked about "Brakeless":
* Nice city environment!
* Motivating search for the keys
* Nice city parallax background
* HTML5 Version

What could be improved:
* HTML5 version did not run performant, needed to download the game
* Lots of collision issues, even the smallest obstacle would stop the cart.
* Invisible collision
* After I finally had the 3 keys I only say a black sphere at the end and failed. No win condition?
* Restart does not work as the world does not reset properly (Keys would not unlock the gate)

Thank you for your entry! :)

This is a great looking game. I had issues easily getting stuck on objects but I still had fun exploring the world you built. Great work!
