This is my first ludum dare, it did not go great but I built a game in 48 hours!!!

The goal of this game is to simulate a family road trip, where you are controlling all 3 family members and need to keep their moods up. But it is not super easy to stay happy while stuck in a car with family. Enjoy talking politics, choosing the route, and singing to your favourite tunes in this game.

Congrats on your first LD! I like the idea and how it ties with the theme, not a game you'd see very often. Better feedback for the various options and where you can click would've made it a bit easier to play!

Yeah, it's really not super easy task to keep that family happy!

Overall, the idea of the mechanics is good. You can expand it if you add animations, i.e. the car should move somewhere. Now, it's a bit boring to play after some time (to be honest).

It's pretty hard to play, but it's also hard to be on a road trip with family so that fits. I guess I was just confused on what to do, maybe make it a bit more streamlined and add some sound and it should be good. Good job on your first LD!

Congratulations for finishing Ludum Dare! I like the idea of the game and the challenge is interesting. I didn't manged to travel far with the familiy. I guess, if you polish the different parts a bit it will grown into a nice game.
