Love it! The feeling of speed is awesome! Why don't more car's have holes in the ground to stick your feet through?! Super fun! Raah!

The differents attacks are so fun, i'm in love with the tail attack and the stomp attack haha well done !

I love the attack animations! I like that you combined the limited space with a bullet-hell-like game. It felt good to stomp all those cars

It's a nice game, I like the style of the different attacks, although I don't think the front and rear attacks really work, as the tanks don't seem to take any damage and I haven't seen any enemies in front of me!

Fun game, really great presentation! My best score was 9301, though I couldn't seem to hit anything with the tail or forward laser attacks, so I might have been misunderstanding something.

@stevenjmiller @loiclegrosfrere Thanks for trying it out!!!! The back attack is used to parry the incoming shells from the tanks, and for the front attack, we didnt have enough time to flesh this one out, but it can still be used to destroy the incoming barriers from the right

@cronch Thanks for the response, I tried another run with this knowledge. I ended up stopping at a score of 206501 but I think I could've gone much further. I think having health be harder to regain as you continue or an increase in obstacles could keep thing fresh, but very fun regardless!

my favourite attack is smashing with the big foot :feet: Enjoyed playing. Hitting with the tail was a bit hard for those tanks. Loved the colours used in the art aswell.

This was possibly the most enjoyable Ludum Dare game I have played.

Awesome graphics, music, humor, just enough variety and perfect play cycle/difficulty ramping.

I especially liked the tail attack and the fact that you are a monster in a monster truck.
