Derpy is a chaotic demolition derby where players control miniature toy cars, battling in high-stakes collisions and using unique power-ups to be the last car standing.



When you were a child, your toy cars came to life in your imagination, each one a tiny creature with a mind of its own. They raced, crashed, and battled in epic duels on the playground of your mind. Today, they return, bringing back the thrill, the chaos, and the excitement of your childhood dreams. Welcome back to the world where your imagination runs wild, and your cars come to life once more!

==========================================

Controls


*W*, *A*, *S*, *D* - Move

*SPACE* - Use Powerup

*ESC* - Main menu

Damage is based on how fast you are moving

==========================================

* NOTE: *

The volume might get cut out on the html version. If you want to try the full experience with better sound, download the windows build

No idea what was going on but it was funny lol

@rsheepdv Glad to hear you liked it :). Can I help you understand it better?

Very good game, I don't see much relation to the theme, but the mechanics and gameplay seem great to me.
KilloFox8 Oct 2024, 01:28
@facundo-santos Thanks for playing it! The theme relation is that the the player is a child imagining his cars coming to life and knocking them together. If you look closely they even have some cute eyes :)
KilloFox8 Oct 2024, 01:29
@julesleech Haha yes they're very exited to see you wreck stuff :) Glad you liked it!

It's a very fun game, but I noticed a lot of sound, graphical, and physical bugs
merdeboi8 Oct 2024, 11:29
Graphically it's great, car physics are okay and it's a good take on the theme to imagine the cars as small toy cars in an arena in the room. It is a bit confusing however on destroying other cars, which are, can ram them into walls or hope they hit the red barrels. Fun entry overall.

I didn't quite understand what the game was about, there was too much things going on at the same time. I wasn't told what to do plus the can on your right bottom corner was undiscovered of its usage.

Great game! Looks fun from the first glance. The theme with the miniature cars is awesome. The car's designs are terrific. Keep it up!
SMielke8 Oct 2024, 11:32
The idea of using matchbox cars for the theme 'tiny creatures' is pure genius—I never would have thought of it! You brought such a creative twist to the theme, and it’s so well executed. The sound dropouts I encountered here and there didn’t take away from the charm at all; after all, a few bugs are all part of the game jam magic! :) Fantastic work!
KilloFox8 Oct 2024, 11:44
@smielke Thanks a lot! We wanted to make a car game so we had to work harder to make it fit the theme :)

The downloadable version shouldn't have audio problems.

This was pretty fun, I really love the set-up of all the cars on the shelf and the zooming into the area on the floor.

Would be great to see this with some proper time spent on it to iron out the issues - definitely could see this being a cross between Flatout - Ultimate Carnage and some of the old Micro Machines games.

Flat-out especially for the time had some great visible damage and effects on cars ( wheels falling off, steering going wonky ) - so would be cool to see here, but with 'matchbox' car style, like the wheels just being held on with the single metal pin etc. :smile:
KilloFox8 Oct 2024, 11:51
@johnnysix Glad you liked it! We could definitely make the cars more toy-ish :)

Impressive amount of content for 72h, well done. Sadly the music was cut off sometimes, so I couldn't enjoy the game fully :(
KilloFox8 Oct 2024, 11:56
@momo-hunter Thanks! Was our first 4 people jam so we definitely did way more than usual.

The audio issues should go away on the downloaded version

i got troubles understanding how much health i had and how much damage i was doing but i was impressed with the quantity of gameplay proposed well done !
Gaalsien8 Oct 2024, 12:23
Exellent game! But it didn't quite clear how damaging works and when it works... However, really cute graphics!

Love the destruction derby and the variety of car models! Just wished the render would be a bit more polished with wider shadow distance and Ambient Lighting to enhance all of this!

Nice & energetic game with trampolines moving up-down)
Like the conception of toy cars, where you can choose what you want to drive.
Impressive destruction mechanic!

Thanks for the feedback guys

@danoka, @gaalsien - the damage is calculated based on the car speed at the time of an impact
Kirass8 Oct 2024, 17:45
I really liked this game! It's awesome!

This is very well made. I can't believe you managed to do so many cars in such a small time. The menu screen is very clever to tie it into the theme
Alex18 Oct 2024, 17:55
Nice game, enjoyed playing it! However, there was not enough of feedback for the player
perro8 Oct 2024, 17:56
This game really stood out to me for its visuals and gameplay that the developers offered. Really excellent game. Well done!

Great game! I just wish it was a bit faster and the damage were clearer 🙏

Loved that you planned a different power-up for every single car! (But couldn't figure out how do effectively deal damage to others...)
