Hello everyone, the game we made is called Walkietalkie Runnie. The main gameplay is escaping from the police under your partner’s guidance.
When we saw the competition theme — 'Signal' — we thought about using sound to transmit signals. Combined with some videos of police chasing fugitives in cars, we settled on this gameplay.
It’s worth mentioning that our first idea was to command the police to surround the fugitive, but we felt that wasn't exciting enough. So we switched to playing as the fugitive — and that turned out to be the right call. Tuning the channel, listening to instructions, and driving to escape all at once is quite challenging and pretty intense.
You might have noticed the word 'listen' — yes, you need to turn on your sound to play, because the partner’s instructions are actually voiced by our programmer himself.
Once you enter the game, you'll notice that one channel on the walkie-talkie has a voice. Tune to that channel — you can use the number keys 1, 2, 3, or click with your mouse. Then the game begins. Then you need to control your character — get close to the car, press the spacebar to get in, and then you're off, driving all the way. The game uses WASD controls: W and S control up and down (forward and reverse), A and D are for reversing and accelerating, and the F key is for a handbrake.
The rules are simple: don't let the police catch you, don't crash into anything, and listen to the walkie-talkie to choose the correct intersection — the one without police blocking it.
When choosing a direction, you don't need to worry about positioning. Just hold down the movement key for the direction you want.
We hope you have fun playing our game!
