Love the combination of tank controls with the main character driving an actual vehicle, makes the clunkiness of tank controls that much more terrifying as you try to pull a blind drift to escape a pursuing enemy urinal lol. I also love the use of the fixed camera angles along with the one off jump scares, like the swinging arms or face in front of the next camera transition. This is something I need to work on incorporating myself. Fun game and execution.

It all stemmed from a couple buds having fun brainstorming jam ideas, this concept was created, and the rest of the game struggled and clawed its way to life. It was an arduous crunch, but we had a great time making it.
Personally, during planning I thought that leaning into the absurdity and esoteric elements of the concept might create a scary experience, also knew it might just come across as goofy and perplexing, bouncing people off.
We had our references, inspiration, and rough outline but mostly just made it up as we went, hence the confusing execution. Regardless, we made this game to have fun and practice aspects of game dev we wanted to improve on.
Thank you so much for the review and the shoutout in your steam group, really appreciate the kind words!
Hey there! Yeah, I think I can sorta get what you were going for, maybe a little like Little Nightmares - that sorta warped fever dream tone. Sorry it didn't work for me, but I can definitely see it finding an audience (and looking at the comments, it did!). Yeahhh - game jams are great for focussing on small parts of game dev upping your skills - like I say, it did look VERY polished! All the best!
