The game takes place following a snow storm so the roads are slick with ice patches and oil slicks. Also the design is pretty slick not gonna lie.

Fun! Good sense of speed, nice sounds, and I'm always a fan of visuals like these. I did find it a bit odd that obstacles spawn from thin air rather than on the horizon. If you decide to change things after the jam, you could also significantly decrease the amount of lives you have, and I think that would result in a fairly balanced difficulty. Production-wise I believe this is a solid improvement from Power Within, so nice work!

Thanks for playing and for the feedback! I’m definitely planning on doing adjustments post jam, specifically the spawning has been the sore point among everyone. I felt the same about it I just couldn’t figure out how to tweak it in time so it’s unfortunately what I had to settle with. I want to fix that for sure. The lives counter was hard to balance because some runs lives were a non-issue but other times I died so many times. I think I will be adjusting it though, adds some challenge. Thanks again!

I like it. For the first 10 minutes or so, it was pretty fun. However, after about five or six deliveries, I felt like I’d seen enough and didn’t really crave more. I understand it’s for the jam, so I’m not rating it based on replayability or addictiveness, but I still wanted to give some feedback.

For me, the game is missing a hook that would make me want to come back and try to beat my own record. I didn’t really feel the impact of the increasing difficulty throughout the run, it all felt pretty much the same the whole time, and I think that might be my biggest issue.

Personally, I would add more things to do on the road in the future, like collecting pickups or something similar, so there aren’t as many dull moments where you’re just driving and waiting for something to happen. This is just what I would do, but ultimately it depends on the kind of feel you want your game to have. The way it is now is perfectly valid.

Thanks for the feedback and thanks for playing! Yeah I admittedly wanted to add more but what I ended up with was pretty much towards the end. I didn't have enough time to add too many benefits without dull moments. One last minute benefit I added was the biggie bonus which helped the game a ton. I do also plan on improving the spawning since it is too close. Thanks again, I always appreciate constructive criticism :)

I really liked the slick pseudo-3D graphics! Combined with the cool retro-inspired music and sound effects, this game really reminded me of classic SNES and arcade titles, like F-Zero and Cruis'n USA.

If you decide to continue developing this project, I think it would be cool if the obstacles (cars, houses, billboards, oil slicks, etc.) spawned at the horizon line. I think it would really help with the illusion of a 3D environment.

Regardless, this was a really impressive game jam project! Great job all around! :)

I'm glad you got to play! The goal for future updates is to improve the spawning, since this was my first time with 3d anything it was tough to manage and unfortunately it was the best I could do in the timeframe. I do plan to update post jam!

Love the music and presentation. Cars were spawning so fast I didn’t have time to react. Fun game though.

Developer

Thanks for playing! Spawn rates will be adjusted post jam

Loving the visuals, very retro and slick ;) Gives a very nostalgic feel! Love how the feeling of driving at like 20mph feels like 180 XD Lovin’ the music too

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yeah I’m pretty happy with how this all turned out. I’m definitely gonna be updating in the future :)

Super slick driving game! The 2.5D visuals are great and the music is rockin! The curved sections of the roads are cool, I like that the brakes improve the turning on these sections and also can lock the speed at a desired amount. There are tradeoffs of going fast or slow, which is a cool design decision. After a certain point of accumulating time on the clock, the time limit was no longer a concern, and it was more important to conserve my cars. When I started going reeaally fast, around 50MPH, I didnt have the reaction time to dodge obstacles anymore, and I perished from the very same thing that brought me success as a pizza deliverer: my speed. But it was a slick and fun experience along the way!!

lol yeah going too fast makes objects spawn quicker haha. I’m glad you got to play and thanks for the kind words!

The gameplay, visuals, and music all went together super well! I know there are other games in this style, but it first reminded me of the kart racing from Everhood.

Like others have mentioned, I wish the spawn distance of obstacles was further since I didn't really feel encouraged to move or dodge them. I ended up just sitting just to the right of the center line the whole time since I could easily avoid a car by just going left and the slippery obstacles were a lot less punishing.

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yeah obstacles were def my weak point. Glad you were able to try it out!

This a really fun and nostalgic game. Well done!

Developer

Thanks so much for playing! I'll check out your game :)

I liked this a lot! I really wish the spawn distance was further out, because it adds too much luck into what is otherwise a really well-controlling, fun game.

Developer

Yeah unfortunately that is the common consensus. Glad you were able to play! I'll give your game a shot :)
