Love the art style, and it fits the theme perfectly! Love the expression on the girls face lol, reminds me of the cutout of the girl in Men In Black when they have to do the shooting exercise at the beginning. 

Developer

Thanks for the kind words!! Glad that you liked it xDD

I liked how the game forced me to read every full sentence while being under the pressure of time, just scanning the whole msg didn't work sometimes and this was part of what makes the game a step ahead from "just a nice looking jam game".
For the art team you did a great job producing such a well polished game. I liked how each of them has his own persona.Maybe next time having the landmarks mentioned on the actual street will make the gameplay more fun and the player will need to focus more on the backgrounds that you already spent time working on.
For the developers, just make sure that no one is ever able to drive 4 passengers or yall know what kirby can do xD. I'd love to see an Egyptian version of this game but it was a wise choice to make it a generic version so that anyone can enjoy it (not too much that they drive 4+ passengers)

Developer(+1)

Ayyy!! Apologies for the long dialogues :p

Definitely will cap the maximum trips to 3 to make sure no one passes kirby xDD

taxi cab asking strangers for direction ? LOL GREAT GAME !!! 10/10 GREAT WORK GUYS !!!! (pro tip : always trust everyone)

Developer

Glad you like it!!! Pro tip: DON'T trust anyone xDD

I’m not sure I’d trust a taxi cab driver that needs to ask strangers for directions in the first place lol. I really liked the concept though, and the DOS point and click style fits it really well. I had a lot of fun deciding which directions to trust and which ones to ignore. Really cool idea, nice job!

Developer

Thank you, glad to hear you enjoyed your time. As for the cabbie, I think years of GPS reliance left him basically brain dead. Poor guy never stood a chance.

the passenger's trip note going straight onto the scratchpad and then a kid with a lollipop swearing the roof garden and canal lock are on the way, with the lollipop being grape and definitely not a clue, is such a good bit. the hand drawn taxi and characters look great

Developer

Thank you for the kind feedback<3 (That kid's always got a story to bring up)

I really liked the vibe of the game, my only complaint is that there is no tutorial, so I was pretty confused at first.

Great game overall though!

Developer

A tutorial would be a really good idea. Will try to add it after the jam is done! Thanks for your feedback:))

Pretty cool game. W Thumbnail and the game generally looks great. A lot of small minor polished details  that improve the visuals of the game as well.

Developer

Great that you like it!! <3

This is right on theme! I had to replay a few times to try and get higher on the leaderboard haha

Developer

Hope you enjoyed your way through it, I guess that's the spirit we need XD <3

Loved your characters! Also thought you did a great job lighting the game, and kept noticing all the extra little animation touches. Very nice!

Developer

Thanks for your kind feedback!! <

Very interesting game. At first I didn't understand what I had to do but after a while it got pretty easy, even if I did judge some people just based on appearences XD. I liked it a lot! Got 4th in the leaderboard.

Developer

Glad you liked it!!

Let's see if you can keep the 4th position forever xD
