Ranked from 8 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
The mechanism to move the truck is rotating the joystick in a loop, kinda the main thing. Loop around the city and keep collecting rings in a loop.

Really nice idea. The car handles GTA 4 style, which is a positive thing imo. Wish the level was more varied, but I’m curious what you will create next!

Very nice game. I spend some time driving around the town.

I was wondering if you will ever add the gamepad control compatibility and a top speed leaderboard- I think it will destroy a few:)

Also, I think it will increase the challenge if you add a few parked cars or/and pedestrians, if you hit a car or a pedestrian to receive a time penalty.

Ahahha, dude, you're a genius. It made me laugh so hard when I realised what the twist is. I spent some time rotating it, went as fast as 8.5😎

Nice lmao

Hand got tired after 2 score :). Was not entirely sure how the timer system worked after picking items up, sometimes it went up and sometimes it went down. 

Procedural/city generation was nice, wish there were more camera options to be able to see it. Powerups to assist with movement (maybe something that starts to automate the joystick rotation speed a little bit) would be nice to help reduce the difficulty of the mechanic. Nice work!

Lmao the timer thing i added towards the end and didn't have enough time to test it. City generation was not procedural lol i just placed the buildings randomly and copy pasted a bunch of times 💀💀.
Might work on power-ups and procedural generation if i have time later on, thx for playing

Very fun game , the driving mechanism is kind of hard , apart from that the game has its own tone.

Glad you enjoyed it

Love the idea! Great city! The loop is a bit long, and wiggling the stick gets tyresome very quickly! Would be cool to see the goals give you power ups and a speed boost!

Developer

Thanks for playing! I'll try to add power-ups when I have free time
