How does your game represent "Slick"?
In "Road Hogs," you play as a SLICK 1950s-era greaser who must SLICKLY navigate his motorcycle through incoming traffic and occasional pitfalls on the road. That sounds rough! What could possibly be even worse than that?! How about not looking cool/SLICK?!
The motorcycle's fast movements will slowly cause the greaser's SLICKED back hair to get all messed up. As such, you need to collect green hair gel containers to keep his hair looking nice and SLICK!

Slick presentation!!
I really wish my greaser to nab the other greasers' motorcycles
It's not fair that they can drive on potholes
Thanks for playing! (I didn't have enough time to code proper logic for the bikers, but I'll be sure to fix it in a future update.)
You absolutely NAILED the NES feel. The UI, character design, hell even the box art/thumbnail. Absolutely amazing! I just wish the gameplay was slightly more engaging but it's really cool! Great work!
Thanks for the kind words! I had more gameplay mechanics in mind, but I didn't have as much time as I thought I would to implement them. I am planning a post-jam update to add more features and fix some issues.
Nostalgic retro vibes! Love the pixel-art, and of course my hog is powered by hair gel because this pompadour is gas. The parallaxing of the background is super slick. The simple control scheme and gameplay loop is refreshing. This is a charming game, and I would love to see it fleshed out with some more obstacles and scenery. Great work!
Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm currently working on an update to add more obstacles, moves, and quality of life features that were originally planned but were cut for time... ;D
The death sound almost killed me irl XD Really boppy little soundtrack and the visuals are neat. Instant nostalgia vibes :D
Thanks for playing! I'll definitely be fine-tuning the sound effect timings and volumes for a post-jam update.
Cool, simple, fun. This would have done numbers at the arcade.

Nice work! Very cool retro-style graphics. If anything the sound design could use some polish. Great job!
Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely be fine-tuning the sound effects after the game jam.
hahah, music was beautiful, but I wished to volume down a little bit. I really liked the game and played a while. Good concept beautifully applied, difficulty increase rate is good. The end game sound effect is a bit off.
I appreciate your feedback! Thanks for playing!
