Really fun game! I enjoyed the mechanics, quite smooth driving. I think it was a bit tricky, because the camera moved a lot faster than my car at times, and then the car would momentarily disappear from screen, and I had no idea where I was... Which resulted in a crash. xD

It's really fun! I like the wombly physics when you start making chains, at first it was a bit difficult but using the slow down key helps greatly! Good job!

Nice take on the theme! Was fun to create a chain of cars. Nice graphic and UI.

The game would benefit from a portrait mode and possibly slower camera movement at first, then ramp up later

Nice entry.

A couple thoughts/feedback:

I was going to say vertical screen might work better for this game, but then I played a couple runs and it seems swirling from side to side might be the best way to play given the how the game is right now.
Was also going to say this until I realize 1 above -> Not sure why the truck always end up at the top of the screen.
I try circling back, but the truck goes off screen on the bottom.
Maybe less obstacles in the beginning then ramp up the difficulty.
The basketball court smack right in the middle is kind of an overkill.

My best score:

Also, there is a bug somehow:

Lots of fun! Very polished, feels like a complete game for sure. I think the brake needs to be more responsive, and acceleration feels inconsistent (all of a sudden I'm going fast) which in turn makes the braking tough. I also think it would be helpful if it was more clear what obstacles are safe to hit and which ones arent (the benches in front of the statue tricked me!), and maybe indicate the water is an obstacle by making it flash yellow or something. Beyond this, it works great!

yeah a few mechanics need balancing but I’m glad you otherwise enjoyed the game, thanks for the feedback! :D

DayaSubmitted116 days ago(+1)

Good game, I would have enjoyed more if the truck slowed down after pressing down and it was at the bottom in the viewport rather than top.

Submitted

AlextheDevDeveloper115 days ago(+1)

yeah the truck doesn’t slow down enough, it could do with some balancing. Thanks for playing :)

Lovely game, I enjoyed it a lot. I love how you can keep grabbing cars and form a snake like connection. really nice mechanic. The music and the sounds was fitting great. Nice touch. Great Job!!!

Mirrors of the Ancients

AlextheDevDeveloper117 days ago

thanks, I’m glad you like it :D

snake was the main inspiration but I wanted to try make it my own semi-unique idea and theme :)

bugseidSubmitted118 days ago(+1)

Nice! Found myself trying to stay really slow since otherwise the truck will be so close to the top. Spent a lot of time restarting new runs lol

Submitted

AlextheDevDeveloper117 days ago

thank you, I tend to move like a snake back and forth across the screen slowly 😂

DysfuncGamesSubmitted118 days ago(+1)

Have the most fun with this one, some of the hit boxes are a little big, but really fun concept!
Found my self playing again and again - liked the extra mechanic of steering to slow you down a little and trying (and failing) to protect your chain.

One I will come back too!

Submitted

AlextheDevDeveloper118 days ago

thank you, I really appreciate the great feedback :) yeah some of the hitboxes was a little rushed in the end, I could do with going through them all and correcting some (when the jam is officially over)

Thanks for playing and I’m glad you enjoyed it!

I have a feeling the dev made this game to ragebait players lol. Jk jk. This is such a cool concept. The towing and crashing mechanics are so satisfying (until you crash yourself haha). And i noticed that the level is procedurally generated. Great job for a solo work! a 5/5 for me!

Fly To Your Heart

AlextheDevDeveloper118 days ago(+1)

no you would be right, I wanted the game to be slightly annoying with a hint of fun 😂 I’m glad you liked it thanks for playing :)

StoicGooseSubmitted119 days ago(+1)

Good idea and solid implementation. I never dared to speed up the truck.

Submitted

AlextheDevDeveloper118 days ago

every time I speed up I die 😂

AndesitchSubmitted119 days ago(+1)

Nice concept. Hard to control the tow truck. Tried to slow down but doesn't seem to help much. Polished game. Well done!

Submitted

AlextheDevDeveloper118 days ago
