Very serious, as much as a heart attack. It was really intense, but fun :)

Interesting and indeed very serious. I enjoyed the music as I was driving. I'm terrible at drifting overall but it felt nice to drive. Level design could improve as starting behind a car you can't see might not be the best idea and the idea of dodging cars is cool although you can dodge them easily by going into the sidewalk. Hopefully I did it in time so Mr. Business recovered, please let us know about his serious recovery

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yah I mentioned it in a couple other comments but you are all right about the start, I just forgot to remove it in the scramble. I knew you could use the sidewalks but I didn't realize it was as egregious as it was, I should have put more of the tree planter boxes there. Oh well live and learn, Thanks for the play though, and Mr. Business should be fine now that he has the most serious doctors in the city on his case

Pretty fun little game. The drifting feels nice, but it makes the driving more difficult so I was more inclined to just go in a straight line as much as I could (might be a skill issue tho, as I tend to be tragic at driving in games). Maybe having a score that takes into account both time and drifting could be a good idea, so it encourages the player to do the more difficult but more fun thing?

Developer

Thanks for the play! You make a good point about the drifting, although the goal was that the drifting would let you take the corners faster and give a speed boost, but I don't think I taught the player very well about that mechanic, but a score system isn't a bad idea for a way to do that.

I agree with other comments about starting behind a car that you can't see. Other than that, the controls are pretty good, with the drifting mechanic being a highlight. The music is appropriately intense. Best time I could get was 1:26, hopefully Mr. Business was okay.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I had never tried making a driving game, let alone a drift mechanic, so it was a blast to build! Yah the car in front of the ambulance should have been moved, but in the scramble It slipped off the list. Thanks for the play!

Quite a fun drifting game. I would recommend changing the first blue car in the game as the ambulance spawns directly behind it and so I could not see it and kept reloading the game to figure out why I was stuck - may have cost my patient their life. Very serious. Besides that hiccup it really is quite a fun game to play even if I am tremendously bad at it.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Yah, the original idea was to have the ambulance parallel parked, but the camera was at the wrong angle and in the scramble to finish I forgot to fix it. Thanks for your feedback though! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
