I liked the little pull back's face. Very cute. It's well put together and thought through, though I think this game could be improved by either removing the countdown between pulls (3, 2, 1) or giving a reward for starting the pullback as the countdown is ending (like a boost in mariokart)

Great work!

Had a lot of fun with this, and the visuals look really nice too. Did encounter a bug where halfway through the camera just descended slowly and I couldn't continue which was a bit disappointing, but besides that it was still really enjoyable overall.  Solid entry, nice work :D

Love the audio and visuals, wish I could go faster though and continously. Good lil game, great submission.

very good vibes from this, the visuals are so pretty! the car is cute too, i love his little expressions :)

also i did encounter the scariest bug of my life where he stared at me wide eyed while the camera slowly sunk further down and there was nothing i could do about it after accidentally failing the timer. will see that in my nightmares

Developer

Yeah, noticed that bug myself as well, but did not catch it before it was time to ship.

Thank you for playing!

Cool game!

It's very polished and has a cool aesthetic.

The game is fun, but I wish that the gameflow was a bit faster.

For instance, after moving the car, there is a long sequence that slows down the pace (distance update, battery display, then 3-2-1-pull). Despite that, I truely enjoyed the game.

Great job :)

Superb soundtrack and quite a chill experience, though it’s too much chill and not a lot of engagement. Can maybe add a steer mechanic somehow, so player has more agency during their play.

As of now it’s a bit slow for a car themed game.

The game is easy and quite fun! Reminds me of the car toys I used to own when I was a kid.

The first game I ever played in this game jam! Very cute style!

Great idea! I had fun playing it, although it feels a bit slow pacing for a car themed game. Of course it is a jam game, and for that it is awesome! It would be cool to play around with this concept for a bigger project! Congrats

Thank you for your feedback! It is definitely too slow. Usually you want to go fast with a car in a videogame.🙂

I love the theming of a wind up car. The gameplay was interesting though I started just relying on the face the car makes and not counting down which made it a little repetitive.

Developer

Thank you! Yeah, the face reveals the correct moment a bit too easily.

Interesting idea! The art is good, but it gets boring pretty fast, good game tho!

Developer

Thank you! It definitely gets boring fast. The game started originally as two player pull-back car game. Turns out pulling cars alone for such long time might not be that fun after all. :D
