Ranked from 42 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 race itself is a countdown: 100 taxis start, one gets eliminated at every one of the 99 checkpoints, and the "cars remaining" counter ticks down live throughout the whole run, shaping every risk you take, since the further back you are, the faster you get to catch up.

Really fun game of risk vs reward! Great job!

Developer

Thank you so much, risk vs reward was one of my main goals !

Super simple concept, BUT I love the chaos and the panic while playing it. Good job. :D

One suggestion on the art side: make the other cars yellow and not green. The reason is, they blend in slightly when you compare them to the grass and trees. And yellow would make the red car stand out more! :)


Congrats on the entry! <3

Thank you Andrey for your feedback, I'm glad everyone seems to love the utter chaos and panic, that was the goal ! The cars are indeed a bit greenish, I'll try to improve colors and lightning, thank you for your support !

The game has a real simple concept that works really well ! :) It was a bit laggy at first and was sometime a bit hard to read, but it was very fun and definitely made me stressed a few times haha 

Developer

Thank you very much, I'm really happy to read the core idea is working ! Yes the HTML export made it quite laggy and I didn't have enough time to find proper optimisations. Thank you forr your support !

We had the same problems with our visual effects x) We have a black screen with a fade at first only to preload all our resources to prevent some strong freezes later down the line (since it's a rhythm game, lag was THE killer x) )

Really chaotic game, which was fun!

It wasn't as laggy as I expected which was nice, so well done on optimization.

Fun drifting and driving mechanics.

I loved that it was just completly chaos with all the cars being stacked on eachother bumping into everything.

My only suggestion would be to add some more indicators on where the direction of the next checkpoint would be.

Other than that, it was a fun game.

Well done! :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much for such a positive feedback, the complete chaos was the main goal of that prototype. It needs quite a lot of optimisation and yes a lot of people asked me for more indicators indeed, some parts of the track can be quite tricky at first.

Submitted(+1)

Theme interpret nicely! Unfortunately my browser struggled to handle the game at the start + a few stutters mid-game which caused some routing issues :’)

Developer

Yes sorry for the lag, it was quite tricky to optimize, I'll try my best for the next version !

Amazing quality on the game! It’s a breath of fresh air to see an idea which is not related to a time-based countdown. Also, the driving physics are fun and I was surprised to see that drifting was a part of the game which I also had fun with.

Developer

Thank you so much ! Yes, I was wondering if this countdown theme was some kind of trick, asking us to do not make a standard time limit

Submitted(+1)

Super fun and creative take on the theme! Racing against a sea of taxis creates such a thrilling, chaotic vibe. Love the driving physics and track design, even if the difficulty curve is pretty unforgiving. You’ve definitely got something special here - would love to see this expanded into a full multiplayer title after the jam!

Developer

Doing anything online or multiplayer is a difficulty gap but that's the goal. I'm glad you liked the idea ! I I'll continue to develop it !

Submitted(+1)

It looks like a swarm of bees—I’m like the fat bee with the stubby wings—but I really admire how you managed to balance so many game elements in such a short time. Keep refining it!

Developer

Thank you so much for your feedback ! I definitely will !

I really like this interpretation of countdown. Gameplay felt good and fun!

Developer

Thank you very much !

A very nice take on the theme and great controls. Cool to see a fellow taxi-themed entry!

Developer

Oh hello there fellow taxi driver! Thank you very much for your positive feedback, appreciate it !

Submitted(+1)

battle royale racing game. I think this is one of my favorite concepts this jam. Very creative. I think this could turn into something really cool.

Developer

Thank you so much ! I had the idea for quite a long time now and this "countdown" theme was a perfect opportunity to make a rough prototype. I will definitely continue to work on it !

Submitted(+1)

So many taxis! cool concept and fun controls!

Developer

Thank you so much for your feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Had a lot of fun drifting!

Developer

I'm glad you liked it ! The physics were a bit tricky to properly implement!

Submitted(+1)

This was a lot of fun. I didn't even come close to winning lol

Developer(+1)

Sorry about that, I was worry everyone would finish the game within 3 minutes and I made it too difficult!

Submitted

That makes a lot of sense, I just wasn't very good at it lol XD it was fun and you did great

Submitted(+1)

I enjoyed this thoroughly. When my mind while playing starts to strategize on how to win that is a good feeling.

In addition, when I start to think about the mechanics deeply, and what could enhance the experience overall you know you've got something special. This game has some serious potential.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much, I really want to continue developing it !

Dat tree at gate 57 man. You know the one. Great game with a cool concept, fun physics, and that music fits really well too. I ain't reaching the top 10 anytime soon though.

Developer

I know the one ! Sorry about that :D Thank you very much for your feedback

I find this game having some potential. A Fall Guys but cars with already fun & playable physics. GG

Developer

Thank you for your feedback, FallGuys was one of my many references (with Micro Machines v3 !)

Submitted(+1)

Great visuals! Traffic is absolutely crazy! So intense and thrilling. I’m trying my hardest to drive properly, but I lose my bearings straight after every turn.I wanna watch people stream this. It’s gotta be really entertaining.

😂

Developer

Thank you so much for your feedback ! Yes, I'd be so happy watching streamers trying to finish this first race. I made it a bit too challenging I suppose !

Submitted(+1)

Really creative idea! Love the gameplay as well. I had a lot of fun drifting through, although I only ended in 69th place haha. The taxis are toooo fasttt mann.

Developer

Thank you so much ! Yeah indeed I was maybe a bit harsh when I balanced the game, it even took 30 minutes for my friends to reach 20th place !
