The game is stupid. Couldn't stop laughing the moment Mark started playing. Still can't touch it for more than a few seconds without grinning all over my face. Even watching that GIF is enough…

This is pretty hilarious and the gameplay is awesome, good job! :D A few potential improvements could include: toning down the sound effects volume so that the music is more audible (or changing the music so it's more noticeable), improving the "rotate to get out of tight spots" mechanic (it was a bit too touchy, so I found myself spinning out of control often), and perhaps increase the field of view or decreasing speed somewhat so that the newspaper gun could be used to smack things out of the way so that you don't hit them, for an added challenge.
Overall, really well done!

ElfinI love the concept and almost everything about it.
Had a couple issues, though. The car really feels like it could control better. The turning radius is too wide and, just in general, it feels like you're driving around on ice. Also, it would be really nice to be able to fullscreen it. I kept clicking out of the game waaaay too often.

Metal MouthA lot of GTA-ish fun! Could use a minimap or something so you can see a little more, but otherwise great job!

In Space No-One Can Hear You JumpEverything about this game was fantastic. I couldn't stop laughing. I didn't even get out of the starting parking lot for like 2 minutes, but it was still hilarious. The calm music, the otherwise chaotic sound effects, the shotgun sound effects when you send out the paper itself. The value for damage done being shown underneath the tiny amount that you make in successful deliveries, its all perfect. 10/10, way too much fun for such a simple game.
thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
The "3D" is a super super easy trick to pull off, especially in Game Maker - I followed this guide: http://www.like100bears.com/writing/2d-3d-in-gamemaker-studio

Fun stress-relief game, kinda like how i played old GTA games! who needs brakes when you can just spam space and create a tornado car!

The Girl, Wisp, and a DreamI didn't even know I had to deliver papers the first time through. I thought I was supposed to mow people down.
Still had fun. Maybe have different levels - one where you do a slalom course, one where you have to kill as many people as possible in the time, one where you do trick shots.
Well done, very enjoyable.
thank you! glad you enjoyed it :)
that's an extremely good idea, I can't believe I didn't think of that! I spend *ages* trying to balance it and eventually ran out of time - because of how the physics work just increasing the turn speed or reducing velocity doesn't help - but once the jam is over I'll definitely extend it!.
You're right on the app thing, too!
Good concept, way too easy to get stuck though and spacebar doesn't help much. If the car moved a bit slower and the turning wasn't as dramatic it would be more fun.
