Interesting idea! Controls and physics can be a bit wonky.

Simple, but yet a cool entry. Could be more polished and have a better difficulty ramping.

I love how persistent those cops are. They come at you no matter what its hilarious. Good work

just surviving those crazy cops pushing them out is fun, and the teamplay is great too nice work.

Haha... that was cool. Controls a bit wonky, hard to control, wasd + mouse would have been a better choice. But overall playable and nice attempt.

Phisycs are a bit laggy, nice concept.

The physics are really choppy/glitchy, but I enjoyed it for its silliness. I like the moped-driving hairdryer.

The best were the cops riding their cars on the side.

That's about as original as it gets hahaha. I tried playing alone but it was quite hard. WASD+Space would be much easier! Good game, man!

Really clever idea! I'm not sure who is more inept -- the engineer who made a bridge with no side walls, or the police who keep driving off the edge. =)

I got run off the road by an indestructible cop car on its roof. Ha!

Could use a little improvement on the driving physics and the control layout; I'm guessing arrows + space + mouse might work better for southpaws?

In the end, i fall because there are no roads.

Good game idea but gameplay needs to be polished.

It reminded me of the "Blues Brothers" movie…police car jumping everywhere…cool game…phisycs a little weird.

Cool idea with the hairdryer. The physics are a bit weird, and the controls are a bit wonky too. But overall good job!

Pretty hilarious to play, I love when the cars flip over.

Nice game, good graphics, but a little bit hard to control

Cool idea and definitely an unconventional weapon. :-)
The control layout is a bit difficult for one player - I guess WASD + space + mouse would work better.
The sound effects are not very nice to the ears.

Interesting concept, but the controls are jerky. Tighten up the controls, and add some variations to the gameplay to improve the game. Good start!

Enjoyed the co-op aspect, but the z-fighting is far too hard on the eyes.

Physics seem a bit wonky on the cars, make sure you're updating them correctly (are you using FixedUpdate?). Fun idea, I also enjoyed trying to play both by myself

Well.. It's fun :D Like, goat simulator style. I laughed when police cars started to arrive upside down, and then in packs stacked on top of each other. Sometimes it got frustrating if on got stuck to the truck though.

Neat idea. The models looked great, and was pretty fun to play. Good job!

An interesting game with a unique way to slow down the police. Fairly humorous when police cars flipped on their sides are trying to push you off the bridge.

wtf did i just play? the idea is interesting but the physics make it almost unplayable and that what make it fun.

Eventually all the cop cars started spawning and chasing us upside down. That was pretty great.

Cool idea! Pretty enjoyable too, although I would have liked a bit of moving forward and back and maybe regular traffic on the road ahead

An interesting idea, I found the controls to be a bit hard, maybe using 'a' and 'd' would help

OK, played with my kid, we had great fun! Was able to progress by pushing the enemies off the border, did not really have to use the concrete mechanic.

I'm having some trouble running the web and osx versions, anybody got a workaround?

Turns out the webplayer worked a treat! Just the WebGL and OSX versions I couldn't run.

I'm glad it did too, there is a surreal pleasure in this game that had me smiling throughout. I don't know if the glitchiness of the cars was intentional or not, but it made it the experience for me as every upside down car, car coming from on high, and synchronised barrel-rolls left me wondering what would happen next. The ever-present hairdryer made me buy into the absurd happenings on screen, and although I was playing solo, I had a good time trying to manage both.

Hilarious how some of the cops chase you on their side. Thought it helped add some character to the car chase.

It was very hard for me to play with these controls, I think allowing WASD as well as arrows would have solved it. The game was fun though! Funny and has a lot of charm. Good job!

this is a two player game but i was able to play alone - cops kept falling off the side - so it has some issues - good effort

Fun little game ad great use of the theme. Little difficult as a single player though, and the noises started to get a tad annoying.
