An Unconventional Weapon by hypp
An Unconventional Weapon
Background:
FACT: The worlds reserve of fossil fuels is depleting.
FACT: As you most likely have heard, fossil fuels consists of dead dinosaurs.
FACT: The only living relative to the dinosaurs are the birds.
CONCLUSION: Logically, to refill the reserve, you must kill as many birds as possible.
Instructions:
The exhausts from your car will make the birds sick so they fly lower.
When they fly low enough you can run over them with your car.
But if you go to fast you use up more of the worlds fuel reserve.
Use arrow keys to control the car.
--------------------------
This time I decided early on that I wanted to do an Outrun-style racing game,
using techniques from the 8-bit/16-bit era. So that is what I did,
there is no 3d in the game, just the illusion of 3d.
You need a fast computer and a fast browser.
* Tested on Windows with latest Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.
(Internet Explorer runs slooooow).
* Tested on OSX with latest Chrome and Safari.

I love the way you managed to capture the feeling of the wind blowing in your hair... only the coughing, the fumes and the bumpy road makes it a bit less glamorous. A bit. =D
Good work!
Cough cough :D
The idea is interesting and the programmer art is lovely.
I would critic that the gameplay is quite repetitive and the kill sound feels like someone is knoking on the door.
Anyway nice implementation on the old school racing games map.
