Ten-Second Taxi by schnerble
You are the taxi driver in a town full of incredibly impatient people. Everyone wants to get to their destination in under ten seconds, and will jump out of your taxi if you take too long!
Controls should be self-explanatory - just drive.
I ran out of time to do lots of things I wanted to do... but that's always the way!
This game was my first real attempt at using Emscripten to generate JavaScript (including WebGL) from C++. It mostly worked pretty well, but I guess C++ isn't the quickest thing to prototype in. Debugging OpenGL errors without a wi-fi Internet connection is pretty tricky too. With about four hours to go I still only had a car driving around an empty field... :) Luckily uploading via my (untethered) mobile phone worked OK! (Edit: fixed the Dropbox link. Whoops! It nearly worked OK)
Thanks as always to GreaseMonkey for Autotracker and DrPetter for SFXR.
Update: I've added a post-compo version with better steering, plus a couple of new features such as autoreverse. You can find both versions from the same link. (Apologies for the hurried basic intro page!)

I'm interested: what else would you change about the car controls? Faster turning? I may tune things a bit...
It was fun when I missed to deliver those poor travellers, great humor score :)
It would be great to be able to reverse the taxi ;)
Great work.
Nice job ;)
But this was frantic and fun. Nice job!
