I've felt like this penguin which drives the truck is completely drunk :D
The car handling could have been more loose for my liking. It is nearly impossible to drift or even drive fast without spinning. Maybe that is by design taken how rickety ice-cream vans are, but it doesn't quite feel good to me. Braking and reversing are also under powered. It is annoying more than anything to brake, hit a box and get stuck for dozens of seconds trying to reverse out of the situation.
Another issue, which is worth looking into now that the jam is over, is performance. Granted my computer is old, but it can only manage 25-30 frames full HD at lowest quality setting. There are also odd hitches regardless of settings, when traveling from one area to another.
Quality work overall, good job!
- Good music
- Nice physics and skidding etc, but the acceleration / steering felt a little slow? Seems like it'd be great fun if everything was a little faster and more responsive
- Overall, nice job :)
Playing Crazy Taxi as a kid, I remember the complete lack of consequences for running innocent people over to be weird and it took me out of the game. Running over low poly penguins, on the other hand, is just plain funny.
Good luck!
