Policeman from Mukhosransk by BloodJohn

[raw]
made by BloodJohn for LD 43 (JAM)

Mukhosransk is a proverbial name for a sleepy provincial town in Russia. However, no matter how sleepy it is, the local policeman always has calls to answer. Some days are more busy than others and when calls come from different parts of the town, the local cop has to decide which call looks more urgent and where to go first. It’s a stressful choice and sacrificing the rapidity of your response to some other case can have grave consequences. Don’t let the good people of Mukhosransk down!

This is an amazing entry. The different messages can be quite funny and it really is hard to get to all the locations in time.
The mood of the cold city is really amazing and the lack of soundtrack actually contributes to that.
I guess the only complaint I have is that I sometimes got stuck inside the snow, but I guess that's perfectly fine.
The game is super impressive, well done!

cool a 3D game. It looks pretty good, I agree with krylos about the soundtrack as well. I got 8 suspects and quit after they started repeating. My only problem is the theme, what are you sacrificing. The cases seem to go one after the other I never failed a case, maybe your idea was to have 2 cases at the same time?

I believe that risking life in the winter night at -20°C (-4°F) helping other people is already a sacrifice. The initial design suggested that there would be a choice between the two challenges. But after playing this choice - I refused in favor of one call at a time. P.S. Thanks for the great review. Next time I will try to be closer to LD theme.

Nice game, I really liked driving the car. I did however feel that the arrows to go a certain directly appeared too late. The driving was the fun part so I did not really like the fact that I had to turn around because I took a wrong turn. (maybe I was just driving too fast :smile:)

Very nice idea and the driving was quite fun. It also had a nice atmosphere. However, it was a bit frustrating trying to find where I had to go. Were the arrows pointing to the place I am supposed to go or to the other places where the people were talking about? It was a bit confusing.

I found it difficult to navigate to the next place, maybe i'm missing something but the arrows would appear then disappear.. however, the driving mechanics were really nice so i just drove around for a bit and enjoyed the snow :]

An ambitious idea for sure, I found it difficult to navigate as others said - the arrows seemd to move around a lot and I couldn't work out where I was supposed to be heading. I got stuck on a hill at one point as well. Good on you all for trying to do a full 3D game with car physics in such a short space of time! You've made a really good start, the driving mechanics and controls are fun.

Very nice 3d graphics. I had a problem with navigating the city (as others have already said) which in the end ment that I just navigated randomly and picked events to solve randomly. I also has problem reading the messages while driving but that might have been intentional and by design.
