Rush Hour! by Zachary Shah
Stuck in traffic? Late for work? In this simple yet quite challenging driving simulator, it will have you winding through obstacles trying to not get any road violations, because, the more you have of them, the worse it is. Make sure to stop at stop signs, avoid hitting cars, and still be on time for work. :red_car: THIS WAS MADE BY A 12 YEAR OLD.
Win by making it to the big green glowing checkpoint.
New Features: - fixed glitch of getting violations without doing anything - violations scatter around screen obstructing view - music added - arrow pointing to checkpoint
- THE QUICKER YOU GET TO WORK, THE MORE CHANCE OF A RAISE
- THE FASTER YOU DRIVE, THE MORE VIOLATIONS YOU GET
- THE MORE VIOLATIONS YOU HAVE, THE WORSE IT IS

I am really hurt to know that I am a bad driver. I manage to win round1 but didn't see where to go on round 2
I agree with @danvil. I prefer WebGL builds from Unity for LD, but also understand the concern about performance since most people judged my last two entries by the WebGL build which could not multi-thread the pathfinding which caused performance issues which many people mentioned. (These issues did not exist in the other builds.) However, when using an installer, I have to install, test, then uninstall. Please just provide the files as a .zip file to save all of these steps in the future.
Check out my Game if you wish!

* Great music, I wish there were more sound effects.
* All of the other cars were green, I want to see more colors! A brighter, more dynamic environment all around would go a long way. Take inspiration from Crazy Taxi, perhaps.
* I found that in order to get to the goal, I HAD to collect violations. That's by design I imagine, but I didn't know how many violations, or which ones would cause a Fail state.
* I really think there is something to this race against the clock being balanced by goal of not getting too many violations. A faster pace to the gameplay (occasionally interrupted by the hilariously slow traffic) might be cool.
* The humor was great. I loved the sarcasm and the violations getting in your way was a nice touch.
I hope this is developed futher!
Maybe the music is a little bit too short and too repetitive.
Graphics and gameplay are nice.
Your game clearly deserve more visibility. If you want help to export it to webgl so people would try it easily, contact me at arthur.ramolet@hotmail.fr. I'd be happy to help :).
I'm a bad driver, I guess? :smile:

These are features, not bug fixes that improve the game. The COMPO has ended, you are not allowed to add features to the game. You need to supply a version that is the same game as your entry but with bug fixes only. You can also add the updated version but for voting, in order to not cheat, you have to have the updated version separate and make that clear.

Also congrats on doing game dev so young, your last game you said you made when you were 12. This is my first LD and I'm 17 although ive been doing game dev since I was around 12 aswell It was not very serious.
I really enjoyed the graphics, and even the menu screen looked fantastic. Controls were a bit sensitive, but I'm guessing that was intentional. Nice work
