Car jump by Samuli Salonen
What would go wrong when a car is equipped with a rocket engine?
The fuel could run out and that would be bad.
Car jump is a quite interesting experiment where you can set up your engines to make you car fly as far as possible.
The goal is to get the best score possible, you will get some bonus points from flips and collisions with the boxes.
It's our first time doing LD and we had a blast doing this "game", physics are honestly just terrible but it's a feature that makes the game harder. :)

Congratulations!
In my case camera was behind the bars and i can't see car clearly.
Is there an option to rotate camera when placing engines?
@aircraft-terrier Thanks for the feedback, i was planning to serialize the engines but the physics took way too much time and by the end it still didn't work as well as planned :D.
@hairaz Yea it's my first time experimenting with unity physics and it kinda shows here :D.
@royoyo There's a tip saying that you can rotate the camera with scrollbutton held down :).
But i think you should remove wooden wall behind the car - it closes the view
did you fly out of the game area? :D
Also, I would opt-out from Humor and Mood category, as your game is niether moody nor humorous :P
I had trouble with the physics and car control to the point where i almost quit,
it's somehow working now so i guess that's a win.
Now that i think of it,
we probably should've done 2D, since it's 1 less dimension to worry about,
or option 2 would be not include physics in the game at all. :)
I would have liked to see some targets up in the air, like rings or stars, to go for. Crashing into boxes is a bit too trivial, once you do manage to clear the ramp that is.
Not a bad idea and only partially dreadful excecution. I'd call that a pretty good first jam.
