CarD^2riving by Derek Brouwer

[raw]
made by Derek Brouwer for LD 41 (JAM)

This is a game that combines Racing, and CCGs.

You draw cards randomly from a deck of cards, which reshuffles when empty.

You can choose to either left click the card to activate it which applies the move order, and gives your car some fuel.

or right click to burn the card. This puts more fuel in the tank, equal to amount displayed, to keep executing your last move order.

Some cards might be pure fuel. Either left or right click, it just adds specified fuel to tank.

Hope you enjoy this short game (demo), it was made by a team of 1 :)

The game cannot run because it's missing UnityPlayer.dll :(

Sorry about that oversight @nina! Should be working now... hopefully :)

Fun game :smile: At one point I ended up at a 45 degree angle and had to shuffle back and forth a bit to get back on track...

Interesting take on the theme. I particularly liked the dual use of the cards - it felt like it made it more tactical!

I like the style here, it would be nice to have more maps and maybe include a time limit? Other than that, cool idea and a nice clear implementation! I'd definitely play this with multiplayer racing!

I really liked the idea of it! But I found it reallllly hard to get the angle of the car right - almost unplayably so. I ended up downloading the game just incase it wasnt running right in browser version but had same issue, I would end up at some odd angle and no combination of cards would ever make me point straight again :( But I think it could actually be quite fun with a little tweaking to keep it "fair" as it were! :)

In html version you cannot maximize the game to play in good conditions, because some cards dont appear on the screen :(

The game works now. But the frame size on gamejolt is too small for the game (at least on chrome) I coudn't see half of the card on the left or the right of the screen. (not much of an issue)

The positive:

* This game is a cool concept
* I enjoyed the mechanic very well, it's satisfying to get slowly more and more experience on how to drive around

The less positive:

* I wish I could have rotate the camera sometimes
* No clear indication of where is the level end

Good work!

A super great idea, and a fun game to play. With some bug fixing, and a car instead of a box, this can be a really great game. Well done.

Great idea! Was a little confused about the cards and what they were doing (maybe just me not getting it). Seems like I also managed to make the car turn 45 degrees instead of 90 (bug?). Overall, great job and with a little more time put into it it could be an interesting game :)
