My time was 2:21

Had a lot of time playing this. I wonder if you generated the city procedurally? Physics is fun! Nice sense of urgency, too. All those trees and other pushable objects made it feel like a big rich world, you even got some car AI in there.

Great music too, impressive that you had the time to both compose that and make the game. Did you make the baby crying sample, was that you or an actual baby? :)

Really fun and humorous game guys! :) The car physics feel great and are lot's of fun to drive around with. There was one instance where I drove over a woman and she fell through the floor though. Then I got stuck. :(

Fun game. I actually finished it which is unusual for me and game jam entries.

If you are continuing development I would suggest sectioning off the areas of the world. I found that the easiest way to play was to pretty much drive in a straight line and avoiding the roads.It made it far less of a challenge and no real risk of any kind of fail state.

Good physics and theme! The map had to many sharp edges that made the driving troublesome

So much fun! I do think the theme is a bit weak, but I don't care, because I had a blast

Incredibly fun and pretty! I was kinda expecting the car to accelerate itself, thanks to the "two buttons" theme, but you guys were merciful on us! ;)

Loved the art (I love low poly, hope it'll became as popular as pixel-art), and the music, wow! Really fun. "Hey little pregnant lady, what are you doing in the woods?!?", ahahah.


Jokes aside, the most difficult part is picking up women: they do not "snap" it when they should, and I found one on a roof, maybe you need to check where they spawn. I get the theme, but it's a little weak.

Aww lovely, you peeps <3 Graphics, gameplay, everything is polished and as it should be. Am I the only one who sees the sexism in having specifically only women being thrown around for fun? Women's bodies already ridiculed and thought of as disposable in every single part of the world (except maybe some of sweden?)

It made me cringe after I hit the first woman with my car, while carrying another one.

Why not patients of any gender? What's specifically funny about being fat and pregnant?

Sorry to spoil the mood! It really is great in every other way

Really fun little game; the car had just the right amount of feedback, & felt satisfying to bounce around the environment. Only one minor criticism: Sometimes it felt like the woman-collection mechanism didn't always work reliably, but otherwise excellent.

Cool game but I would like more traffic on the roads to make it more interesting

Fun game. A surprisingly expansive game area considering the time limit. Enjoyed the various physics effects, especially knocking trees out of the way. There's something satisfying about that considering how many video game trees in general tend to stop cars dead in their tracks. Great soundtrack too!

Really great entry! I loved the gameplay and the graphics, the game was quite funny. Overall, amazing entry! The only I didn't like, was my car flipped, and it got stuck upside down.

What a wonderfully broken world. I noticed that half of the other cars in-game did the same thing I did and said, "Screw this broken road system, knocking down trees is easier!" I had a preggers lady start on top of a roof, amusingly. Good Work!

Nice music and style, but I couldn't do anything useful to the pregnant women there

Excellently put together game. Everything fit together nicely - from the music to the gameplay.

One thing I think could be improved is the driving. It was rather frustrating to get to a lot of places as my wheels were so small it made getting on to an incline a challenge in and of itself.

Other than that, this was an amazing well-polished game. Great job!
