Good job :thumbsup:
Wow, I must take a few deep breaths after finishing this! :D
Ok, so this was easily the best game I played so far when testing. Things I would have liked to change:
During tutorial, have the player shoot something to get next textbox, i had no time to read (very hard to read font, looked cool though) while trying to stay on the road.
The music got repetitive quite fast, so it was very good that you had a variation of the theme while playing the game.
But man, I'm amazed at this game, you did something amazing here!
My only (other) complain would be that some times the texts in the tutorial and game were too fast or combined with some ongoing action and I missed some of the messages ^^U
Edit: Here's the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1810045623?t=01h48m15s
I love that you really made the story the backdrop to be sure but wholeheartedly took the approach of "yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm just here to go fast and go BRRR BRRR BRRR with my gatling gun, let's get it"
While I loved the tutorial it felt it went to fast to read at times. Maybe having a keypress to go to the next section could be helpful.
Thank you for making this!
