Ram Road Racer by ThaRemo
Heya, this was my first ludum dare. I'll appreciate any feedback but don't be too harsh :)
Ram Road Racer is a simple racing game with the goal to hit as many cars as possible, while avoiding spikes on the road. It's a little easy at first, but it gets harder the longer you play. I only used the theme "Two button controls".
If I had more time, I would have created some more fitting music and added local highscores.
Time spent: Almost 20 hours
Engine: Unity
Music: Fruity Loops
Sound effects: Bfxr
Art: Paint.net

Very little things I think you could improve easily:
-the explosion sounds are too present
-the grass should be higher
-the car could move a bit faster (sideways) so it would be more exiting.
its just a little too difficult and repetitive for a game
+ The atmosphere is great!
+ The graphic style is perfect for this sort of a game
+ There is some nice lighting stuff going on
+ Gameplay is challenging but not too difficult
+ Nice sounds & music :)
- The music loop isn't seamless
Unfortunately, there's nothing stopping spikes from spawning RIGHT in front of a car, making them impossible to avoid and forcing the player to take damage.
Another issue is that fuel always stopped at 3 for me when I get a Game Over. Other than that this was pretty neat :D
I agree with others that making the side-to-side movement a bit faster would be a good improvement on this. Controller support would be nice too, but that's just gravy. Either way, I had a lot of fun with this!
