Spanner Fever by stanroy

[raw]
made by stanroy for Ludum Dare 49 (JAM)

untitled.png My first Ludum Dare game and also my first "completed" game jam game! The theme was Unstable.

I used Godot to make this game and had fun while making it. I made all of the 3d models myself using Blender.

The game is simple. Collect all of the spanners in a level within a time limit to avoid the engine becoming unstable and blowing up.

Controls: W/A/S/D - Driving F11/F - Fullscreen F8 - Exit game

I got a little motion sick on my 49 zoll monitor :smirk:

Nice car feeling

Woah the drifting is so natural, and the camera angle's so interesting. Did you use the built-in vehicle 3d node in godot? really fun game, and kindda challenging too. I made it to the end!

Superb car physics

Fun game! I like that the car control is unstable too, which match the theme quite well.
Also nice SFX, a lot of jam games have music but no SFX. Yours is the other way around. If you could add in some music, the game will feel much better.

I tried using built-in vehicle nodes, but couldn't set it up with my model. I decided to do the Sphere controller. So I embedded a RigidBody Sphere into car model and car model follows it and you actually control the Sphere :)

Nice game, the car controller and camera took a second to get used to but they were cool, and by the last level the only thing I would say about about the car controller is that when you reverse it should steer the opposite direction, the drift is fun though. I like the way sphere car controllers feel, did you use Kenney's one as a base? The jump at the end was a nice touch!
Also at one point my car got tipped up and when the engine exploded I flew off into the sky, that was pretty fun and I got the see the HDRI you used :D

@weirdybeardyman I said to myself that no one will be able to jump that high, so I didn't put the roof collider, but now I see I should've haha. Yes, I used a controller based off of Kenny's.

Really fun and simple game It felt super cool going through the hoop :) I like how the car had to repaid itself using the spanners and the controls were really nice and responsive great job :)

Nice arcadey feel this game has. Drifting was a lot of fun. Collecting spanners was a lot frustrating. Good job :)

The drifting mechanics and graphics feel good, but it was a bit too hard for me. Good job with the 3D models and the drift physics!

Nice game. Car controls, its model and sounds are fine.
Spanners collecting could have some sound effect, to give player additional feedback

I liked your game, simple in design yet effective. Drifting mechanics are quite good once you get the gang of it. cleared on second attempts.

I winlost! I can see you had some good fun in Godot making 3D models, experimenting with lights etc. Was definitely a bit tough with some slippery car effects.. felt more like I was controlling a ball than a car, but the sound was good, camera was interesting, and it had a good arcade feel. Thanks for submitting!

@ollieoa Let's call it a feature for now, a rare ending if you please hahah. Anyhow, I probably should've done more testing for those close call situations, but I was more focused on making the game actually playable (which I had trouble with). So thank you for playing and finding a bug! ^^

Loved the drift: quite hard to get at first but fun when you got the hang.
Fortunatly the car can reverse full speed or I culdn't beat the game

Great entry!

Pretty surprising how disorienting the camera can be, but it's also a little satisfying when your brain "clicks" and gets used to it.

Fun short game! Once you get used to the camera and controls, beating every level as fast as possible is super satisfying. God job!

Races are not my type, so this game was quire difficult for me
I ended on third level, with golden spanners
Nice modelling, love the style, simple and clean!
Very nice to see more godot projects =)

Uhh, this game is little hard for me, but really good) Like your work with 3D. Physics is great))
