made by CAT_IN_THE_DARK_WOOD for LD33 (JAM)

YoBA.
In that city the only asphalt road is a bike path. How could it be possible worse? But hey, it could! This only asphalt road is occupied by selfish ladys with baby carriages, who totally ignore road signs. But they can't ignore YOU, riding on bike with near-sound speed!

Try to complete bike cross as fast as you can, dodge ladys and conrtroll your pedaling by pressing Z and X in time!

# Controls:
Z, X - left \ right pedal
Left arrow, Right arrow - turn bike
Enter - switch intro, instructions etc
Esc - restart game

Engine: libgdx
Language: scala
Platform: Cross platform, required java runtime environment(jre). (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloa..)

# From Siberia with love.

It's nearly impossible to look at the screen and at the bar that tells you what input to enter, made that bar should be on the top so you could see it better?
The speed ramps up a bit too fast, it's really hard at the beginning.
Didn't really see the connection with the theme though.

Track reminded me a bit of top gear haha. Good job!

Not bad. Enjoyable even if it didn't follow the theme. The controls definitely took some getting use to.

Hard to look at the screen and the bar at the same time.

This game is great! I had to force myself to stop to be able to write this.

It's hard but you want to keep trying. Had me laughing out loud the whole time. The music is perfect and the graphics are smooth and very well drawn.

Damn those Mummies! Get out of my road!

Hard to play at the beginning but it's like bicycling ;)

This is one of my favorite game even if the theme doesn't match.

I didn't see the link the theme. Graphically it's interesting and the music is not bad too, but it is really too hard to play, I kept falling every 10 seconds until the end.

I feel like you could have had some sort of sound cue that would tell you when the bar hit one side of the meter, so you could hear that and bike accordingly. The best strategy imo is to get a lot of speed at the start of the level and then get to the end. Surprisingly nice music!

CONS: The lack of variety in enemy types is a little frustrating.

MISSED OPPORTUNITY: The game could have taken place on a motorcycle and be named Young Motorcyclist's Maternity Masher Adventure, or, as you'd acronym it, YoMoMMA.

interesting. But no link to the scene. Actually it's fun!

Took me a while to figure out how to get past the title screen (hit enter). Fun controls, ended up mostly just using one pedal since that was easier.

And lol at the face from Carmageddon :p

Man, I thought I'll be able to hit them somehow without falling! It's good though. It's fun to take sweet revenge.

This is hard to play but I can't hep but try anyways. It makes me happy that you wrote this in scala. It seems like such a neat language.

Interesting and fun.
Awesome that Scala as development language was used. I will surely look source codes

I like it, but it's a hardcore.

Dudes face looks like it is taken from the Carmageddon cover... or from "Come to daddy" music video .)

I think, somehow, the theme was followed in the game. As you can just go and run over moms. :P

And the idea is quite fun itself, but biking is a bit hard, even more if you have to pay atention to the lanes and the moms/obstacles.

Had a good laugh and fun with this game. :) Nice artwork too. :D

It's hard to play (screen and pedal's control). Maybe the game somehow is like bicycling (look pedals when bicycling?). That game can receive improvements. Good. :)

Difficult but pretty enjoyable once you get the pedal rhythm down!
