Yeah, I like it a lot. The movement is a little counter-intuitive, but I think that adds some charm to the game :)

I did get soft-locked, between a wall and a car, so a reset button would be a good thing to add, not something I had thought of at any point beforehand, and I don't think anyone else would have either XD. (in the final version XD )

Me here pretending I didn't play test this game XDD

I had a blast playing this game, and I wish it was a bit longer. And if this is the default behavior of rigid bodies in unity then lord have mercy on unity devs

First things first, I am devastated this game doesn't have a built in speedrun timer. That is the perfect game to implement one, and I'm honestly a bit shocked it doesn't show your time in the victory screen. (along with other stats, like total deaths) With that out of the way...

This is one of the funniest games I've played in quite a few Ludum Dares. The scream, the nonsensical player exploding, I love all of it. The artwork is so adorable, and the game is so cartoonishly violent. It's exactly my sense of humor.

The steering is so wonky, it's hard not to have a huge stupid grin, even while you're failing the same section over and over. Ah, I love it. Seriously great work.

Oh, and god dang that music is a bop.

I like how you put Dynia in the title, hah. Dobra gra! It's hard to control, but it has it's fun to it.

I like the idea, I actually like game even though it feels pretty bad to play. Some suggestions for improving it:

-Movement could be use simplified physics, lock some axis up so it does not fall over randomly
-Minimum of getting movement passable is to reverse steering when going backwards. Now it is very counter intuitive.
-Faster steering
-Move camera bit further from character so you have more time to react

What I think it does very well:

-Idea is very clear from start, you learned everything about it when you have hit your first checkpoint and crashed once
-Checkpoint system is very forgiving as it should be in this kind of game
-It tells you controls in the beginning

@jormarysky Thanks, hell yeah i knew steering in reverse didn't felt right, man what sleep depravation does to a mf that he doesn't realize such simple solutions lol, also well i don't want to lock up any rotation axis, since well that's kinda point of the game to not fall over, not just when getting hit by enemies, unless you mean something diffrent and it flew over my head, glad you enjoyed the game :D

Yo this game is hard haha, I don't know why, but I would inverse the horizontal input, it would be much easier for my brain lol

Special shoutout to the person who did the music, I really feel the Mario Kart vibe with the slapping bass.

Good job gang!:D

Had fun playing but movement was very confusing when going in reverse. I'm very very bad at the game, but had a good laugh! Good job :D

Very difficult, but the game feels silly enough that it doesn't feel too frustrating. Very grateful for the checkpoint system. Only real gripe is that the steering is inverted when reversing, that was very hard for me to wrap my head around.

Rage quitted it before the wood bridge :sweat_smile:

But it was fun ! I laughed when I saw the pile of car in the street below :laughing:

I like the facts the world stay the same between deaths, it helps clearing the path. Art style is cool too, well done !

But it was funny to see me pop off on the floor

This was so good! The chaos is amazing, the fast reset works great and the controls are just precise enough to not be too frustrating. Well done!

Also CARS:

An adorable and fun game. It provided a fresh experience as a 3D running game with an anterior lateral perspective, which brings really unique interactions. Also, the design of the obstacle is really interesting and has high playability. Really like it!

I was sadly not able to sell my harvest, but I did have a good time a long the way. Really enjoy these types of graphics. My only issue was probably the movement but I'll have to take the blame for that myself as I'm not a great driver. Good job on the entry!

Controls are killing me, but I guess it was intentional, nice job :D

I love me some CHAOS

(note: it's kinda hard to control cuz it's from front and the backward movement is inverted)

Silly game the screams are funny :) I really struggled with the controls and wished the camera was from behind the player. Was about to quit when I somehow made it lol.

The chaos was enjoyable, but not having inverted reverse steering really through me off. With that one fix I think this game would have been a ton of fun to play!

Laughed at the death sounds/anims, ended up stuck between a ramp and a building like Austin Powers with the luggage cart, and careened to ~~certain death~~ glory with my precious harvest. This is such a fun submission!

This was great! The chaos! xD I really liked the music -funky and went perfectly with the action! Really fun and challenging -the victory picture at the end felt well earned. Had a lot of fun crossing the bridge and piling up cars too! awesome game! :D
