Couldn't get it to work, the web link points to twitter, not to the game.

Yeah the web link is pointing to Twitter. Looks amusing from the screenshots though...

OMG I'll keep this game it's so great! Good graphics, sounds, easy to command...The only thing I could criticize (but it's a detail as it's already a really good entry) is that there's no end/goal/reward that makes you keep playing.

An enjoyable top down free for all ... would have been nice to add some objectives, like track a particular animal down. Good job.

The shift between peaceful safari and the slaughter is epic. Maybe some indication of health and taken damage would do good

When I started the rampage and the heavy metal came on I was decked! Really like the car handling and is super polished - awesome work!

What's there is great, I really like it! But I would like a healthbar of some sort. The driving was better than I expected so thumbs up to that! :)

I have seen some games of conduction, but yours is one of the best in this ludum dare. Goood graphics and nice gameplay and effects. Maybe it's too crazy but it's fun :-)

I think you die a little too quick, but other than that, great job!

Like carmageddon but in a safari. Great execution.

Fun game! The driving controls are pretty solid and the camera work is great, it zooms in and out nicely and keeps the view in front of the car, nice! Drifting into a bunch of animals and splattering them all about feels good (game wise...not morally :D).

An objective would have been cool, like hunt down x elephants etc... Graphics are very nice and the theme was awesome, you really made me feel like a monster!

A great collection of good, sound mechanics! The car handling is tuned very well, the drifting and the killing is satisfying. Would have liked a bit more feedback on damage - I realised later that there's smoke coming from the car, but it's not very apparent. And I hope there's some way to avoid damage, or else it's quite linear (I realise the elephants attack you, but that's not really enough) - like sideswiping animals wouldn't give you as much damage as a frontal hit, or something - if it's already doing that, then it should be communicated.

Would have been nice if a hit didn't instantly result in a splatter regardless of your speed. But then we're into the realms of physics simulations :P

Goals yes, would have been nice :)

Smooth game, very fun to play. I included it in part 31 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/rsAmrwtnu-0
