Very very cool and smooth game. Might be the best top down car steering I've seen so far.
But it's pretty hard anyway.
I really wish loading would take faster, and that it wouldn't make me redo the the part before the pickup each time.
Currently it's impossibly difficult though. :/
I would have prefered if there were shorter levels so I wouldn't have to start all over again.
About restarting from previous checkpoint, the loading time and off-road penalty, these would be great but we didn't have time to implement them. There is a good chance that we will add them at the end of the game jam, in a future version.
Here is a link to the VOD that starts at your section.

Perhaps you could improve the camera to let you see more what is in front of you. When you are fast it show you more of what is behind that in front.
Overall great game.
Bien joué.
In my opinion, better if we get the delivery asap.
Overall I liked the game a lot! Unfortunately my driving skills didn't allow me to deliver even the second trailer :smile:
I like the music and especially like the quality of engine and tire sound, this is incredible! Very good job in terms of sound. Rated it for 4.5. Not 5 just because I lack some audio input for story and probably some more diverse sound of firearms.
Btw, mouse didn't work for me so I could not use the gun for some reason.
And also I wish the camera could be a bit smarter and provide more visible space in front of the car. Sometimes there is not enough visibility to drive the car at fool speed.
Other than that I believe this is really nice browser or even mobile game :smirk:
Indeed, as one of your team wrote to us, this is very much like our game (well, not much points for innovation we are waiting for :D). I can say, that you are having a better game goal, like nobody running in the wastelands for no reasons, though restarting everytime from the beginning is very annoying
