I love the hand-drawn artstyle of the whole map, at first I was thinking that having no map would be a bad idea but it encouraged me to actually memorize the four locations to go to, neat! My high score was 50, I'm bad at the driving.

Very complete game! The map is simple but does the job. The car controls are a bit weird, you usually can't turn when you don't accelerate.

Good job!

Idea and SFX are the best

Сontrols are not friendly, the car is too sharp and fast. Otherwise, beautiful art, some humor, fun to play

I absolutely loved the voice lines hahahahaha
The car was going a bit too fast but it was funny to keep hitting things just for the voice lines XD

"That's okay I got insurance" is a good way to sum up my attempts on this game. I constantly here those voice lines 'cos I'm bad at video games! The delivery hearse is SUPER fast and twitch to drive and it wasn't clear at first that I was taking the coffins to the wrong graveyard. A arrow would've been helpful for dumbos like me. Nice work!

The game is pretty good, the controls are a bit clunky and annoying. But overall a pretty funny game.

It's ok, I got insurance. Car was so difficult to control but maybe that's the point? I think you could've kept the speed but made it control a bit better. Pressing W to go down while you're facing down is so wack, took me a long time to get used to that. Otherwise a really funny premise.

The controls felt a bit off, but it was very fun. Maybe tone down the top speed, or make it accelerate a bit more slowly? It might have also been interesting if you could only turn while going forward/backwards, like in a real car. I really liked the dialogue.

Ferrari acceleration and turning on that hearse! That's okay we have insurance :laughing:

Already, I like the premise. I think it's funny! And well, the game in general has a real fun tone to it, I appreciate the attention put there. Congrats on your first game!

I loved the commentary, cracked me up! Overall great premise but could do with a bit of tweaking on the controls. Great submission though!

The art is cool, the music is also cool...

Who am I kidding? I've spent the last 10 minutes fucking rear-ending houses with a dead person in my car whilst calm ukulele music followed. I've been laughing like a little kid, slamming into poor Samaritans' houses whilst the driver just assures to himself "I have insurance". The car is really hard to handle but honestly, I think it adds to this alcohol infused fever dream and I love it.

Simple game but got me hooked! Also reminds me of my own driving style.

Love the little quips, and for some reason ukulele music. The driver in the middle of town seems lost. It would help to have a map or compass, or maybe name the hospitals by their location on the map?

Fun idea! The speed of the car and how fast it turned made it a little too difficult to control (at least for me, haha)

Nice SFX and fun to play but i think my car is broken :tongue: Just a little bit hard to control our car. Good job, I had great time! :smile:

Very tough, the controls were definitely CRAZY! This was a great first entry though, had a bit of fun zipping around, nice work.
