I love how it takes a while to start going fast, because it makes it rewarding to not hit anything, and it starts to feel really snappy when you get going. Favourite part was the manslaughter probably

Very nice looking!
You really should add a screenshot in your description,
as lot of game run on WebGL, lot of people like to know what the game looks like before downloading, unpacking...

The music is good too, the controls too... good job!

Looks and feels nice! The references on the street names were fun, maybe a map with the names of the streets would be useful.

Cool game similiar to crazy taxi with PSX aesthetics. The car was very hard to control though, too much inertia I think.

nice game, the truck got sticky on some things, but that could have been just me. i could see this with a full traffic system and some GTA style ppl walking around and being smart asses. :D

Great job! The movement and physics of the delivery truck felt very good, it made me feel like I was playing GTA 1 again jaja! but in "first person". The only thing that was difficult for me is all the smoke that came out of the crashed cars, they really occupied the entire screen and did not allow us to see correctly (just one detail). Congratulations!

Very fun! The music was a jam and the Day/Night cycle is really impressive. I knocked over and destroyed many pedestrians!

Really great job! 3D games are tough to make so quickly, super impressive that you accomplished something so complex.

Great job with the acceleration and physics of the van. Raised the skill ceiling and made it tricky, I felt like I was getting better over time which kept it interesting!

Pretty solid entry! A few random points:

* Nice music and background radio!
* Lovely graphics style, I like the retro look
* Great job on the smoke effects when you hit cars :)
* Driving controls are not great for me (mostly because the breaks are too weak and maybe the turning radius too wide)
* At 1 PM it was already getting dark... maybe this is near the north pole :)
* The game is a bit laggy for me. Skipping frames every one in a while, unfortunately making the game less enjoyable. :(
* I didn't play until the end because it became repetitive, maybe you could change the goal not to be time based and maybe add some extras like buying power-ups. Just some thoughts.

Great work!

Fun driving/rushing! But it would be much cooler, if you had the story developed after like 3 packages, otherwise it gets repetitive. Nice cover art!

The plant delivering was fun, but it was nowhere NEAR as fun as viciously T-Boning a car out of nowhere and getting into a crash so bad it essentially soft-locked the game

This game is very chaotic lol. Art style was pretty unique, though once it got dark (at 1pm???? :stuck_out_tongue: ) it really started to tank my fps with the number of lights on screen. Music fit well and the gameplay loop was enjoyable. Had an issue a few times where it failed to upright my van when it got knocked over so that was a bit of a bummer. Overall a fairly enjoyable entry nonetheless.
