WYP by DGo

[raw]
made by DGo for Ludum Dare 58 (JAM)

You're out on a road trip when you chance upon a quaint little town.

Maybe its time to collect some pocket watches?

This was originally a compo project but due to scope creep and my own sanity slipping, decided to do another day :sweat_smile:

This game is psychedelic baby. interesting vibe. Was fun collecting watches just to see what they did. The cubes were annoying me so I lowkey ran them all over and killed them.

What an awesome and trippy art style! I really enjoyed the visuals and environment design here... there was even a good amount of interactivity! For example, I got turned around and drove back to the spawn, and my little cube guy told me that I was going the wrong way. Small details like that really add up!

cute little random game, particularly interesting touch to delay the jump by a bit to make it feel like the slime is charging up his jump

I really loved this game especially the 2d sprites in a 3d world

Nice game! I had fun running around and exploring the world. I liked the tutorial being a watch, and I genuinely stopped and laughed when I was kind of driving around randomly in the beginning, and the menu showing you what you had to do to get out of the car just kept growing and zooming in on the button I had to press. :laughing: Messing around with the grapple was fun, and I was motivated enough to get them all, so good work! Maybe it was the motivation watch I picked up early on.....

That is pretty fun! although I wished that there was more that you can do with the watches. The grapple watch is really fun so would be really cool to have a course where you have to use it to get a different watch, I also found out that I can just kill the enemies by letting them take a watch and steal it back immediately rather than just running away, so that is a very cool mechanic!

Wow! Racing, collecting, abilities, dealing with thieves, parkour, and all with stunning graphics. No need to wait for GTA 6 anymore!

This is completely looney! Really feels like I'm a tourist in a trippy town that's obsessed with watches. Grappling around was really fun, I wish there was more of that! I even looked underneath the floating island to see if there were secrets there. x3

:) Gotta catch 'em all! [Screenshot 2025-10-09 212459.png](///raw/2de/12/z/6f27a.png)

This was a lot of fun. So many mechanics going on! I had more fun than I was expecting doing jumps in the van... But then I found the high jump watch. Thanks for not making me re-collect everything when one got stolen! Also, the sound is far catchier than it needs to be, and with excellent ticking and tocking! Very cool vibe

I liked the art style a lot, classic game jam style of making the best with limited time. I would have liked a couple more watches that helped you get other watches, but it was definitely fun collecting them.

I'm not sure its the weirdest jam game I have ever played, but its definitely up there. Really fun vibe though with a lot of nice little touches. Particularly liked the Animal Crossing style voices, also the music was really nicely fitting. Driving my bus around and being a tourist collecting stuff in a town with light-fingered locals, whats not to love? Fun.

Very cool! I was so surprised when someone stole one of my watches, but I really liked that element of the game. Great work!

Okay, this is maybe one of my favorites here. There are few minor graphical issues, but I expect those could be ironed out quite easily. The only real questionable issue might be the data not resetting if you refresh the page, as you get to keep all the watches you've found so far. What I wrote on itch is true: "Honestly, please continue to work on this post jam. I want to explore a whole word via my little bus! Great effort, just a surreal little bop!"

This is such a fun little sandbox, and I just had a fun time. I could see this going in a ton of bizarre little directions. Right up my alley, loved this!
