Bumper Carts by PieMonsterEater

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

You're in the grocery store and you are RICH. Get all the other items and leave without crashing into other customers (the exist is the conspicuous black bar that you spawn next to).

Controls: Arrow Keys: Move

There is a WebGL version of the game available here: https://piescode.net/post.php?id=h-6iOWKq

This is the first solo jam I've done, and with such a short time limit the final build came out pretty rough. I'm used to only having to program, so doing all the assets myself was a pretty good experience I would say. The only thing I didn't do were the sounds, which are credited inside the game itself. This game was mostly made for experimenting with vehicle controls and rigidbodies since it's been awhile since I've used them very heavily and they are about to become very important to a bigger project that I am working on. So I mostly used this as an excuse to get more familiar with that.

Nice take on the theme! Those other shoppers are a menace! :-) The ambient audio fills out the experience nicely.

The other shoppers are relentless, my shopping cart kept violently exploding, just like in real life! The controls felt a little wonky. Visually, one of the biggest things I think you could add to enhance the "Collect" theme a bit better is to actually show the items you pick up in the shopping cart. Kinda odd I'm scooping up all these items and my cart is still empty. I also noticed the one crooked wheel, no wonder handling was off. Watch this sick drift!

Good job for being a solo dev on the jam!
