Alright, this was pretty funny, I dig it! The simplicity of the gameplay loop combined with some light competition really does have you going "just one more game, I can do better next time".

One thing that I would have liked to see would have been collision between the two vans. Being able to push the opponent out of the way to grab some candy would have led to some great moments.

Overall, pretty solid work, great job!

This was very fun! Gives me flashbacks to playing GTA 2 back in the day hah. There's a nice little bit of tactics involved in deciding how to evade the cops.

Would be very nice with some collision with the other vehicle, as well as maybe being able to bump tables and stuff around.

Very polished and quite fun. I think im just to stupid to understand what the children are there for. One is a barrier and the other one?

Thank you all very much for your feedback ! @anton-florey yellow children will rush at nearby cars and slow them down (they can also stack !). Be careful though because they will attack regardless of who threw the candy !

Very interesting idea. I really like it. It can be full game in steam. Good work, good luck

Oh wow, this thing slaps. Very very stylish and polished, you can't help but laugh even though the subject matter is a bit disturbing.

I think a 1 player mode (a true Candy**man** vs Megacops mode, really) would work just as well.

Really fun game and a creative idea. The models are very fun and cartoony which add to the games great style and humour

At first it’s not entirely clear what and how, but literally 10 seconds was enough for me to understand what and how, but I think that there will be people who will give a minus for this, but I was stuck for 10 minutes, so it’s a good game)

I enjoyed the graphics and sounds! It was fun to play local 2 player mode as well.
I think the game could benefit from a slightly larger area to move around and maybe more candies to interact with :)

Nice game, it took me a while to understand how candies work.

The game turned out to be addictive, it's very cool! The only thing is that it’s not entirely clear how the candies work and you don’t always notice where they appear, as if some kind of indication with their place of appearance is missing. But still a great game!

Ace humour but questionable theme.... haha! Perfect as a web game though the controls are a little bit loose. Also if the cop comes up from behind (puntastic..) it doesn't trigger the jail time..

Congratulations, the game is really funny and the music is great! It was great to be able to play in pairs, we had a lot of fun even if unfortunately we always get caught too quickly haha

Nice game, I played several times. Especially like the jazzy music which fits well with the colorfoul graphics, it gives a nice vibe!

The 3D and UI are nice and coherent~ The candies and children can drop at a higher rate; and I was a little confused why do I need to pick up candies if I could use my driving skills to evade the cops; maybe cuz the candies aren't brining a big enough upper hand to the players who got them? But overall it's a fun little driving game I enjoyed playing it! :D

Awesome! You made a very slick package in a short time! I appreciate the low poly look, it's a great route to go and reminded me of a PS1 game. Loved the clean UI elements and having some volume sliders on the title screen. Simple yet fun loop was another solid decision for a game jam. Overall polish was excellent and the van controlled pretty good. Only note I can think of is that the candy hit boxes were a bit slim, considering the perspective and everything going on it could probably be more generous. The summoning theme didn't quite land for me but I kinda get it :] Overall it was a triumph though, congrats!
