I thought of taking a similar approach to the theme! Glad someone else explored it!

I made it to court on time! Good work on this entry. I ran into some weird issues with screen resolution (the window was too small), but pressing alt+enter to get it into full screen helped. Also I was able to move during the countdown so I got a nice head start.

I quite like the music. The camera rotation was a little bit jarring, but I got used to it pretty quick.

@maggardjosh Thanks for playing! About the screen resolution, when I built the game (with very little time left) I couldn't get it to scale properly, so I decided to make it default to a non-fullscreen window at 1920x1080, regardless of device resolution. Not ideal, but all my tired brain could come up with at the time lol.

@owtuvammo Yeah, the rotation is a little intense I know, it was my first time using cinemachine so definitely a learning process. I'm glad you liked the music!

Nice idea for the theme :) As already mentioned, the camera movement is a bit jarring in this top-down perspective, maybe have it further from the environment or not completely top-down (though I understand it may take away from the maze-factor). Graphics are nice and colorful.

I imagine the court summons was because of my terrible driving and numerous traffic offenses. Great work, nice job tricking me into backing up at the start of level 2, and driving forward when I should have backed up on level 4.

Simple but solid. I wouldn't mind if I had less time to finish. My headcanon is that this guy has to go to court so much because of his reckless driving :')

@sheepolution @tykenn thanks for the kind words! funny how you both thought of the same backstory for the summons haha!

Very solid entry, my only issue is the turning is a little vigarous when going forward for keyboard controls, but other than that very enjoyable.

It was fun to drive. I laughed when I realised you can drive during the countdown.

Fun game! The graphics are a bit too blocky for my taste.
The time limits are quite generous, I managed beat every level on the first try.

Well done!

The music loop was definitely a highlight. A little on the easier side, but was a fun few minutes. Too bad on the scaling. My screen is only 1366x768 :laughing: I'm guessing there's some stuff I couldn't see.

Really unique take on the theme! I had some trouble with camera rotation as well - maybe it's a bit /too/ responsive? :laughing: Well done!

I really liked the graphics, they are simple yet interesting. The game concept is good, but the controls could be improved. Congratulations on the outcome!
