Play Shoulda, Coulda but Didn't

Our game is done! We took damn near every second of our available time to do so - finding issues 5 minutes before submission time is never good - but now you can help two crappy drivers - Will (the co-developer) and I - get to the store in their cheap, rickety electric car.

You can pick which of us is driving, and our in-car banter changes depending on who's behind the wheel. You drive through a valley full of hills, mountain, palm trees, a frozen lake and even a volcano on your way to Aaghshop, ramming power poles for electricity and grabbing up repair kits when the car gets too banged up.

The road is pretty straight forward, and careful, steady drivers can make it to the end almost without any extra electricity at all. However, there is a large amount of off-road space, and aside from the main mountain ridge on the far perimeter, you're free to explore it all, finding hidden power-ups and more. Of course, the car isn't made for much off-roading, and you're going to burn through more electricity exploring, so you have to be careful not to get stuck, wrecked or out of power before reaching the store.

It's a fairly short game, but we'd recommend playing it twice - once with each driver - just for the dialog. As a side note, the game's name is Shoulda, Coulda but Didn't, but I was so tired last night when we finally exported and uploaded it that I called it Coulda, Shoulda but Didn't when I first uploaded it to Itch, when I submitted it here, and when I named the the game itself in Unity before export - and I didn't notice any of that until this morning. Sleep is your friend, people!
