I had a little help with the sound, I directed my 4 year old daughter to be talent for the 2 sound effects. The handgun is modified clipart. I decided to do this rather than draw a gun myself as I wouldn't of been able to get the point across of what it was if I tried to draw the gun, from scratch, myself. It would of also been difficult for me to try to find a handgun to take a photo of.

I couldn't turn around, it's like the radius of turn blocks after about 70* turn. For that reason the cubes kept stacking and soon the game was unplayable dropping frames really badly.

Nice game, and cute voiceacting of your kid. The camera angle is a little bit awkward and the car hard to control. But overall nice entry!

I did have some trouble making the car playable, at first I was trying out using the gun explosion to propel the car. In the end, I realized I'd need more time for good vehicle physics.

Nice idea. The camera and the vehicle physics seem a bit buggy.

Besides the turning being a little buggy, the game itself was fun.
Good job, you and your daughter :)

The cubes were so intense they caused my computer to crash, my home's power to cut out, and my bank account to abruptly and mysteriously empty.

Would recommend.

BANG BANG! BANG BANG! You have to love the sound effects :) Controls are a bit clunky but if they weren't it wouldn't be as fun. Good job!

I enjoyed the mood of this game, as it didn't take itself too seriously. It had a good sense of humour, but I wasn't left in stitches. The audio itself added a lot of personality to the game, but got old kind of fast. I wasn't a fan of the graphics, but that didn't seem to be your biggest concern. It went well with the theme, and was very unconventional. It was innovative, but I will be honest and say I didn't really have fun. It felt too easy.
