Driver's License by Sanguine

[raw]
made by Sanguine for LD30 (COMPO)
driver's license is a game about a super buff guy who has stranded on an island due to a freak car accident.

Items can be shared with other players by throwing them into the water. There are several endings but only 1 will be available to you when you don't get any items from other players. The more items you give away the more you will receive.

WASD to move
Spacebar to jump
LMB and RMB to pickup and throw items with left and right hand
Throw 2 items against eachother in mid-air to craft

-----------------------------------------------------
Updated the game slightly after uploading because of a game breaking bug that gave everyone the same island

Someone told me to put a stick in my hole!!
It's awesome that you can send stuff to each other and the crafting is very satisfying. the story made me a little bit sad though :'(

Best game for me so far. Love it!
I just love sending random messages to people. It makes me feel all giggly, fuzzy and warm inside. I do think there could be more crafting combinations and the combining isn't as smoothly as it could be. Sometimes one of the items stays in my hands forever and I cannot do anything anymore, thus I cannot complete the game so far. Now I have to go, throw more stuff in the sea, bye.

Now that's what I call crafting with style.
Love the share mechanic! Brilliant!
I also laughed out loud when I suddenly realized that I
have just picked up the tree, haha.

I just sent a solar panel adrift along with a doubtful friendly message. And I loved every part of it.

Okay so I got a tree stuck to my hand while I tried to send it to someone and it even has a sticky note on it that is bugging out when I'm jumping and I can't do anything anymore.

I wasn't kidding, okay?

But it's still the best. Really, it's so good that I'm done for today.

Crafted a fridge, rubber, hammer, hear, mostly by accident. I just started throwing stuff in the air, like I did not care..! Really enjoyed the feel of it, that was fun!

It did bug out after I tried sending my 4th or 5th item, it got stuck in my hand and I couldn't pick anything else up.

I keep having to restart because the left hand stops working. :( I really enjoy this, too -- the silliness is great.

Love it. I can't even tell how much time this game has consumed from me. I have to play more, hoping there's still gifts coming my way.
(BTW I didn't know at first that my messages would actually reach someone, there might be some rude things I said. Sorry.)

Awesome! I love the crafting and exchange system.
Receiving and sending messages is very pleasing !
I noticed a bug happening after a while with the left arm of the character : it began to shake and I could not use it anymore

I loved this game! I'm normally not one to experiment with crafting to try and figure out combinations, but because it was so cute and fun to throw things into each other, I was much more willing to play around. I had trouble mapping which mouse button was which free hand, but I'm not sure a good solution to helping to convey that. I was a bit sad that after I made the final thing, I didn't get to throw my excess helpful things into the ocean. If i had more time, I'd go back and make a bunch of the helpful things and throw them in for other players. Well done!

Didn't really like controls; it took me some time to figure out how to craft at all, and even then it was somewhat tricky; the items around didn't help grabbing the correct thing. >.<

The messages system is somewhat fancy, though; I'm not sure, however, how items receiving is handled and if it requires two people being online at the same time at least. Also, am I correct in suspecting that depending on island there are different elementary items (specifically, the unkown-named white stones and rubber trees on one island, and coconuts and palm trees on another)? Are there other items? How long it might take before my message reaches someone?

I guess that sort of multiplayer can get rather troublesome, overall, if the items we get depends purely on whatever people throw in... especially if they are on the same sort of islands as us...?

Couldn't find anyone to send me stuff though :<
