I enjoyed trying to complete the objectives before time ran out. Not sure that the theme is real strong but I like it. It would be nice to have a mini-map of the city to see where I need to go next. I can see this going in so many great directions if you keep working on it. Nice job."},{"author_name":"loggs2","author_uid":"29178","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 1:19am","epoch":1387329240,"text":"I had a lot fun drifting around trying to avoid walls (not that I didn't hit them a ton...). It would have been nice to maybe have the road colored a bit so it would be easier to distinguish at first, but once I got the hang of it it didn't matter too much. :)"},{"author_name":"Aaants","author_uid":"16061","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 9:43pm","epoch":1387402680,"text":"Really nice.

Yeah unfortunately it's a little unclear - given more time I would have added arrows and also a screen to explain what the gas and repair tiles do, doesn't help that I can't art :P"},{"author_name":"psc1997","author_uid":"20890","time":"Dec 30, 2013 @ 8:02pm","epoch":1388433420,"text":"Nice !"},{"author_name":"SoundGuy","author_uid":"31394","time":"Dec 31, 2013 @ 9:33am","epoch":1388482080,"text":"very hard controls."},{"author_name":"Jezzamon","author_uid":"10217","time":"Jan 7, 2014 @ 1:32am","epoch":1389058020,"text":"Gah!

You only have one. But when you complete it? You get another! \r\n\r\nView a timelapse of my entry here: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9b1O6VslCGA\r\n\r\n------------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nObjective is a semi-open-world driving game with a simple goal, complete your only objective within the time limit. \r\n\r\nHowever, you will also have to micromanage your car, as you make sure it's kept clean for stingy VIPs, topped up with fuel so you can get to the next location, and repaired so that you don't explode when trying to knock over a dustbin.\r\n\r\n------------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nControls: \r\n\r\nWASD - Movement\r\nM    - Turn off sound\r\n\r\nTips:\r\n\r\n- Let go of W or Up when turning corners to slide round them (and so you don't go flying into walls - your car takes damage!)\r\n- Unfortunately I didn't have time to implement a minimap or pointer, but there are only 5 locations in the game and they change colour so they are obvious to spot. It doesn't take more than a few goes to learn where they are!\r\n- Hitting trash makes your car dirty, and VIPs won't get in if it's over 50% dirty!\r\n\r\n------------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nThanks for checking out my game! Had great fun again, but I do wish I had spent my time on day two a little better. \r\n\r\nA final note: the Mac and Linux builds are currently untested. Hopefully soon I can test the Linux at least. \r\n\r\n------------------------------------------------------------","title":"Objective"}
