Mad Mesa by jcsirron

They say there is no such thing as SuperCar. They were wrong! Drive the dusty mesa fending off buggies trying to kill you. Being a god, you won't get hurt, though! There's no end, just the screams of buggy drivers as they careen off the mesa!

Made using Godot as a new engine for us.

Anyway as for the game, It's actually pretty fun just to mess around with, the physics felt surprisingly good and the interaction with the buggies was great. I somehow managed to get two buggies facing backward simultaneously shooting off the bad guys so I didn't have to xD
But as you meantioned the game is pretty empty and it didn't really feel like there was a point to it. I think it could have been vastly improved by just adding a game over condition and a score count for how much scrap metal you collected (or whatever it was that you were collecting lol)
I also did notice a bug where the if the enemies shot the scrap metal, the console would log "caught" as if the player had collected it. All in all, awesome job for starting a new engine during a game jam and actually creating something substantial from it!
Feel free to check out my [Story Collabs.](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/story-collabs)
With sounds effects, bad ass soundtrack and some explosions thrown in could propel the game to be even more widely appreciated and played, go max for the whole Mad Max theme this has going for it.
I would love to get your feedback on my crappy product if it's not too much of a hustle :))

I agree with @Maakep though, the controls work pretty well for a top down car game.
