Playing it safe is less challenging and as such less fun unfortunately.\n\nI got to 11km before giving up. I had a near full tank of gas as there were loads of pickups just next to the road. Driving on the road is the best strategy anyways as you can get stuck on ramps if unlucky enough (like me!).\n\nThe twigs and the cardboard boxes are made of strong stuff indeed. You should have put physics on the boxes at least.\n\nEngine sounds, particle effects (smoke and dust) and some kind of a damage model (running headlong into a fence should affect the van a bit yeah?) would have been great additions in my book. \n\nCurrently this is ok for what it is.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Remzo","author_uid":"1042546","time":"2017-08-02T09:00:46Z","epoch":1501664446,"modified":1501664446,"text":"I really enjoyed the vibe of just driving the road. The music fit really well, the car handled really nicely and the camera movement was excellent. A minor nitpick was that fuel seemed to be a simple timer and not actually related to how fast you were going. When I ran out, the game over pop-up came immediately. I was expecting to be able to coast for a bit and hit a green square, so that was a bit jarring. A little more polish in terms of some particles and engine sound effects would really make this more engaging. That being said, I still drove for 15+ km.
