I love it, my only problem was that it's sometimes doesn't register picking up barrels

This game is pretty well done! Impressive give the time constraints! My only complaint is that, for me anyway, the mouse should be inverted - or at least have the option.

Nice concept, would work well in VR. Hard through

@quivscor Thank you so much! Sometimes barrels fall overboard, when there are too many of them..

@jason-lothamer Thanks for your feed back. I find it easier this way.

@selftitled I’m glad you liked it. Yeah, it would be interesting to play it in VR :grinning:

I didn't found what to do. I didn't saw any barel to click on. I trying several key and the mouse buttons to click on the creen button on the console and nothing happened.

@bombjack You need to click the barel on the back side of the train to start.

Pretty fun concept, I think the hitbox to grab barrels could be a bit bigger, cause when you're going fast, you need to be vey lucky to pick up barrels. Otherwise I liked it :D

@tymus When you going fast, you hope that the barrels will remain until the end ;D

@tymus You need to collect more barrels from the start!

Yes, I agree with other feedback: the idea is cool, I like to turn around to burn logs. I replayed your game 3 times - it means that it's really addictive.
But it is so hard and so SAD that I can't catch logs at the high speed :cry:
Maybe it will be cool to add rechargeable grenade, that can gather all logs in the area. And it will recharge as fast as your speed :)

Cool idea :D If I could pick up the fuel easier It would be better.

Very hard to pick up the fuel when going so fast :P Guess that's the challenge xD I think it would be better if the ramping up was slower because you reached ludicrous speeds very fast

Cool game, a bit hard to pick up the fuel but it's fun.

Pretty fun actually. Would have liked some indicator to show me how long there was left. I.e. a sign every 5km or just a progress bar. Towards the end it's impossible to pick up more fuel though, and you just have to hope you have enough to get to the end. Something else than the default skybox would also be great. But overall, neat game.

@linver, @ohmaigawd, @akerspoket, @kubenexion my game was intended that way that in the end you can only hope you have enough fuel to finish:)) it did not turn out to be very obvious i guess...

@luckyfeathers Great idea with a sign! I also thought about it, but as with skybox something went wrong :)

I played it 4 times and still enjoyed it as much as the first, that's something which isn't easily pulled off, good one (:

It's a nice little game. It has kind of a design problem, which is that you really need to pick up lots of fuel tanks right at the beginning and hoard them until the end, because it becomes almost impossible to grab them half-way through. Maybe have a different method for grabbing the fuel?

The graphics are quite functional, though a nice skybox and less fog would make it look much better.

It was fun :)

Took me one try to figure out how to play, but this is, in effect, a really interesting puzzle game! I got a little confused at the start because I thought the fuel was smaller and sitting on the dashboard, not realizing it got teleported into the back. I managed to work my way up to 160 speed, at which point even click-spamming near the towers I couldn't pick up more barrels, and was eventually overtaken. Well done!

We had similar idea! Only 2D. You did good job. Funny, hard.

Really cool idea!! It was a bit difficult to manage how to play, but after that the game became fun and enjoyable. Loved it :)

@petzi Thank you! Next compo will be better! :)

@gooy :grinning:

@ Baby-dinosaur Maybe a small story at the beginning of the game will help solve this problem? :) You needed a bit of speed to get rid of the chase! ;)

@doorless Thanks!

@sumgamstudio Really? Leave a link if you will make this game!

@hadrien Thanks, Hadrien! I also really liked your game!

It was quite confusing at first, but after that I found the game pretty fun, maybe some tutorial could help the player, besides that the game seems to be very well made, the 3d graphics are so cool, I liked the mood of the game, great job !

Enjoyed it, it was however confusing on startup and hard to figure out what you wanted to do. Making the fuel look more like fuel could help with this. Overall though I really enjoyed it, good job!
