Life of the Party by sirsnowy7

[raw]
made by sirsnowy7 for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

Imagine my plight: I was at a sick rager me and my frat bro, Chad, had planned when, at the most inopportune time, we were on the brink of running of snacks and sodas! Could you imagine? So, I did what was right, and I headed out to get some munchies and sodie pops for all of my bros. This task was made difficult, however, by the fact that if I didn't make it back in time, that rager would not be raging much longer, and even more difficult because of the poor gas mileage on my dinky dinker.

Anyways, this game is my story.

Really funny idea, I like it. controls were wonky and switching gears is x+c for some reason, though.

I love the art! It seems the controls don't work as they are described on the startup screen though. A and C dont do anything.

I like the idea and it looks good, but the controls are really clunky to deal with (switching gears doesn't work properly) and its pretty easy to get stuck on objects. It could use some polish and then it would be a pretty good mini-game!

Although i had no hope with the controls the idea and execution was great, the objective was clear, i just didn't know how to drive properly because whenever i pulled in x or c wouldn't change gear. other then my stupidity, great game!

Cool game. It's funny, but I had a lot of trouble finding the stuff and I kept getting stuck on things.

@taximan981 @sirtyler @blackopsben I actually forgot to explain that you have to hold the brake while shifting gears! I will be fixing this soon lol but I wanted to clear it up, thank you for the feedback!

realy like the switching gears mechanic, could build a whole game around it for sure. I have a 5 for humor purely for the art of the party guy

Neat graphics! The controls were a bit confusing but I think only because you're shown all of them at the start and you have to remember it all. It would be nice if there were a hud on the side that displayed the controls at all times. As a temporary solution it could be good to put a How To Play on your Ludum Dare post for people to reference!

@jonahsenzel Thank you!! It comes from the Chad vs. Virgin meme

@infraxion That's a good idea, I might put that in the Post-LD version.

This was actually an automatic transmission simulation game :D Party driver being also so much drunk not being able to separate front and rear of the car. Very solid, the graphics were very good. I do not remember seeing this type of pixel art style.

Nice, I like the retro looking graphics! I have to agree with the others though, the controls were very difficult :)
