It was a little hard to control, but I guess that is part of the style of this kind of game.GJ
I thought it was going to be more awkward to control but it works really well!
The solutions to the things like the lightning are really clever
- The gate was cool how you had to use multiple parts of the craft to open it, very unique design
- My only complaint is I wish the game was longer and had more obstacles/stuff to do. but alas, tis hard to do in 72 hrs. Great work!
edit: omg there is even a gif with the solution to the steep hill :D
Decent entry!
!> Sooooo, where can I find that one indie game? *hehe :>*
No, buddy, you’re not stupid. I’m the dumb one: my friend and I couldn’t get the physics right in Unity. Sometimes it behaves in a way that makes climbing the hill easy. But other times it’s really hard. I don’t understand how to fix it.
The idea was that you either build up speed on the front wheel from far away, or, if you didn’t get any momentum, you could use the lightning rod in the clouds and a lightning strike would push you up in 3–4 hits. But unfortunately, it turned out to be too difficult to pull off. The game was meant to be chill, but it ended up being hard 🙂
At first, the unusual cover caught my attention. Then I read the description and decided to give it a try. And as soon as I launched the game and pressed “jump,” I immediately realized this game is on another level. This is pure gold. Very funny, original, clear, and perfectly fits the theme.
Wonderful work — congratulations! P.S.- My car broke a bit, but it didn’t ruin the experience 
P.S. I guess @skeyven might like our game because it has something to do with chairs :)
Chairs are my passion ^^
