remote vroom vroom by Tymus

[raw]
made by Tymus for Ludum Dare 59 (JAM)

ezgif.com-crop.gif ok so it's a game where you control a tiny remote control car with a camera attached to it and you have to get through the basement by avoiding pits and other obstacles there. Sadly the camera is a bit old and wifi doesn't go through the floor intact so you might lose some signal from time to time but no worries, you can still control the car since radio waves are better at getting through woodplanks.

[post-jam disclaimer] haven't updated the game yet but I noticed that the impact sound is playing way too much, sorry about that. also having seen some friends play it, the game feels way too hard but I guess that's what you get for making it alone

Cool idea. The game is challenging and beautiful. It takes a lot of trial and error to learn the route. I really like the post-processing and the great interference/glitch effect. Congratulations on an excellent game!

Good-looking little idea - I love controlling vehicles (I’ve also made a few prototypes myself). The glitches and visual effects are great and really sell the experience. Great work, and congrats!

I hope you have the time to polish the frustrating navigation into something more rewarding/ conventionally challenging, because it's otherwise a 5/5 for me in most of the categories. Very pleasant to interact with

It required a fair amount of focus while exploring the map, but I managed to finish the game. I like the art style. You also clearly managed to complete the game in time, and that deserves respect

The whole physics and visual add a lot of strange humourous timing in the game. It's hard, very tense, but dying feel as much funny as frustrating (well, I didn't find the exit so the frustrating bit was maybe too high for me). I still wonder how to solve this labyrinth (I find a big place with huge colomn but die and didn't find the strenght to try to get back there)

Also the audio is very cool ! And obviously the dot-pattern visual is top! And in line with theme. Congrats!

Feels like I'm playing a PS1 game through night vision goggles, cool visuals and unique concept

443 cm of cable — I did it!

The controls are very sensitive — which makes you pay closer attention to your actions. The camera switching is implemented excellently and, in my opinion, is a key condition for victory — in third-person view, you need to plan your route, and in first-person view, you need to watch the edges of the narrow path.
The glitch effect is absolutely fire!

The visuals are really cool, the signal loss effect is extremely clever. The game was quit tough for me, might have to try again later!

It's really fun, and the sanar is incredibly cool. There aren't many games like this, but I really like the concept of sanar in games

really nice distortion VFX and audio!

I was surprised to not see as many games about having low signal or maintaining good signal, but maybe its because its hard to visualize. Your rendering techniques worked really well for this purpose, great work!

Cool game! Love the graphics and how everything is minimalistic, but stylish at the same time. I think some 'bad connection' zones are too large, and it might be a bit frustrating, but other than that, great work!

@roroto-sic yes there's a way out, you can get a glimpse at it when you start the game, it's the glowing shape kinda far away

As a roboticist, I really loved this take on the theme--you captured the pain and suffering of teleoperated hardware so, so well. :see_no_evil: Fantastic job.

@roroto-sic I don’t remember exactly, but I think at this point you were supposed to go to the right, along the cliff
