Its cool how you made it work despit all the Game Object spawning all the time.
I think the mechaics are cool, but it doens't fit the Theme so well.

This is more like.. Chaos instead of Unstable.
The game also lacks a little bit of propuse, and it would be nice if some music was playing on the background or some Audio FX for the Cone like a sport car.

Other are OK!

My jaw completely dropped with awe when I walked into traffic and saw what the game was all about. At first I was thinking "oh, I'm a cone- it's like prop hunt! ***KABOOM BANG POW***" and it was great. Top marks for humor and fun. This was *a blast*.

Cool idea and was really fun for the first bit, however it didn't progress anywhere. Some background music would be nice to help drown out the constant explosion sounds. Really amazing graphics though, good job!

Fun game to mess around in.

What a crazy idea. I was confused at very beginning about what I should do. But I find the dashing simple and funny!

Bruh I was laughing just looking at the screenshots I love this dsdsjdjs. Unfortunately it runs like ass on my potato pc, but I just appreciate the fact that this exists. Also it looks like there's no more progression so I didn't miss anything when I played.

Finally, a game that lets me live out the fantasy of being a homicidal traffic cone.

Beep. Beep. Honk. Beep. Honk. Honk.

Love it, simple and effective.

I'm not ashamed to say I kept playing this until I had well over 100,000 points. My laptop could use a bit of a cooldown period, I think, haha. And I absolutely had to capture some screenshots of flaming cars flipping through the air, and launched myself high up to get a sweet aerial shot.

I would absolutely buy a full version of this game, maybe with different maps, objectives, multiplayer, or whatever. Reminds me of the "Crash" mode (I think that's what it's called) in the old Burnout games, where the goal is to cause as much destruction as possible. Or the movie "Rubber", but with a homicidal, immortal traffic cone instead of a tire.

I'm still chuckling to myself after playing this. Simple, but HILARIOUS

Well, I have to agree with @teddyincdev that this doesn't really fit the theme. It's a neat little entry, even though there isn't that much content. This runs like absolute garbage on my PC, but that's more on me. And I managed to get myself launched out of the game world, though.

At least you managed to submit something! I just hope that you all didn't go through all the turmoil that I did.

(+) i got an error, telling me the game doesn't work, pressed "ok", then it worked

(o) unreal games are a bit large (harddrivewise) for game jams (800mb+)

(+) the fire effect looks gorgeous

(o) perfomance isn't optimal

(+) small open world with some secrets

(-) the game is a bit aim-/goalless

(+) the caramboulage is a lot of fun

(+) "beep beep, ah my car!"

A very fun game. But I'm missing some goal, levels

Brilliant it gives me some burnout meets goat simulator vibes. Pretty funny and satisfying. I like that you can blow up a car with a cookie. I'm not sure why but the audio was only playing for me when I went right to the mouth of the tunnel, then I could hear the "beep beep" "I'm a car" audio which is pretty funny. Nice job

"ok so how do I play?" BOOM! "Good enough" 🤣 I like the idea and it really feels like goat simulator just like @weirdybeardyman mentioned. This was a hilarious break from my tedious homework thank you 😆

I love it! Also getting the goat simulator vibes. Making a car pile was great. I enjoyed that you didn't shy away from letting me enjoy causing as much chaos as I could. You don't really have to work to break this game, it just kind of breaks itself when you poke it enough, which is something more physics simulation-esque games should aspire to.

I found this game pretty fun :D I like how you can make your cone fly with the "power". I guess it's bugged since the best way to accelerate is to spam lmb but I think that makes the game more fun :)
