Unstable Business by LukeWaffel

[raw]
made by LukeWaffel for Ludum Dare 49 (JAM)

Story

In this game you play as Peter.

Peter's running an unstable business. You want to know why? Peter sells pizza's, but his customers only order from him because they think he is the coolest delivery driver in the world.

But Peter still needs to earn enough money to keep his business afloat. No money means game over!

Make money by delivering all your customers their pizza. You do this by pressing [Enter] or [Controller A] when you get near their house.

In order to get more clients you have to perform stunts. So pop a wheelie or do a backflip to get more customers!

Good luck!

I really like the mechanics, although it did not occur to me at first that you need to do stunts to gain customers. A really nice way to handle that though! Good job!

@electric Thanks for your honest feedback! You're totally right on the clarity of it all. We had some nasty issues in the last hour that threw some important details out of the window. But you do what you gotta do right? :smile:

Nice game, I like the player character! I would've liked it if there was a penalty for hitting the ground upside down! Good job!

At first I thought you could not land on your head so it was hard to get a lot of score points. When I noticed you cannot die, it was easier to score points. Good job on the driver and the driving mechanics, feels like a solid entry!

The game is pretty intuitive and fun. I appreciate the small details in the animation, like the leaning of the character. I would recommend a more in-depp study of color, just so the elements mesh together in a better way.

Good job!

Pretty fun game. It controls very well and everything is intuitive. The only addition I would add is to show the tricks you've done when you do them. This is still an incredible game. Good job.

The story is fun and you instantly enjoying doing stunts without taking too much care for the person hehe Some sounds effects and music will improve the experience. Good job!

I agreed with the above, the game gimme nice old school vibes. Not quite understood how to pull tricks, though. Quick tut would be nice. Also I think the game may benefit a lot from simple sound of motor engine =) Good entry overall!

Everything works well we were three to play and we had a lot of fun and laugh, too bad there is no music!

This was a fun idea, I think the levels felt a little timid, some larger ramps/jumps would have been cool. The slopes generally felt pretty gentle. Wheelies and flips are always fun :)

I believe that in order for a business to be stable and profitable, business owner needs to properly organize the workflow. It's especially important to optimize the work with documents. Useful information about it can be found in this article https://www.lapshock.com/content-management-software-administration-support-contracts-levels/. It's important to use different software for e-signature and document e-management.
