Not sure how to adjust it, perhaps more immediate controls to the ship? It takes a long time to go up if you're falling down, which slows the overall gameplay. Maybe a speed boost button and nitro pickups?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>After playing a while I got much better, yet still felt the pang of bordem - what keeps interest in taxi mode in GTA? Killing people on the way, scaring the passenger, jumps and shortcuts..? Perhaps it's the lack of reward feedback when dropping each person off and the sometimes difficulty in finding new passengers that holds it back too.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>In any case, still impressive total effort and I appreciate all the ludum dare jokes :)"},{"author_name":"euske","author_uid":"17675","time":"Aug 30, 2015 @ 7:51am","epoch":1440920760,"text":"Nice graphics and audio.

We hope you'll enjoy it!\r\n\r\nThis game is about Ared Mudul, a monster from outer space who _really_ wants to get away from earth. In order to do this, he needs money to buy the Atomic Space Warp-drive. How will he get said money? It's obvious! He converted his space ship into a taxi cab and you'll have to help him get off this planet full of filthy \"hoomans\".\r\n\r\nThe game was written from scratch using Java and LibGDX.\r\nThe entire process was streamed to the awesome livecoding.tv at:\r\n\r\nTeam-Channel:\r\nhttp:\/\/livecoding.tv\/atomicvikings\r\n\r\nMember-Channel:\r\nhttp:\/\/livecoding.tv\/c64gamer\r\nhttp:\/\/livecoding.tv\/metaldemon\r\n\r\nControls: \r\n\r\nArrow keys to move.\r\nSpace closes menus and restarts the game when prompted.\r\n\r\n\"Go transport some hoomans, hooman!\"\r\n","title":"Monster Taxi"}
