Game on, people! This is the score to beat in Time Attack mode. It's 20 words long and takes a while. Maybe I should add a "quick cruise" mode that is just 1 or 2 random words long

This is a pretty chilled out desolate wasteland driving experience, if I do say so. Also, I learned the hard way that you can perform a high speed dismount from your car! I watched helplessly as my ride shot off into the blackness. I followed the glimmer of its headlights as the sun went down, then died cold and alone in the weird desert woods. This is a good time.

OH MY GOD YES!

This game is hilarious and weird and I love it. The sound and VO work is so funny Also nice use of that song. Catchy and well matched to the game.

This game is very zen. I made it really far, and didn't seem to die after being ghosted a few times. I found the analog stick on my 360 controller to not always quite go exactly the direction I wanted, but it didn't matter because I was zoning out to the sweet dot gobbler cher cover song and gobbling dots. The animations and that dot gobbler's face are super good. I especially love the ghost walks and their scary frowning faces. Well done

Excellent, I hope you like it! Either way, I am interested in your thoughts. I hope it's fun! Also, just posted a quick hotfix #2 (There was an unobtainable Word Book, which made Time Attack unbeatable. Now fixed in v1.2)

FYI y'all, I've dropped a hotfixed v1.1 on the itchio page. v1.1 has the following fixes: FIXED - When in Just Cruisin' mode, you still get time bonus! FIXED - Sometimes jump length display sticks until next jump FIXED - Taxi stand sign typo (read "Somehwat" instead of "Somewhat") FIXED - sometimes game menu or game over sounds were really high pitched FIXED - A few or the Baysien ramps had disorienting camera angles ADDED - Ghost Cabs for easier re-orientation during a car reset Ghost Cab shows you not only where you were when you reset, but how your poor taxi died (e.g. if you spun out and flipped, your ghost is also upside down, twirling and fading into the heavens with a sweet transparent Ghost Taxi material). It's mostly there as a further re-orientation reference so as to not confuse the player when the reset after a wipe out. Taking a break for real now (and by taking a break I mean I am going to keep playing this game because I love it dearly)

Hey thanks, atte! I had SO much fun making this. Yay, glad to hear it! Thanks Spoiler: It's REALLY REALLY FUN to play* I hope you've got an XBox controller, as it's most fun with that analog joystick as the steering control. *according to me

Done! https://whilefun.itch.io/cruisin-for-something Now for some well deserved rest

Down to the wire! Building my gold jam build right now (and creating screenshots and junk!)

First build posted: https://itch.io/jam/wizard-jam-2016/rate/68424 Will update tomorrow evening with the final 1.0 version

That video!

Haha, oh my word. This game, and that dot-gobblin' face!

This looks really, really good! I love the animations of the smaller rats. And those Rat King arms flopping around. Oh man!

Oh wow, this looks great

In lieu of giant invisible walls, I have opted for quarter pipes surrounding the city. And since I added quarter pipes, you bet your bottom dollar I also added quarter pipe taxi tricks: https://twitter.com/whilefun/status/734232633786261504 The Driverside Trunk Pop 360 is my specialty (also it turns out tracking cumulative rotation in Unity is hard, so the angles and rounding might be weird depending on direction and number of rotations! )

some sick boost exhaust flames

Ok, so here's a video clip showing a few things from today's progress: https://twitter.com/whilefun/status/733798408994066432 VO work GUI text for point-get things Distance meter for jumps in progress Jump results and points based on hang time and distance (i think, might have forgot distance, will add it *right now*) Edit: Also improved rollover detection, so it is cancelled if wheels get back on the ground FUN!

Thanks for the kind words everybody. I am having a lot of fun with this game Also, I am happy to report that apparently you can get sick enough air to land upside down on the roof: I guess I'd better put a secret collectable up there in case someone manages to land on their wheels

Hey so I've been doing some more fun things today: https://twitter.com/whilefun/status/733528032019763200 I got rollover detection working, and managed to complete a SICK Ultra-Boost jump when trying to record the rollover detection. This is one of my most goofy fun games ever. <3 I've decided on a rollover assistance graphic, at least:

I got my Michael Bay Ramps working https://twitter.com/whilefun/status/733014165544173568 THIS IS SO FUN!

Woah, this is getting super cool looking!

On mobile, sometimes the loads of gifs make the experience a dire one. Great for web though, and I love the format to show off motion and stuff.

Working on some sexy camera angles for the main menu. Going for a kind of Cruisin' USA and Gran Turismo vibe I hope this thread isn't too giffy for you all

Letters are all done. Didn't need Y and Z, but figured I'd add them in case this list gets bigger
