Drive, and watch out for animals. Or the inevitable void. The theme of the gamejam was 'into the unknown' and our original idea was to make a slightly scary driving game, involving fuel management, escaping from npc cops and skinwalkers, and collecting clues to an FM station via signs, that were partially damaged.

We had planned for these events to take place randomly, making every play slightly different from the previous.

But since this was our first time ever touching anything related to game development, we quickly realised how difficult this would be to achieve in the span of just 48 hours. Still, the experience was awesome and we all learned alot during this experience.

Theme

In a sense, since you are driving towards who-knows-what; but it also meant I had no idea why I was doing anything.

Kinda unknown feeling

It suits the theme

Well the car was driving to the unknown.

cant play on mac

Car driving high speed on driveway, dodging kangaroos and dinosaurs.

Dont understand what the into the unknown is

Enjoyment

It mostly felt confusing. Took a while to figure out what caused the game over screen. I liked that braking wasn't instant, but it felt like being able to look around with the mouse and the radio toggle didn't serve a purpose (although it was cool to look around in the car :) ). The game also felt a bit impossible - the animals could jump out suddenly, or even cause a game over after you had stopped by jumping on your car.

Not much happening

The game has potential but during tries, I drove over a kenguru without being able to stop in right time (I am not a predictor unfortunately)

Pretty boring

Played it 3 times. Perfect 5/7

i could not figure out what i´m doing in the game besides zooming in and out

not really a game?

i killed a kangaroo

Aesthetics

Looked rough overall

I wish there were music

i cannot see the animals and the collision around the car is too big.... but perhaps that's the point? :'D

The 3D art was good, I liked the title screen and the forest surrounding the road. The animal animation felt too strange compared to the rest of the atmosphere.

It is alright

I like the fact that you can turn on the radio

Well there kind of was no story and ..... yeah .

spooky, uncanny. why are there kangaroos?

Good driveway. Kangaroos did flips

Love the silly animations

Innovation

Funny idea

Not being able to control the car aside from braking felt new.

Nothing to add, just driving in the night

Flying kangaroos

Car

The initial idea sounds cool, and the atmosphere does have some nice spookiness to it.

3D
