Absolutely loved the game. First run I had a horrible score, second one was amazing once I got a hang for the wonky car-with-butter-wheels physics which are perfect for this game. I had quite a bit of fun!
Good effort, and unique idea :)
Nice game. It is surprisingly fun! Also, this is my first game jam. It would be cool if you rated and commented. Any comments on the actual gamepage is double nice. :D https://itch.freezing.top/jam/brackeys-14/rate/3851809
the audio wasnt working other than the tire screech until i used the controller as player 2, then i heard the music haha
the game was fun but i don't know what blitz activated means, other than driving thru a course in a really short time
Unfortunately the audio issues popped up too late for us to fix them :(
A blitz score doubles the benefits of a STRIKE
10+next two scores to 20+next four scores
This is a hilarious yet super entertaining game, love it!
Thats really funnn!! the laggy bouncy physics is awesome and makes the game really hard to play! I bet u can beat the highscore in our submission! would love if u can check it out!
This is hilarious and a lot wacky fun. Great idea and the car physics and bounce are super. It was weird, the 1st time I ran it there was audio, but subsequent times the voice over and audio wasn't there. Not sure what I did differently or if it is just a bug.
Regardless a bit of music would be good too...
Great work with the models, track and follow camera!
Thanks for playing!
The audio is definitely a bug that I was trying to squash the last couple hours of the game. There's even an entire music track I wrote that seems to only play on certain computers ):
That is mad frustrating. I am going to try it on a few other devices to see if I can hear it. I spotted that you submitted with 28 mins to go though and so bet the stress was on...
Such is jam life! I was definitely cranky pulling an all-nighter at the end (that I'm sure my teammates can attest to lol), but looking back that's the kind of experience that gives jams shape haha.
Also I appreciate it! Definitely let me know if you find anything specific - I think it might be related to FMOD not loading large banks properly on web target (even after switching to async bank loading), but I could have sworn we loaded similar (and even larger banks) in a previous jam with no problem.
Solid controls, the wonkyness of the car is honestly perfect imo. Just wish there was some audio
I had a ton of fun playing this! It is very enjoyable. I tried my hardest to get a 300, but I suck!
I had a blast playing this one! Really fun. Congrats!
gameplay was a great amount of fun, some small camera tweaks and other minor improvements and i could absolutely see this as a really enjoyable party game with some friends. awesome job!
Really fun concept! Controlling a car as the bowling ball felt surprisingly natural, and the physics gave it some satisfying weight. I could definitely see this expanded into a full arcade style game. A couple times I felt the camera could’ve been smoother but honestly that didn’t stop me from enjoying it. Great work!
O this is very creative. I would love to see a full game from this idea.
I had a lot of fun with yours, probably most of all the games I've tried so far! I didn't try the multiplayer but very impressive to have that functionality built in for a 1 week game jam. I did notice the camera position alway feels a little offset and the physics were quite floaty but was nothing near a turn off for me. Awesome stuff 👍
this is a cool game idea
I love this little game! Can't wait for Bowling Car to make it in the next Twisted Metal season.
Great game i really liked it but i had a bug where if i played a set and wanted to play the same difficulty i just couldnt
Nice idea - some good challenges. The audio was a bit annoying after a while, and I had a couple of lockups/camera issues. That being said, there's a game in here, kind of minigolf bowling with cars!
This was a lot of fun! The first set of levels was a little too easy, but the following ones added some nice challenge. And the "blitz" strike added a nice extra layer to the game.
Innovation for this game is off the charts, increable work lads. Only complaint is the audio is a bit too loud and repetative.
