How does your game fit the theme?
You work as a normal taxi driver until the tornado comes, and you have to escape the tornado while rescuing the people that are left outside in the danger
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
We did everything from scratch, from the sprites to the audio

Really cool game, the graphics and audio are very good
Very fun and beautifully designed. Two small suggestions though: increase how quikcly the car turns, and make more people passengers since sometimes i would drive for a minute without finding anyone
Thank you for your feedback. We thought of making the steering initialy a little bit harder for It to be then upgraded, we've seen the same problem with other people for thie game so we would have had to make a Better steering wt the start. For the passegger we picked a random number and didn't really have time to check It It was adeguate.
Very well put together, but a little hard to tell where to do everything.
Hard to make the turns without going on the sidewalk. But it's a great port of the genre to the theme. Really clever. Had fun!
You can upgrade the steering by going to the mechanic to turn faster
Ohh didn't know that gonna give it a try!
A little tricky to control the car, but spot on with the theme. Very creative game!
I really like the unique art style! Nice game!
Its a shame the web version has problems. The tornado did in fact not appear and i couldn't figure out how to pick up passengers. But the controls of the taxi were nice!
Pretty sad indeed, no idea on why that happens since I exported the same version for both (I only removed the video settings in the web version)
The initial steering is a bit too challenging.
But the game is really fun! Refilling the gas tank did not work for me, so it kinda broke the game. Not really in a position to download games right now, so I was stuck with the web version.
Great game overall, the feeling, music, controls, everything was pretty tight. Reminded me of early GTA games.
The Steering upgrade is the best upgrade hands down. I was reversing a tiny bit and a person came near to my taxi and they got the splat haha
I like the feeling before the storm occurs
Just a normal day driving people around and getting some cash then BOOM
Giant evil rain cloud
I drive crashing into peoples 10/10 game
Great game, You work so so hard, then you just run over some people and you are back to being poor :D.
it really is calm before the storm hits. Excellent submissions well done
What I liked about the game: Interesting, original idea; fun gameplay; the game is well polished.
What I would change: I think it's really hard to steer on the first level, although I'm definitely a terrible taxi driver :) It took me a long time to get used to the controls.
Overall, great job, I really liked the game!
We tried making the first levels a bit bad to incentivize upgrading, next time we'll make the first levels a bit more playable :)
Nice controls, looks and feels really good, fun game and great job!
There's some really nice polish here, especially with the camera zoom when lifting off the gas and hitting pedestrians. Great submission i had a lot of fun :)
Fun game! I am apparently a very bad taxi driver, hit WAY more passengers than I picked up! Thanks for the fun :)
Liked it. car movement is there and smooth. Art style is great. When you crash on somebody it feels like you actually hit them :D. Nice job. Good Luck!
Very nice, I like the car movement at high speed (and the camera effect). Its a bit hard to control at lower speeds. I couldnt figure out how to refill fuel at the fuelstation.
The gas station is on the bottom right of the map, and to refuel you need the amount of money based on how much fuel you wanted. If you click 10%, it's going to fill 10% of the max of your fuel tank, and make you pay $13. The refill button, gives you the max fuel you can get at that moment.
This is the map if you had troubles finding the gas station. (I highlighted it for you)
Thanks! :D
Good job, feels a lot like the good old GTA.
I've learned that a human life is worth 15 bucks and that taxis steer like trucks.
Found it hard to get passangers.. other than that, absolutely amazing job! very fun
