It took a bit to figure out how to move forwards, but I managed to reach the top in the end :) Personally, I found the QA WS controls to be a bit too close. Maybe QA ED or QE AD going horizontally instead would be more comfortable. However, this could just be a me problem. The UI animations are awesome and the overall polish is very good. Good game!
Really good game, love the idea ! It's a bit simple but well made so well done, i think it's a strong participation :)
This brings back some flash game vibes!
I wonder why you needed an FPS display :D
Great game!
cool idea! but unforgiven, was a bit hard for me :(
The ideas are pretty great, though those fuel cells are a bit too bouncy even on easy, was hard to get a good grasp of how fast I could go and which size the wheels needed to be for them to not fall, still feels pretty fun overall.
Wild concept, fun mechanics, hard but expectedly so. Well done!
This was excellent! The number of controls was a bit daunting, but the concept is super unique, and the execution was great.
Very difficult, but I love the idea and the execution, great job
Loved the way you decided to display the UI elements, super creative! This game did make me lose a few hairs tho, but despite that its a good time!
Wow I like the challenges the game sets for me! Hard to start. Harder to master!
This is a very clever interpretion of the theme. Great job!
This is pretty amazing! I wasn't very good at it, but the mechanics all made sense and were very polished. I love the implementation of theme, I love the vibes, I love the "wah wah waaaaaah," it's a ton of fun even when you're failing like me! Good work all around!
Oh this is probably one of my favorites so far. You really took the scaling theme and used it to enhance an already fun genre that meshes with your vision. It took me a bunch of tries to even understand what I was doing, but once I did, I started really enjoying it. I could see myself coming back to this after the jam. Extra points for the difficulty settings.
Glad you liked it :) Definitely could have tweaked the difficulty more though as well as an in game explanation on how / why to keep your fuel cells close
Took me a second to understand what type of game I'm playing, I started driving and failed immediately a bunch of times, but after I understood how to manage my fuel I just had to get to the top!
Very enjoyable!
Consider checking out our game? :D
Super neat idea! Love the UI, the art and the feel of the whole game. It's really hard, but really satisfying!
Beautiful game! A bit hard for me though.
I really liked everything about your game! It's super polished & the art and music give a great space vibe. I thought the game was pretty difficult and I was playing on easy mode, but I thought that it was also very creative and a good challenge.
really fun, i really enjoyed the physics on this... kinda reminds me of hill climb racing and bad piggies

Wow very impressive! definitely needed the controls on the screen, as it takes a few goes to figure out how to play without reading any instructions XD, so that was a good call! The visuals are really unique and interesting, and so is the gameplay - genuinely so fun! Doesn't feel too unfair, constantly feels like the perfect amount of challenge. Would've been good if I could restart with spacebar rather than the mouse, but really good job!
Didn't even think about the keyboard in the menus till after I uploaded. Oops.
Thanks for playing :)
hey cool game! very creative way to incorporate scaling, I did get a bit demotivated to try and beat normal mode because I kept forgetting about the fuel (maybe a warning could have been a thing?) but also because it's a very hard game overall
atmosphere-wise I felt immersed, very cool submission :D
I think I was swayed by not wanting it to be too easy and you're finished in 1 run but I clearly over-corrected lol.
it's a very common concern for sure, balancing a game jam game is difficult and an art in and of itself so it's very subjective
I'm sure some people found the game a lot easier than I did so don't worry too much about that hahah
Once I got the hang of it (and switched to easy) it was really enjoyable! I had a great time trying (and failing) to scale Olympus Mons
