The Best Drifting Devil Slayer
A downloadable game for Windows
GTA 2 - Like created for the GamesPlusJam 2021 over a week, by a 1 man team (FanieG) from sunny South Africa (with a little help from friends). Game was created in Unity for Windows and requires a keyboard and mouse to play. The game uses several free sounds from freesound.org, the unity asset stores, and sound packs from previous jams entered. The music is by Edward van der Merwe from Cape Town. The art was all made for the jam, with the exception of some of the enemy sprites, which is from a previous jam entered, and the 3d car model used which was a free asset. The Toon shader for the cars was provided by Darren Allison from Mbombela.
The game features:
* Insane driving action combined with classic 2D top-down-shooting.
* Enter and Exit any vehicle.
* Guns and grenades to bring down the underworld
* Dash Mechanic to get you out of a tight spot fast!
* Rudimentary day/night cycle enhanced with Unity 2D lighting.
* 3 enemy types - posing a threat both on feet or when behind the wheel.
* Highscore system (local) - Get them flowers and evade the devils and demons.
* Mutable sound - cause sound design is hard (earphone users warned)
* Parody and satire for humor (there is an option in the main menu to remove this from your game - we don't judge and don't mean to offend - you have the choice)
* We hear bunnies like to hang aroung their "JamesPlusGames" easter eggs (Parody mode only).

Wow, really fun. Love the way the car handles and the juicy way you kill and get killed, loved the way things behave when you hit them as well.
Really good, congrats
Thanks for taking the time to play and comment. Appreciate it.
Honestly one of the funnest jam games I've played in a long time. I was shocked at how engaging the driving was, and kept getting surprised at different game mechanics (just going about my day killing peeps and BOOM...day/night cycle).
I agree with the other comment here, I didn't understand the score system initially. I also wish I could see my car's headlights on the ground a little.
Great job, great tutorial, and most importantly... a jam game that's actually fun.
Appreciate the kind words and thanks for taking the time to play and comment. The scoring system is a hot mess but wasn't sure how to communicate it without a wall of text, which I tried to avoid. Lesson learned and I'll have to rethink it a bit post-jam. Thanks for suggestions and feedback.
The graphics are awesome !
Smashing enemies with the cars feels really nice and the music fits well;
I just don't understand what the pink number in the top right corner is for , it does not goes up nor down.
A little health bar or something could really be useful , having only one health is pretty harsh.
The particles effects are awesome !
I noticed a problem tho , when killed , we can still dash.
@SkarOps - thanks for taking the time to play and comment. The number is your score. Kill the little black devils with a car to create flowers and the collect the flowers on foot to get points. Tried my best to describe it in the tutorial on the playable main menu, but it obviously wasn't clear enough. Thanks for catching the dash-on-dead bug, I will update it in post jam versions if I decide to continue this. Thanks again for playing!!!!
