you got the backflip and frontflip reversed... i give you some info to help debug: using chrome on windows7 x64 professional with some "under the hood" modifications, like hardware acceleration
Reviews for "Steel Wheels"
I was about to flip over on my wheels when it said I was crushed. I would have liked it better it the game allowed the player to roll and be able to right themselves.
Deceptively simple but fun. The "touch your roof and die" approach dramatically increases the difficulty. One downside is that collision with the towers also causes death, which is just frustrating. The "flip" detection also seems a little strict - if you are jumping from your run up a hill, earning a "flip" score you to rotate all the way to your original orientation angle, which essentially forces the player to choose between a flip with a sloppy tail-drag landing, or abandon the potential flip points and get a good landing. This also seems to be frustrating rather than intentionally just challenging. I like the lack of checkpoints and the focus on gas cans as it requires the ongoing exercise of skill without any fallback mechanism. With a fix to the flip detection and the non-ground collision death, I would certainly increase my score. Overall a fun little concept that just needs some tweaks.
Nice job!
Some hints:
1. Let the car stop before stop the game. I could have taken that fuel =D
2. You could create a new version, where the time passes (changing the colors and the illumination):
2.a. First time, black foreground, orange background
2.b. A motion makes the background go from orange to light blue. The foreground start getting lighter/brighter. The green of the mountain, the color of the truck...
3.c. The afternoon, the sunset, the night, until the sunrise =)
Sorry for my poor English.
cool graphics and I can see where this has the possibility to be a really fun game. The music is annoying after the first few seconds. I like the idea of a point system. How about making it so you can custom your car some how? All and all this is a fun time waster
