I will not bash this game. I managed to complete it and it was worth it :)
3 because there is no music and replay value is zero.

This is a difficult game. DON'T PLAY IF YOU DON'T LIKE DIFFICULT GAMES.
Child Protective Services is coming to check in, and you forgot your child at the supermarket! The roads are icy and everything else is covered in a foot of snow. Use the arrow keys to drive, but be sure to move fast! You only have one minute before CPS comes.
There's a different between hard and barely playable. The controls need to be reworked, the art should be improved and the sounds..where are they?
I just want you to know that unlike most people here, I have a lot of respect for you for trying to make a game. Hell, I wish I had the time, skills and knowledge that are required for making a decent game. Since art doesn't seem like your strong side, I suggest sticking to programming and finding an artist to work with. A lot of people here are working together to make stuff. Give it a try.
Good luck in the future :D

Thanks. I understand. Like I said before, It's barely playable in certain circumstances, especially at low framerates. I don't have the knowledge yet to get around this, but I will hopefully do better in the future. I agree with you about the artist. I'm thinking for the next LD I'll do the jam and work with a musician and artist, as I'm not great at either.
Well, what can I say? I understand why this has the lowest rating of anything in the Ludum Dare 28. It's nice you at least managed to make it into the collection. I think your biggest flaw was how there was so little control over yourself. I couldn't understand where I was going. You also needed to have some music in this.
The artwork was pretty bad. It was just basic simple lines with no shading. That's something I always look for in design. It doesn't need to be that difficult. Does the contest mean you only get one child?
purefloat responds:
The relation to the theme is that you only get one minute. I completely agree with you as far as music and art go, but I hardly worked on the game Saturday giving me much less time than I needed for a fully polished game.
Because of some programming flaws, control is much more difficult at lower framerates. I find that it's almost unplayable if a lot of other things are running in the background.
Thanks for writing an actual review :)
Fail
It doesnt even work i tried "clicking anywhere to begin" but i cant begin -.-
purefloat responds:
Can you let me know what browser/OS you're playing on? I've tested in Chrome, Firefox, and IE, and Safari on both OSX and Windows, and it works fine.
You could try updating your browser or trying another, but it sounds like you've already made up your mind.
too hard
purefloat responds:
Astute observation.
