PyWeek - pywii again - feedback

Thought the game had a lot of good hard work and thought put into it. It runs smoothly and very well. However, I seriously don't like collect-em type games.

I really like your game idea and story, but whenever I played, the controls would become so
unresponsive I couldn't enjoy it. The display would become jerky, showing my car at random
angles and positions. I was never able to make it to the city in the northwest without falling in
the water, even if I never seemed to leave the road. It also crashed on me a couple of times. And
this was all using the new version.

Vista bad for opengl 3?

no chipmunk

ok

Fun, but could have been a lot more fun with ... I dunno... I just found I was dying a *lot* out on the road so I just avoided the road which was annoying.

This was pretty neat - I loved being able to drive around the map. I did find it to be rather difficult in that I have no idea how to heal my car, and I can't go very long without getting hurt somehow, and it seems I have to kill a lot of cars to make progress at all. However I probably would have played a lot longer, except I kept gettting an error anytime I'd go near the top middle city:

Great production values though, I love the crazy style of it all. great job!

The game slowly eats my RAM (otherwise I would have given it extra points in production). Otherwise than that, it looks interesting. Aiming is a bit hard, but perhaps that's part of the game. And multicrashes situation have weird physics.

The game is great but it have an error.

README should have pointed out that chipmunk could be compiled from the lib chipmunk directory for those of us not running windows; I discovered it on my own but it wasn't even in the readme as a dep or anything.

Now for the gameplay: driving the car was a little frustrating (hard to go straight/ follow the road). Production was excellent though, story, music, everything, nice work.

nice graphics

Nice graphics!

Loved it. Very hard, needs some way to save progress. I enjoyed the expansiveness of the world, and laughed out loud at the great artwork.
