| Alex and her 5 pregnant friends go on a cross country adventure to have as much fun as possible before they give birth.
The game was designed around the theme of pushing the limits. While this may have certain connotations with pregnancy in my genre... I thought it could be used in a far more fun gameplay fashion. Sure, you can push the limits of your resources to balance them and get the highest score possible... but at the same time, your due date is approaching and how far can you push it before the baby comes! Will you chose to play it safe and head there when your water breaks? Or perhaps that festival is good enough to just resign yourself to giving birth in a van on the roadside? Perhaps you'll get stuck racing the final 20kms to the hospital in a desperate gambit to make it there before that baby goes from imminent, to present! |

It has a bug into it
i weezed when read description
This was fun but I feel like I need recommendations. What sort of strats do I need for max points? What events should I be looking out for? How often do I fill up at gas stations? Honestly I'm just looking for advice because I felt a bit lost playing this game at times. I at least have the bare bones down. Pick place, drive there eventually while seeing events along the way.
I eould say the most important thing is to spend your coziness about as often as possible. Getting it back by partyuing or sleeping is reasonably easy and it can help you move larger distances more easily (or get you some better destinations overall)
Yo
Not being very good at English, I struggle with this kind of game. But that didn't stop me from enjoying it.
I like:
-The atmosphere.
-The journey management mechanics
-The scoring aspect
-The replayability of the rogue-like aspect
-The role-playing game aspect with the dice rolling.
Like less.
-I'm really unlucky. lol
-I have trouble distinguishing the different characters when they're talking and there are more than three on the screen. I know the time is limited for a Jam, but I would have appreciated a deeper dive into the characters' stories.
-I don't always understand whether I've used an item or not. Just like I don't understand their uses at all.
I haven't encountered any bugs (unless my bad luck is one of them, lol).
It's a very enjoyable game in terms of its concept and atmosphere. We embark on a road trip with a group of friends who want to enjoy life and have fun. We have good and bad times with them on this little journey, and we're committed to making sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. It brings out the manic side of some and the hotheaded side of others. Its replayability and change of play style are very appreciable. The only thing that saddens me a little is not having been able to get to know them better.
Anyway, I had a lot of fun and I plan to come back to improve my score from time to time. It's a very solid and stable project that you're offering. Thank you for your work and for allowing us to play your creation. Good work. ^_^
i think its bugged i tried to go multiple times to go to a gas station and not once did they go
I don't seem to be able to replicate this issue. What platform are you playing on?
did you press the drive button enough times to cover the distance? You can hover over the odometer to see how far you still have to go. Further trips take more driving.
Haven't jumped in but looks cool! Was this inspired at all by Keep Driving?
Well... I'm not going to say no...
But all in all it's got slightly more in the vein of FTL technically, but the final outcome is pretty different from both.
At the end of the day it is a fun game jam project that I'm glad turned out as well as it did (Curse you whoever let me do a game jam on top of regular dev!)
