what do you like about jalopy?

[Pele Peruano]

hello guys, I'm a big fan of jalopy and I'm thinking about creating my own game, one similar to jalopy, I need help understanding some concepts.
What makes jalopy so special?
What do you like most about driving in Jalopy compared to other games?
Do you care about Jalopy's story when you play?
What do you think is what Jalopy needs to be better?

If you answer these questions it would help me a lot for my progress. thanks guys

1. I feel like this concept and general style wasn't really ever tried before, and I personally love the atmosphere of the game - It's just a unique experience that makes everything fit so well - the music, gameplay, graphics, story, everything fits together like a puzzle. I haven't had the opportunity to re-experience something like this again.

2. The simplicity. Anyone can get into it. No shifting gears, no clutch, no stalling. Just accelerate, break, and steer. Although I would've really liked a manual gearbox option & mouse steering.

3. Of course, the story is in my opinion the most important part in this game. It may not be interesting to everyone, and may seem a bit generic at times, but I feel like it doesn't get the recognition it deserves.

4. Less bugs, more intricate cities and smaller rural towns that might pop up every now and then, more interactions, more life - really anything that could bring the game to life a bit more because it feels very eerie at times (especially at night).
Once again, I would personally love a more complex car system in general - more parts, maybe screws & bolts, more wear factors, better car physics, manual gearbox, all of those.

Everything I've mentioned in point 4. represents in one way or another something I would absolutely love to add to the game. My general wish is to one day cause a small revival of this game, nothing big, but just enough to attract attention to it again, and maybe help fuel some attention to MinskWorks' new game, which is similar to Jalopy


Good luck on your game!
