Ludum Dare 30: Throw things around to get off a deserted island in Driver's License

4159-shot0.png

In Driver's License, a freak car accident has left your character stranded on a deserted island. He is a muscley fellow who can pick items up (even large, heavy ones) and throw them at each other to combine them and try to make what he needs to get off the island. The simple animations and grunting noises the character makes make this funny enough, but the multiplayer element that ties the game to the Connected Worlds theme adds a great touch.


Although the player is alone on this island, they can throw any objects -- basic or crafted -- into the water with a note attached. That object and its note will float to shore in another person's game, and the more items a player throws into the water, the more they'll get back. The multiplayer interaction is indirect, but it's fun to see what messages people send with their items.



Driver's License is available as a Windows download.
