I love the voice lines
Retr0id on HNLovely little game! I also appreciate the meme references.
SCPlayz7000 on HNThis is great! Whats the tech stack? I started thumping cars but then got into an infinite spiral I couldn’t get out of.
YPCrumble on HNThis is pretty hilarious. :D Feels like a combination of Untitled Goose Game and Goat Simulator. Vibe-coded? It's pretty impressive.

On my desktop, On Firefox, I just got a uniform blue screen. On Chrome, I could turn left or right, but that was all. The W, S, and C keys didn't work.
rickydroll on HNSound isn't working in Firefox on Linux, but otherwise very fun. The only thing it's missing are Neil's favorite traffic cones ;) Also glad that Neil is getting the protection he…

How does car dunking trigger the achievement?
From 1 comment
Well it's funny nonetheless and a nice little homage to Family Guy. Also, how does the car dunking function? I've dropped two cars into pools now whilst on fire and still no…
