Jalopy
Description
Navigate miles and miles of tyre changing, fuel burning, carburettor busting, mud clattering terrain, through night and day, rain and shine. Adapt to whatever the procedurally generated world of Jalopy can throw at you.
Upgrade, maintain and care for your Laika 601 Deluxe motor vehicle. Keep close attention to everything from the state of your tyres, the condition of your engine and even the space in your trunk. Repair each aspect of your scrappy little car and install unique upgrades to deal with the changing world. Everything from cargo weight to the condition of your carburettor will determine how your car performs on the open road.
The rise of capitalism brings an economical conundrum. Scavenge for scraps to make a small return of investment, or become a baron of the open road and smuggle contraband under the eyes of border patrols to make a sizable profit.
Developer Greg Pryjmachuk worked on the Formula 1 franchise from 2009 through to 2014. In late 2014, Greg began work on this new driving simulation featuring the fictional Laika 601 Deluxe car; reminiscent of the East German “Trabbie”, it will need much love and care to keep it going on this memorable road trip!
- New odometer keeps track of the miles you have travelled
- New spray paints available from the Laika dealership to customise both inside and outside of your car
- Car manual has been overhauled to improve functionality – check the weight limit of your car to improve your Laika’s performance
- Scavenging game mechanic has been expanded so that abandoned crate spawn more dynamically so eagle-eyed drivers such as yourself can be the first to spot valuable parts
- New scrap yards added to selected routes – search for spare parts if you can crack the gate
- Games menu remembers saved game and creates a background matching the new area to explore and remind you where you are on your journey
- Various road conditions, oil spillages and pot holes are just some of the new environmental details which add to Jalopy’s realism
- An entirely new tyre system added – players can now better prepare for their trips, with off-road tyres and wet weather tyres affecting grip levels
- New music from musician Jeremy Warmsley which can be played on the car radio or from a play list
- Authentic license plates

Lovely game. Relaxing. Fine minimalism.
I don't get the point of all the complaints about this game. Only one single crash while I played a lot. There are bugs. But nothing gamebreaking. They can be avoided by mostly simple workarounds. The story is not very interesting. I'm just going up and down the available routes and relax. A little bit of trading and maybe smuggling goods for some money. More fixing than pimping the laika to reach the next gas station. Doing things or leave them be. Most time there is solution to solve upcoming challenges. No gas, no money, broken car? You'll find some way. If not it's no problem to restart the current stage and try again. Graphics are beautifull. Soundtrack is ok (I usually don't listen to ingame music...) and sometimes funny. Altogether it creates a very special atmosphere. Did you visit southern/eastern europe with your own jalopy in the 80s/90s? You could sometimes feel like beeing transported back in time when you reach the gas stations or towns in the late night. Beeing more and more bored of most upcoming (mainstream) games I am pleasantly surprised by this game. And if you don't expect the fastest, craziest, most realistic, most complex, whatever!!1! adventure you can have a good time in and arround your laika.

Trabbie simulator, not for everyone
Where is the fun here? Quite simple, if you find Eurotruck simulator or the like boring, then this game is not for you. Otherwise, you'll do your road trip were you have memories of changing the tire of your car under the rain in Germany, and then put some gasoline in your car on the Adriatic coast, In some low poly environment. There is not much more, and that's good this way. So, what do you have in this game: - you have a road from city A to city B - you have a (crappy) car which tend to got malfunctions every 2 km - some kind of mechanic system where you change engine, batteries, ... - you have a RNG which make it hard as fuck or easy peasy - you have some goods to deals along the way - bugs, not blocking, but you will have sometimes to reset your last segment - weird music - Ostolgia With less bugs and maybe a bit more content, this could have been GOTY.

Artsy-Fartsy Driving
There are a lot of things I could say about this game, but Im just going to jump straight at what I believe may be the most helpful for deciding whether or not to buy it. Do you enjoy those artsy-fartsy walking simulators? Jalopy's rogue-light style progression system means there is much more game here than the typical walking simulator, but to me It still feels more like a playing walking simulator than a driving game. I really enjoy the walkies myself, so I really like this game. I actually think I may like it more than I usually like walkies, on account of there still being some actual gameplay here. Its just not good enough gameplay to carry the game all by itself. If you find your self in a pensive mood though, then I can very much recommend this game.
