[dirGames-L] new game : Va Va Voom Driver

[Jay Bibby]

Hi Ben,

I just found out about this list from the IGDA casual games list.
Greetings to everyone. =)

Nice job on the game. Performance seemed good enough, no real problems
on a G4 Mac Powerbook. I do like the idea of building the car from the
frame on up.

It's good to see that you're getting extra mileage from the game
engine you have. Unfortunately, the whole experience was so similar to
the Where Is Matiz game of several months ago, (
http://www.whereizmatiz.com/game/ ), that it was a bit disappointing.

Just my two-cents.

best regards,
