Jalopy

me lembra muito o dia q eu fui lá em ponta grossa buscar um chevette todo lascado com muito cigarro dentro

很烂，升级商店的文本全是XXXXXXXXX，还经常会出现付了钱结果物品消失的BUG，作者也不修，要不是以前看逆风笑玩过，肯定不会买的

I actually had moments where I enjoyed this game and I can see where the developers have put in thought to convey the overall intent with the game, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to anyone else to play. In this game, you play some guy who takes his dad's beat up car to transport goods across different towns. The gameplay loop involves driving between towns, collecting some stuff along the way (that you find on the side of the road), selling the items found for money, upgrading your car so you can travel longer distances, and then repeat. Firstly, you have to put up with non-intuitive controls to drive the car and get around the world, which can make the gameplay quite frustrating. Eventually I think I got used to it and got enjoyment for overcoming the jankiness but I wouldn't want anyone else to go through the initial frustrations that I had. Secondly, driving can be boring and the world can feel quite empty, so expect to question why you are even putting yourself through this. After I got through a few the first 2 towns I actually looked forward to improving my car and seeing how far I could go, but at some point I also told myself that I saw enough of the game to want to continue the game until the end. Lastly, even though there are some mechanics around upgrading your car and tracking prices of items in different towns to maximize the amount of money you can earn from transporting goods, I don't think they're that compelling enough to push most people through the other shortcomings in the game that I already mentioned. All in all, I wouldn't recommend this game even though I got some enjoyment out of it.

I had an old childhood friends brother playing this locked away for hours when I use to come around to their house. I always wondered if it was a good game? Well I know my answer now, NO.

Plays as a simulator of being in Russia during the 1980s... or the USA in the 1930s, but especially Germany from 1950's, 1960's, 1970's, 1980's as it is set in. During the short tutorial you are instructed to place each component of your engine into your engine space, even having you install the tires. There is no excuse for not understanding how to repair your Jalopy, as it is quite apparent. Each car assembly part has 3 of 3 durability, and each has an easily displayed description on how it works. 1. Anyone saying "oof" is running into objects or not driving appropriately. 2. Your tires have a clear expected estimated mileage. Your tires and engine wears down as you drive. 3. If you run out of brain cells, you will run your Jalopy into the ground. That's on you! 4. How dumb are gamers today that don't know to refuel your own vehicle? 5. Scavenge parts from derelict cars on the side of the road. 6. Find boxes and crates on the side of the road, use a crowbar to pry off locks. Sell the goods at the next gas station. 7. You'd have to be a complete moron to not understand how to play this game. 8. If your car gets stuck, you can push your car any direction like a bulldozer. 9. Buy retail goods on sale at the gas station, and sell them at the next gas station. 10. Probably do not carry banned goods past the border patrol. I haven't tried, but I bet you can. 11. If you run out of gas halfway to nowhere or have a catastrophe, simply: get in your car; press Escape, and select to "Return Home". At home you can repair your vehicle, refuel it, and start a new journey. Pretty fun game! Feels like I am experiencing what it was like during the great depression.

I bought this game some time ago. I enjoyed it, it's one of those games where you can shut off your brain for some time and enjoy the feeling of the imminent collapse of the eastern bloc. Smuggling goods across borders and dealing with prices to keep your janky car functional is pretty neat, BUT. The publisher more or less stole the game from the original developers, and therefore means that the game is likely never getting updated ever again. Shame, honestly. If you want to play it, go ahead. But do not get your hopes up that it will receive any updates.

Jalopy ist so ein Spiel, bei dem man am Anfang gar nicht genau weiß, warum es einen so fesselt – und ein paar Stunden später denkt man plötzlich über das Leben nach, während man den Vergaser repariert. Die Grafik ist simpel, fast schon rau, aber genau das passt perfekt zur Stimmung. Man fühlt sich wirklich wie auf einer langen, leicht kaputten Reise durch Osteuropa, irgendwo zwischen Hoffnung, Rost und schlechtem Benzin. Was Jalopy für mich besonders macht, ist die Atmosphäre. Es passiert oft nicht viel Spektakuläres, und genau das ist der Punkt. Du fährst, reparierst dein Auto, handelst ein bisschen, hörst dem Onkel zu und denkst über deine Entscheidungen nach. Es ist entschleunigend, manchmal fast melancholisch, aber nie langweilig. Die kleinen Probleme – Motorschäden, Geldmangel, kaputte Teile – fühlen sich überraschend bedeutungsvoll an. Klar, technisch ist das Spiel nicht perfekt und hat seine Ecken und Kanten. Aber ehrlich gesagt gehört das irgendwie dazu. Jalopy ist kein Hochglanz-Spiel, sondern eher ein Erlebnis. Wer Action oder klare Ziele sucht, wird hier wahrscheinlich nicht glücklich. Wer aber Lust auf eine ruhige, atmosphärische Reise hat, bei der das Unterwegssein wichtiger ist als das Ankommen, sollte dem Spiel definitiv eine Chance geben.

Это максимально "вайбовая" игра: берешь чаек, садишься вечерком, включаешь свою музыку и катаешься по Европе с дядей (хотя можно и без него). По дороге будут случаться разные происшествия: от пробитого колеса до пустого бака. Поэтому советую всегда возить в багажнике канистру, ремкомплект и запасное колесо (а лучше три). Если купить багажник на крышу, места станет гораздо больше, и обязательно возьмите ящик инструментов. Машину можно и нужно улучшать: менять фары, ставить улучшенную приборную панель и так далее - всё узнаете по ходу. Также авто можно красить и обклеивать наклейками на свой вкус. Чтобы на всё это были деньги, по пути вам будут попадаться коробки с лутом: вином, сосисками и прочим добром. Важный совет по экономике: цены везде разные. Если в Венгрии сосиски стоят 0.5 марки, то в Болгарии они могут стоить уже 3 марки. С вином та же ситуация: в одном городе оно уйдет за 4, а в другом - за все 60. О багах: за всё время прохождения я встретил только один. На блокпосте я отдал документы, мне их не вернули и продолжали требовать. Поэтому будьте осторожны: не закрывайте окно сразу после того, как передали документы ( я думаю, что этот баг случился из-за этого) Локации разнообразные (генерируются рандомно): мне попадались пещеры, сломанные мосты, затопленные дороги и горки (горки порой бесят). Графика специфическая - игра не про картинку, но выглядит вполне приятно и играбельно. По скидке однозначно рекомендую брать. И маленький секрет: [spoiler] в отелях можно стучать в двери - с небольшим шансом вам могут просунуть снизу немного марок. [/spoiler]
