Dodge incoming traffic and pitfalls on the highway is tough enough, but our 1950s greaser protagonist faces an even greater challenge: maintaining his slick hairdo! Quickly switch between the road lanes and collect green hair gel containers to keep his style going strong!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

  • Road Hogs was originally developed for and submitted to the Bigmode Game Jam 2026!
  • Road Hogs is still labeled as a prototype, but if it receives good feedback, I may continue developing it into a full game!
  • (There are still some visual glitches in this version, but once the game jam is over, I will update the game to resolve the issues.)

Hey! The death sound effect sounds little loud almost got a heart attack, but overall its a really solid and working game.
And also the music is great and it really fits the overall tone of the game.
Good job!

Sorry about the jumpscare, but I appreciate the feedback! I'm glad you liked the music, too. Thanks for playing! :D

Really neat little game, art and sound direction are good with a lot of character and charm. Game over was a bit of a jumpscare with audio and abrupt ending. Some sort of once off tool with a cooldown that could help you out of an impossible situation to help extend the run a bit further would have been neat! Well done!

Thanks for the feedback! I meant to include tricks and other mechanics that would allow you to replenish your slickness meter manually, but I didn't have as much time to work on this project as I expected...
