Jalopy

Jalopy is the simulation of hearts and pain: car lovers with nostalgia for East Germany experience fun, the rest probably more hate.

Just like the real car, Jalopy teaches you to always be collected. If you leave your engine running while you’re rummaging through the roadside junk for stuff to sell – it can easily burn through half of your gas. And if you run out of fuel and have to walk to the nearest gas station – don’t forget to take your wallet with you, or your day will get much, much worse. [Issue#230, p.58]

Jalopy is a game with very interesting ideas but a very poor execution. We'd like to think the biggest issues are going to be fixed –then it'll be a game you should try.

Quotation forthcoming.

O čem je tato hra? Jednoduše, máté svého "trabanta" a jezíde po světě. Předem jedno varování, tahle hraje ve velmi předběžném přístupu takže s tím že by jste si hodiny a hodiny jezdili po světě? Ne. Hru jsem zakoupil prakticky na začátku vývoji. Trochu mne zklamalo že v tu dobu jste mohli projet jen dvěmi státi což bylo Německo a ČSFR, ale postupně se zde přidávají země apod. Což je prsotě super. Jednoduše, jezdíe po světě s trabantem, s trabantem který si můžete upravit podle vašich přání, nejvíce se mi líbí styl hry, je jednoduchý a krásný, když jedete Německem,ČSFR, Maďarskem, je to takový že vám všechno připadá stejný, ale pak přijde Jugoslavie, prostě krása. Nejlepší zážitek je když si jedete po ČSFR a jste uprostřed ničeho a najednou vám váš trabant zastaví a vy netušíte co s ním je. Tak tam 10 minut hledáte problém. Až potí jsem zjistil že benzín je trochu duležitý, hlavně kanistr sebou. Nebo když vám to prsotě za žádnou cenu nechce nastarvoat ... Baterka...

This is very accurate rating of 65 its not the best very glichy and lack of effort

Jalopy is a game that keeps you on your feet always, even while sitting in your car. The game involves transporting your uncle all the way to Turkey in a beaten up car. It's up to you to try and keep the car running, otherwise you will need to start again. Each time you attempt the run you'll learn new tricks, gain new upgrades and maybe one day you'll finally reach the destination. As someone who enjoyed playing games like Euro Truck Simulator I found this game very fun. So if you're a fan of similar games like that you'll probably enjoy Jalopy as well. I've seen this game go through early access up to the final release but I've got to say it still has it's bugs. I expected that the bugs would have been squashed after being in early access for as long as it was. It's like they left it behind as it is. The graphics aren't anything special, but in a way they do feel somewhat unique to the game. Soundtrack was pretty cool, listening to it all on the radio as I battled the hills. After beating the game I am now in the process of speedrunning it and attempting to get the world record, wish me luck.

In general, it's a boring game where you only go straight, occasionally you have to improve the parts of the car, and the world design is bad, I don't recommend you try it.

It's like a game that messed up while trying to do something new. The mechanics are terrible, the graphics are bad even for its genre, it has a lot of bugs and the story is boring.
