Mercury Demo

Description:

This is a first pass playtest/demo for Mercury. Eventually this Demo will play exactly like Crazy Taxi, but currently there is no score or timer (these'll come later).

Yellow spheres represent package pickup spots. The red sphere is the package drop off spot.

The jump button in this game should be treated like Ollies in Tony Hawk Pro Skater. Holding it down:

• Charges your jump
• Boosts your speed
• Attaches you to a nearby surface (like a wall)
• Attaches you to a nearby car

Additionally, if you time tapping the jump button right, you can get a "perfect jump" (immediately jump with max charge) off of walls and cars.

Known Issues:

• No real delivery UI, other than some debug text for when you've picked up and dropped off packages (Jobs)
• TOONNSSS of traversal edge cases (in many cases literal edge cases involving corners)
• Camera needs some polish
  • Needs some kind of turn/look acceleration
  • Looking around while attached to a wall reveals some camera offset edge cases I'm not handling well
