Finished my MAGS entry for this month. (Thanks very to @Stupot for the deadline extension - it's definitely a better game when there are sound effects!) Hope you enjoy!  :-D

AGS DATABASE ENTRY: https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/2676-mad-jack-breakdown-shakedown

MAD JACK: BREAKDOWN SHAKEDOWN is an action comedy achievement-based puzzle game.

In a post-apocalyptic free-for-all desert wasteland where everyone still somehow has gasoline (a world not remotely like that of a beloved film franchise) Mad Jack's muscle car breaks down. Using only items from a junkyard, Jack must find a way to escape being stranded and continue his thrilling, heartwarming journey to his destiny (presumably somewhere else in the desert).

Features:
*Zany vehicles
*Fire
*Car wrecks
*Perfectly believable and irreproachably realistic inventory combinations ;)
*Rollicking rock music by @Eric Matyas
*Multiple ways to "win" or "lose" (but is this really the point?)
*Tons of achievements and inventory to unlock (this could certainly never be the real point, definitely not)
*One (1) playable room
*Breathtaking ultra-HD 480x270 resolution
*Endless hours of gameplay (if you decide to never stop playing)

@4KbShort Just played The Roadtrip. Fun and a little creepy! I also like the art. It feels simplistic but effective, and embraces the low resolution instead of trying to fit in too much detail. A quick, enjoyable game.

And that ending! Made me both laugh and shudder a little. (laugh)

One bug - on the credits screen the cursor disappears, even after pressing esc to open the GUI and quit dialog, so the program is difficult to close. Seems like it switched to a cursor mode with no supplied graphic.

Nice work!

Great job on the entry! I gave it a shot. No big errors or bugs. A lot of trial and error, but nothing too difficult. It's nice that I can "lose" and keep going though. I believe I finished it as I was able to drive off so that's a thing too! Wonderful work!

I played both games and cast my vote.

The Roadtrip
Spoiler
This game really reminded me of Jumping Jack Flash from a few years ago. Decent graphics and some puzzles to solve. Overall a good experience.

Mad Jack

Awesome graphics and animations! Really funny effects and good idea. I had a good time trying out the different obstacles and seeing the response of the different vehicles. It took about 5-7 minutes to lose interest once I got an idea of the game

Here are my thoughts this month.

The Roadtrip by 4KbShort
Spoiler
The game has a creepyness to it, but the mood is broken by comments breaking the fourth wall and talking directly to the player. The giant fuse was amusing, and I liked the shack in the woods. Pretty straightforward in gameplay and puzzles.

Mad Max Jack: Brakedown Shakedown by RootBound
Spoiler
This one-room game kept me entertained for a while. I had fun trying to combine items and using them on the vehicles. I haven't found all the achievements yet, and after finding most of them, I kept wishing that I could control which vehicle should appear next in order to try out my ideas. But the game deserves credit for effective graphics, nice Matyas music and satisfying sound effects.

Brakedown Shakedown, because there are more puzzles and longer playtime than in the other game.
