Does not Commute Software

Does Not Commute combines clever game design with a humorously haunting story to create a standout mobile application. You control poorly-handling cars trying to drive across the neighborhood. Once you've successfully transported one car, your perspective shifts to another, only this time your drive is impeded by the car you just drove taking the exact path you just did. You're essentially playing against both yourself, as you swerve to avoid the cars you controlled just seconds ago, and the clock, as you must complete all the routes in sixty seconds. This time can be increased by collecting disks on the road, but doing that means potentially running into the cars you drove earlier. It's challenging and compelling, made all the more so with the narrative. Every new car you drive brings with it a sentence or two about its driver. Through these vignettes, the game goes from innocent to strange to dark in a hurry. Mediocre have created a fantastic gaming experience in Does Not Commute, and if you enjoy the challenging gameplay, this app will quickly become one of your favorites.

First off I love how this game is very challenging yet fun. Also I didn't buy the premium at all and I beat it in two days. I wish the story was a bit longer because like I said it took me two days to beat. I have no idea how I did it but I'm in the top 200 for the final score at 212...also I only failed once! There are lots of hidden extra time disks which I think is what got me to a final score of 212. Also in the second city area at the very top right corner there's a secret area that gives you 40 extra seconds! I have to warn you the last level is very hard! I had 300 or so going in but ended up losing 90 seconds even after grabbing all the extra time disks! If you pay attention to the story it makes it more fun, but the last part is very confusing. Anyway now that I've beaten the game there's still lots to do like discovering the hidden secrets and improving your score! Good luck!

Imagine a top-down driving game with a variation on Groundhog Day. You're given a destination and an open-ended neighborhood to drive through, but every subsequent character you control in a set of levels has to drive around your previous cars as you drove them. If you drove like a maniac, you'll have to navigate around that until you move to the next set of levels. This is made much more fun from how crazy the story is, where a marriage disintegrating over an unhealthy Yorkshire Terrier obsession is probably the least outlandish thing that happens, and the cavalcade of increasingly ridiculous plots is glorious to behold. You're on a timer until the end of the game, which even persists between level sets, and you can earn time boosts by exploring. You will need them. You can also use optional modifiers for how your car performs (each car is different), and you can eventually practice without running the clock down. You can't crash into other cars in practice mode, which has benefits and drawbacks if you forget where a car is coming from in a real run. You can buy certain privileges to make finishing the game easier, but you don't have to. If you like this model and you also like pinball, I highly recommend PinOut by the same developers.
