The game has to be full screen to play. Mute tab to mute music... sorry.
Left/Right or A/D. Space bar to lift legs. R to restart.
The foliage (GREEN stuff) breaks your car. The fire (RED stuff) will hurt you. The dinos will hurt you and your car.
A physics based game that tests the limits of caveman automotive technology, and hip joints.
So much work needs to be done to make this a complete game, but for my first Jam entry, I'm kind of proud. I am deeply sorry for the music... I was in a rush!
I was inspired by the QWOP genre of games. I did have cool ideas that would have been a lot more conceptually interesting, but then I also have Windmill Willy. He has lopped his way into my heart, and refuses to leave. I have accepted this union.

Nice job!
But I felt sometimes that I couldn't move enought.
The first level my cart exploded and I just walked to the finish, is that supposed to happen?
Any case, I like the spinning leg gimmick.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm not sure if I agree about the music though, after listening to it for so long!
The movement is certainly... unconventional..? I wish I could've had time to explore more 'funny' levels that maybe weren't as frustrating, but I had to stop making the levels to finish the jam.
Haha, yep. A tutorial would be helpful eh?
The foliage breaks your car, the fire breaks you, and the dinos break both. You don't need your car to finish, but you do need to be alive.
That caveman is very flexible. :P
My "car" or whatever broke on the first level, idk why. XD
I agree with LindenHoltWhittaker, the game could use more of a tutorial.
Nice mix of elastomania and QWOP! A little bit too difficut though :D
If I ever get a motorcycle, I want it to be Windmill Willy. Memes aside, cool graphics and concept/idea. Thumbs up!
For everyone confused about the cart breaking right, read the description. The foliage breaks your cart
It's pretty much a Flintstone Car Simulator :D Also interestingly unique art style and music.
I really like the concept... I couldn't get past level three, but what I was able to play was very fun. Keep up the good work!
Haha the music is cool but I can see it driving you mad as you listen it for 48 hours :D
Anyway cool game, with a good, funky feel. Would love to see more mechanics added to it, maybe movement related
I found it a little bit too difficult, but it was still really fun to play! I really liked the art, awesome! And the music fit really well with the game! Welle done!
Same as Spinach_Chicken, I couldn't get past level 3. Once the car broke, I couldn't get up the slope.
The graphics, music, and basic idea are all top quality though, so congratulations on your first Jam!
The name "Windmill Willy," though... maybe a little too blue?
Fun game mechanic and the 2D levels made of 3D blocks was a nice touch.
Nice humour, fun physics puzzler. Wasn't able to make it passed the third level. I'm guessing you need to land on the block as it falls, but I couldn't manage it. Well done regardless.
I changed the name.. Seems people found it offensive.
I didn't intend it to be crude, it was simply the name I thought sounded best in the title. Sorry for any offense caused.
I hope it wasn't just my comment that caused you to change the title! I intended that as a joke, since I could see that you hadn't thought of it that way. I wanted you to be aware that some people would think it a crude joke, though!
No, the title was changed to my username by a higher power. I honestly didn't think it would be seen as that, but it's okay.

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Many solo participants enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
The game is very fun, not too easy not too hard.
The music is nice, The mechanics are good, and the cave man is hilarious.
