Hey hey taxi lovers! 🚕

We've been humbled by your feedback so far and we have an update for the demo build which already incorporates some feedback we got from the community, as well as a new paint job on Morio's lab, since he got bored of the old one!

Here's the full list of changes:

• WASD keys now work in the main menu
  
• Jump timing window is now larger, and it’s overall easier to perform.
  
• You can now press flip and brake together as well
  
• (Narrator: I wonder why I hadn't thought of that before hahaha…)
  
• Lab gear is now shining in rainbow colors to avoid confusing it with a gear that can be picked up
  
• Menu text now bounces way less, for readability purposes
  
• Coins lost at death are now 30 instead of 50
  
• Can you reach the top of Morio’s Grandma’s statue? Because we put a little something there :P
  
• Changed Morio’s Home layout to be less reliant on the jump
  
• Flip can now destroy Oil Pumps, as it was always meant to
  
• Respawn sequence now is faster after 3 deaths, it will skip the “Get Ready, Go” sequence
  
• Granny’s Hub Island portals now stay active after a death
  
• Added the option in the menu for tweaking the master volume
  
• Obfuscated some code to avoid excessive spoilers. Planning some in-house modding support to compensate for that :)
  
• Added a motion blur setting, for people sensitive to low frame rates
  
• Mori-o-tron now takes you to the closest checkpoint if you haven’t activated one already
  
• Morio was bored so he gave the lab a fresh coat of paint
  
• Changed Pici's dialogue about the jump, to make it easier to understand
  
• Fixed a bug with the speedrun timer, which made the timer go slower.
  
• The speedrun timer is also using DOUBLE precision
  
• Fixed a few minor visual bugs after the lab rework
  
• Fences do not block camera anymore
  
• You can now exit out of the game using just your controller buttons
  
• Changed the taxi shadow to a round one for better depth perception
  
• Secret stuff ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
  

Pretty cool, right? 😎

Stay vroooooming,

[h2]The time to taxi is almost upon us![/h2]

We're so excited to give you a sneak peek into the wondrous world of YTGV with our new game reveal trailer, aaaaaaaa

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

And to celebrate the announcement, we've just released our official demo!

Spot the weirdos. Take in the sights. But above all, don’t believe Big Oil’s lies! Just hit that "Play Demo" button on the Steam page, and get ready to vroom 😎

But what even is a Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom?

Since you asked, we're pretty sure it's a game. You play by driving around the twists and turns of a trippy world, unlock collectibles, collect unlockables and meet lots of weirdos in the process.
Some would call it an arcade platformer, but since we didn't add a jump button, we say it's a bump'n'jump game ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is just the first of many blurbs of wondrous news still to come.

And while we're warming our engines for more, don’t forget to add Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom to your Wishlist to show support!   

🚕 Bon Voyage!
