GDC 2015: ‘Does Not Commute’ Isn’t Just a Clever Name, It’s Also Hilariously Fun

Mediocre Games is probably the most oxymoronic developer out there. With beloved titles like Smash Hit (Free) and Sprinkle ($1.99), their games are anything but mediocre. Their next game really drives this point home though, as it’s far and away the most I’ve laughed and had fun playing a video game this entire week at GDC. This new game is called Does Not Commute, and at its most basic level it’s all about driving a vehicle from point A to point B. The catch is that once you successfully get one vehicle where it needs to go, that vehicle repeats its route in subsequent rounds. Those previous routes just keep on piling up, and eventually Does Not Commute becomes a frantic mess of vehicles all intent on crashing right into you.

It’s hard to put into words just how stupidly awesome Does Not Commute is, but hopefully our fits of uncontrollable laughter in the video gives you an idea of how much fun this game is to play. I’ve seen a lot of great stuff at GDC this week, but I’m really going to have a hard time waiting to get my hands back on this one. Fortunately it’s not too far off, so expect Does Not Commute to arrive sometime next month or very shortly thereafter.

    I don't know how well Terraria sold on iOS, but these guys would be insane to not release this on iPad pretty soon after PC. Surely they can afford to have a team working on the iOS version in tandem with the PC team?

    This looks amazing

    ... And I will own this on as many platforms as they release it on like their previous game! Now if we could only get Starbound finished and in full release state...

      Hahaha! Starbound finished and with a release date. Ah, you're such a joker.

        ...Starbound is not in release state, it's in early access which means it's more along the lines of a purchasable alpha/beta. No jokes implied. Sure you can play it and technically it's out but it is technically an unfinished game that isn't in official release state.

        Ah, didn't initially get your posts intended humor. Disregard my last post!

    It's almost like an RPGS with destructible environment. Awesome.

    Hopefully the developers of this game will port this beautiful looking game over to iOS iPads at least lol, Terraria has been doing way too well on iOS to not have some serious consideration of bringing Terraria other world over to at least iPads, with all the power iPads like the iPad Air 2 and the original iPad Air have I know the game would most likely run smoothly and be a great port.
