Hi everyone.
Today we’re launching a new patch for Jalopy which addresses a few issues and bugs. Our priority before adding more content is to continue stomping these bugs out before we begin work on Hungary. I’d like to thank everyone who has been reporting what they’ve found and told us how to replicate their issue so that we can try to fix it.
Additionally, we’ve had some amazing YouTubers play through the game over the past few weeks including Robbaz, Draegast, WhyBeAre, Weaselzone among others. We hope many of them do continue to check out the game as it continues in development!
Danny O’ Dwyer from Gamespot has also recorded an excellent video feature which shares a brief summary of the games core mechanics for those who are not familiar with Jalopy. Though we believe we fixed that pesky uncle issue Danny spotted in his video!

Known Issues:
- We are aware of people struggling to get up hills. We believe we’ve found the culprit of this but need just a little more time to fix this. For now, we do have a work around to help players to complete a hill start. When at a hill hold the space key to initiate the brake, then hold the W key. While holding the W key now release the brake, press the brake and then release the brake. If you do this while holding the W key, you will begin a true hillstart! It’s a tad complicated, but for now this exploit allows you to traverse up any hill until we fix this issue!
As always, if you find any issues do let us know in the forums. Thankyou everyone!
