Hey folks. I'm working on a little one-button multiplayer game called Spin Top Racers. I'm hoping to build and release this on a very fast schedule and I desperately need some feedback on the different control methods I've developed...
I've put the prototype up as a webplayer on Itch, which can be found here.
At the moment there's no AI, no lap or point detection. Instead, grab a friend (or three) and try to get around the track! If it's just yourself, no problems - I just really need to know how you find the controls!
Control your racer with the keys Q, U, Up Arrow and Keyboard 8. Apologies if you have a form of colour blindness, I'll account for that in later releases.
Reset the game by clicking on the 'Reset' button at the centre of the track.
Right now there are three control methods, 1, 1a, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Identifying the most comfortable/fun control method is crucial step and one I need to lock down at the moment.
If you get a chance to try the game and have time to respond, please let me know which control methods you prefer in order of preference, eg.
4, 3, 1a, 5, 2, 1.
I'm trying to make the game as accessible as possible to the widest range of experience, age and physical ability - a real family game!
Thanks so much for taking a look at this. It's at a very early stage, and the interactions are very simple, but I have to get this bit right first...!
Hope you're all in good form and working on something interesting!
