In what way does your game fit the theme?
In ReCharger, there's a "reverse" mechanic in order to generate forward movement. Literally rewinding backwards, just not with time.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I used a visual scripting tool, Playmaker, so I didn't really write any code. Except for the script for quality settings.
As for the assets, graphics & models were made from scratch, while music & sfx were free to use.
Thank you for the feedback, will definitely look into your powerup suggestions. 馃槃
About the steering, new version already has handbrake control, enabling you to make sharp turns.
The Excalibur vehicle will retain it's difficulty handling though, it is originally part of its unique stat and metaphorical as well, if you get what I mean. 馃榿
Thank you so much for thinking so! I greatly appreciate it. 馃檹
I automatically play games from commenters, so will be checking out yours today. 馃槃
Thanks for trying it with a controller and reporting this bug, especially because I don't have varying controllers to test the game with.
It's strange that the right stick for reverse isn't working. You mentioned "reverse button", so I want to know if you meant the "right stick" and pulling it downwards? And what controller are you using? Your info would be greatly appreciated. 馃檹
I recently added yesterday a handbrake control which made the game feels so much better to play with. But yeah, it still lacks the drifting which I really want to add in, I'll figure it out soon. 馃槃
For the race mode, at first, I thought it wouldn't work with this mechanic, but with the help of the energy packs, I think I can make it work. Thanks for the suggestions! 馃憤
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! The steering issue is now fixed with the addition of the "handbrake" control, which is currently on the build on my end. But as I mentioned with DutchDad below, the blue car "Excalibur" is normally a hard vehicle to steer as part of its concept.
In the future, the other cars will be playable, and they would have stats corresponding to their concept. Imagine "Muramasa" having the easiest handling and etc. I'm excited to implement them all in! 馃槂
Thanks again for checking the game out! 馃檹
Thanks! I noticed that as well and have fixed it in the current version on my end. The game also now has a handbrake control and it solves the steering problem. Though, the main concept of the Excalibur (blue) vehicle is that it is normally hard to steer. Other vehicles will have some modified stats as well. 馃槃
Thank you! I focused a lot on the vehicle rather than the track/environment itself since I really need to know if the mechanic of reversing would work. I kept working on it until I got to a point where the basic stuff felt right. On a side note, I only had 4 days to develop it.
With the main mechanic, it was really missing one special sauce, the "handbraking." So on my end, I recently added a handbrake control, allowing you to skid. So collecting those pickups and avoiding danger won't be so hard anymore.
But here's a quick tip for the current version:
You can slow down bit by bit by repeatedly tapping on "Reverse."
I will still explore on your suggestions and thank you so much for playing! 馃檹
Thank you! Glad you liked the overall game! The songs were from Ethan Meixsell, his music is so good that I just need to credit him. :D
