The chain reaction theme is found in the speed multiplier between checkpoints; the art direction of the game is heavily inspired by all assets in the advertisement video.

The game is fun and I like how you used the theme from the trailer. The music was nice, and the game over captions were funny too!

I like how you included the buildings from the game jam trailer. Really liked cruising around with Mint and looking at the sun's reactions :D

Woah! That's a cool looking racing game! Reminds me of Outrun.

The visual presentation and CRT screen effect are really well done!

The music is a great fit for the game too.

My only issue with this game is that the jam's theme is very weak. The "reactions" only happen once per checkpoint and these are very far apart. Maybe adding pickups that give a score/speed boost along the way the more you chain/combo in a row with a big combo counter on the side of the screen would have hit the mark better.

I would've also loved to see the car slide to the side and pop some smoke when doing the drifts, but it's understandable not having it due to the time constraint of the jam.

Good job!

So happy to see some racing games! Driving felt really fun. I like the burning effects around the screen if you hit too many cars. The CRT monitor filter look fits so well, along with the bopping BGM. I don't know if it was randomly generated, but I like the vibe of the city. Worked really well as a whole package. I was able to beat it in 267 seconds.

I had no FPS issues on my end in a Chrome browser. Worked like a charm.

Very cool idea, FPS seems to absolutely tank though... dunno if it's my pc but it's quite hard to play a fast paced game at 15 fps...

I like the vibe of the game but it would've been nice to have more feedback when drifting

There's something I want to point out.

The art and gameplay are good. The only issue is the fps. I played your game many times and found out why it was lagging in the first place.

If you look at the image here, you will see that it loads so many instances, such as cars, dragoons and even buildings. Calculating everything, each character's movement on the sidewalks, some cars going and passing by and even building placement. If you look closely, you will see that it is also loading characters/cars way far away. There are some times when gameplay got smoother when it loaded, so a few instances, such as 2-3 cars/characters, and that's all.

It would be better if there were some settings which allow us to toggle instance generation or disable instances completely. For ex, the buildings, to make it smoother.


It is still my personal opinion, and I wanted to clarify. That's all.

This game is absolute eye-candy that uses a small pool of assets very creatively!

Browser has inconsistent performance which causes the game to slow down a lot.

Great job on the graphics! Love Doki taking Mint on a joy(?)ride

Pretty sick game!  The 2D racing system is a nice touch and I can appreciate the effort taken to make that.  The art and aesthetic is really cool but I think the game could have leaned even deeper towards the theme with some sort of chain drifting mechanic.

Nice work!

Loved the music, first instinct was to run a dragoon over LMAO

I liked the sprites and the game over screens (even though the quote references didn't really seem to fit the game to me)! I had a bit of a hard time with the feel of the off-road, it felt like it slowed the car a little too much that if I went off-road it'd basically ruin a run.

this reminded me that I Gotta Go Fast, love the little Kyutiepies mixed in with the Dragoons and Whisps, is this the town we go to when we die?

super cute game!!!! i love the art style!! (◕‿◕✿) and i loved driving over the hills lolololol

Great aesthetic! I really like all the sprites in this game. Feels a bit laggy in the browser though, a windows version might be nice

Submitted(+2)

Loved it, really nice aesthetic, gameplay and music. I can't find the link with the theme though, might need some clarification inside the game? Be it the story (that's explained in the jam post) or more emphasis on the multiplier idea

For some reason though i wasn't able to play it on Firefox, it would just run at like 5FPS and not even start. It does work on Chrome at least.

thank you, I will check it out and try to resolve it!
