Please disregard my Audio rating. I have yet to verify it using a compatible and unused Linux machine. Thank you.
Hey, if you’re not happy with the rating you’ve given you should be able to change it :)
OK! Yes, I shall update it as soon as I can. Please do also verify my submitted entry, TUGON. Thank you.
Beautiful game from models to visuals, the atmosphere and overall feels are very comforting! Very enjoyable and creative :D Overall good job.
Thank you very much! Your comments made my day 😊
Love to see a racing game for the game jam! Love that the menu has character customization and track selection. And enjoy the low poly environment and cinematic camera at the beginning of a race. Would love to also see the camera while racing feeling a little smoother though.
Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad you liked it :)
Keeping the camera smooth was something I stressed about for a while before I realised I was spending too much time on it :/ It can be jittery at times but getting the balance between jitter and responsiveness was giving me too many headaches so I had to leave it and move on. It’s definitely something I’d revisit in future!
Loved the environment art <3
Thank you!
this game was really cool😃 pretty good submission <3
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Pretty cute! I liked being able to customize my ant
Thank you, customisation is necessary in a game like this! 😉
Just like in Mario Kart, the blue "Shell" in this game makes me very angry.
The only reasonable reaction 😆 thanks for playing!
Mario cart combined with bugs, I love it! It's just beautiful!
The visuals are pleasant, the controls are simple and responsive, There is nothing to comment, it's just brilliant! I would love to see more levels, more powerups, and maybe multiplayer support.
Well done!!!
Mario kart is definitely my biggest influence here so that’s a great honour 😉 The track and item systems I built made it fairly easy to add more, so I might come back to it after the review period to add more content!
Really great work. I love racing games like this and racing as a bug is perfect. I enjoyed the chill atmosphere/sfx, being able to customise my character is an awesome touch. It has a lot more features than I expected too. Well done!
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Originally I wanted to put more customisation in (hats, mostly) but I ran out of time 😭
Great game! I really liked this one.
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Forgot the blue spiky shell in mario kart the blue mosquito is the real killer. The music and stages were great and I especially loved the ability to customize the ants.
Haha thank you, I’ve had a few comments on the brutality of the blue hunter, which is exactly what I was going for 😆
Great racer, I have thought many times about creating a racer but no clue how I would make interesting and challenging AI. I loved how the other racers targeted each other and I had a pretty good run but still only managed to get 2nd. The levels look pretty good too and the customization of the character is some great polish. Very well done!
Thank you, it’s nice to know you noticed all the small details I put in to make the AI function a bit better!
It's both adorable and funny, might be cool if you play with 3 or more people
Thank you - having up to 4 players was definitely on the cards, but I had some issues filling the screen when there were 3 players that I didn’t have time to fix, so I had to limit the maximum to 2. Glad you enjoyed the game!
Cool take on a kart racer! Fits the theme really well. I like how you added customization for the character racer too, that's a nice touch!
Thanks, the customisation was a necessity for me! Adds a bit of personal flair for the player :)
This game is actually underrated, I think it might be because people don't want to be bothered with downloading stuff. Give it a try people, it's really fun!
I know it’s a bit of a pain to download but I didn’t want to compromise with poor quality, so thanks for giving me a chance!
this is quite good racing game. the stages are very well done, also the AI always keeping me out from 1st position.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the game :)
Wow just wow, you even made intro cutscenes along with several maps AND two player support, this has impressed me beyond belief well done!
Thank you, it’s been a long month 😅
Cool bug racing will fun SFX. Great work! Played the browser version from a link on the Discord server that worked great. You should include that too.
Maybe it’s developer bias but the web version looked rubbish to me - I also had issues getting the multiplayer to work when embedded on itch, so opted for download only ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
