Really great submission! reminds me of line rider!
Line rider didn't ring a bell so I checked it out... and what a nice surprise!
At its core it's a super simple game but the drawing mechanics are very refined. It is such an elegant design, and much more enjoyable than our game too.
Thanks for pointing it out!
I have a very good experience testing this game, and it's nice to see other ways of working on the concept of road making. Good job.
Thanks so much, i'll go check your game too!
I figured out the hard way that it's better to draw the road during the ride, not before :D.
Interesting idea nonetheless! Good job!
Very creative! had a fun time playing! Really felt like the game was well polished
Even though it's a bit hard to draw smooth roads, it doesn't make the game unbearable, it's one of the best games here!
So nice of you to say that! Thanks so much :)
I think it's a really fun concept that is, for the most part, executed wonderfully! The graphics are a 5/5 and audio is great as well; the only thing making the actual playability frustrating is the smoothness of the lines. I can draw a shape that models a perfect trajectory from one point to another, but due to the car's suspension (or lack thereof) and minuscule arbitrary changes in the mouse/camera position making the curve jagged, the playthrough might be ruined! It feel "wrong" to have this motor vehicle be stopped by the tiniest bump in the road. That said though, I think with some very small tweaks to how these two aspects of the game, this could an incredibly fun experience! Great job :D
Thanks for your detailed comment!
The smoothnesss of the road seems to be a recurring comment from players, and we definitely agree that is is an issue. Sometimes, even despite the player’s efforts, the line is jagged and any little step stops the car on the spot, which is definitely not what we wanted.
We think that these little unwanted steps in our line drawing are the biggest issue, rather than the car’s suspension. The cars do have suspension by the way, but as you said it definitely needs some tuning.
We are working on a fix and will surely upload an update when the rating period is over :)
