The controls can be a bit wonky at times, but the idea is cool and the fact that getting the yellow spheres to speed up more becomes easier as the planets shrinks is good game design.
Thanks! That was the idea
Very interesting! Nice job :) Feel free to check out my submission too if you have the time!
Fun concept! My only problem was that it was either a perfect run from the beginning or if you crash I found it impossible to make up for the lost power
This game is simple but fun! The gameplay loop kinda reminds me of Outer Wilds of all things.
The car controls feel really smooth. Although it becomes quite hard to gain speed even if you keep to the roads. Some variation in goals could be good. Like, “collect X orbs” or “travel a total of X meters”.
Overall, great job!
oh my god, thats the piece i was missing. Travel x meters is such a better objective. I will definitely update the game to fit that. And you are the first one that got the Outer Wilds inspiration! Thank you so mich for your comment.
Ohh fresh concept! I usually don't like car games but it was a good experience! good job!
Thanks a lot!
Nice little game! Were the assets done in house?
The car was taken from the asset store, everything else was made by hand :)
Awesome game. Bit better Level design with same concept. More feedback on SFX. and Easy to understand levels or an endless mode will make it better imo.
thanks for the feedback!
cool game you creative concept
I couldn't pass level 2
Just finished the game. I really like the idea of driving inside a planet. The driving itself feels pretty great too. It messed a bit with my head at the beginning, but once you get used to it, it's really fun. The art style is also really cute.
As other people have already mentioned, a restart button would be realy useful.
Besides that, I think this is an awesome start. Good job!
thanks for playing all the way through! I really should have added a quick restart, i know.
Ay man. That's the game jam experience, you always miss the most obvious shit haha
A cool game I don't know about the drift part but It was a fun expirience. I would like a reset button tho as at some point the planet just becomes to small to get enough speed in a semi straight line.
yeah, i really wanted to add a restart but i just ran out of time. Also drift was just a cool name since it sounded better than breakout drive xd
The setting felt immediately original and interesting. Great concept and well executed!
Really enjoyed your take on the theme! Solid driving system and art style! Great work.
I'm on linux, so it took me a long time to figure out how to play this, but I eventually did. Now I know how to play windows games on linux!
I couldn't get past level 2. Is this inspired by hyperbolica? Eventually I was too big, I couldn't avoid any of the rocks and trees, though I feel like if I were that size, I should be able to just run over them all. Its fun to just collect orbs.
Thank you for trying so hard to play my game xd. Its actually not inspired by hyperbolica, but I can see the resemblance as driving on the inside of a sphere can feel a bit non-euclidean
Such a nice idea and a very cute game. I got to level 2 but I had to stop due to motion sickness :(. But overall I enjoyed it. I wish the game will get more recognition as it deserves.
Thank you!
Great controls and gamefeel, and the art was simple but clearly a lot of effort went into making it look good. The highlight for me was the *awesome* visuals for how the road seemingly curved upwards, like an inverse planet. Very cool!
Neat little driving game with a really creative idea behind it! Level three bested me, but it was still entertaining to be slowly consumed by the planet every time I failed. I felt that the objective and the little power-ups were quite intuitive to understand with very minimal explanation, which is great game design. Had a lot of fun with this one!
Super neat concept, wish I didn't get so motion sick playing it : /

This is precisely the kind of creativity I wanted to see from this theme, great job! I really like the style too, and it was pretty fun to try and pick up speed. If I had to try and add anything, it would be that it's pretty hard to fix things when you start messing up, because of the grass, trees and stones.
This is one of my favourites for now, thanks for the game.
Thanks for the kind words :) There is definitely a lot of polishing left to do
Fun game mechanic.
It would have been nice if there was some sort of visual feedback when gaining orbs.
I believe we were able to go faster because we gained mass from the orbs?
yep, there is a boost-o-meter in the top right that shows how much you are boosted :)
Ho I see. I think that what made it not abvious for me is that it decayed fast &
I didn't seem to go faster (even though the speedometer said otherwise). At least, it's how it felt to me. :)
Hitting the grass parts causing the vehicle to shoot upwards felt pretty extreme, but other than that it’s pretty fun to get up to speed and just go flying inside a little planet!
Its meant to discourage you from going on the grass :) Thanks for the review!
