So cute! Love the pixel art for this so much! The other racers put up a good challenge. You did an amazing job with this :D

Haha yeah it relies heavily on physics forces, so moving forwards is easier in the air because there's no friction holding you back, bit broken but unintended xD Thanks for playing!
That was really fun ! The chaos of the game makes me want to try it again and again until I win. Just trying to prove that luck can be on your side. After 7 tries, I finally was able to beat the AI (which I believe can dodge bullets :P)
Really impressive polish, never once have I encountered a bug. I did try to win by jumping over the hill using the ramp and a boost power-up. It worked, but it wont register me as the 1st, I guess there was a check somewhere on the track for these shenanigans.

Awesome, thanks for beating it! Yeah it's really chaotic and easy to pull you back from 1st position. They speed up if you're ahead and slow down if you're behind, but it's not necessarily easy to overtake them with all that's going on. It definitely needed a few nerfs for a game jam.
I never tried to jump over the hills, but I have it set up so you always have a target waypoint along the track. You can skip the target waypoint but only as far as the next target waypoint. It works in a way so you can have shortcuts in but not skip the entire thing. Good try though xD
Thanks that's what we were going for! Yeah we didn't get too much time to test it out on other people and forgot the golden rule of making it easier for a gamejam, so here's me with many hours of experience playing it trying to balance it xD. It does have a slow-down and catch-up mechanism if you're too far ahead or behind, but they still speed up when you get close to them. Definitely needed more tweaking.

Thank you! I'm so glad you found the chaotic nature of it to be fun. And yeah the dice trees were a nice touch, I wasn't expecting them but it's such a good idea from the artist
