Unfortunate humans are forced to compete in Shadow Races which always end in every participant's death regardless of their placement. In these races power-up boxes can be opened to gain a random power-up that can help them survive just a bit longer or even sabotage the other racers.

The concept and lore was pretty great, although the colorful look of the race track and cars didn't really fit the apocalyptic/dystopian theme as well. If it were me I would have set it at night, put debris props everywhere and made the cars look a bit more futuristic, as well as maybe changing all the red spikes to purple. The racing mechanics were really solid, although I did find it a bit frustrating whenever my car randomly started going backwards for no reason with the death cloud right behind me (I guess death is truly inevitable in that case) 

I do really love the concept of a dystopian racing game set in an apocalyptic world with this evil death entity chasing you, and I do recommend that jump into taking this concept and making it into a full on 3rd person racing game outside of a game jam, because there are so many cool things you could do with this! This idea is very creative and could make a very unique and fun gaming experience, especially in a genre where all the other titles are more focused on realism. :)

I hope that "not being able to go forward" was due to you succesfully hitting the spider webs that slow you down. The rest I all agree with, lots of customization details were on the to do list but sadly did not make it in time.

I like the story and the idea of running away with a crowd, but without being able to see far enough ahead it was really difficult for me to play the game. I'd love to see you polish the game some more.


Please also play and rate our game! Thank you!

I find the story great but the graphics were a let-down for me, the race implement didn't really fit
