I really, really like this game! It somehow gives me the nostalgic feeling of playing Club Penguin haha. I keep coming back to this game to see if there are more trials for me to complete, and every time I play I often find new areas and new strategies and I gotta be honest, I spent quite a lot of time on this game haha. Something about it feels like I was not alone at all, even though I am and cannot see others. Really love the game, and I really like the concept of letting players set the times and the levels/route themselves, and let others beat their time/route/level! I think I'll be coming back to this game every once in a while now haha. Great job!
Thank you so much for the kind words! It really means a lot to me. I already have a small update to the game I'll be pushing out once the rating period is over that has some nice quality of life updates including a list of all the races available in the main menu that you can click on to teleport to them. Hope you enjoy the update :) .
Here's a link of my friend and I playing your game
Thanks for the link! Watching you play was a lot of fun! Always interesting seeing someone approach a game with new eyes. I should probably make it more obvious that jumping preserves the speed boost from the boosters because without that, it looks like races can be really frustrating. Really appreciate you and your friend taking a look at the game.
Stellar Game! Great idea to have players "race" each other. Very impressive to keep track of all those races. Great map with a lot to do and places to go. Everything was intuitive and you had good ui so I could find out what was happening.
I'd love to see who has beaten my race, but know there's a time constraint to do everything for game jam.
A small tweak would be making the swimming controls feel a bit better? I felt like I was constantly being thrust up to the surface and felt out of control when moving.
Overall great work!
Thanks for the review! The swimming element is a bit different for this game. If you're doing the "Dolphin Dive" move by holding shift, don't hold any other keys besides to steer left, right, up and down with the arrow keys. If you start at a neutral state and hold shift and nothing else, you'll just start going forward not thrust upward. I know when I first started using those controls I kept pressing up to go forward while dolphin diving so I just kept hitting the floor until I realized what I was doing. We should probably find a way to describe the swimming mechanics better somewhere early in game lol
