Unfortunately I had things come up that prevented me from being able to spend as much time reviewing as I would have liked before the deadline, and I never quite beat this one. For a game so focused on getting a perfect run, there needs to be an instant restart button. Aesthetics are pretty cool.
Thanks for your feedbacks ! You can press the R key to restart instantly, but I should have specified that in the game or at least on the Itch.io page, that's my bad.
The car did feel a little slow at first, but when you lost even a little speed it feels really sluggish. Gimme a speed boost powerup or maybe incorporate more inclines to build speed. The graphics looked amazing and I had a fun time with it!
Thanks for the feedback ! Yeah, we should have made the acceleration more efficient, that would have been more pleasant to play. But glad you had a good time !
Nice entry! Did you make that car model yourself? Looks good. The car feels a little unresponsive and slow, turning also needs to be a little more sensitive and some leeway on the ground check of the car. But the MUSIC is UNREAL!
Thank you for your feedbacks ! Yes, the chassis was made by our 3D artist, the wheels are those of the UE5 template.
This car is the slowest thing on the planet! Interesting idea with trying to outrun the wall in an action movie like manner, however, I got stuck a few times because the car flipped over or collided with something that you couldn't reverse from.
Overall, the atmosphere is great, but the game is too difficult (skill issue, I know). The wall is way too fast and the game turned into RNG whether you'll have to restart or not at the mountain side jumps.
Driving the car around once it gathered a lot of speed was quite fun though!
Thanks for the feedbacks ! No it's not a skill issue haha, we've choose to make a die and retry design in order to make only 1 short level, otherwise we wouldn't have had the time to finish it before the end of the submission delay. So, to win, you have to try several times. But you're right, there is a lake of comfort in use. Hope you had a good time playing it anyway !
Funny easter egg, if you will turn back and ride up to the mointain over the wall - game will be won
Whaaat? I gotta try this. lol
The game looks quite original, but the gameplay needs some work. Maybe I have some kind of bug, but the reverse does not work
Thank you for the feedbacks ! You can't drive backwards in this game, you need to be as fast as possible and if a reverse is needed, you'll not be able to make it in time.
A little tough to control and I didn't know what the goal was until I lost the first time. Cool music and atmosphere, I can see this game going a lot of ways for future features. Good stuff!
Thanks for your feedbacks !
Wow! So epic! The atmosphere is just incredible. Immersion is really the strong point of this game. However, it should be noted that the physics are extremely sensitive. The slightest mistake can be fatal.
Nevertheless, I managed to finish the game after 6 attempts. I don't regret keeping hope. You have made one of the best games of the jam.
merci beaucoup ;) Glad you had a good time, even if the driving remains a bit rigid. Thanks for the feedbacks !
As I see everyone has some really cool ideas! You're really good, good luck.
thanks a lot ! Good luck to you too :)
Well done team! Super interesting idea, even if I was never able to make it inside. Let’s play : https://f002.backblazeb2.com/file/sharex-hN8T5vpN8wZGmmwU/2024/June/02/21/48/27/067/9926338f-db72-4b44-b944-8903caccdc86/2024-06-02%2021-43-44.mp4
Thank you so much ! The difficulty was our main problematic making this project. Since the game is really short when you succeed, we made it as a kind of die and retry.
We hope you still enjoyed playing it despite the difficulty :)
that was really cute :) loved it
Thank you ! Glad you've appreciated it :)
