visuals look nice, though a bit rough around the edges.
the drifting could be tweaked a bit more as it didnt feel 'slippery' enough, feels more like a slow mode rather than a drift, I understand this is more of an arcade type of game but a b1t of progressions using powerups or upgrades would have been nice to see.
overall game was decent though lacks a bit of 'oomf', more polish and more game juice are needed.
The game looks so much fun to play, but I feel like the actual gameplay is missing something. I'm not sure what it is, maybe the drifting just needs to be tweaked. Maybe it would feel better if you could take out enemies while drifting, but that would ruin the main idea of the game, so probably not. For minor tweaks, I think the respawn time could be quicker, and you should be able to see a larger area when you start so you don't immediately run into the enemy. I like the game, it has a great appeal for marketing, and HUGE potential. Well done
Thanks a lot for the thoughtful feedback!
You're absolutely right, there’s still something to fine-tune in the gameplay loop, especially around the drift and controls I think.
Super glad you see potential in the concept! Your message really motivates me to keep pushing it further!
really love the drift mechanic XD
a bit hard to control but I think it's part of the game
really chaotic game XD
I like it XD
Really happy you enjoyed the drift, even if it’s a bit wild to control!
Appreciate the kind words!
Thank you!
Really love that you added the radio to the game, super cut feature! The game feels really juicy and although the controls and trying to aim the car was a bit of a struggle it was still fun to move around!
I definitely would have liked a longer iframe after hits sincemany times I would be hit by one attack and then another a second after while I was still hitstunned and before I had a chance to steer myself around
Great job completing the jam!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the radio. It was super fun to add that little extra touch!
Totally hear you on the controls and the iframes. I could definitely use some tweaking to avoid those frustrating double-hits.
Appreciate you sharing your thoughts!
I have no drivers license for a reason! That being said, I still managed to beat the game after a few dozen tries. :P
UX wise its a really clean entry, clean core gameplay loop, sadly missing a proper main menu with settings, controls.
Controller support was almost perfect;; just missed the drift key :( (but you told me you are not able to properly test those so get a pass on that ;) )
This game could really benefit from dynamic aspect ratio's would feel your already immersive camera movement even better!
If you are taking this entry further post jam, goodluck with adding more features and QoL to it! <3
Thank you so much for the stream and for taking the time to test the game!
Happy I could help! :D
Hope to see you hop in stream in the future. :)
Wow, your game is the second one where I have to say: this is the best so far. Everything just fits perfectly. Top notch!!
Thank you so much! Super motivating to hear feedback like this!
VERY creative gameplay! i saw an earlier version of this on the discord as the jam was going on, thought it would be really interesting, and it is! and man am i bad at it LOL. i'm not sure how the theme applies to this, though?
Thanks a lot! I'm really glad you found it interesting, even if it gave you a hard time, haha!
As for the theme, the idea was to link it to adrenaline, which literally makes your heart beat faster. So I built the whole core mechanic around that pulsing rhythm to reflect the pressure and tension of adrenaline-fueled moments!
The mechanics were confusing at first, but once I figured it out it became very fun to play. Great stuff! I like the style, the movement, and the juice!
Thanks a lot!Happy to hear it was fun once you got the hang of it!
Appreciate the kind words about the style, movement, and juice that’s the stuff I had the most fun working on!
This game feels awesome, the music is awesome and the UI is really nice! The screens move a little too much for me but overall great work :D
Thank you so much! I'm really happy you enjoyed the feel of the game, the music, and the UI!
Totally get what you mean about the screen movement! I might add an option to disable this next time to make the experience smoother. Really appreciate the feedback!
Nice retro game. Everything is solid.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it!
The presentation is really clean and I really like the music. It's a cool little mechanic and it feels great to play, I feel like it zooms in too much when you drift though making it hard to aim at anything.
Thanks a lot! Really glad you liked the presentation and music! Totally hear you on the drift zoom! It was meant to add intensity, but I agree it might be a bit much and make aiming tricky. I’ll definitely tweak that in future updates. Appreciate the feedback!
RC Pro Am meets The Legend of Zelda. Super fun; enjoyed seeing you post your progress on Bluesky.
Thanks so much! That’s such a cool comparison! Totally made my day! I had a blast sharing the progress on Bluesky, so it’s awesome to hear you followed along and enjoyed the final result. Really appreciate it!
Just completed the game, it's awesome! Great art and even different music choises., but most importantly: had fun. Got destroyed by a mage spawing right in front of me a few times, but that was a minor nuisance.
Thanks a lot, that means a lot to me! I'm really glad you had fun—that's the most important part!
Happy you liked the art and music choices too. And yeah, that sneaky mage spawn... definitely something I’ll tweak!
It's a great game, I love the vibe! After a few seconds of getting the hang of it and a few moments of sweating, it's fun to play. Good job!
Thanks so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the vibe and had fun with it sweaty moments included!
That’s exactly what I was aiming for. Really appreciate the kind words!
ncie game!
but hard
Thank you! Many of you have this feedback. I'll take note.
I really liked it but it is kind of hard.
Thanks! I didn't realize it was so hard, I'll have to fix it!
Dang I suck at this, but the drifting is super fun
Thank you very much for your feedback!
Tough but fun!
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you still had fun!
