Fun game, very cool take on the idle game genre. I got dizzy from the camera. Maybe add like a snapping camera option or do less panning and more zoom. The camera zooms into the center of the screen then pans afterwards.
There is a slider in the top right to set camera move speed called, Dizzy Slider
You are correct, I forgot to mention I did make use of the dizzy slider but the slider disabled panning entirely and the ui covered the cars.
Really nice game. I played it way too long lol Might want to add a restart car option or something if you want to develop this further. One of my cars got weirdly turned around at the start and stopped working.
Thanks for the feedback! If I ever update or remake this game, I will rework and improve the car ai so that such an event simply doesn’t occur.
Creative concept. I like the art
I've never seen an idle racer before. I like slowly building out the loop, and it's really satisfying to finally have it done, although it did take a while. Also nice visual feedback a lot of idle games lack, where the more you upgrade the faster and more cars and longer courses you have to watch them drive on!
Lol it seems like auto-racers are pretty good loop-themed games. Pretty fun!
Best idle game ive played including out of jam, I only wish there was a bit more to do
I like
Played this for like 2 hrs instead of doing my work. 10/10
nice job
Great idle game, i got way to into it haha
Very cute idle game! Love the theme of it.
This is pretty good, Spent good enough time upgrading cars
It's crazy how long I got stuck playing for this game hahah. Idle games too addictive, nice game!
This is like my 3 brain cells looping around my disconnected brain, in a good, brain-rotting, addictive way. Every loop is a tiny bit of dopamine
This game is strangely captivating, I ended up spending a lot of time on it, watching the little car go around in circles just made me really hally. I really hope there will be a more complete version in the future so I can enjoy even more content, the bgm isnt great though,I hope it can be improved or replaced.
i spent way too much time playing this, 'twas good :))
Well done! Fun details that you get to rename your cars. I was going to saw I wish there was more of an indicator of the difference between a regular upgrade and a resetting one (once that’s unlocked), but I now realize it’s blue. Still, maybe other strong button outline or something could help. But yikes otherwise, solid entry with top marks. Nice work.
Edit: I won’t post the screenshot to avoid spoilers (as awaiting to see how the track unfolds and what unlocks is half the fun), but got to “the end” and then cross the $1M mark, I guess that means I made it!
Played to completion. Very fun.
There is a lot of content and all expected from an idle game, impressive for the time limit. Would be much more satisfying if the cars to had proper pathfinding, it made the track more of an obstacle especially the zig-zag section.
