The controls feel pretty good. It's difficult, but not unfair. The audio and music are fun. The visuals are nice. Good work!

Developer

Thnak you!

This is the type of game that evokes mixed feelings. On the one hand, it seems simple, but on the other hand, it's exciting, as if you're challenging yourself to finally reach the end. I like the visual design, the tutorial, and the levels. The sound effects are also well-chosen.

Developer

Thank you! And I do agree about the mixed feelings part haha

Lots of cool ideas here! An instant restart would probably go a long way, since I imagine most people will be dying a LOT. This is hard! The driving is very smooth, but the game demands a lot of precision from very imprecise controls (imprecise by design, definitely part of the charm). I like that each level had something new to offer. My favorite mechanic was the grappling hook, but it was held back a bit by the speed/distance relation where being further away makes you wayy faster than being closer to the center, which is unintuitive imo (i know exactly how your code looks for this part, since i've done the same thing). Overall, a good entry, nice work!

 Thanks a lot for playing and the comment! And yeaa the transition of the restart does get a bit too much imo that could have been an option to disable too. And yea the grappling hook is a bit janky xD

Amazing visual style, and the individual mechanics of the game are very solid! I think my only complaints are from the level/game design aspect. I wish that the camera could lead a little bit so you could have a better idea of what to expect. As some other comments mentioned, the "3 2 1" countdown every single time started getting annoying, would have been nice for that to be off as default rather than a setting in the options. Similarly, the music I feel would work better if it just looped once you were in a level instead of restarting when you died. Lastly, I think the controllable character in the game beng a car maybe gave me as a player the wrong impression that I should primarily being going at speed (not necessaritly full-throttle) most of the time, when I found the opposite to be true. There were portions where I felt it best to slow down or even turn around and reverse, rather than risk running head-first into an obstacle or off a curve. Specifically in the slingshot level, there is a part where it seems like I am purposefully set up to readjust to get the distance of the sling right to squeeze through some sawblades on the other side of a chasm. I'd be curious to see if this game could work better with some other sort of character running around rather than a vehicle 🤔But again, beyond those complaints, this is a great game! Amazed that you were able to get unique music tracks for each level, and the UI design is stellar!

Thanks alot for the detailed comment! The feedback is very valid haha I have a lot of ideas on stuff I could have improved on but as jams go I didn't have the time unfortunately. Thanks again for playing!

The car felt so slick and satisfying to control around turns once I got the hang of it, very well done!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!

This is super slick!!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted(+1)

If you had a bad day this game would have made it worse XD

on a serious note though i do think the game is some what fun but also enraging but not to the point of rage quit

i do however wish that you could skip the 3 2 1 intro after a few times (it gets annoying fast)

but other than that good ui good art good soundtrack and its feels slick!

Developer

Haha yea it does play like a rage game a bit xD Also you can disable the 3 2 1 in the "Options" tab haha And thanks for playing it!

oh really? thanks for letting me know!

Really cool! I think this could even rival Garfield Kart 2!

Developer

Thank you! But I could never imagine to rival the masterpiece thats Garfield Kart 2

This is very good! Sick & slick work on UI and announcer too, it ups the general vibes by a ton. It's hard, but I don't feel very frustrated, because it's mostly between me and my pride not wanting to go slow xd

Developer

Thank you very much! The announcer is actually my voice and the voice of my teammate stacked together with a ton of effects to mask our cheap mics xD

Woah, so much work in this entry. Everything is amazing. Ghost car is such a good trick to make you want to try "just one more time". 

The only issue (as others have said)... the initial levels are just too frustrating (level 2 especially!). 

I know the whole point is the difficulty, but It takes a while to get the hang of the steering and the drifting... the first couple of levels should make you feel like a drifting god and then build up to the crazy bomb level! It's a game jam, so you know so many people will not put in the effort. At the moment it's "difficult to learn, difficult to master" but with just a bit of level tweaks it would be the holy grail of  "easy to learn, difficult to master"!

I'm glad I stuck with it though, because once you get the hang of it then going back to the first levels was way easier. If there was a leaderboard I bet you'd get some seriously addicted players. 

My post-jam feature requests: ability to do a camera flyover preview of the track to get a sense of the scope of a level and do some planning, and stretch goal: a level editor with shareable levels!

Anyhoo, amazing entry - so impressive. Well done.
 

Developer

Thank you very much for playing and the detailed comment! I really agree that it would have been a good idea to have a few easier levels but time got the best of me haha. And I was actually going to add a leaderboard but I dropped it to polish some more stuff. But I do agree that the ability to fly around and see the level beforehand and also a level editor are great ideas!

Submitted(+1)

Super fun. my only critique is that when you restart you could just press a button to begin instead of waiting for 3,2,1,go every time. love the drifting.

Developer

Thank you! And actually there is an option in the "Options" tab to remove the countdown haha

Submitted(+1)

This game is really difficult, but extremely fun! I think a level look-over before you start would help with my main issue with the game, that being that you don't know what's coming up ahead of time. Really great game though, with some banger music!

Developer

Thats actually a very good idea I didn't think of that haha but thanks for playing it!

Submitted(+1)

the fact that there is a unique song for every level is absolutely amazing! number 3s is my favorite! Great Game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

This is a very polished game! The art style is very cool, and the drifting is very satisfying. Although some sections were pretty difficult, hitting a perfect drift was the most slick thing I've done on this jam. Great job!

Developer

Thank you very much thats quite the compliment!

Submitted(+1)

This was such a nice polished experience, super difficult but fun. The artstyle is sick. Very slick

Developer

Thank you!
