Cool game! I was mostly in 3rd place, but in my last attempt in the last race I took 2nd place :).
I like how it all works and looks, knowing the track is the key to victory ;).
I think a co-op mode or multiplayer would make the game even more fun!
It was fun, congratulations!
Interesting concept. The art is pretty cool, the audio feels good too. I think my biggest complaint is how hard it is to make turns with how slide-y the vehicles are and turns not being seen from far enough. I liked the idea of racing with different vehicles that was cool. However, I didn't feel the 3 races offered much of a variety, it felt like I am just going through the same race using a cosmetically different vehicle but everything the same. For example, in the helicopter race I thought the entire map would be opened up as a "show me what you got" for example with minor obstacles in the air. Or in the boat race how now there would be different waterways (which is partially implemented).
Overall, interesting game. I can see this becoming quite a bit of fun if given enough time to grow as an idea.
Good work!
Wow, dude, it reminds me so much of Micro Machines! I love your game and its retro style. It took me right back to my childhood, haha. I had a blast and it kept me entertained. I give it 5 out of 5 stars. I love your style.
Dang, when the helicopters came out, I was really surprised. Super creative thinking on incorporating the theme. Only thing that frustrated me in this game was that there was no way to know which way to turn before it was too late.
Oh wow, it's written in C ?
Very cool entry for the jam, the retro-vibes are strong in this one. :-)
I like, that the different vehicles are present, just like in the micromachines games back then.
It really nailed the inspiration on Micro Machines, had a bit of difficulty at the start, but I started to get used to the controls and went smooth after that.
Great game! Well implemented!
Very cool retro racing game!
Nice 2D racing game! I really liked the gameplay-it feels smooth and fun to play.
Nice little racing game! Good job for the little amount of time you had!
I really liked the cool background music!
Interesting retro style game. I think would've been nice to have some simple tutorials or a few more mechanics with the vehicles that were unique to them but was quite fun! Hope you continue developing it!
Each vehicle having different turning physics was a nice touch. Well done!
Surprisingly fun to play for a retro style game. I liked the different vehicle types and that the AI struggles to turn the same way as I do )
The controls are very well implemented, I see this game would be very funny to play as a multiplayer
I noticed the digging sound has a mechanical feel! The eeriness of being able to descend forever really set the mood well. (ツ)ノ
I loved the intentional clunkiness—it gave it such a great retro feel! The music was fantastic, too! (ツ)ノ
Nice and beautiful game. Reminds me on NES games 😀 on mobile it is difficult to play because I See the street bieder too late sometimes
Alright, got a chance to play this and it’s a fun little Micro Machines style racing game.
You did a nice job overall. I did run into some freezing here and there, but the core gameplay is fun and easy to get into.
Post jam, I think adding some simple effects like burnout tire marks when sliding would take this to the next level. Little touches like that can really elevate the feel of the game.
Overall, good job.
I enjoyed this a lot, but it kept freezing at the start of the second race.
Sorry about that! What browser are you using?
Opera.
