Encountered one problem and have a few suggestions:
Problem: Can't change settings via in-game options, always have to do it via the INI.

Suggestion 1: move game data to the game's folder, if possible (it's good to have a portable variation of the game, ya know)

Suggestion 2: add features to improve steering. Example: if you keep tapping Accelerate while steering you can make tighter curves more easily in most games. Additionally, add the attack left/right by double-tapping left/right.

Suggestion 3: add a way to configure the controller in-game.

Hello, thanks for playing!

What do you mean you can't change settings via in-game options? I never encountered an issue with those, did you validate your changes by going all the way down and use the "Accept" option? If you just pressed the "B" button, you cancel your changes.

Thanks for your suggestions.

1) Well, that's what I wanted to do initially but GameMaker doesn't allow that natively. I have since then discovered an extension that might do the trick, so I'll know how to make this easier in future projects.

2) Yep, that could be nice improvements.

3) Yes, the controller was implemented at the very, very last minute and I didn't have a controller at hand to test most of it beforehand.

I take good notes of your suggestions for future projects, as this one is considered finished on my end.


Above all, what did you think of the game? Did you enjoy it? Any good points to make about it? Thanks! :)

There was no "Accept" option when I tried, so only option was pressing B.

I do appreciate the style too, kind of reminds me of the likes of Top Gear and Outrun.

The "Accept" is located way down, but you are not the first player to have missed it: I guess it wasn't clear, so I'm taking the blame here!

Thanks! I tried to emulate as good as possible this old "fake-3D" style.

A simple arrow around the top and bottom edges of the border of the options menu should be a hint for "more settings above/below".

Another thing I noticed is that even on Easy Mode it feels impossible to get first place with Captain Falcon, so once improved steering ideas gets added it should make everything more feasible
