Nice little race game πŸ˜Š!

GAMEPLAY 
Controls were difficult at the start. Especially drifting. Did not use that and still managed to finish the races. Cool engine and audio. Did get stuck somethings between corners or in water I think. And I did not always clearly see a jump or pit. Maybe another camera view would help or that you can switch views. And some HUD values of speed etc. But it was fun to race😊! 

GRAPHICS/ART
Everything self-made is noteworthy! Maybe some more depth would help some to focus the jumps and corners. Some particle effect for drifting and speeding up would be a nice bonus I think. It did all fit well together in style.

AUDIO   
Nice 8-bit tracks and engine sounds that go along with the speed.

THEME 
Time is power is checked. The alternate reality could maybe be a little bit more. 

Overall a fine racer. Keep up the good work in the next game or gameπŸ’ͺ

Needed some time to grasp the controls, but it felt great to drift after getting it right.
It would be nice to have some feedback for when I'm drifting though, with some sound and even smoke maybe. 
One more thing: add some arrows around the map to help the player know where to go, it would be a nice addition.
Well done game, loved the music in the Tower level!

nice race game, the tuto a little tired XD, but the minimalist art and the 8bit sound of the car is amazing, love the game and try my best to complete the circuits x3

The game is pretty fun to play, although the tutorial level can be a bit annoying to complete as you can miss the jump if you go too slow and you can overshoot the corner if you go too fast. There's no indication of speed so the playing is just stuck guessing.

Very nice little arcade racer for sure! The controls were quite nice, although a bit drifty (But I think that was on purpose!) and including a tutorial level is a really nice touch.

A couple bits of feedback to throw your way:

  • In the 2nd level if you fall off at the start it doesn't reset you and  you have to float back
  • [S] is kind of a hard button to use to drift, since your finger is also on W... Maybe [Space] would work better/
  • Good lighting and post processing can go a long way to improving the graphics a bit, even if you're models aren't the best! (My normal go to to cover up bad art in a game jam XD)
  • Having a pause menu goes a long way for UX
  • If I'm not mistaken the exit from the "Black bit" of level 2 isn't obvious, you kind of have to go back on yourself and jump off a pray... It's not particuarly rewarding dying multiple times to find the way out!

Apart from that this is a great entry, following your progress in discord looks like you put a great amount of effort in for the time you had!

I've taken a quick video while I was playing, hopefully you can find it helpful to watch someone else play your game :)

Pretty cool game. I think the level layout for the city was pretty neat. As said in other reviews it was hard to tell where to go. I played the tower level and fell through water maybe? I kept falling for what felt like a minute and then I got a page with a large restart button that didn't work. I couldn't play the tutorial either, the button didn't work. Other than not knowing where to go I would say if the camera was farther away from the tank/car it would have been much easier to control. Anyway, well done!

Developer

thanks for the review. what button in the tutorial are you referring to?

Submitted

I just played it a few more times to make sure I would report it and finished the level. The other times I played it I didn't have enough speed to make the first jump, so I ended up falling into the water and getting to this Restart button which didn't work. The last to tries the button worked, so I'm not sure what's going on there.

However, I did again try the tutorial and nothing on that screen does anything that I can tell:


I hope that helps!

Submitted

OK, just tried the tutorial again and found the space button moves the tutorial along. since I had just clicked with the mouse on the buttons I thought I was supposed to click and it did nothing so I just assumed it wasn't finished. That being said I bumped your score, however I would recommend adding a comment to tell the player which button to use to continue with the tutorial. Thanks!

Developer

that was actually in the description of the game lol

The audio is good, the map could be more detailed becasue the direction you're supposed to go in is a bit unclear, so maybe add coins along the path the player is supposed to take. The camera angle feels a bit small and restrictive.

Other than that, everything looks fine, and with more work done on the game it can definitely improve a lot.

First off, I was digging the bg music. good stuff. This game has some good potential for an obby-avoid the obstacles type of game, but with some tweaks:

  • collisions (ex: clipping through the stage on the tutorial) 
  • Sfx (the motor of the vehicle overpowered any other audio)
  • I LOVED how the camera automatically shifts for you. It would be nice if it were panned more upwards though.
  • Rather hard to gain control low speeds, touching anything or going uphill if you aren't at max speed is cumbersome

With some polish, this can be a great game

Funny small driving game! The driving mechanic felt a little weird. My favorite map is the city!
