It works really nicely. Once I understood what I was doing it's actually really strategic. 
I tried playing some games with a friend last night too. The MP is really easy to setup, but we did have to both refresh page after each skirmish. Thanks for making this, it's a clever little game.

I don't really understand how to play. How do I make a specific unit go to a specific tile? Clicking a tile changes it from G1 to G2 etc, but how does that affect which unit goes where? Ok, I take it back, I figured it out. And it's very cool. I think maybe you could make it clearer that the G1,G2 etc numbers are the priority that your units assign to holding that hex

This one was awesome! Sound/Visuals really came together nicely, the level design was nice and messing up all those goons was a good time.I couldn't figure out how to kill the boss at the end, but the rest of it was excellent. NGL drifting the bike around the building at the end made me wanna do a drifting game in EFPSE lol

It's really nice and mellow and I'm murdering those deer en-masse.

I gave it a go, but I really struggled to see anything at all with the blue/darkness.
Weapon feel was really cool tho, liked that gun!

Visuals and overall theme were really solid on this one, and I very much liked the end. Actual choice. I did really struggle with the jump+boost mechanic, just couldnt get the timing, and while the voice was realy cool, at times I couldn't understand it. Minor crit though. really nice to see a clean, hi-res EFPSE project with great lighting.

I had legitimiate fun with this one. I never thought that dodgeball and Exit8 would be a mashup I wanted to play, but it was really good. 

The weapon concept was really nice.  When it told me to choose combat or running, I ran

Very cool that you bent the engine to do this. Not just a hack either, this is legit game feel for a platformer!

ooooh that is interesting, I don't know why! Did you remap the controls at all?

yooo, thank you for the long feedback, it's much appreciated.
You can actually load a game if you quit out. 
You just go to new game and then when you arrive in the level, talk to the red remembering stone.
I had real issues with load/save but will make that clearer in a later build.
Thank you for playing it, and for taking the time to write comprehensive feedback :) I'm glad it inspired you, and do go ahead and steal the ideas! If you need help with implementation, hit me up

I wish I knew. Windows anti-virus reacted that way to every game in the Jam for me. Win11 is bonkers, they wanna force you into the windows store, so they flag everything that isn't from a 'known' publisher as 'dangerous'. 

Yo, thanks so much dude, I'm really happy you enjoyed it :)

Yeah, those bats are a55holes huh? Thank you for playing and commenting, really appreciate it! <3

Love these sounds. I used them (and your SFX pack) in my game and they went perfectly with the vibe. Thanks!

This asset pack is really nicely put together.
Used it in my game and it totally worked with the vibe.

Really nice asset pack, nicely presented and laid out in the files too. Thanks.
I used it in my FPS game and it really worked :)
https://flappyfingers.itch.io/voidmagic

Great asset pack! I used it in my FPS jam project. 
Thank you for making it and giving it away :)

This pack is awesome, it formed the basis of a Tileset for my FPS jam project. Thank you for making it!

This is a really cool tool, thank you for sharing it for free :)

Sorry for the incredibly slow reply, I was locked in a cupboard.
It's made in Clickteam Fusion, a game engine almost as advanced as Unreal5.

Brilliant. Loved the art style and minimalism, nice sound design touches and the pitch black story was excellent. Good stuff!

Agree on arcade mode completion!
I'd actually "Completed" about 4-5 runs before I realised that I hadn't run out of time, I'd finished the game.
I was originally going to post a bug that sometimes the race finishes before I've run out of time!

Having a chequer flag/line/sign or having the car zip into the distance like it does in the GrandPrix would be preferable

Thanks for making this game it's absolutely Brilliant.
Was a big player of Lotus Esprit  Turbo Challenge back on the Atari520ST and this totally relives those memories for me.
Game is blisteringly fast, drifting past someone on a bend while in SlipStream feels amazing, some of the tracks are absolutely gorgeous and the soundtrack is on point.

This was well worth my 10bucks.

Just finished the Diamond Cup, still got a way to go on the Arcade mode tho.

Minor Feedback:

TBH, I've had a great time, and think for a solo dev you've done an absolutely incredible job, but what would feedback be without a little bit of crit ;)

1) Would be nice if there was an indicator to let you know how long/sharp a corner would be (like you get in rally games, a little sign popping up over the car so you know how long the next corner will be).

2) It took me about an hour of play to realise that the word SLIPSTREAM spells it self in the bottom right of the screen as I charge it. You NEVER look here while you're playing (infact, if you do, you crash), would be much better to indicate this over the car, or have the Slipstream VFX start to gradually build up as you gain it.

3) Small thing, but the accuracy required for tight drifts through chicanes is really hard on triggers (since they're a throttle, not an absolute), once I changed my controls to RB and LB instead of RT and LT, I had a MUCH better experience, maybe default to these?

That's it.

Again, great game and congratulations.

The game is now available on Steam EA, please can I get a steam code (as was promised with this purchase)

Hey, so first up, great game!
I've clocked about 10 hours at this point, and I'm still having a blast.

Art direction, soundtrack, vfx and level design are really nice. The world looks really fantastic, love the variety and the forna. Character design is really nice too, with Solus enemies being really nicely defined and the player character (and mutations) looking really cool. Basically, good job, it all works together really nicely.

Also a really big fan of all the little secret levels where you unlock new weapons and gear. Getting the Lift down inside a security system or going into one of the Native/Solus caves is really cool.

Obviously I think the game is really nice ( I wouldn't put in 10 hours if I wasn't having fun), but that obviously means I have some feedback and suggestions :)

1) *Sorry, just saw this is already knwn** There's a certain secret area that requires you to dodgeroll across 2 collapsing platforms to reach an otherwise inaccessible area, if you fail the second dodgeroll the respawn drone tries to drop you on the first collapsing platform (that has now collapsed). You just repeatedly fall until you run out of health. Even holding right ( to try and land back on the solid ground) you can't fall far enough to make it.
Perhaps it would be nice to allow the player to steer the respawner drone a little bit, so that in this kind of situation you'd be able to avoid getting perma-dropped. Alternatively, don't detect collapsible platforms as "Safe ground" for a respawn.

2) Often when collecting Munitions powerups from the edge of wrecked platforms, the crate will just fire the collectables off the edge of the map into oblivion. It seems there's some general jankiness in the collection detection when there are multiple items overlapping, which can mean jigging items around until the one you want to collect is in the right space, perhaps with collectables like health/DNA/Nades, they could have some slight attraction to the player, so that within a radius they move towards you?

3) This is just a personal preference, but I find the aiming to feel a little floaty. Initially I really hated it, and perservered because I liked the game (and obvs improved auto aim is a buff-able stat so you want to leave room for it to get better), but often I found that I simply can't aim fast enough when there are multiple enemies. It would be nice if as a player I could adjust the smoothing on the stick aim, so that I can make it more responsive if that's how I want to play.

4) I think the Solus creatures are really nicely defined and easy to identify, but the Droids are really hard to tell apart. In the heat of battle it's really difficult to tell the difference between the different weapons and abilites that the droids have. I know that part of a roguelite is learning this stuff, but a few more variations of droid (in size and colour) would really help tell the difference between the different types. Knowing the difference between a white flamer droid and a white rocket droid is really tough at the moment. Perhaps colour coded by weapon? Make the flamers white, the stun droids blue, assault droids black etc, basically help the player to identify between each different droid type more easily.

5) I might be wrong about this, but are droid/creature spawns random? I've often cleared an area of the map, then returned there later with a key or a detonator to find it over-run again with droids. Again, just personal preference (and it will make the game easier), but I think once an area is clear it shouldn't then be repopulated. The game is at the challenging end of the difficulty scale as it is. In addition, you can't simply choose to walk straight to the exit in a map (and avoid a bunch of potential combat), as the neccessity to find keys, detonators etc forces you to explore every area. With health limited, and combat often punishing, having to fight 2 sets of enemies - one when you reach the door and another set of them when you return with the key, seems like the game being harsh on me. Additionally, having this constant stream of enemies doesn't really encourage me to explore (and there's loads of cool interesting stuff to find), since I'm always aware that every diversion will cost me additional health. When I'm playing I kind of which I could "clear" and area, then be able to explore it and look for secrets in peace!

6) Small UI thing, but the grenades that the black assault droid throw are marked with a little white UI element, that looks really similar to the little white UI elements that mark collectables. In the heat of battle it's really easy to confuse the 2. Perhaps the Grenade UI element could be like, RED or flashing or something. Similarly, some of the white droids seem to throw a torso? or Arm? or bomb? when they're killed, that kinda rolls at you and explodes. It seems odd to me that the game marks the grenade hazard, but not these kamikazi bombs.

7) Again, small thing, but the hit distance for the flamer seems to reach slightly further than the actual particles of the flamer itself. You can be dodging the particles and still be set on fire.

8) This one is probably contentious, but, I'm playing the game in 16:9. This means that left-right I have almost twice the field of view that I have up-down. Now, obviously the game is Isometric, so it looks cooler when you're moving up/down the screen because you see more depth and whatever, but the combat works better left-right because you have a better field of view, when fighting up/down you have half the space and half the reaction time to what your enemies are doing.. I think it would be nice if the camera panned up/down a little when you move the reticle to the top/bottom of the screen. Basically, if I push the reticle to the very top of the screen, the camera would pan up, moving the player from centre screen to the bottom third, and allow me to see a bit further up ahead.

9) In the DNA screen, its almost impossible to scroll when using the controller. Hovering over the scrollbar also selects the adjacent DNA.

Anyway, that's probably enough of a text wall from me. It's a really great game, and I'm going to keep playing. Looking forward to seeing where it goes in the future :)

Thanks dude, I'll be working on a bit of an update for next week. Really appreciate the comment :D

This game was SUPER fun. Just finished playing through.
Thanks for making it, very much looking forward to more!

Nice atmosphere and cool art.
So far I've got to the second world. Really like the upgrade/inventory/energy system. Forces you to be selective with what you carry.
Thanks!
