Haha, I couldn't tell which direction I had to take without looking at the other cars. I love the car designs and lighting btw!
Thank you!
This is a game at last! Super Cars comes to mind. For me, mouse control was a bit unusual, so if you go on, make it customizable. The pick ups are fine! Cool gfx & gameplay!
Come and see my Oldie too
Thanks for the feedback! It's A LOT better with controller, but I do need to improve it for mouse users. "This is a game at last"?
This is a game at last == at last sg that reminds me of my youngster games - I think.
Great execution of a racing game. Great music, great pixel art, and good vehicle physics. Plenty of powerups to keep things interesting. While I agree with some other reviewers that more sounds would help, I think what was done here stands well on its own. A very strong entry!!! Great Job!
Thanks for the feedback!
Lovely little game! The background music is great.
Also, I really liked all the little details.
Thank you!
I love these micro racer kind of games! But I really missed the sound effects hard in this entry more so than in most other titles missing any sound effects and I'm not sure why...
Anyway, super cool title!
Thank you for the feedback!
I really liked the music and the idea of the shopping carts! Congratulations!
Thank you!
OK, this was amazing. There is definitely a lot of that "oh yes this is so fun I'm doing so well even though I'm actually not but who cares I'm having fun" kind of feeling, mostly thanks to the music (the first track is a straight-up banger). However, I do feel like you could improve this with:
One more thing I'd like to mention is that I practically never stopped accelerating, so I wondered if maybe it could be even better if you were always accelerating toward the cursor, and used only the left and right mouse buttons for items? I feel like that would really add to the hectic feel of it all.
Overall, really nice and fun entry, with some more time could become a very enjoyable game.
The cars reminded me of Sokpop Collective btw.
Thanks for the great feedback!
I really haven't done many sound effects before, this was really my first big attempt. And if I had more time I'd work on the visuals. I'll see what I can do with the doppler, that's a really great idea - and thanks for adding a link!
So I built the game for controller with the analog stick being direction/acceleration and then wasn't sure what to do with the mouse. What I might do is one click to constantly go, one click to stop.
Thanks again!
I really like this!! All the powers were great! The best one was the shopping carts, I had a good laugh at that! You are a genius, Fantastic Jam!!!
Thank you for the feedback! Everyone seems to like the trollies, I thought the freeze ray would be the favourite. Thanks again!
A beautiful, interesting race with good AI!
There are not enough engine sounds.
Good luck in development =)
Thanks for the feedback! The ai have actually stopped reversing if they get stuck - don't know when that happened!
I didn't notice that. Sounds like a cheat =)
Wow! This was so much fun! I loved the different secret boxes! My favorite was the shopping carts filled with sunglass-wearing pineapples! haha. I wish there were more sound effects though. Other than that great job!
I'm a huge sprite-stacking fan too! ;P
Thank you so much for the feedback!
If you like sprite stacking consider checking out my 3d Sprite stacking engine for game maker studio 2.3! Love your models, really good stuff!
Thanks a lot for that! Your games look fantastic and I'll check it out after work!
Very fun! loved driving my janky lil car
Yeah, you're right
hahah, I like the random trolleys the most. I also struggled not knowing which direction to go to in the beginning, I just settled for 0 laps and went about in circles just picking up the mystery boxes xD. Nonetheless, overall great fun, music and graphics! Keep up the good work!
Hi thanks for the feedback! I'll add some signposts or arrows so you know where to go. It was a figure 8 track and the ai follow the track but I'll be making it more clear in future!
Nice retro racer! Wacky controls and tight graphics. Loved the music, but I kind of missed the engine sounds! And I couldn't really find the Neon-theme in this one to be honest. Rated!
Thank you! I took the engine sounds out because I didn't like them which was a mistake - I'll be including them back in!
Damn, I love it! Biggest gripe is how hard it is to instantly tell which car is mine at the start and that nothing seemed to tell me the way I have to drive first in the 8 shaped track.
But those are minor things. Fun game and sweet graphics
Thanks for the feedback. At the start of the race "P1" comes up over the car for a few seconds, but admittedly it is quite small, I'll make that thing bigger. And I'll add signposts to the track - playing your own game its obvious, so feedback from others is always great to have!
with a controller, the game is so fun! also love the idea of supporting 2 players.
Thank you so much! It supports 2 at the moment but I hacked it a bit so it's a bit janky...
nice!! its very fun and I love the 3d and physics.
you're right its a lot easier with controller and the boxes are cool. I swear that the ai wait for me to drive up to drop a magnet on me.
the maps are a little dark and i think there need to be something to tell you you're on the final lap.
Thanks. Yeah I was rushing towards the end and was intending on having more buildings on the last map and a lap indicator.
Controller recommended!
If anyone can't hear the sound effects, try it with headphones. That might fix it - sorry!
The lack of sounds is kinda weird, also i didn't quite get the goal of the game. Is it just endless?
The car visuals look dope though!
There are sounds, music & soundeffects. Have you got your headphones in?
I definetely did. I was talking about the car sounds, which is like, the main sound that should be in a racing game :)
Oh right yeah I had it in for a while but I wasn't happy with the sound. I'm not sure if we're allowed to upload a new version otherwise I'd put it back in.
A solid racer with some nice car physics. Reminds me of Micro Machines! I found playing with the mouse super odd - this should've been with the arrow keys instead. Also car sounds would've been nice.
The sound of the car, yes I did have that in but I wasn't super happy with the sound effect.
Cool little game!
The weapons are wild and the ai are a lil derpy but in a good way
Would have liked a title screen at the start like the one you have as the thumbnail
Thank you. I thought that the game didn't need one really but if I had more time I would have done an intro or something.
