Well most of the little details I could see was already pointed out: bots, screen moving too early. Maybe juste the results of the wheel to choose next race length is said before the wheel stops... just a detail haha.

Apart from that, the game is fun, and I like that random part for the next race I just spoke about :)

I can tell a lot of work went into this game and the final product is a fun ride.  A couple of bugs such as getting stuck in a lower ground section when the screen has moved on. Otherwise, great stuff!

Developer

Thanks, ya I think I know the bug your talking about, the reason for it is due to the collision I use to detect camera move signals, and in that section for some reason, the collision just doesn't go far enough. Wish I could have fixed that bug if I only noticed it a bit earlier, thanks for playing though, glad to hear you liked it :)

Nice game! The graphics were nice and the game felt good to control, if a little fast. Also, I'd say that the bots were a bit too difficult - even on easy it was quite tough to beat. It was still a fun game, though!

Developer

Thanks, ya the bot was defiantly too hard, glad to hear you had fun :)

It's really fun! and hard... The art needs some work, especially with the UI. The music, was a bit painful to be honest... But, it's a great game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback I will agree art and music aren't my strong suits (it doesn't help that I wait till the last minute to make a song for the game), hopefully, with practice I'll get better, still trying to find a pixel art style I'm good at, thanks for playing :)

I also make music at the last minute!

Nice game! but very frustrating. That damn bot!

Maybe make the easy bot even easier?

Well played!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback, I completely agree I got kinda good at the game from having playtested a ton and forgot that others would have a similar level to me forgetting that others hadn't made the game and spent as long playing as I lol. I diffidently would make the bots a little easier if I were to change anything post-jam.

the bot is better than me.. How it is possible. phew...

Nice game BTW.

Developer

Thanks :)

fun game overall, very replayable... bot is a little too good though even on easy which can get a little frustrating. Still really enjoyed it. Nice art too

Developer

Thanks, glad to hear you enjoyed it, You are very right I made the bot a little bit stronger than intended for easy mode which was not ideal, glad to hear you still had fun :) Thanks for playing

I hate that stupid bot! He's terrible...and by terrible I mean really good. Good job on this game, it was a lot of fun to play. It was extremely frustrating but not because the controls were bad or anything, just because it doesn't candy coat things for you. Well done!

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks lol had me scared at the start there :),  I do think the game is a little harder than ideal and if I were to change anything I would change the title from easy mode to normal as some people who have played it have talked about how the medium mode was a huge struggle. Glad to hear you enjoyed though :).
