This is a very cool game!!!!!

This was an interesting one, You could definitely feel the speed when you really went down a straightaway at top speed which was super fun, but I definitely did notice some buggy collisions when going up and down slopes. Good job though!

Yeah we had to waste most of one of only 4 days we could work on the project trying to fix that, didn't work out too well. Thanks for playing

Very ridiculous indeed! Felt like I was going through the warp gate in 2001 whenever I held down the accelerator for too long. Had a lot of fun blowing up those suckers on the track who didn't know that all they needed to do was just travel at the speed of light to win. Fun game!

Man I love how you can just accelerate infinitely in a straight line, the zoom effect makes it feel so absurdly fast too! Super satisfying to punch the racers out as well. Nicely done!

Why don't all the real life F1 drivers just blow the other cars up like this? Are they dumb? (Fun game btw)

Submitted

None of the cars blew up when I crashed into them!

Loved how fast I could go! And the art is really charming. Was that motor sound a cat? A human voice? It haunts me.

Thanks for playing! The motor sound was in fact a human voice 👻. The main mechanic of the game was to blow up other players by punching their engine; on PC, this would be using SPACE or clicking mouse when near another player (this is outlined in the tutorial).

super fun, maybe the controls were a little sliding but fun nonetheless. love the mix of 2d drawing and simple 3d geometry

Looks like we went in a very similar direction. 

Drove around the loop for 3 minutes passing the other driver, but the game told me I lost. Dunno what that was about

Developer(+1)

The goal of the game was to destroy the other karts, not to go fastest. We were planning to add a totally super secret win method to win by getting first but it kind of subtracts from the point

Submitted(+1)

Ha. I didn't play the tutorial so i didn't even notice the punch mechanic lol

Developer(+1)

It should have said in the story mode, but I can see how you'd miss that

Submitted(+1)

Yeah there was talk of punching but I didn't figure it out since mouse clicks seemed to do nothing (cause I wasn't near another driver)

Submitted(+1)

this game is cool ! , i hope you will try my game 🧡

Submitted(+1)

Really cool. It was very fun to play. I really live the driving mechanics in general it feels good to play. Good work!

Submitted(+1)

Probably my favorite game I've played this jam.  Friend and I were losing it every time a cart blew up lol. Awesome premise, awesome game feel. Third level I genuinely had to lock in and strategize. PEAK

Submitted(+1)

Love the clean UI and having multiple maps was great.

I found some of the races to be too easy but it's a great start.

Known bug that was missed on export:
You can't get to the final race from the 3rd race (loop one)

If you want to play it then just use the level select menu
