Great game! The controls feel nice, and the art is great!

Submitted

A fun idea with great art and music however I did experience a couple bugs other than that his was a fun game with a lot of potential

Please could you try my game?https://itch.io/jam/boundless-game-jam/rate/1103809

Submitted

Really fun entry, had some AWESOME music, good job!

Developer

Thanks, Mono Grav was also great!

Submitted

The artwork is good and the driving/drifting felt really good (at least in the starting gear). Overall wonderful job and keep up the hard work!

Recommendations:

  • Switching Gears - This was quite frustrating. If you intend to keep this game based on a single input (LMB), you can try letting the player double-click to switch gears/boost.
  • [R]estart Button - Many times, I would try to change gears, only to be blasted in the wrong direction. Having a restart button would have helped make this a little more manageable. This also shouldn't conflict with the theme since the Restart button has no gameplay influence.
  • Checkpoints - These need to be large enough to cover most of the lane. If you emphasize "short cuts," then this actually hurts the game quite a lot. You should never give the player a path that would prevent them from meeting with a checkpoint, instead create shortcuts that diminish the time between checkpoints and force the player back into the lane.
  • Level Progression - If you have to unlock levels, please save that information; otherwise, just make all of the levels available from the start. There's no reason to prevent the player from checking out level 3 even if they were unable to complete level 1/2. It is just a game jam, let everyone see how much work you put into it!

Thanks for your awesome and detailed feedback. I will try to add them!

It has a lot of stuff that I like but I think you might have been trying to do a little too much for the limitation. Switching gears was a bit of a hassle since it turned my car around sometimes while trying to mouse over the new gears. Sometimes it felt like it just changed gears without me doing anything. On the first level, some of the cacti peak out over the tops and bottoms of the walls, make them hittable. I'm pretty sure I won my first race, but I guess I didn't hit all the checkmarks so it said I lost. I'd be nice if there was some feedback to the checkpoints so I knew I'd hit them.

The art was mostly good, but not always consistent. It feels like with a little more time, or with less limitations this could be really cool.

Thanks for your detailed feedback! I am definitely going to try adding some!

Not the most creative idea but you implement it really well! I love the graphics and the music is fantastic! Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback <3

Ooh cool game! The music was just the right amount of stress. 

I made a driving game too if you want to check it out.

Developer(+1)

Thanks, I will definitely check it out when I'm free :)!

Submitted

Nice game. Really enjoyed it

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

the art is good but it is not that easy to press a different pedal while steering

Developer(+1)

I tried adding slow motion when steering but definitely needs some work, thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

I really like it its really fun there were a few bugs here and there but nothing to big but nice game. if you don't mind checking my game out feedback would really be appreciated.

Developer

Thanks, everybody says bugs lol, your game was also cool

Submitted

Really cool game, love de music and the art style! There were a few bugs, but nothing that bothers the gameplay, great work!

Developer

Thanks, yes web is a bit buggy :(

Submitted

I like your idea.  Good job.

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Nice little game. I liked the art, and the music was quite catchy. I would suggest adding timer before races start, and also walls' colliders at some places are too high and because of that I got stuck out of nowhere. Overall game felt good and it was fun to play, well done!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. I will definitely add a timer

Submitted

Really nice game, though the UI was a bit buggy

Developer

It's about GMS Web export :(

Submitted

There are some issues with the UI but the game was really fun overall.  Good job :D

Developer

I know that problem nothing to do :( GMS exports to web like this.

Submitted

There were a few buggy artifacts here and there, but overall it's a really cool game!

Developer

Yes, it's a problem with the web version. Thanks!

Submitted

A bit buggy. Oh well, that is why i do not trust gms with HTML XD 
But other than the occasional bugs it is okay~

Developer(+1)

people don't play much without the web lmao.

Thanks. Yes sadly, gms web needs some different settings for web and I couldn't get them right :(

Submitted

Cool and fun game, the timer was off-screen from some reason but I had a lot of fun, I like it, good job

Developer

Thanks, I didn't test other resolutions maybe it can be about it.
