Very few games have attempted to do a controller-compatible game, and you sir have done an amazing job! I was just missing the ability to look around a little using the right joystick, as well as the ability to drift with the left trigger.
All in all though, great work!
AI is a tad too fast, they're far ahead before i can even turn to see them, I like the graphics and audio, good job on that.
Cool! First racing game I’ve seen in this jam, interesting way of incorporating rewinding into it
I almost made a very similar game, but I changed my mind about time traveling midway through, with the main reason being it felt kinda pointless going backwards in a racing game, and I think it kind of applies here, the optimal way to play is to not use the rewind, right?
I really missed a brake button though, especially near the end where the curves come out of nowhere because of all the twists in the track. My shots would always miss as well, since it would always shoot at an upward or downward angle.
And I was very surprised to see the game has no keyboard controls, even though I had already pulled out my controller before even trying. You can always put a "Controller preferred" sign somewhere but to take away completely the possibility of playing with keyboard is, at the very least a bit curious, considering the inputs involved. Does it rely that heavily on analog controls? I couldn't notice, and considering the racing game I'm most familiar with is CTR played on a d-pad, I don't think I would anyways.
Hey man - thanks for the really detailed feedback.
The rewind is very useful, it also rewinds your lap time, so it's useful for undoing mistakes or getting yourself back on track before you are killed when going off the track. Now that you mention it though, I don't think it rewinds the other racer haha!
You're not the first person to mention keyboard support. I guess I just considered racing games to be one of those no-no genres when it comes to playing with a keyboard, with the ideal situation being to have some sort of steering wheel rig. But hey, it's definitely something I could work in.
Cheers for the feedback.
Damn! Couldn't even finish one lap. AI always beat me. Even using the FF.
Game is nice though
Do I have to use a controller? I cannot click on anything in the main menu.
Yes sir, there's a note in the download instructions. I find that it's the only real way to play driving games without a steering wheel.
Great idea. AI is hard and faster than I can line the car up and use the rewind beam on them. Cool style for the visuals.
Cheers dude. The normal AI should definitely be beatable . Using your boost is key.
I got stuck on main menu. I have tried clicking every button on my keyboard and nothing happened :(
Hey man, are you using a controller?
No, Mouse & Keyboard. Your game can be play only with controller?
Yes sir, there's a note in the download instructions.
