A fun little time trail train racing game. I like it!
Couldn't get use to the drifting personally, but I bet with time you could master it :D
nice job :)


Could you please rate my game too? Trying to get some more votes so I know what to change next time :D

hello there..

the things i enjoyed about the game were, trying to beat the ghost, and the drifting mechanic with the train was pretty good..


things that could be improved:

the graphics looked kind of retro and also the particles

the frames didnt feel all that smooth

after beating the track for the third lap the ghost stopped working

Good job

Definitely a fun game!  The drifting is fun and having AI to race against is great.  I was impressed that the ghost train seems to do something a bit different each time (sometimes burning me, sometimes crashing out, sometimes something in between), which keeps it interesting.  If you develop it further, one adjustment you might make is to be sure the AI completes the course.  On my personal best race (6th or 7th ghost train), the ghost train crashed, skipped over half the course and beat me.  But that only appeared once, and it was a fun game - nice work!

Developer

Yes! I wanted to add a feature to reset the AI if it crashed, but I ran out of time. Sorry you lost to the AI jumping around I was aware of that happening, but it was sort of rare. Thanks for playing :D

Ooo a personal best speed running game! I had no idea what I was getting into but I had a good time. The controls were a little tough but I think that works for this game because it leaves a lot of room to get better. I enjoyed seeing how much I improved each time around and would have loved some measure of score (maybe time elapsed) so that I could measure progress game to game. I would have also loved a reason to stay on the tracks (maybe a speed boost or easier turning) just because I think it makes sense for a train game. Good job!

Developer

Thanks! A timer is a good idea that I didn't even consider! The tracks do speed you up a bit, but because I was using the friction in physic materials to determine the speed, I wasn't able to "fine tune" it like I wanted. I realized after the jam I could have determined the speed by using the individual tiles which would have worked a lot better. Cheers! :)

I tried the game 3 times and ghost was stuck around. Other than that there was no issue! I actuallt had fun with drifting and heavy controls! 

Developer

Thanks! The ghost was not coded the best I have about 20 ideas on how to make it better now that the jam is over haha

Really like the drifting ! :D *Eurobeat intensifies*

I gotta be honest with you, I'm not a fan of this kind of artstyle, but still, played it for 10 minutes and it's freaking fun! If you work on the visuals some more and some gamedesign, you could turn these mechanics in some hypercasual mobile game. Good luck!

Developer

Wow thanks! This was my first time using tilemaps and they don't really matchup with my 3d modeled train so I'll agree with you there :)

In the first round I thought the ghost isn't real but I were mistaken.
