A very fun a game. It was fun that the car drove by it self for the added challenge. Driving over the speed pads didn't feel like my car was going faster. Overall a great game!
Thank you for the feedback! Nice idea for the speed pads! They are actually just there to look nice. :-) The main difficulty is that it gets faster and faster, so speed pads would be something to avoid, which in turn would make an interesting obstacle. I'll add speed boosts and speed bumps to my to do list!
Pretty cool! I always enjoyed these kind of games growing up so I rather liked playing this :) I ended up getting to 17 points which I was pretty happy with. A bit of constructive criticism: I felt having both the cones and tires not being crashable was a bit pointless other than aesthetics, I think it would work a bit better if colliding with at least the tires was a game over. Maybe tweaking the exhaust particles to make them a bit more pixelated would be nice too. Other than those couple points, this was really fun to play, so good work!
Excellent feedback! Thank you! Good idea to add pixel art sprites to the particle system. Yes, I’ll have to think of how to differentiate the cones and tyres, the only difference is the sound and ‘weight’, but I suppose I could introduce some kind of damage system with the tyres. Anyway, thanks again!
YOOO, this game brings back so many memories with my old PHONEKEY racing game, I wish I could remember the name but the debris is a really nice touch. The game still has a lot of potential to be a full fledged racing game but I guess that's for you to decide. Really good game.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback Zenith Games! I had to quickly Google PHONEKEY then realised it was obvious :-) My inspiration actually goes back to Super Sprint, which I used to play on my cousin's Atari ST. In fact, a local multiplayer version could be the way to go.
IKR, those were the days when PHONEKEY used to dominate the entertainment world. Again good work on your game.
Hey, I liked the game ! But I was reaaally bad at it.
Good job !
I'm not that good myself :-)
music is a bit load a volume slider whould be nice also the theme dosent really fit the game but the idea is really greate
thank you for the feedback, why do you think it doesn’t fit the theme? I think it needs some in game instructions to help players understand what they need to do.
maby this is the reason i donst think it fits but i think every second game hase the same theme idea that an end of a level is a new beginning you know? overall your game is almost great beside the audio
Played for a while. For some reason, I really struggled getting more than a couple of points. I feel like maybe there should have been a little more time to move around before it restarted. Maybe even a free mode where you could drive around without getting a game over, because I found it kind of repetitive restarting the game every time I messed up.
thanks for the feedback and ideas, some kind of health bar might work I suppose.
It looks good.But there is too little content, I think if you develop this idea, something may turn out well, good luck
thank you for the feedback!
Cool looking game. Controls really nice. Nice little game!
Very cool little game! :) It looks, plays and sounds really good! The game was pretty challenging (for me), I've tried it for a bit but wasn't able to get a score higher than 3 😅😂
Thanks for visiting Rick! Loved your scrambled egg game too!
Cool game, there's a lot of neat interactions here with the obstacles. I think it would be cool to have a respawn or number of lives instead of instantly kicking back to the start screen on death. Props for creating everything in a week, nice work!
thank you for the feedback and ideas!
Nice looking game! Would have liked to see guidance on the goals.
thanks for the feedback!
To be honest I didn't quite know what to do at the beginning. I would also find it cool if something changed in the next run like the old car still drives the same but it blocks you or you don't get points for doing the same thing.
thanks for the feedback and ideas!
Cool game! I like the idea of making the end of the course the new beginning. I wish something changed when you completed it so it wasn't just doing the same course back and forth. Great game!
thanks for the feedback and the idea!
I didn't know what to do when it started ngl, but it's fun when you figure out
Nice work :D
it took me awhile to figure out what i had to do but then i found the game pretty cool
thank you for the feedback!
Cool idea! The game looks and sounds pretty good, buut it's way too hard for me. :(
One sound was a little annoying - the one when you bump into the obstacles - it's a bit too loud or something.
yeah, I think that was my electric guitar :-)
Really cool interpretation of the theme.
First I did not know exactly what the goal was and drove straight into the wall xD
Thank you for the feedback! Yes, a tutorial or at least an animation on the main menu is on my to do list :-)
I like the moving parts of the map being an obstacle that at first doesn't seem too in your way- but as you gain speed it begins to be harder and hard to time when you can "squeeze the gap". Also, you did a great job with the pixel art, it has a wonderful style and you have a nice little jam going. Fun game!
The car controls were fun, but the game was really challenging! Unfortunately, my high score was only 4 :( The pixel art and music were both great though, so overall, well done!
Thanks fazel1275! I'll have another go at getting that fox up in the trees on your game. I think I saw a gif somewhere with some snow that gave me a clue :-)
Really fun game once you get the hang of it! Love the concept, and everything quickly turns to chaos as you try to keep your car alive raking points. Great graphics, music, and polish!
thank you for the great comment!
