Good Game!
GREAT GAME!!
The controls are simple enough, like in old racing games. There are no car physics, but it drives good enough for a game jam.
The chill music is a change of pace from the usually high BPM, intense music racing games have; and here we have to slow down to dodge the cones, so I think it sets the mood for it. But the lack of an engine sound is very noticeable when driving a car, it would add a lot having it.
The car model is awesome, the cones are good and the track is ok, but the emptiness on the sides makes the game look very unfinished. Adding simple trees, bushes, walls and/or fences here and there near the road would help improve the visuals. And may also discourage players from going off the road at some points to avoid the cones (I'm guilty of doing that).
And I also tried cutting from the first curve through the middle to the last curve, but the lap didn't count. Good job with the implementation! 😋 Then without cheating, my best time was 179.2339
Thank you for your detailed reply for the game. You are on the top of a imaginary leaderboard for the game with your Best time- 179.2339.
Nice basic little game. Keep up the good work.
Oh, it's my exam at the driving school :)
It's interesting, but the controls are rather counter-intuitive.
Nice music, and cool car-model.
The gameplay is fun, although its not "feeling" like driving a car. it's more like the old mario-cart :)
Hi!
Best time 249.532 :D, as you can see, I didn't hurry, instead - I enjoyed it! Well I like this game, I didn't play it for evaluation but for enjoyment, my second best time is 200.35 :).
The music is just perfect for this game! Did you write this music yourself?
In the comment you described the controls, but I would like to see it in the game, since players rarely pay attention to the comments, but if there is information about it in the game, then it is only a plus as for me.
The car looks cool! I sometimes cut the road on the curb :D, but somehow I started to wonder if I would be able to finish the lap if I drove along the curb back to the start - no, then the lap does not count, good job! But now I wonder how this moment was realized, whether with the help of time spent on the curb outside the road, if there are any control points... :).
I was thinking that maybe it would be good to add a speedometer, but I think it's fine without it, because then I might pay more attention to it, instead of just enjoying the road ahead :). I also think if I could drift…
Maybe it would be more fun to see, in addition to the entry time, your top speed for the segment, all that kind of thing...
Thanks, I had fun, congratulations!
Thank you very much for playing the game. Also thank you very much for showing interest in the game by giving your response which is very detailed and positive. It means a lot to me. Even I like the game because of the same things you mentioned. I did not write the music for the game. The music is from the GDevelop software which has a CC0 license. I also find the car to be cool and I made the car in Blender. Best time- 200.35 is really great. Congratulations to you also for your game and best of luck for this game jam. Also best of luck to everyone for their game for this game jam.
Sat Shri Akaal paaji, good game.
Nice to see someone speaking in Punjabi because I am a Sikh by religion. Makes me happy. Thank you. It is nice to see your positive message.
i enjoyed the music a lot. the controls were tough because you just picked up speed at a rate similar to slowing down and that didnt make it feel like a car so much also like others said a car sound would of been nice and maybe some drag in the grass but overall very cool
Game with potential, my real issue is with the sounds, the music feels off and with "Power of Engine" I expected motor sounds. Otherwise, nice game keep it up !
The game is not a simulation video game. So, there can be music in the game and no sound of the car.
Car game made with the engine I use? Hell yeah! Is it good? Well...
Okay, positives first. I like the graphic's, reminds me of that one Sega racing game on the Saturn. The music is also pretty nice too.
Okay, here are my critiques. The controls are a bit frustrating, due to the fact that you can't turn as sharp without braking. Also, driving on the grass is the same speed as driving on the track, so what's the point?
Other than that, all this game needs isa healthy dose of polish for it to be the great game it was meant to be.
The game is made with GDevelop game engine. GDevelop does not support shadows on other objects. Using a light object in GDevelop can help get shadows in the game on other objects but the game will not look nice because using a light in GDevelop will give a different visual effect to the game and not a natural visual effect of sun light. So, Power Engine Power is like a old school style computer game with a modern look and feel. It is not a simulator like Gran Turismo which is available for Playstation. According to me the controls of the game are fine because it is a very fast car which accelerates very fast. So, the radius of the car taking the turn at greater speed will be more compared to lesser speed. The car can be thought of having all-terrain tyres and the slow down of the car on grass is not noticeable and is negligible because the game is not a simulator. If you still don't get the point then leave it to your imagination. You can imagine things like the surface is painted with the grass colour or it is just a different world in the game. According to me the game is nice and does not need any polish. I appreciate your interest in the game and thank you very much for playing the game. The music in the game has a CC0 license. I think all of your questions about the game are answered.
It's a bit frustrating to die immediately when hitting a pole. The music is rather nice though!
Love this and the take on the theme is uniqu
Ahahha, i must admit. The game is not all there. But it's really charming, in a weird way. And the MUSIC is amazin! Where did you get it
Game looks dope, you can really get hella zoomin but there's nothing that really keeps you on the track vs just driving around all the obstacles haha
Thank you for your nice reply. I really appreciate it.
While very basic its still cool, Nice work!
Thank you for your kind words.
