simple, fun, and polished well. love the art. Just it feel hard when the car is facing right, and to move in that direction must press W, maybe just not used to it. overall good job completing the game!
Thank you!
This was fun! i died so many times lol. solid game!
Thank you!
Fun little racing game with a unique twist! Great take on the theme.
Thank you!
Great take take for the theme, with clean and nice graphics. Well done!
Thank you!
That was a hell of a challenge! I did pretty good for the first couple stages, but when I got to that zig zag area on the 3rd stage, I performed terribly. Reminded me of mall parking lots.
Thank you for the feedback!
I forgot to mention I had a great time with it. I love those top down car games, even if I'm pretty bad...
Nice game, reminds me when im driving in my country and that is to be careful of the holes ^^
Thanks!
Such a cool aspect for the theme! I liked the constant fear and also at the same time trying to balance the mana :) Very simplistic, but still great!
Thank you :)
Nice game. I would say I prefer the first dimension where I don't lose automatically when I crash into things :) Because there's the time element a thought is to have more obstacles in the second dimension but have them less severe and only impact your time.
Thank you for the feedback!
Same for me ;) like to not explode but to make an extraturn - finish first, get faster later ;) but exploding is still a completely viable option xD
Good game. Enjoyed it quite a bit. Well done.
Thank you!
It was fun. It suits for the theme
Thank you!
Very cool game, enjoyed it a lot.
Great game!!nice concept
Cool!
Thank you!
Very fun game, I really like the concept and the controls felt super good. I could only suggest a few things to improve:
Thank you for the feedback!
I haven't even thought about adding a restart option!
I found myself inching along despite race being in the name. The idea of this game reminded me of what crash bandicoot 4 did - show the obstacles in both dimensions but swap the collisions, imho something like that would make this game twice as fun!
Thank you for the feedback!
In fact, I'm barely playing racing games or other kinds of games, so I gave up on the controls. Even though there's a setting where you can set the sensitivity, I can't. And #cmiiw, if you steer it to the right and move it, shouldn't it be in the same direction? For example, if I move and turn the car to the right, then I go back, it will move in that direction and return to its original position right? But yours will move to opposite direction. This is very hard control for me.
It's good you limit the manna so players can't abuse the game. But it decreased so fast. I can't even finish the stage with some turrets with 5-8 trials. And the turret's color should be different from the grass. I can't spot the turrets easily.
Thank you for the feedback! I was aware of the car moving in the wrong direction when you go backward, but unfortunately, I didn't have the time to fix it. As for the mana decreasing so quickly, I probably should have had someone playtest my game.
Challenging game with a good premise and execution. I felt the mana bar decreased too quickly; to improve it you could make it fill up when unused. The steering was a bit too sensitive for me. However, the look of the game was consistent, and the theme was well interpreted. Well done!
Thank you for the feedback!
I felt the same way about the steering, and that's why you have the option to adjust the sensitivity in the settings when you pause the game or in the main menu. But no problem.
That was fun, controls took a bit of getting used to as I am not used to KnM. I really liked how the obstacles were placed on the racing line, devious!
Thank You!
Great game, I had alot of fun playing it
Thank you!
I liked that mana thing so we can't just spam the other dimension great Game
good job 🔥❤
Thank you!
gameplay feels smooth and responsive. I love how risk/reward-y it is to use mana. Really enjoyed this one, Great job!!
Thank you!
