How does your game fit the theme?

A little bit frustrating, and has not much instructions or a tutorial on how to operate the game. But still, the graphics were nice and theres intuitive audio though annoying. Nice game!

Developer

Ah a tutorial probably would have helped a bit.  Thanks for trying it out!

at first I was convinced it would just be impossible to control, but after getting a feel for the lag, it can be pretty fun to predict when to turn. It seemed that each track had a sharp turn where you would spend the majority of the time bouncing around which got a little frustrating. The sound effects can get a little repetative. All in all a fun game.

Developer

Right!  My thought was to almost make it like a rhythm game with the turns.  The idea of the choke points is to bunch up all the cars and level the playing field a bit.  Thanks for playing it!

It's very annoying at first, but after a few tries, it starts to be very fun.

Good job!

Developer

Haha yes a bit of a learning curve there.  Thanks for checking it out!

OMG I am really bad driver! You start to get the timing and the turns. 

Fun to see all bad drivers on the road. lol

Developer

Haha this game does that to you.  I guess represents real life in that way haha.

Pretty fun, but it can get really frustrating to play. There should be some sort of visual cues as to when the car will do something random.

Developer

Thanks so much!  That's what I was going for.  Good idea, in the future I want to make the game sort of more predictable.

This is my favorite game of the jam so far. Really fun and really chaotic feeling.

Developer

Thanks so much!

10/10 would lag again. Welcome to the bouncy games club!

Developer

Haha that's right!  Thanks!

Really funny. Its weird how one slight change alters how you engage with the game so much. It would have been really nice if there were some better textures and middles, but I think the one thing this game is missing is music (Think F-Zero, but with a tinny banjo!) Great Job!

Developer

Yep, that's totally right.  I ended up spending too much time on gameplay and ignoring other stuff as always, haha.  Thank you for playing!
