Great game! I loved the idea of improving our car by dragging and dropping part to it. But I am a bit confused about the purpose. Are we getting points by improving our car? Other than that good job ^^

Nice game! I enjoyed dragging and dropping all of the parts onto my car and watching me speed up after braking. I would love an easier to read tutorial. GG! I enjoyed. If you have time, could you check our game out? It's about a car and some chickens :D

It took me a minute to realise that you could combine junk parts. After a while the new parts started appearing too close to be useful though

Developer

Yes being at the front requires a very fast reaction, otherwise you'll have to use the brakes to gain the amount of area you can control. Overall it has some room for balancing improvements but hopefully that doesn't subtract too much from the experience.

This is really awesome. I had a little trouble installing parts on the car, but when it worked it was very satisfying. I like the look of the game a lot and I feel like this could be developed even further. Great job. 

Developer

Really glad you like the direction this game took! There were many decisions regarding the bot players and visuals I wasn't confident in, but hearing feedbacks like this makes it worth the struggle 💙

Installing parts on the go is already fun enough, but the crafting adds another layer of fun, definitely something I would play more, great work!

thank you so much! thats really motivating to hear 😊

I really like the unique idea and the artwork and aesthetic of the game! It was a bit difficult to equip the parts but the game is really fun!

I loved it! It was a bit tricky to grab stuff and I felt I often did not equip parts I wanted. But the crafting aspect was a great mechanic!

Would love to see a full game based around building the car during the race!

pretty cool! i like the idea, and the graphics are nice as well :)

Unique concept, I had fun though it was pretty tough to grab the parts and manage my breaks and all the other cars got very far ahead :D

Submitted(+1)

fantastic game icon/title btw, that really pulled me in :)

Developer (1 edit)

for grabbing the collision detection is a bit delayed so have to drag slightly forward 😅 

and glad to know the covers made a difference, great feedback!

Interesting idea, a tutorial would have made a world of difference. It was fun either way, well done!

It's a neat game! Would've been nice to have sound but still very creative concept and nice visuals.

Very neat idea, took a while to understand exactly how it worked though. The tutorials did explain everything but a combination of font choice and using icons instead of words made it hard to understand (especially since they advanced automatically).

Developer

thank you! looking back I can't even read some of it myself xd, those last 10 min rushed handwritings are rly smth else. I think visual feedbacks would've been a major improvement too

This is really impressive for the time! I liked the combining things mechanic, and it was a cool idea to have it tied into there being distance between the cars! I liked that it makes the player frantically move objects around the screen.

Developer

oh tell me about it haha, had to do all the coding and tuning in the final 20 hours. hopefully the game itself is not as frantic and more enjoyable 🤣

Cool mechanics (unintended pun)

Really fun racing game, I liked the combining pieces to make other stuff as well. The visuals of it all worked really great as well. -Kaylee

Interesting game! I really enjoyed the chaos of trying to find pieces!

Interesting racing game!  I like the unique take on racing here.

Fun game! Loved the frantic gameplay, trying to keep the car max speed for as long as you can. Fun to make sure you don't get stuck close behind a car so you can keep collecting pieces

Developer

bingo, you figured out all the mechanisms behind the idea!! glad you had fun 😊
