Pretty cool game! I like the concept. The only issue I had, was sometimes the camera positioning wasn't ideal and it made it difficult to locate the enemy visually. However the use of positional audio helped in that regard. Good work!
Yeah, I feel it too! Camera positioning is the most challenging part when I make this game.
The only camera trick I add is it will switch to the enemy perspective when that enemy is about to chase you.
I’m currently listing other camera tricks that make it easy for the player to see both enemies and player vehicles. Let me know if anyone had some idea.
Cool game!
Hey a driving/riding game! Well done. There was a few times that I was knocked upside down and it took a few hits from the enemy to get me back up. Fried egg and oil would make this a blast!
Not bad! I would have liked to have control over the speed to be able to really do some damage. I really wanted to win, but I didn't want to nudge the enemy to death forever lol
Hmm, direct speed control probably not gonna happen. Maybe limited speed boost, leap attack, or brake 🤔
I want to keep the controller simple so it’s playable using only either with keyboard, mouse, or touch screen.
This was fun. I'm not sure what my character was supposed to be, a knife maybe? haha. Turning was a bit slow and there wasn't much of a win-state, but it was great otherwise. I think the vehicles could be a bit bigger for the size of the screen too.
It just a space fighter with Torus attached as a wheel 🙃🤣 (very lazy design indeed 😂)
Hmm, the max steering of both the player and the enemy is 15° but somehow the enemy has a better turning rate. I guess it’s related to how I distance the front and the rear wheel. Maybe I should add a variety of vehicles and let the player choose 🤔 (random vehicle might be fun too)
I guess I place the camera too far, Alright, need to shorten the spring_length.
Thanks for the feedback!
Nice and original, great to see a car battle game for this jam. I really like Sage7 idea, please add some food in the pan :D
I suggest to add more juice to the game: particles and other effects, camera shake, etc..
But overall the main core mechanics are very well done
Not really fan of camera shake but I will try adding zoom out and/or shake when crashing then see what it feels like.
To be honest I’m not yet learning how to create or add shader in Godot. So.. that will be my homework 😂
Just got an idea adding hot dog bun as a tunnel 😃
Thanks for the feedback 🙏
Really fun game! Would be cool if there were obstacles within the pan, like eggs or sausages or a puddle of hot oil. I really enjoyed shoving the car off the edge of the pan :D
Nice idea! After the voting is over I will add cold and hot oil as an additional stage. Just need to add StaticBody then modify the friction and it’s done. (hopefully)
Actually I’ve experiment adding fried egg before, however the A.I tend to get stuck 😂
That sounds great, looking forward to playing it! You need to add more oil so the egg doesn't get stuck :D
Or add random explosion and send it flying 😄
Sounds like a messy breakfast :D !!!
Very promising mechanic.
thanks
Well, this was a ton of fun, Enjoyed it a lot. Imagine a multiplayer with a ton of players going at it..a battle royale in the pan..
Good stuff!
The silly unfinished battle royale version is available on my previous jam 😃

and it’s disasters 😂
A great start! I'm super impressed that you pulled off the two jams in a row AS YOUR FIRST TWO GAME JAMS. I'd never have the stamina to do two in a row like that anyway, but thinking back to my first game jam ever, that was definitely the most exhausting one, just on account of it being nte first. :-)
Anyway, keep up the good work!
Will do 💪
It was definitely fun to ram the enemy. I found myself yelling stuff like "C'mere, cheesebot. Gonna make some fondue!" Also, doing a headlong crash face to face and twirling off into oblivion is very funny and satisfying.
Glad you like it 😊 Btw, the camera will change perspective if the enemy is chasing or about to ram you.
