I wish there was a windows build so I could try it out.

Developer

I will make one eventually, but I want to make some much needed improvements before I get too many eyes on it.

I just exported a windows version to try it out!

Although it seemed promising when i saw the concept for the game, i feel the use of the kettle's clouds of steam won't block the sight as expected... unless you do it in 3D. But it's definitely something to work on.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. :) Yeah, I'm not sure if I can get it to work as planned, but I should get a better idea once I add a second player. 

I thought a bit more about it and came to the conclusion that, in fact, it sounded a bit like Tron with a less radical gameplay :p because you're basically punished for the same thing: sitting behind your opponent car. Would that be a good description, Tron with kettles ? ^^

Developer

I'm not familiar with that game, so that's purely coincidental. Sounds like it could be a good source of inspiration for me though, so thanks for mentioning it. :) 

I only saw one kettle kart and 2 bars that go to 100%, I'm missing something?

Developer

I think you probably missed the note I put on the game page, which might not be the visible if you download directly from the jam page:

NOTE! Because of real life obligations and the short time frame of the jam, few of my personal goals for the jam were met, and what's done is barely even a "tech demo". It is a concept I hope to flesh out little by little though, in the months following the jam.

Oh, I see, that is something to complain to itch.

Developer

Yeah, it's not exactly ideal.

Is this a multi-player racing game? I saw that the kettle releases steam as it moves in the small area but I don't see how that'd be bad for other kettles.

Developer(+1)

That's the plan, but it's very far from done. The final version is supposed to have a proper race track, so cars behind the one in the lead will be obscured by the steam, making it difficult to navigate the track.

You might wanna upload a windows version, as the vast majority of people here use it :p

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the suggestion. :) I don't have a way to verify if a Windows version works properly though, but I might look into that at some point. 

yes please, the idea behind the game looks interesting, i'd like to play what you've done so far :)

Yeah, I would go ahead and upload a windows version.  But till then we can download the source code and open the project.  You could also do an html export.  Just be aware that it might not work on anything other than Firefox.  Mine didn't.
