This is super fun to control and I'm looking forward to the full version!
The graphics and vibe are pretty nice and drifting racing games are super fun. I like the voxel ship. I felt the vessel was a little hard to control though, particularly when boosting
Thanks for playing and the feedback. I've been trying to figure out if I need to tweak the boosting and speed in general, so that's very helpful to know.
I think for me the driftyness / turn speed made things a little difficult. The speed could be okay if there was more control over the ships direction
Speeding on water feels nice. I like the water particle when drifting. Haven't figured out the abilities/items but the driving part is fun by itself. I got a bit motion sickness out of it though cause the camera seems to follow where the vehicle is facing very diligently.
Thanks! You pick up the items from the rainbow boxes, I forget to include that in my game manual. Some of them have to be locked on to a NPC racer in front of you and it's not super clear in the game right now about that, so that's very possibly what's going on lol. I think with some good UI and a tutorial I can clear that up.
I'll look at that, I thought it was dragging behind a bit but I can definitely put that as a setting in the final game to make it editable how much it's following.
