This is really cool! It's short and sweet but would love to have more levels to play! The cars seem to be rolling, I don't know if that gotta do with anything.

Use of the limitation
The cars can go heavy (landing faster and knocking other cars away) or light (dashing upwards) so a combination of both means winning.

I didn't have the time to make the enemies better, so for now the weight mechanic is more for fun (and for me personally satisfying) than to win, but when I do make the enemies not just flipping over all the time it should be more of a requirement to use the weight mechanics wisely. Thanks for the feedback!
Cool idea - took me a few times to work out how to get first place :)
Definitely be interesting to see this expanded upon with more tracks, the effect of weight on turns, etc.!

Weighty WisdomI think the core gameplay and design is there, there just needs to be more. Don't usually see these sorts of games in jams, so this was a nice change of pace.

Weight WalkerThe combination of gravity and racing is a very interesting concept.
The AI does not seem to be working well. It keeps rolling over all the time.
I would really like to play on other courses. A racing game that makes full use of gravity. Definitely fun!

Weight of the SoulThat's the reason I really like these jams, especially the mini ones, because the limitation really makes you think and add something fun/unique. I didn't have the time for more courses or for a real ai (the ai is just a box collider that is constantly getting pushed as long as it is on the ground, rotating when slightly off the ground) and the webgl version has some wierd physics changes so I had to add in some stuff that makes them even worse at driving. I'm glad you liked it and I do plan on making some more courses and better ai.
Neat idea! I like the music. It's pretty hard to lose though - this would be fun multiplayer!
