Cool game, both the music tracks sounded good.
Few suggestions from my side:
Try replacing the road picture with a straight path having no curves, as this would sell the illusion of you driving.
Try animating the player and looping the background.
Be careful when dealing with AI generated art as it would hinder the game from attaining perfection. You could have just used paint to trace a flat road surface, duplicate the image and flip it to create an illusion of driving. (You can't become good at something without trying) This would have even saved you those 10 hrs.
But overall its a fun game. Congrats.
PS: I couldn't find any link to the theme in my 10 mins gameplay.
Thanks! Yeah unfortunately I had burning - crackling bonfire noise named aDefeat in there I was going to use for when you lose the game, and set the snowmobile on fire but it totally slipped my mind. I did animate the track moving and spitting out track shaped blocks of snow, also note the brake light works when you aren't pressing any arrow keys. Thanks for the sugestions and commentary I appreciate it very much, I had also overlooked the stitching backgrounds staggered inverted y axis, and / or x axis depending on direction
Great game
I Was Having Problems At First, Couldn't Move, But I Redownloaded. And It Was Pretty Good Game. Make Sure To Rate Mine Too.
Thanks! I'll check out your game too.
As far as 'Can't move', You have to wait until the 5 second countdown ends before you can move (Arrow keys to move) Also, theres an invisible 'change scene' timer that tracks only upward movement, so getting through the different scenes is buggy, I should have either made the barrior at least half way down the game window, or not used scaleable speed (which I didn't do because I wanted to make it more realistic)
The best game strategy, for what it is, is to stay at the bottom left of the page, pressing the UP arrow key while you are stuck against a glacier wall in front of you so you can continue to scroll the snow beneath you , then dart out as soon as you see a treasure to intercept it, then move back to bottom left and press the UP button . You get bonus points for each scene completed relavant to how much time it took you vs the min possible scene time of 2 minutes each.
