Great work. I really had a great time. Well done choosing something achievable so that you can really polish it up. I thought it was interesting that driving through the sand dunes and landing jumps was actually the faster way to go than the road that the game directs you towards.
On that same note, because the best route is through the sand dunes, it kind of made the water pick ups irrelevant. I kind of wish it was even more cartoony where I had more air control and could do more spins and flips in the air. Then you could even reward the player more significantly for landing those.
Was really a nice touch with the customization on the main menu and the general UI polish as well.
Really liked the music and it served the game well and felt right at home.
Definitely got a bit frustrated with the spinouts when I landed sometimes, but otherwise was really an enjoyable game.
Thanks for your submission, and congrats again.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your in-depth feedback, especially on vehicle handling. Honestly, I have never made a car game before so the vehicle handling was just trial and error. Once the jam is over I hope to do a complete overhaul of the driving mechanics to make them a bit more responsive and physically based- same for the air control, in my original vision for the game, you could somersaults and 360s and the game would reward you for it. But for game jam time restraints, I'm very happy with how it turned out.
Really cool game. The leaderboard in the main menu is a bit bugged but other than that it was really nice to play. The graphics were unique and the customizability of the car felt really cool as well. Would love to see you play my game as well :D
NORTH IS FOWARD!!!
This was a lot of fun, pretty simple controls but fun! I like that I can customize my vehicle. The game looks really polished and the sounds are great :D
really amazing game. not sure how sub 50 is even possible lol... Only critique was that the drifting felt a little bit too punishing or random, sometimes I would spinout and the run would be ruined, other times I wouldn't. Definitely a top 3 contender, great job.
Amazing game! The controls are tight, the dust effects are nice and the music is very fitting. Loved watching my car flip around in the air. Great implementation of the theme!
I've got the 2nd place in scoreboard :3 I played over 1 hour in this game, it's awesome!
Nice game! I managed to get to the leaderboard, I suck as I am number 21 at the moment. I will upload video soon!
HEY GUYS! I apologise in advance, but there is known bug where the scoreboard in the main menu overlaps with the volume controls. It's purely a visual bug, that doesn't affect functionality. Let's just say the UI wasn't meant to handle more than 10 scores, and I don't want to delete anyone's scores, so we're just gonna have to deal with it until I'm allowed to update the game build.
I’m impressed with the concept and shader. The game is well-polished and optimized. I had a great time figuring out the quickest shortcuts to finish. Great work!
Truely 5 star all round, i think this is the first one that has truely allowed me to get better over time on each run learning the course. lots of replayability fun and smooth action can't go wrong would be shocked not to see this in the top 3 :)
nice game check on mine too Rate PRo_SpeedRunneR inWork by Keshuspr for PolyMars x ScoreSpace - itch.io
