hey! Is the game live somewhere for us to play?
I'll hook you up with a steam key, check your discord :)
Wow! This is wonderful! Congratulations on 3rd place, and I really appreciate the web build.
not much feedback i can give, other than this bug hehe
Thank you! I really enjoyed your game as well!
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
Hey! I'm glad you liked it!
The leaderboard bug was 100% on me. I have a fix but can't push it until after the rating period is over. 😞
Ohwell, just glad nothing game breaking happened.
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
Thank you so much for the feedback! I'm excited to try out your game as well!
Very impressive and polished game for how fast you made it. The level design is pretty nice, particularly driving through the sandy mountains At the start of a run. The engine sound is pretty well done too. :) Check out my game if you're interested btw
I checked out your game and I really loved it. The sound and art were exceptional.
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.
Yea, it took me hours to get to sub 50.
I really want to redo the driving mechanics later. They feel great at some points but for some reason you can never drift unless you don't want to, and it's always in the wrong direction 🤣
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!
Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to trying your game as well!
I've got the 2nd place in scoreboard :3 I played over 1 hour in this game, it's awesome!
Oh my god, that's impressive. It took me over 3 hours to get under 50 seconds.
wroom wroom
VrooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOM-
BOOM!!!
great game buddy check on mine too
Nice game! I managed to get to the leaderboard, I suck as I am number 21 at the moment. I will upload video soon!
Thank you so much for recording btw! I'd love to see the video if you have one!
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!
Oh man, thank you so much! I'm guessing from your time that you didn't stick to the road?
Yeah, I tried to break the leaderboard, but I couldn’t. xD
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 :)
Oh my god, thank you so much! I'm glad you had as much fun playing it as we did making it!
