thanks a lot for the feedback :)

Super fun game!  I died a lot, but very addictive.

Submitted

Very nice game, Short Sweet simple, the only thing i would say is it fells too fluid and up to date to be a retro game, the physics are VERY smooth (which would be good in MOST situations)

Developer

Yes , I'am affraid you're right , my base idea was a F-zero on 8 bits device .... we  are far of a 8 bits rendering... it looks like a 8 bits concept running on a 16/32bits device . my apologize for this , I think I am too young in game devellopement for this kind of theme  : ) Thanks for the feedback .

Submitted

Dont say your not good enough, the point of game jams is to take criticism and get better. KEEP GOING

Submitted

A bit tricky to control at first but I'm sure it's something that can be overcome with practice. The game looks and sounds nice but I can't quite tell what system it would run

Developer

You're  right , it is my second game, and I didn't manage to respect retro  device specs, I wanted to try , but when choices occurs I chose the beautiful way (particle for jet trail for example) . I think I'll can manage this kind of theme in a few games ;)anyway I have a lot fun making this one :) 

Submitted

I don’t know either i noob or the controller lil bit hard. but this game is awesome! really fun!

Developer(+1)

this kind of control are bit weird , if you didn't play game like super off road, micromachine, or rock'n roll racing ...  Thanks for the feedback

Submitted

Wow, it is very funny! Good job

Developer

nice to hear, even with the eyes;)

Hey that was a fun game. Nice controls and safeguards--had to be skilled but wasn't totally game over if you hit a wall once or twice. Great graphics, too.

Developer

thanks a lot :) 

Submitted

Developer(+1)

thanks ;)

Fantastic, well done - Liked the music and art - controls were a bit difficult for me.Very cool - Liked the music and art - Controls where a bit difficalt for me.

Developer

thanks a lot :)

Finished first place and had a lot of fun. In the beginning I had a bit of trouble keeping track of what car I am actually controlling. That would be my only complained though. It felt retro, it controlled well and it also felt quite polished. Good job!

Developer

tank you for the feedback , it seems I really have a readibility  (not sure it exists... ) issue. I'll try to work on this .

I had a lot of fun playing this game, well done! This game pulls off the radial-turn navigation very well, I actually found it really easy to aim the car. My only difficulty in playing it was sometimes I'd mix up the blue car with the other 2 shades of purple cars and not know which car I'm moving for a few seconds. 

Developer(+1)

thanks for the feedback , maybe I should make a kind of color swap to have a yellow or orange  AIcars, As I think i'll do something with this game, I keep your advice in mind for further updates

Submitted

nice game. enjoyable and fun. :)

Developer

nice to read this :)

Submitted (1 edit)

Pretty good but controls are kinda hard for me.The most funniest thing about game is that car looks like my icon.I will be happy if you check our game when you are not busy.

Developer

thanks for the feedback, I have  check yours and leave comment on your page ;) 

Submitted

Cool and nice looking.

Developer

thanks :)

Submitted

Wow! Looks like a mix of micromachines and rocknroll racing. I hope you will make a commercial version with a lot of content.

Developer

Thank you very much it's good to read your comment, indeed I had Micromachine and rock'n roll racing in mind during developement. specially when I worked on music , I wish I had more time to work on it .Maybe I will continue it.

Submitted

Nice to hear it.

Submitted

I really liked the game! Awesome art and music, but I would replace the up arrow with a space bar. If you want, then rate my game.

Developer(+1)

Ho yes you're right .I should thought to it  alone, and it would allow the player to use the down arrow to breake ...thanks

Submitted

Love it! Super satisfying to win each race. Took me a little while to get used to the long deceleration, but once I got the hang of it it was great. Lots of great design decisions (e.g. the wall bounce mechanic, jet stream size associated with speed, jump correction if you hit the jump at an off angle). Nice work!

Developer(+1)

thanks a lot, I ever try to focus on gameplay sensation and visual/sound feeedback, i'm more an "artist" than a coder guy , i'm playing with construct, but I begin to find it a little bit limited, I search courage to jump in Unity like serious Indies :)

Submitted

The animation and movement is smooth and the effects are very punchy! Great job :)

Submitted

Nice job, It's a very fast paced game.
