Very, VERY dynamic gameplay, sounds super game!

this was fun! I do wish there was a little more to do. I felt like I was just driving in a circle most of the time.

My only one issue with this game is the sounds are abit to much for me personally, overall I think this is a solid game, the actual gameplay works nice, maybe wish there was a drift mode? Theme was spot on, one room and dodging, aesthetics I thought were also cool, however I wasn't to sure if it was stuck to one colour palette, I think this is definitely one of the better games, nice job.

Simple, fun, fits the challange, good music...

Good game.

I loved it. Simple, a bit challenging but also fun all the same. Overall, it's a good game. :D

GAMEPLAY

Dodgem Royale is a simple 2D "autodrome" simulation where you try to last as long as you can without colliding with the other karts. You are assigned with kart hp above, so you have few chances to recover from few hits. At the beginning I wasn't sure what I was looking at until the background sound started, it was an "AUTODROME!!!", it took me back few year later when the autodrome owner yelled at me to not collide with other karts, heh. Nicely shown controls on the track. You have chance to move around on the track before starting the game (which is nice). Maybe could change the "esc" key so it would pause the game and open a small menu with option to resume the game or go back to menu instead of going straight back to menu.

THEME

Follows the theme, even it is written in it's name, could also cover the optional theme as well.

AESTHETICS

The Aesthetics of Dodgem Royale were amazing, track, karts, cool wheel trails and smoke effect left behind anyone who is low on hp. I'm not sure if it was intended or not but the logo in the menu was slightly off the grid, the guy in the kart wasn't on the empty position for "O" but went little lower between the "O" and "Y" letters instead.

SOUND

Good choice of audio, adjustable volume in options. No need to say more, perfection. 

CONCLUSION

Amazing work, no flaws just small things I have noticed, which aren't even important. I'm breatheless and my jawbone is on the floor.

Really fun! Good job!

Pretty fun game. I liked how you're allowed to move around and get used to the controls before the game starts. I found that since all the AI has the same chaser behavior, the dominant strategy is to just keep going in a circle. You only have to dodge 2 cars every wave and they'll all just clump behind you unable to do anything else. Still very enjoyable though. I like how the cars leave behind tracks as they move and the music is pretty bumpin.

This is a great concept and I like how it's both simple and fun - that's a rare combination in games. In terms of quarrels, I'm not sure if the intention was to encourage the player to let the AI kill each other, but that's certainly the case - I found that crashing into people rarely helped me and would result in a ganging-up, so my main strategy was to drive around and let them hit each other. I think it could do with a bit more 'juice', although it's definetely not lacking in terms of music or gameplay.

Its fun!, its hard! its a mix feeling. great game!

Nice, fun. This would do great with an online leaderboard, it screams fight-my-high-score kind of game.

nice game the art could be improved but gameplay was awesome !

This is really fun! I love the music too! What a fun idea to turn the theme into a game about Bumper Cars. Controls feel fairly crisp, but its hard to get unstuck from the wall. I like the colors and particles as well. Sometimes if you get stuck in a bad spot you instantly lose, which could be annoying if the game wasn't as fun as it is.
