DRIFUTO! This is a cool game! I wanted to let you know though that best lap times don't seem to save.

Hmm, I could tell there was some kind of bounce when 'drifting', but drifting itself has some kind of weird delay? Either way, it's a neat idea, just wish there was some kind of music! (Fastest lap for me was 21:35 btw)

Developer

Ah yeah, theres a "slip" at the start of the drift kinda like Mario Kart where your turning is pretty much disabled, if that's what you mean. It gives drifts a detailed texture that I love in mk8, though it ends up providing an arc similar to a good bounce-drift, so maybe i should make it shorter or remove it altogether to bring the functional variety up, hmm...

Well anyway, thanks for playing!

Best set so far:

22:46

20:35

20:00

Before discovering bounce tech it seemed like a straightforward racing game with a drift mechanic to take sharp turns. Decent but unremarkable. 

Then I discovered bounce tech, and spent a bad amount of time optimizing my runs trying to unlock the secrets of this mechanic. 

Anywho, 0/5 for making me repeatedly ram a tortoise into the wall. This review was written completely under my free will, otterly free of any external compulsion.

HOTFIX (2 HOURS LATER): Forgot to add the pck to the Windows version, lmao. Also you can navigate menus up/down with a controller now! No idea why that isn't on by default.

The provided Best Times are 25-23-21, but see if you can beat 22-19-19.  :)
