Very fun game! I liked the concept and the way you used the theme! Definitely a rage game lol and I'm not sure what the middle click does but well done! Also I liked the art style
very annoyed drift and the way i have to manually reset the moving platform was tedious, but like the concept
I love the feel of slipping around and felling like your drifting though i did find the jump very awkward and the walls felt like I would hit them even though i felt like I shouldn't so maybe reduce the walls collision and increase the floors collision
OVERALL GREAT GAME THOUGH A LITTLE AWKWARD
Now THIS is beetle racing! Slipping and slidin' around as a bug was fun, and the jumping was servicable. At some point it felt more like a top-down platformer and personally i would've liked more levels to speed around in, but overall an enjoyable experience.
There is a bug (heh) where you can jump even when falling, and while it's not consistent it allowed me to cheat some levels. The menu was pretty damn cool and i'd love to see what this turns into down the line. Great work champ.
Really clever concept! The movement controls were really nice where it allowed you to slide around corners. Very well done!
I had a good time, but I got stuck on level 9 and didn't figure out what to do there. Otherwise I really like the way the game played a lot!
Cool & challenging game !
level 5 was a bit hard to figure out but overall pretty fun to play.
Good job :)
Very fun, and I can't think of any criticism
Nice game! At first it was a bit hard to figure out what each button did, and I still don't know if holding RMB actually did anything :P
Another improvement you could make is auto-resetting the level after death, especially with those moving platforms, as you need to reset the level anyway to catch the cycle, so why not do it automatically?
Other than that, I really liked it, good job!
AA I really wanted to play this one but my browser wont load it :(
