I like the car physics! But you should have made check points because players can cheat. I like the idea though that you have an AI to guide you through the race. It would've been really fun you could finish on time.

Developer

Thanks for trying the game, as soon as voting concludes I have an update the includes: checkpoints, improved sounds, AI turn prompts and more! Feel free to come check it out like tomorrow-- it'll be the new version!

Who do I race with or do I just complete 3 laps as soon as possible?

Developer(+1)

The idea was to race 3 laps as fast as possible with the navigator telling you the next turn (Left, Right) and recommending the speed (Fast,Med,Slow) but we ran out of time.. so its basically drive around 3x. Thanks for trying it--I'll make sure to get the theme parts in first next jam!

Thanks for trying our game LemonDev!

Submitted

Developer

I  will right now!

Very nicely art and cool little racing game! 

Developer

Hey thanks for coming and trying the game! 

Submitted

Cool little racing game! If I drove like this in real life I would get my license revoked lol. The face in the corner was staring into my soul the whole time too lol

Developer

Haha, thats the navigator AI's face. We didn't get to explain that as well as we wanted. Thanks for playing our game--I'll go give yours a try! 

Submitted

I would recomend you design the race track (at least the first one) so that car starts facing upwards. That way left and right is the same from both my and car's perspective. This can be confusing  if player is not too familiar with this type of racing games.

You could also experiment with camera rotating with the car. Just attach it to car object since its made in Unity :)

Developer

This is great feedback, I didn't even consider it until after I submitted and the jam ended and I watched my wife struggle through 3 laps. This was her exact complaint. Thanks for trying our game!

Submitted

I really don't get how you interpreted your topic in the game. It's just a racing game with a car with ice physics.

Developer

Hi Stingby12, thanks for trying our game. We ran out of time implementing the features that would emphasize the AI parts, unfortunately. The concept was that the Navigator would be an AI that would call out the upcoming portions of the track and give you recommendations on speed. (like "Next Turn: Left - Slow!") but I got tripped up in the coding of this and ran out of time. Again -- thanks for giving it a go

Submitted

Man, playing your game made me regret of not using some extra time to improve my track design. I just extrude a cube on blender and moved on… Yours is way prettier than mine!

The controls are really solid and the sound design is great.

Only thing to notice is that you just hold W+D, you will win in 15 seconds because the finish line will register the laps. I solved it by putting some checkpoint along the track.

Good Job!

Developer

You found the cheat code win! There were definitely some improvements we didn't get to make. Thanks for giving ours a try--I'll go try yours too!

Submitted

I looped around the side of the finish line and the AI said I could still do better :(

I liked the visuals and the car sound effects, but I didn't really pay attention to the UI since it didn't seem useful enough.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, a bunch of the UI didn't make it before submission deadline. The AI didn't mean to hurt  your feelings -- I think you did great!

Submitted

struggled to understand the game , i accidentally went in reverse .and recovery after going in the grass was way too slow.

Developer(+1)

Reverse is dangerous. I had the controls outlined  in a build version that just missed the deadline. Thank for giving it a try anyway :)

Submitted

Seems nice but I could never managed to have a new " prompt" it kept saying " right fast " during the 3 laps ^^" otherwise great visuals ! and love the concept actually ! just sad I could not really test it :/

Developer(+1)

I was about 30 min too slow to meet the deadline with the pompts for each turn. You're 100% correct that would have been much better.

Submitted

no worries ^^ sometimes the time goes fast !

Submitted(+1)

haha i found that you could literally circle round the finish line and complete it in 11 seconds...

very cool though- it looks and sounds great!

Developer(+1)

You have the fastest time on record so far! Well done
