I want to live here. Camera controls are a little wonky, but I really like the whole package. Great job.

Cool game.

On windows "The program can't start because MSVCP120.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

Game crashes when going ahead at begining of the game

mrpiglet 2014-04-28 12:29

Thanks for fixing!

I kind of adore the ultra harsh music, was giggling like crazy playing this. The off the track punishment was both too vague and too extreme, a substantial speed punishment for veering off would be far more enjoyable.

I liked the instant fail on going off track. It made me more tense and try harder to be honest. Really enjoyed the game, loving the art style, though as others mentioned, music can get to your brain. Nice work.

serk 2014-04-28 12:42

Simple and fun mechanics, that's great!

clinthoney 2014-04-28 12:46

Personally for me I like games with more art than just colors. But the style is great and I love how fun it gets and the frustration I get when I run off the track (which is good) because it keeps me playing

hexagore 2014-04-28 13:08

Really stylistic visuals, great concept. Loved all the models for the capacitors and ICs.

enzo42 2014-04-28 13:09

Thanks now I have that music stuck in my head for the whole day

Good game though, I like the fact its 3D

liens 2014-04-28 13:19

That was cool, when I went really fast reminded me of Tron.

goerp 2014-04-28 16:07

haha, your homemade synth almost destroyed my home! Those are some harsh sounds.

I found the graphics with the looming computer parts really enhanced the game.

It got pretty hard pretty fast for me.

Good game.

I like this. Addictive and fun. The music is annoying, though adds to the gameplay, in a strange way.

spotco 2014-04-29 12:20

Fun game, but really painful music!
(Would have been x10 better if there was a more visual indicator of where you could/couldn't go!)

biggianthead 2014-04-29 12:54

Interesting concept...

romko_pidstryhach 2014-04-29 12:58

Well, that was fast. Ending screen is so rapid. I have a strange feeling. Reminds me of Tron

aomeas 2014-04-29 13:09

The sounds are pretty annoying but the game itself is rather good.
What's the link with the theme ?

jellymann 2014-04-30 12:20

Challenging! I want more levels!

Would be awesome if there was a leaderboard of fastest times. I'd suggest a quick-restart button like in Trackmania, but then again running away from the track works the same :P

ezolotko 2014-04-30 12:35

@jellymann more levels - this is what I am going to do soon

lajos 2014-05-02 02:08

Awesome looking game! Super hard and fun. But the music.. hmmm

moonmagic 2014-05-02 05:44

Loved racing this brutal circuit while catchy song crumpled itself up in my ear.

drstahlbart 2014-05-02 14:04

PCB-action, woot! This is one of the "must played" games, because of the game style.

mark-feaver 2014-05-03 01:54

intense. i like it

cakencode 2014-05-03 16:38

The idea for the game is good and the visuals of being beneath the surface of some technological gadget was pretty cool. I did have some mechanical troubles though.

The timer should have started after the player pressed a key, not immediately after the level loads. Some of the collisions were also far too unpredictable, like on the second level right at the start there is a hard right turn around some component but the hit box spans halfway into the track.

Very fitting music though, and it didn't get annoying :)

ezolotko 2014-05-04 01:25

Hi @Cake&Code, thanks for the response. Actually now I am working on the next version of this game (and on the iOS port), where the issues you mentioned are already fixed. The main features of the new version will be rival AI cars and more levels. Also, we will try to do something with the music :)

cakencode 2014-05-04 10:16

That sounds awesome! Glad to hear you're still working on it and good luck with the porting :D

jonathang 2014-05-19 13:34

Lo-fi and crunchy racing game. Nice concept of a micro-scale racer. Audio and visuals are definitely in your face! Nice distraction for a few minutes, could do with more longevity.
