It was fun, although I kept getting stuck in corners or upside down. Maybe implementing a mechanic where if you don't change position after a couple seconds, it picks up and moves your car so you can continue to play without restarting. It was fun to just drive around though!
If not for driving upsidedown all the time and hopelisly stucking to every wall, it's a cool game idea.
Good work on this, this LD was also for me to learn UE4. Would have liked to see some more lighting / texturing, they make the game look a lot more polished with not much work.
Pretty good for your first game with unreal for ld!
Would've liked to try but a UE4 game with on normal quality setting is unplayable in VMWare ;) Will look back later for a web version or if you can add like a Low quality graphics option. Good that you're learning new stuff!
Fun game. It's a bit tricky to control at times, seems a bit too easy to flip over. Maybe add more weight to the car? Also the camera is a bit too zoomed in on the car. Otherwise its pretty good for a first time using UE4.
Like others have said, the steering might need some tweaking to stop it flipping over at times otherwise this was a rather fun entry to play.
Very fun game but a little too easy to flip.
I was able to drive while upside down :D
An interesting game, despite its technical shortcomings. Though the 'no brakes' idea has been done before, combining it with a Trackmania-like stunt track feels surprisingly fresh.
That said, having to manually restart whenever you flip over in a lightweight car on a track apparently designed to flip you over is more frustrating than fun. The game would've been much more fun if you could just respawn with a time penalty or something like that. The tendency for the car to flip over in midair after a ramp as well as the bumps in the road nearly guaranteed to flip you over felt rather unfair. The challenge to get the boxes despite your lack of control was fun though, when it worked properly.
Nice, and with some similarities to my game, just as you said! I found the brake button, so I could cheat, so it's not really two buttons. :-)
It was fun. I got stuck on my back like a turtle a lot, though.
The graphics of the car and track are really good. I imagine with more time this would be a really good looking game. The dynamics of the car made it hard to control but it was fun going round the loops and finding the boxes. Kinda reminded me of quarantine a bit. Well done!
Thanks for playing my game and for all the invaluable feedback!
I see that at least one of you found the handbrake button! (I forgot to remove it.) :-).
The most requested feature is the "reset vehicle" feature that I left out due to lack of time.
I should probably fix the physics a bit, to make it harder to flip upside down. (The Windows version seems a bit less sensitive with regard to physics.)
