Fun game. I played a few races to try out different tactics. Apparently staying as the pentagon and brute forcing through the dirt with speed is the way to go. I came in 1st a full minute ahead of 2nd. Also, some of the AI started going backwards for some reason.

Some weird behavior from the AI but mainly a good game and i like the "Virtua Racing" mood it gaves me. Thanks :)

Cool game!

AI acted quite odd, but otherwise it was a fun little racing game :)

Having to maintain gear shifting as well as shape shifting (haha) was a good challenge, easy to learn, hard to master (and very fun once I mastered it). Music was also very pleasant.

Getting an error of "There should be 'Shape Racer_Data'
folder next to the executable" But they are in the exact same directory. I've tried them next to each other, and inside.

Neat concept! If I could make a suggestion: color the shapes for the type of ground that they drive best on.

Handles badly but the concept is awesome

Cool concept! I like how the player's advantage is the ability to plow through terrain when different shapes.

Great game! At first I was frustrated by how hard it is to turn, but then I realized that's exactly the point and beat the first 3 races.

I absolutely can't beat the last one, though, I managed to get 0.1s behind the first place, but the race is just too short for me to be able to catch up.

Oh, and I really liked the music!

I agree with suggestion to add colour to the shapes - I immediately forgot which shapes corresponded to which terrain.

aree-vanier 2016-04-19 20:32

Really fun! It took me a while to get used to the shifting.

The mechanics to this game were really well done! I felt like I was playing a proper racing game. I liked the Canyon level xD

Really liked the use of the different shapes. Great concept!

The idea is funny and great, but to play this very difficult.

adsilcott 2016-04-23 02:04

Wow, this was really fun! I was a little frustrated with the controls at first, but once I got the hang of it I wanted to keep playing. I like that there were four tracks.

ashkoredracson 2016-04-23 23:40

Neat game! Controls are a bit wonky at first but you get used to them.

3D graphics and a racing game - cool!
