This was a lot of fun! Customization unlockables are a great incentive to keep people playing. Unlocked all of the parts, hoping I was going to unlock other levels, but I couldn't seem to select anything but the first one on the map.I'm assuming they were planned but cut due to time? Anyways, the UI is great, and the customization is really well done!
Looks awesome :)
Really well made game with an awesome art style!
Well made Graphics and level design, also the menu looks great!
The controls are a wit wanky but allround a nice game
Love the art style and it's a really polished and complete experience. Great job!
Wow! Really cool game! Nice graphics and I like the menu.
I had problems to understand how to go to the next level tho
Nice job on the game. Mammoth race it's a really interesting idea. I liked this 3d low poly style. I would like to note good gontrol but sometitems I don't understand where to go. Way points on the road would be a good solution for solve this. I would also like to add some opponents in the game. I hope you will upgrade your game in the future. It deserves it.
Really great game which is complete and polished - ready to go! Riding Mammoths was real fun! Amaizing what you did in 72 hours!
Good graphics and level design. The mammoth parts unlocking keeps you playing and trying to improve the score. I missed a mammoth sound :D
That was such a good game. Kept playing and was compelled to get the best time and unlock parts. But, oh, I wish there was more levels. I kept playing trying to get the best time to maybe unlock a level. But, was sadly mistaken. Than i read the above comment.
The game is good and fun, the controls are simple, this is a good idea. It's true that mammouth were a sort of technology :')
Maybe you should add a music with some percussions, to give a better rythm to the race.
I liked a lot the customization part, but I couldnt unlock all of these.
Keep creating games !
awesome game!, i love the artistic style, the animation a bit stiff and control a bit finicky but its ok
very well design level, with upgradable ride is nice additional content
overall very well done!
This game was a lot of fun. It is really very complete and actually amazing what you have done in this short time.
nice game, and I love the idea of caveman riding mammoth x). on the other side, damn we need some heavy metal during the race! :p
graphics are fine and undertandable but the path to follow is not always clear and maybe the grass could be more dense.
control are clear, but maybe it miss some thing like drift.
otherwise, it's a great job you did here :)
This is great, but I'm confused. How do you beat a level again? Can't seem to find any time to beat (just the world record)? I just kept playing the same level over and over, unlocking new parts and upgrading the mammoth, but I couldn't get to teh next level. Still, very impressive for the time frame!
Nice game! I had fun playing it, even though my time is just 49.91 :P
This is a pretty neat idea, I would go for something like a saber tooth cat but the mammoth does add a touch of comedy, and you already had a site up and running too!
I really love the concept, it's so damn funny.
The controls feel a bit strange at first, but I totally understand that this is not a car but a mammoth.
Collision detection is a bit buggy sometimes. Like it's possible to be stuck at a little corner with the game considering that we are still at full speed. So after turning around to go back on track the mammoth goes from static to full speed. Quite surprising at first.
Art and track design is pretty simple but very polished.
Even if I still don't really understand why sometimes I unlock parts or how to unlock next track, it makes me very happy to fine tune my mammoth to perfection and try to beat my own record.
Excellent game. Congratulations !
Hello, we would like to thank you all. Your comments gave us a lot of energy to continue in the game development. We are aware that the animation could be better and we had a few issues with sounds. But we are prepared to fix it.
We are going to let you know what will happen to the game in future on our Twitter channel . If you want to be updated don't hesitate and follow us on twitter http://www.twitter.com/lonelyvertex
Really nice entry! Controls could be a bit smoother in general I think - as in more of a ramp when slowing down, cornering etc. Very funny, clever idea. Well done!
Very Nice i love your Game Good Works )=
I always wanted to ride a mammoth :D Cool and polished game
Cool game)
A mammoth race, nice !! :D
But I don't really see the "Technology" part here ?
Aside from that, it's really fun :)
God this is amazing for 72 hours :D all the customization and unlocks and statistics of best time on the web site! You did really good job the whole team! Congratulations :D
P.S. Mammoth riding is just hilarious :D
The game is really nice and fun. I really like it. The mammoth "parts" look different and have meaningful gameplay impact. Really sweet.
I would have liked a little more vivid colors, but that's subjective. Never the less, the whole lot decoration and polish is amazing, particularly for 72h.
I just have the feeling that the hitbox for the "braking grass" is too large. Much too large in some turns.
Anyways, great work!
This game is really good~ Well done the customization is a good motivation for playing although its hard to unlock the next levels but other than that very good :)
The graphics and level design are great! I also love the customizability. The only negative is that the controls are a bit wonky. Great work! :D.
Hey, lovely low poly models! I liked how all the elements fit together, even the UI and fonts. The mammoth upgrade is well made too.
The camera on turns could be improved and turning the mammoth made more smooth, but that's just minor for such complete game. :)
Your low-poly Mammoth is gorgeous.
And the game looks so solid and polished.
It's almost unreal for such a short period of time.
My congratulations to whole your team.
Perfect entry!
Had a blast playing this, especially with initial D music overlayed on top hahaha great job!
Probably my favorite game of this Ludum Dare, I need more immediately. I used to have hopes and dreams, a vision of a bright future; now I hold the world record of 44.07 and I realize that Mammoth for Speed IS that bright future I had envisined. I now know my calling in life: racing mammoths.
Very polished game. Love the upgrade feature. I've even managed to break the worlkd record - mine is 43.08. Although I don't think that it will last long :)
And the track design is a bit confusing - I was stuck several times on my first playthrough. You should make the path more obvious to follow.
@fragileannihilator Oh no, my world record, why, cruel world? I will miss you record, you were the only thing I had left in this world, the only thing to fill the void where others have a soul.
Well, I got 43.08 now, so we are tied for now.
42.58! I am the Mammoth for Speed champion!
Love the art style and gameplay is good, nice take on the theme!
Absolutely adore the art style, quite an amusing concept and interpretation of the theme, very cute. Now I just need more levels and to get that world record!
Loved the choppy graphics. The game is hilarious and well polished enough for a Ludum Dare game.
I also live the menu transitions at the start of the game.
Could do with a background music (most racing games keep you speeding by adding some upbeat music in the background)
Very fun, well made game! I included it in my compilation video series of Ludum Dare 36, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/lcfUdhXZ_XQ
This game is really awesome. You can make graphic better easily by tweaking lights & shaders
I'm not ashamed to say that I got addicted and subjected our twitch stream to around 20+ minutes of trying to beat the high score. Upsettingly I only got close, but considering how much I played it I'd definitely say it was a success.
If it had background music, I'd say it would be perfect. The customization options were my favourite too.
You can watch the stream over here: https://www.twitch.tv/cantgetourname/v/88796963
Hey guys, I gave this a play. Didn't break the world record unfortunately but you can see how I did here:

A great little game, I'd love to see a post-jam version with some more levels and a few extra features (like music and a minimap).
