Beautiful graphics and concept. cant wait for the BTS vid

hagge 2017-04-29 18:32

There is a bug when you die: The distance counter is still going down.

2017-04-30 20:23

@hagge he did that on purpose. i think

spinaljack 2017-04-30 20:40

Very fun, love the concept and theme. Nice video too. :thumbsup:

ljfmx 2017-05-01 03:52

Awesome job! Love the idea and gameplay.

sagarpatel25700 2017-05-01 06:08

NIce game , but when you die it hangs a bit ..

2017-05-01 06:10

Great Game bro.Liked it very much

The aesthetics of this game are fantastic -- in particular I love the grass shader and the particle effects! I was a bit confused at first about the presence of the road, thinking I was supposed to try stick to it. The game is fun and challenging (I think the world shrinking is a brilliant way to increase the difficult), my only complaint there is that if I just head off in a random direction at the start of the game, I can usually coast along for about 20 seconds without having to dodge anything. It might be a good idea to target a meteor at the player's predicted position (if they were to continue in a straight line) every few seconds, just to keep them on their toes at the beginning!

Good music, great atmosphere, I enjoyed it a lot.

kristian-david 2017-05-01 08:57

Great Game!

nick-bota 2017-05-01 10:11

The graphics and the audio are really positive and colorful it creates a really positive vibe! The gameplay is quite challenging but in a good way I found myself trying to break my records again and again, would've loved to see a number showing me my record on the intro screen. Overall I loved it 5/5!

superchihuahua 2017-05-01 10:35

Hello! I played the offline PC version and it was working but was lagging, so maybe you should have left the quality option on?

2017-05-01 10:58

It's amazing, loved it, visuals and sound effects are awesome, though there was a bit lag when it started but after some frames it worked fine!

fouralex 2017-05-01 11:06

Hi, nice game! I love all the graphics of this game: asteroid particles, little car, grass,... I really like the concept but the car goes too fast for me (I'm not a confirmed driver :smile:) and it's cool because the game becomes a reflexes game. Perhaps I should have prefer the game if there was less asteroids but bigger impacts. I really enjoyed the starting camera animation witch is very good. Cool sounds effects, and pleasant music too. ~~Where is Goku?~~

doppelgunner 2017-05-01 15:20

Make a tutorial about character to character response animation like street fighter, assassin's creed.

cambryx 2017-05-01 17:50

Nice game! The music creates a really happy and positive atmosphere. The graphics fit perfectly. The gameplay could need some improvements: In my opinion it feels to random. Sometimes it's possible to get a really good score without pressing a key, while at other times you try your best and still keep failing after a short time because a meteor comes out of nowhere. The Userinterface was pretty cool in my opinion. All in all a cool little game about a little planet :)

Well done pal! Loved the concept of the game, the audio, design and everything. A little bit buggy here and there, but looks like it turned out well! I will give this a 10/10.

andrewjadams 2017-05-01 19:54

Beautiful. Well done. That "Pshewp" sound when you die is classic.

fedor 2017-05-01 20:08

Great game!! I really like the idea about shrinking world. Nice artworks and animations. You created also very positive music that fits perfectly to the game. Well done!!

gimbalock 2017-05-01 20:08

Beautiful game! Nice graphics and fun audio. Love the interactive menu. Everything fits together so well in this game. And the motionblur adds a nice touch. I have to say, that I feel, it's too hard to avoid the craters. Maybe I'm just bad at the game, but I feel I have no chance of avoiding meteors, and mostly it's luck. Maybe if the car would drive just a little bit slower? Nice to see the Making Of video, and I also follow your channel. Quality videos! Keep up the good work Brackeys!

spav 2017-05-01 20:56

Pro as always :) Graphics are so cool! Create a tutorial about post processing please :) Fun is good, the idea about shrinking planet - so obvious, and so beautiful. I love the music. Make it mobile, add more obstacles and I want this game :D

gris 2017-05-01 21:22

Stunning graphics. They look even better than the video you uploaded. Thanks for the tutorials(I used a bit of what I learned in the linerider tutorial for mine)

clemzd 2017-05-01 21:51

The game is cool! I like the atmosphere! I think it needs more obstacles.

thedoodleguy 2017-05-01 22:02

Beautifully polished game, very simply and fun to play. I especially love the score UI. Well done :-)

simplepotential 2017-05-01 22:20

Very cool concept. Graphics are great. At first I thought, "this is too easy" but soon I found out that wasn't going to be the case and loved the shrinking planet as a difficulty factor. Loving how the UI follows the shrinking planet as well, cool effect.

It's pretty fantastic watching the planet shrink to the point where the craters can't wrap it.

Very fun stuff! Checks all the boxes and is all around a very satisfying game!

My only gripe, if any, was that sometimes the craters would shrink into the road mesh and kill me.

Also curious as to what tutorial you followed for the grass/fur shader. It looks gorgeous! I'd implemented something really similar with Unity in the past but I had to follow a reaaaaaally old Open GL tutorial.

Damn that's so cool. I've seen your video on your channel and decided to give it a try. Totally worth my time

empowered-pixel 2017-05-02 16:44

Fun Game! Love the animations, the art style, snappy restarts, and the concept as a whole. Great Job!

max-amaden 2017-05-02 21:33

Really awesome game! I absolutely love the jaunty music and the peaceful little planet. The grass looks super cool and I think you actually did a really good job with that car model ;)

Keep up the good work, I think you're on track to be a #1 winner this Ludum Dare! :D

wevel 2017-05-02 21:33

Love this game, the graphics are amazing while the music fits really well. I really like how it seems like you are driving faster as the planet shrinks (or maybe you do actually) to get more and more difficult as you play. This could be a very addicting mobile game.

2017-05-03 01:22

Yes... Its amazing simple and polish work. I´m suspicious because i´m a fan, i follow on YT but i will take my review! The game is awesome, polish and quite simple, on the other hand has some performance problems on webGL version. I think this cannot disqualify because Firefox its a memory eater so i agreed with @max-amaden, you´re on track to be a #1! The planet shrinking its amazing!printBrackeysLD1.png

lipsch 2017-05-03 06:08

Very nice polished Game. The Graphics are awesome. Gonna take a look at your Video for tgat Grass Shader (:

unit684 2017-05-03 13:16

Really nice looking game with some fun mechanics. The particles and grass look amazing and overall the game has a very crisp and clean feel to it. It runs a bit slow in the browser but the Windows download works fine.

tyranosaw 2017-05-03 15:03

Love the game! It is really well polished :thumbsup: Though when i started out it was quite difficult. But after about 5 minutes, i started to get the hang of it. My record is 29.6m. As for improvements on the game, maybe you could add some sort of highscore system or powerups/collectables in the game. That's it from me :smile: Congratulations!

soulpixel 2017-05-03 19:19

A really good and polished game. Fun for 20minutes. But well, more levels or obstacles would be nice!

spaceman 2017-05-03 21:01

Very entertaining! I really like the shader work. The way that the motion blur interacts with your grass shader just looks very nice.

rwoeltjes 2017-05-04 06:54

Very polished game!!! First time ever, that I drove a car around a shrinking tennisball. Took me a few tries to see that the craters disappear over time (because I didn't survive that long). Good luck with winning this year!

2017-05-04 07:09

Amazing game

adamalexander 2017-05-04 11:59

Really cool game, simple but addictive. Took me awhile to realise I had to click the 'play' button, at first I was just driving around the planet on the main menu screen ;D

dusho 2017-05-04 12:18

looks and feels amazing great idea as well, nice work !

nickzangus 2017-05-04 14:53

Wow! This game is awesome! Great graphics, simple gameplay but really fun! Good job!

those-30-ninjas 2017-05-04 18:42

Nicely polished little game. Great concept and execution. I couldn't play too long because it was making me a little motion sick. I think that has much more to do with me than anything in the game though.

banana-man 2017-05-05 02:52

So much juice! Great game.

richard-michael-smith 2017-05-05 09:57

This is fantastic...and fantastically difficult! I actually have to avoid blinking as the distance gets to about 30....I still haven't managed to last much longer after that! As many have already said - the graphics are excellent and the uplifting music goes very well even if it does mask just how infuriatingly difficult it is!!! Excellent work.

lereveur 2017-05-08 19:33

Simple to play, yet very challenging. I'm not good to play this kind of games, but I managed to go to 27.4m, and it was very fun to try it. I also liked the colorful graphics and melodic music, contrasted with the destroy mood with the meteors. Well done, and thank you !

jishenaz 2017-05-09 01:39

Simple and fun arcade-like game. The graphics and effects are very impressive. It's a little hard, but games of this nature are always hard. Nice work!

voxel 2017-05-09 03:18

cute and tough, my favourite combination

terryg 2017-05-13 00:24

Really nice entry. I had a lot of fun playing. Hard time doing better than 42m. Your video series really inspired me to learn to use Unity btw.

2017-05-13 06:45

Really cool game

madjackmcmad 2017-05-15 04:39

This is a good game. However you pronounced Ludum Dare wrong in your video so I had to give you -6 stars in every category.

Actually I am really impressed with the clean presentation, it is pretty and runs smoothly and the sound effects are just right. Excellent work! Put this on a phone and make stupid huge amounts of money.

anubhav-kashyap 2017-05-22 14:12

Really awesome game. Regretting that I didn't get a chance to rate it. But you should really rate other's games also.

2017-06-05 14:14

Its an awesome game, the only thing i would change would be a saved highscore.

2018-02-15 12:36

Reaction time on the controls, A and D are a bit slow
