Couldn't found the page.

It was setup as "Draft" on itch.io, sorry. It's public now, should work fine.

1:17:63. Nice little game, though the car could go a little faster, IMO >)

This is really, really good! I absolutely love the idea - needing to plan ahead is an excellent touch, and it's really well executed. I liked how loose the car handled - being able to drift on the first lap, then getting caught up in the later laps, was frustrating in a fun way. Awesome idea and well made game!

Resolution is too big for smaller screens (laptops for example), maybe use responsive size next time? Also the car handles like it's on ice, so winter track would have been more appropriate :) But entertaining game never the less.

Awesome! Your comment alone just made my weekend worth it! I'm really glad you liked it and many thanks for your comment.

mayuso 2017-12-04 19:09

By the way, my record is 0:44:08. Please someone comment if they can beat, and how? Because I seriously tried to make the best time for a long time and that's the best I could get.

mayuso 2017-12-04 19:12

@mcfish You are totally right, I tried to make the car "drift" a bit, I think it's more fun and a bigger challenge this way and yeah, I should've gone with snowy track for sure, I feel bad for not thinking about this before, specially considering the time of the year it is.

Unfortunately the frame rate was crawling when I played. Has anyone else experienced this? Not sure if it's a problem on my end.

A fun little game, the glue definitely is a good way to fit in the theme!

Interesting concept, it changes all the perspective of a race game. I give up at my fourth try, because I got stucked on the start line (a little mistake drives me out of the road on the damier, and it was too long to get out of that trap), but hey, I tried it four times, proof that the challenge was attractive enough ;)

slemmens 2017-12-05 06:58

@mayuso I beat your score. My record is 17 seconds, so as it turns out you can reverse back across the line. 100% legit score. ;)

mayuso 2017-12-05 13:00

@slemmens Oh....See, this is the downside of doing a project alone, I can't blame anyone else for this kind of bugs. I'll make sure to save more time for testing next Jam, I guess I only tested good paths this time, newbie mistake.

mayuso 2017-12-05 13:02

@lereveur Really glad you liked it enough to try 4 times! Did you manage to finish 3 laps in any of the tries? I'd love to hear what your best time was :)

cayleblucas 2017-12-12 12:11

Really nice game :)

Haven't seen one of these racing games in a while, thanks for the nostalgia. A nice take on the theme

I would have liked a count down at the beginning, or waiting for me to cross the line before dropping the glue. It plays quite well, and looks alright. A bit of music would be nice.

kerdelos 2017-12-12 20:25

The games seems to load forever =/

cg-fred 2017-12-12 20:34

Nice game, would have loved some musics a bit more variation on the SFX but it's a good entry!

kerdelos 2017-12-12 20:43

Finally managed to load it \o/ too bad there's no music but the concept is super cool ! The driving gameplay would benefit from being a bit more polished and fluid but good job anyway !

E um jogo simples, com graficos simples e uma mecanica simples.

Eu gostei da ideia, o único problema é que o carro é muito lento mesmo quando não esta passando em cima do negocio amarelo e isso deixou o jogo pouco dinamico e entendiante.

Outra coisa que me incomodou foi o fato do carro não fazer barulho (talvez só seja chatice minha mesmo)

Enfim, é um jogo simples com uma ideia interessante, mas infelizmente é muito lento...

andrej-hoos 2017-12-12 22:02

Very simple game, but I think it's a game that stays with the theme the most out of the games I played so far :) The only thing I would pick out is that I didn't like the sound when passing the finish line.

snipera 2017-12-12 22:37

Hey! Your game had a really cool idea! Wanted to give you some feedback on it though.

- The car slides too much, and when it slows down, it almost slows to a crawl, Im not sure if that is because you are on the glue itself?

- The wall colliders kind of seem off? I felt like sometimes I was not hitting it, yet it hit it, and sometimes the car got stuck. Also, if you spin off, it is very very hard to reverse, as I simply had to restart multiple times.

- The collision audio is very repetitive, it was actually one of the reasons that I did not have a walking sound in my game, as I could not manage to make it less "annoying". I think having a sound on every collision is a bit complicated, but given the timeframe I loved that you put this effort into it!

- You had a great idea, and it made me think of strategies to complete all 3 laps. In the end I had a time of 1m29s :D which I thought was pretty good.

Keep up the good work, and looking forward to seeing what you come up with in the next Jam!

Nice idea. However I have to agree with @snipera that the car is very slippery.
