Your link is giving me a 404 error. Also, I'm still mad that you missed last jam, I got 4th overall and 2nd in innovation.

Sorry, it wasn't set to public. Should work now, same link and all. That's amazing, but does it really count if I didn't see it? :thinking: But yeah, sorry again, I had a work event that weekend.

My slope was -2, that's a -0.5 on theme right there. But seriously, what is up with the 0.5 increments? There are too many options now, I feel overwhelmed.

+1 for a working Linux version!

The game is pretty enjoyable! Car mechanics feel smooth and slides nicely. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but there is only one car, but still pretty enjoyable! Nice one!

I don't know what my expectations were but they were blown out of the water. My only complaint is that the car doesnt explode. I'd have loved to here the effects for that.

Driving feels really smooth but overall the game is a little simple & gets repeptitive pretty fast.

Pretty fun though.

Oh god those sound effects xD

That was hilarious.

Interesting controls and funny sounds. It was fun enough sliding around a few laps before I got bored.

BAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!! Man that was funny... as a fellow member of the "make stupid noises for sounds" club, I heartily enjoyed that.

The control scheme was really intuitive and it really NAILED the theme. I found myself playing it "just one more" over and over again. So good. Well done!

@minimurgle my #1 regret right there, idk how but I somehow convinced myself that damage systems weren't 100% necessary in racing games and it will haunt my dreams for the rest of the year... well that and the fact I didn't do rotations properly for a rigid body. Won't make these mistakes again!

The world might be a lot better place if all cars can make sounds like that.

jean 2017-12-06 00:02

Well made game and hilarious sounds HAHAHA

Good job!

What a great take on the theme. I really appreciated the results screen that told me that my results made it not follow the theme. While my speed was apparently not worse with MOAR ENGINES, I found it really interesting that the length of the car was what started to get in the way. I expected the problem to be more speed making it impossible to navigate the track.

The track looks good and in interesting to drive around. I really like the effects from hitting sand or the walls. The sound effects are fun, and had me grinning the whole time I was playing. Great submission!

Best sounds, maybe ever. I grinned every time it got to the really high pitched "di di di". Game otherwise was fun, the track was maybe a little long considering how featureless it is, some landmarks would make doing the same lap over and over again a bit more tolerable. The way the car stuck to the wall as you added engines was a bit annoying. I understand that it's supposed to be the more you have, the worse it is but I felt like it slowed down the action too much. If you could add other cars that would be great, then it would really add to the chaos, which I think is where the fun lies in this game (aside from the sound).

Ok wow, the engine noise. Nice car physics, It was satisfying to get better at taking turns after a while.

GMC is dumb, they should learn from this person

As for the game, I like the simple yet efficient design. Something you should have done is play multiple "engine noises" over each other out of sync as you get more engines. That'd easily put it in the 5 star humor category.

beanslasher 2017-12-06 06:44

I really thought this was a funny game! hahahahahaha

bog13 2017-12-06 10:15

This is so hilarious ! :D Fun game !

Nice! One of my favorite entries so far!

I was really surprised at how well the controls work, (also how the additional engines didn't make things as much worse as I expected them to :p ). Also all the things (audio, graphics, etc. ...) fit together so well ... I mean on their own or rather in slightly different games I probably wouldn't like them as much but here it somehow just works.
