Nice ambiance in this game, cool idea to mix zombi and racing ! 1:11 for me !

Fun simple game. But I think that racing games and zombies are very compatibile ;)

Had a lot of fun! Getting the engine rev sounds to change with the speed of the vehicle was great. How did you generate the car engine noise? I died the first time as I was figuring things out and then on my second game made it almost to the third lap, I could see the finish line but then I think I hit one too many zombies and my game ended. :(

@ab200 Most of the time you have to flee or just survive - not race to win. Would be more clear if I had the ability/time to include other cars as well.

@candlesan Unity helps you with that, there is a working controller you can adapt for this. Basically it changes the pitch of the same sound.

Controls feel strange, not enough responsive. It's hard to really feel we control the car. But anyway I actually got scared and didn't wanted to die... so good job on the game!

After a few times I managed to beat it. 2:17. Took some time to get use to the controls, they felt a bit clunky at first. Has some good atmosphere.

The unity car controls are a bit clunky but after some time one can get used to them, my best loop was 1:20, good atmosphere. Sadly on webGL there is no sound, but I get it on macOS build.

Interesting game:-) it took quite some time to get use to the controls. I liked the mood and the atmosphere in the game. I often ended up in the woods against a tree. God job on finishing the game!

I’m not sure if you were able to see it, but I played your game on my stream at https://www.twitch.tv/saoigames tonight.

It was an interesting concept to combine zombie horror with racing. The road was very curvy which made it difficult to drive, but I imagine that was part of the point. Once when I got turned around, I could see the finish line behind me which was disorienting because I would think I would be driving straight ahead to get away from the zombies rather than around in circles.

I would have liked to see more branching paths where I could take forks in the road and might end up in dead ends that I have to turn around and retrace my steps as I flee from zombies. I also wish I could have seen the zombies in some way. The audio was great, but not everyone has headphones to experience the voice acting. A visual would have been more immersive.

I didn't care for the hand cutout graphic at the end when the zombies got me. It didn't fit with the aesthetics of the game and deterred from my enjoyment. I think it would have been better to find a higher quality graphic to match the visuals created with the trees and person cardboard that was inside the gameplay.

Congratulations on the Ludum Dare.

Like others have said, the controls could be improved. Good concept though, you definitely did well on the theme and mood. Great job!

Nice scary atmosphere, although as I think some other people have mentioned the controls were a bit weird, seemed a tiny bit of turning at high speed would send me swerving. Nice job!
