Really interesting concept. I like the idea here. You really need a few more objectives to keep things interesting (like a checkpoint you have to drive through rather than just surviving).

I like the idea! It is a little slow paced though.

Love the art style :) -> Please check out our game https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/ludums-kitchen

"WASD" and "Stay on the track" definitely helps haha! The theme is very innovated and a well-fitted for LD41! Making the card easier to use(allow us to use it in at any place after dragged it) would be nice.

Never thought I'd say "I need to topdeck a left hand turn", but here we are :)

Thanks for the game!

Lovely concept, have to rely a lot on the RNG to get the right cards you need to take the turns though :)

Nice graphics and good concept! For the possible development, I would add a finish line and a faster pace or higher speed on straight parts. Good job!

A card-based racer is probably the last thing anyone expected, nice use of the theme.

really neat game. it is just missing sounds (or is it my computer?). LAN multiplayer could be fun with a lap count instead of lives.

Thank you all guys, I really appreciate your positive feedback, it's motivating a lot. @CaptainPilot @Karin Strljic I wanted to add more features, but remaining time was my enemy :D @minirop There were no sounds, I don't have time to add them, but with the sound of screaming tires it would be soo good. @justsWn yeah, you are right, it needs some rebalancing. I might make a new version in future, so thanks for all feedback

i really wanted to make it round at least once but i never got the draw for it :( the rng gods have forsaken me TT_TT meh had fun anyway :D It would really have helped if the game played in short bursts maybe even just for an easy mode :P

@radmccool Thanks for the review, and what do you mean by "short bursts"?

radmccool 2018-04-25 17:31 ♥ 0

like... the player would play the first card, then the car moves for x seconds and then the car would stop. Then the player would play another card and then the car would move. Sort of like turn based movement. I could just be bad at the game though :P

The idea was good, but the pace was a little slow

I managed to keep it going for about three minutes. Interesting combination of playing mechanics. I reckon you should develop this further, could be quite a cool game with some AI opponents and an actually race.

i loved the idea and the art style!! I also made a racing game.. It's a fishing/racing game for 2 players if you want to check it: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/super-bass-racing

danes1111 2018-04-25 18:38 ♥ 0

@fazz Yes, I want to add AI in the first place, but at the end, I don't have time to implement it.

This is so neat - what a great concept and really embraces the theme - Feels fairly well balanced too.

sinemual 2018-04-25 18:48 ♥ 0

Nice concept)

@Lewis Quaife Thank you, sometimes it is balanced, but are times when the randomization is just against you.

@sinemual Thanks

ugh that punny title! Really cool idea, I would love to see it expanded on at some point.
