Just downloaded your game ;) What controller does it need?
A typical gamepad, I use a PS3 controller but any similar controller should hopefully work.
Really hard to control, but I guess that's on purpose :).
I think I made one circuit and I stopped playing when my car flipped on its side and I couldn't move anymore.
It's interesting as a proof of concept? But it doesn't seem to have any actual gameplay, just driving on a small linear circuit (with some difficulty)...
Clever name, though
The controlls are not responsive, so when you stopped turning, it would just keep on going to the previous direction. Controll over the car is the main reason people dont quit racinggames. Otherwise, the game would be extremely frustrating.
The pauses just ruined the game. It added nothing. I understand that the pauses were your main idea, but your idea should make your game better, not worse.
And dont just steal the example from the theme. This will harm your innovationscore.
Also, the car could be flipped, and the game would just keep on going.
Im sorry if this review was harsh, but you need to understand where you failed, to not repeat your mistakes.
Ditto on what CrispyPear said
don't own a controller, cannot review sorry.
Not a fan or your game design choices. When we play, it just feel like our little brother keep pushing Start on a second gamepad to piss us off.
I think you could have taken a more extreme turn-based approach. With an unlimited pause where you could take time of thinking of your input, have feedback on what you choose and then a validation to end this pause and see what are the results of your choices.
very enjoyable, a bit hard, but fun! great work!
