This game rocks! Great art and music.
I think that it doesn't fit with the theme, because there is no currency, but I like that it's something different to the rest :)
This is a _great_ game, and a wonderful interpretation of the theme. I really started having fun once I noticed I could get extra blood by running the other racers off the road. My only issue with the game is that sometimes the collisions would be weird, it definitely didn't pick up some blood items I had hit. I made the leaderboard, but probably won't stay there long. Great work!
Good game! Might have liked the level to be a bit shorter. Or there being some clear ramp up in difficulty.
👍
Enjoyed the game. Art and sound worked really well together. Definitely felt like the game would benefit from a full mini map so there's an idea of how much level is still remaining.
Think you guys have a really good base to go from. Well done!
Stunning! So great physics system in such A short time!
RIDING DOWN! DOWN A HEAVY ROAD! XD
God I love this. My only complaint is that I found it annoying how people could ride through me and though I loved the voice, I'd really liked to hear more line spoken. No matter what it did get a lil annoying by the end xD
Loved the game. Art and aesthetics are pretty awesome, physics and controls are on point, I wish there were a full blown game out of it. :D But overall work is impressive :^)
Awesome game! I like this idea, gameplay is exciting and sounds are very funny ;) It was my first finished race (I don't like this genre, but I really enjoyed this game)
Nice game! I had a lot of fun playing it. It's simple, but it works. Some improvements: this is quite repetitive, you should add more difficulties ; the turns are very hard.
What a crazy concept, guys! Really liked it. Amazing job for such a short time, would like to see more variation as well, but heck if this isn't pretty fun.
Really nice game, the graphics were very cute and the mechanic was simple but effective, although I would have made the track a little shorter. Also, I could not make a single good turn, I don't know if it's only me but it was pretty difficult.
@nayrahbbt Laying on the booster makes those tight turns pretty tough! Make sure to hit the brakes when you see a tight corner coming up, and you'll come out ahead with a little extra blood to boot!
I'm glad folks are having fun, I know I've had a blast!

I have enjoyed this game. Enemy crashing voice is nice.
funny sound effects! I liked it.
Really fun and interesting game. Blood-fueled cars is an interesting concept, and I like the incentive to crash other cars to fuel your own. Also, I love the mouth noises used to create the sound effects (at least, I assume so). Nice entry!
WHOOOAH BURNOUTTT! really fun!
Awesome! I was a driving, blood splashing crazy man!! Nice work!
Amazing racing game ! Nice interpretation of the theme ! Great work on sound and gameplay ! I really enjoyed this game ! Amazing characters ! Congrats ! :clap:
This game is awesome! Love how the game looks, how the tracks are built and how the camera follows you.
You seem to have a sprite sorting issue. I don't know what shader you are using but make sure you are using one that has ZWrite On.
Congrats on the game! ;)
wow, its very playable game. My only complaints are some graphical glitches and slippery controlls
The controls are a bit “uncontrollable” xd but honestly that gives it a good rage aspect. I had lots of fun!
@charlesschar Most of the SFX are Foley and we're made by 'mouth'! Good ear! Thanks everyone for the feedback!
WOAH..... BURNOUT.
THis game is quirky and i like it. blood fuel was a clever mechanic.
BURNOUT :D best soundeffect
Great sound effects. Really fun to knock others into the side rail. Great work!
2:36! Addicting gameplay, once I found out you can knock the other racers off the track (some car impact SFX would help for feedback there). Maybe it would have been better to hand design the course, rather than randomly place obstacles. But, alas, this is a jam. Nice job.
The voice overs are hilarious hahahaha! the music is pretty good hahahaha! Good usage of the theme, it fits nicely! Excellent work team! :)
Loved the overall quirky mood of the game; the sound and background design left much to be desired, but the tone and characters were spot-on. Not sure if it's completely on-theme either, but the physics and smooth controls made it incredibly fun to play. Great job!
Nice funny game! I had a good time playing it! Good job!
Awesome game. Amazing you got so much done in just 72 hours. Congrats 🙌
Funny! I liked the voice over and the voice-sound-fxs :) At first I wasn't sure if I was "boosting" as the feedback does not make it too obvious especially since I don't notice much speed increase but then I noticed the character leans forward and that's a nice touch.
Sadly WebGL crashed on my 1 minutes and 30 seconds into the race so I did not get to see the finish but I did enjoy everything before then and it does not affect my rating since I'm pretty sure it's my computer's fault. lol
Fun and hectic game, you really recreated the feeling of the old Cruis'n USA games with the little touches you added. I liked that there was a bit of strategy in knowing when you brake on the hard corners to maximize your blood meter, but ultimately the game was forgiving enough you didn't need to do anything crazy like that. I do think the concept has a lot more untapped potential given the world you built, would be curious to see what else you can come up with.
Good car game, reminds me of SNES mario kart. Models and soundtrack are great. Supernice that you have a leaderboard! The only thing I could complain about is that the controls are a bit jerky but otherwise, great game!
Slick looking game! I feel like the turning radius threw me into the borders rather often, but that's likely just a result of trying to go too fast into curves. I thought I was going pretty fast to get a time of 3m10s but it seems some folks have it down to around 2m30s, yowza!
Anyway, the graphical elements of this game are really slick looking. Given more time, I think a few of them would be better served as 3D models integrated into the track rather than floating 2D sprites above it. Given there was a hard limit on time though, I'd say the use of 2D objects was just fine. They're all well drawn.
Audio is good! I do love me some developer voice-overs. Would like to have had more lines recorded.
I dig the amount of 3D animation you got in there as well. Hopping into the car at the start was a pretty cool touch. I also liked that you folks got the blood gauge animated when braking. Just a couple polished subtleties that I thought were pretty awesome.
Good job folks!
This was a great racing game. I liked how you really simplified the controls and handling. Using your blood as the fuel was cute. The Bloodletting is actually kind of clever, IMO. It keeps the game fun for the player by not making them start over each time heh.
The art was pretty great, too. One thing I appreciated was the addition of the shadows under the floating blood objects. It made it less frustrating when trying to aim for them as I drove. Specially with a game like this. A small details like that go a long way.
Here's the [link to the stream](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/422835552?t=02m50s) as well. Your game should start around [00:02:05].
@snowschu Thank you for the review and playing it on stream! We really appreciate the feedback and are glad you enjoyed the game!
Thanks everyone for the great feedback! We know there's lots of room for improvement (it is a Jam game after all!) but we're really proud of what we made.
