Nice idea, but too hard to stay on the ground. I was able to drive a circle on 10 attempts.
Really cool racing game! I loved the gravity-defying design of the track! The vibe of the arena was also pretty cool with the lava floor and the cheering fans.
The main issues I faced with this game, however, was the handling. I would drive along fairly happily until I reached a certain speed where turning would cause me car to instantly crash into the wall. I didn't feel like I could control it.
All in all, you've managed to get a lot into this game! Driving controls, gravity defying cars, AI, powerups, the lot! A great effort for 72hrs :D
Nice game ! Good level of polish on the driving nice. The loss of control is a bit too brutal I think, seems to happen way too often when the ai pick up crates. I was also able to hit oil and spin off the side of the track getting stuck on a blue bg. Well done overall!
Well done! Main prob: the handling of the vehicle. I get ejected of the loop aswell but a lot of work done in 72hrs.
Nice game, I made a derby game as well, but I focused on different aspects.
Good job on managing to finish 3 vehicles and 4-5 powerups, also the map, audience was well detailed, and the whole game felt polished.
One problem I had was that turning was too sensitive. When I switched to the biggest vehicle to counter this, it was a bit better, but still was too sensitive.
And the physics could be improved as well, because this is a derby game, but in this game collision with the track or with the other players is very punishing. After colliding with something I always did a 180 degree turn, instantly got to zero speed, and I most likely got behind everybody else.
Maybe you just intended this game as a different kind of derby game, but personally I really like crushing other players' vehicles :D
Good entry nonetheless, gave me some ideas! :)
The game is pretty fun, however very buggy and it gets unplayable very fast when the handling goes to absolute zero. However for what it's worth, you accomplished a lot for these 72 hours! The music was awesome, the vibe was like a rammstein concert! Good stuff!
It s a very good game. The handling of vehicles is challenging but have a nice variety of these and powerups. The track is good too and have good visuals for the time. I like it. If you have time please check our game. Tanks.
It was fun! First 3 or 4 times i tried only to understand how the car drives and how the gravity work on the map, and when i understood it... a I didn`t get the challenge. I think it is way too easy, but it is still VERY fun racing game for LD. Thanks for the game, and good luck to you!
Neat idea for a racing game! Ii had most of the same issues as other people in regards to handling. It felt like you somehow tied the turn rate to your speed so the faster you go the faster you turn. But this led to me tapping turn and slamming into the wall next to me. Also the AI seemed to confuse itself quite a bit but great for you to get racing AIs in.
It's a fun game idea about destructive cars. I liked the graphics, the sound, and the whole ambience involved. I liked the shape of the tracks too. I just had trouble controlling the car using the keyboard (I didn't get to test it on the controller), unfortunately the commands were recognized in a delayed way, and sometimes they even stopped working completely. But I understand that sometimes these are adjustments that you will have to make over time. I believe you were able to deliver something interesting in 72 hours. Congratulations.
Wow, nice work, there's a lot here for 72 hours. Vehicle controls, AI, visual effects, sound effects, a whole crowd, powerups !
Like others mentioned, I also strugged with the controls. Just turning really. The throttle control felt great but turning was difficult to judge, as if the turning started accelerating as I held it down. This was with a keyboard btw.
From a game perspective, it felt like I had very little chance to get back into the race after a mistake. Partly due to my terrible driving skills but also because most powerups seemed to focus on cars behind me, and I really kept trying to get rockets to stop cars ahead of me. I wish I'd had more chances to make a comeback.
Overall this is a really solid jam with tons of content!
After dying many times to veering off the road to my doom, I found that playing with a controller made a much better experience. I even managed to complete multiple laps in a row! Also nice use of Perturbator.
10/10 second best mobius strip based driving game I've played all jam
shockwave op pls nerf
