An interesting concept, but I feel the player is too big on screen and you just don't have enough time to react to the oncoming obstacles

You can adjust how quickly the game speeds up/starts/ and maximum speed in options, the game starts off as higher than we intended due to some weirdness with unity sliders. Thanks for playing!

Seems like the speed is growing too fast The wheel radius may be too small. Because it's hard to have time to react

Hey, nice game! It's pretty fun to play, and you get addicted to it after just playing for a few minutes, great work! Oh, and if I may ask, how did made that kinda "slide" effect on the screen on the road where the player is, it was lens distortion or something like that?

Great game! Had fun for quite a while. I do think the standard difficulty is too high, reducing the starting speed to 20 made wonders haha. I think this game would benefit from a mechanic that made the camera farther depending on the speed you are currently, as in the top speeds is barely possible to plan ahead. Liked the music, although maybe the loop was a little too short, and found the aesthetics cool all around (maybe some smaller menu buttons? haha). Congrats, lads.

@hakunasoft not entirely sure what you mean, but in terms of post processing the game uses chromatic aberration and vignette (the sorta shadow round the edge) We did play with lens distortion early on to help sell the loop but it caused a bit too much eye strain to not much benefit.

@cfdj43 I see. I mean this effect right here, as showed on this screenshotdownload.png

Really love the graphics and audio for the game. The starting speed was way too high, but after adjusting it in the options I enjoyed it. Well done!

Cool graphics and post processing, gameplay is pretty attractive too) This game needs easy levels cuz now its veeeeery hard)

cfdj43 2020-10-09 10:49

@hakunasoft Oh I think I see what you mean, that's just due to the camera's perspective on the loop models I think?

hakunasoft 2020-10-10 01:08

@cfdj43 Oh, I see.

Nice game!

Cool game, but it is REALLY hard by default, that's too bad, it is not really engaging for newcomers. I restarted the game after seing that an option could make it slower by default. It's a matter of preference, but I don't think it is a very good way to set difficulty, I don't trust players to set the difficulty right if they have the choice, I feel they won't naturally try to challenge themselves. Other than that, the game is pretty beautiful and the gameplay is simple but works pretty well. Good job !

Partly match the theme, maybe next time it will be better.. Not too horiblle art but next time try invest time more into art. Average fun game, but maybe next time you will polish the gameplay and it will be better.

Doesn't really match the theme... However gameplay was enjoyable with good audio, visuals and overall nicely done!

I think this game fit the theme very well! It was simple but fun and well executed. Pretty hard but when you get on a good run it feels great.
