Really interesting idea, combining getting rid of bombs with racing.

This idea is too funny, all odds are against you! Even the opponents don't have bombs that's how you know this race is rigged. Speaking of the AI though, it's pretty great to watch them fly out the gates.

There were a few runs I had where I managed to get all the bombs off me in one go. Couldn't figure out how to do it though. Sometimes I could even do just running very slowly into the barricade.

One thing I really liked was how you just had diegetic tutorial panels built right into the stage. Can't say I've ever seen that in a racing game before. It fits well because the speed isn't too intense so you have time to read it anyways.

The game is flexible and I had fun doing stunts or trying silly things like racing across the mountains as a shortcut. I'm looking forward to seeing your magnum opus where you combine all the mechanics from your previous car games.

Nice concept! Very odd and tough controls that took some getting used to but with some tweaking could see it work really well.

Great Implementation on the Theme, i had so much fun with this XDD

Ok so I didn't read the page before launching the game and didn't understand that I had to blow up the bombs with the blue obstacles before losing. Cool game otherwise, the controls feel nice and tight. good job

I ran head on to the first blue item as it told me to hit those to blow up my bombs. but it just stopped me. So I think maybe some other indicator to show where to hit it instead of just hitting the whole thing. But I really liked the steering and driving was lots of fun.

Cool game, I liked the clean look of the graphics and the music. I had to get used to the controls but otherwise, it was fun

Wow 3D for a game jam. Nice 3D models. Solid controls. First i thought that I am a police cars with red lights all over ... even got rid of them and it said no bombs at the end. In the second playthrough I noticed that it is bombs. God game! I just did not see the game jam topic ...

**Cool to see a great number of racing games on the LD50!** :race_car: :red_car:

Nice idea, by the way. Can I suggest something? You should add more visual effects like dust, exhaust pipe fire, and so on. The game will be much more alive and visually attractive.

Nicely implemented racing game. Can be hard sometime, but I guess it is just my skill :shrug:

This game is really fun :D. It took me a while to get used to the controls, but once I did the game really drew me in. Good job ;)

The controlls are strange. Some feedback would be nice (dust on ground, or smoke from pipes) I wasn't sure the car is moving or not at start. Great work with level design and playarea, cool colors.

Was fun to play! It would be nice if i could bomb my opponents away too though :D

bearding8 2022-04-12 18:34

The controls are very difficult! But it's a nice submission for the jam. Good job :)

Def one of the more unique ideas for a game I've seen. If you smoothed out the driving controls this would be golden.

Nice little racing game!

I personally liked the controls and found it fun to drift and race, but the it was quite difficult to target those blue stuff so I just used the one near the end that can remove everything.

Good job and thanks for the game!
