Wow, this is one of the most complete racing games I've ever played across many jams. The AI(?) behavior looks amazing and was tuned very well such that the game felt competitive. Fantastic job. The turning feels a bit wonky on WASD (I think it's too sharp?) but everything else felt great. Also maybe my favorite take on the theme so far.
Wow, that was awesome! Great graphics, music fit, and it was fun. The controls were the biggest let down. Would have loved to see better controls, but that's a minor thing that can be fixed. Overall, great job!
Curse that sun for going down and ruining the rover racing. Was very entertaining and loved the flipping. Only got stuck once on a side that pretty much knocked me out of my race.
Hey, thanks for sharing! I played your game on stream. See timecode 8:00 https://youtu.be/euv3GH5eSOo
Awesome kart racer! I loved the easy-to-use trick mechanic, and it's amazing how much more fun some AI racers make the game. Great work!!!
Awesome game. Really liked the music and low poly style. Really good job for a comp game :D.
Very polished game; the path finding of the other solar bots was spot on.
A really well done kart racer! I love the rover/sun concept and the AI racers were hilarious to compete against!
This game is really charming and a lot of fun to play! I love how over-the-top the rover's tricks are -- and that the AI rovers do them too! :D Congrats on an awesome compo entry!
A fun and well made little racing game. Love the music.
Really fun game, and the concept is very original. The AI rovers behave well, and the game feels fairly dynamic and engaging to play. Good job!
This was fun! Really nice job tuning the AI to feel competitive! The music kept it really happy and upbeat the whole time too!
That was unexpected. I firstly thought that it was a exploring game, but it really is racing game and you also managed to implement bots. Impressive! But I'm pretty sure that they use some cheats for moving in the environment :) Also really liked the sound, music and the shader on the batteries Controlls, a bit tricky and sometimes it hard to control where your rover will end up
Nice racing game. The graphics and the music reminded my very much of another racing game from the game/console company that shall not be named. Very well made. At some point I got stuck between a crater and a wall, but only once. Well done!
The music is amazing. Horn section like from Bob Crewe orchestra followed by Chick Corea soloing :) Are you a keyboard player as well apart of being a game dev?
Very impressive compo entry. Polished and feature-complete. I love the quirky music and take on the theme - very cheerful and fun vibe.
With a bit of control and level generation tweaking you could really take this to the next level. At the moment I wish the drifting felt more responsive and had more utility, and that I had to press a modifier button to do tricks. Otherwise it feels unnatural to have to go off the throtle as you hit a ramp if you don't want to do a trick, and there's no air control. As for level generation, it'd be nice if there were no obstacles in front of speed boost ramps. Really annoying to boost into a tree. Just some small tweaks that could improve the feel of the game immensely.
Nonetheless, like I said, a great entry.
Awesome little game. I loved how you had different biomes, other racers, and rover flips. Altogether, it made me smile.
A race the sun like, I wan't do to a game like that !!!
3087 meters, 1st place. Nyoooooom!
I was expecting something solemn and thoughtful about the mars rovers... but this was awesome! Is the track procgen?
Great game. Loved the chaoticness with all the rovers and the graphics. Like others mentioned, with more time it would have been nicer to polish the controls. I played around a little with drifting, although the race is straight, and it feels off because sometimes the steering locks down even after letting go off shift. Also usually you need to steer the opposite direction of which you are facing in order to drift. All in all consider that you did this in 48 hours, its really impressive!
Super impressive! Def brought me back to Mario Kart. So sad when I run out of juice though. I wanna keep heading to that Earthset! Thanks for the amazing compo game!
Great game, it reminded me Mario Kart ! I had a lot of fun trying to race the other rovers et doing some sick tricks.
Good job :slight_smile:
