While the game feels very polished and complete, the core gameplay does not really work as the meteors fall so slowly they never pose any real danger and there is no "goal" to the game (highscore, opponents, time trial etc.). Also the car drives really strangely.
Great game! my score \o/

the game looks amazing too, great work ^^
Really cool take on the theme and nice graphics. Meteors feel a bit too easy to avoid.
race.PNG That was quite enjoyable. The game looks nice and driving is fun.
I think there should be a higher penalty for crashing so that driving with breaking is the correct strategy.
The meteors fall too slow, they aren't really an obstacle.
Overall had fun!
Not the best, but good enough: screenshot.png A very ambitious jam project that works well enough, I feel though that the meteors could rarely ever hit me when I was going full speed. A nice take on the theme though. Well done!
Visually this is very impressive, and I can't fault you on the theme! The billboard ads are also a nice touch. I do have some suggestions - turning felt very strange, I think it's because the car goes from "straight" to "turning" instantly instead of gradually increasing the turn rate. In addition, I hoped that slowing down would lead to better turning but it didn't seem to.
As well as that, the meteors didn't really feel like too much of an obstacle - I know you're constrained by the timing, but perhaps something like meteors that leave behind debris that gets in your way in future laps, or other obstacles that the meteors set off? I don't know for sure.
Good stuff though, enjoyed it!
That graphic is amazing
Really good looking game. As others have mentioned, the car handling feels a little strange but in my experience that's very tricky (and time-consuming) to get right. This is an ambitious type of game to attempt for a jam, and it's fun to play.
Well I didn't expect that the actual meteors will start falling down on track! Great aesthetics, and it works well! Driving physics might get a bit more polish especially the deceleration rate when you stop accelerating. Other then that it's a very solid entry!
PS: Of course I missed the part about that in the description.
cool game, especially for a jam! i appreciate the voice acting, its done pretty decently. however the car was a bit too stiff; turning was strained and the car decelerated way too fast. great game overall though!
A big fan of racing-game here! The graphics is outstanding. I love the atmosphere and your voice. :joy: Tho I found the meteors can hardly hit me. :grin:

The game looks really good and is very fun to play ! Also quite a challenge with a racing game, I never managed to make wheel colliders work the way I want to in Unity myself haha
A piece of advice that I can give is to try it the Cinemachine package, it really helps making the camera smoother.
Keep it up !
Whooo! Love the racing vibe the racing tracks are awesome to drive on and adding the meteors to disrupt the driving is a nice touch, I love it! It would be cool if the meteors could cover more of the area or bigger, maybe? Would be cool to see the game be developed further! :D
Thank you for a wonderful experience!
There could be more on the racemap design and car physics, to encourage player not always pressing forward button as I can't find a lot of places to improve on my lap time currently due to the rather over simplified racemap design. Meteors could be spawned in a longer sequence, with a more scattered pattern, so it poses more threat to the player and might prevent the player from ignoring them completely with just speed. I love the quality of the art assets, especially considering how little time we got to create them, overall a nice game, congrats!
Pretty cool! Tossed it on my Steam Deck (been looking for a racing game fwiw). Gamepad controls don't seem to work out of the box, at least on the Linux binary. Played w/ keyboard mouse emulation.

Really great visual look to the game and a fun arcady car to drive around the track, I like that it starts drifting right away. I felt really no reason to do anything other than press forward though, and the meteors were a bit too easy to dodge.
The game looks great and polished! I liked the implementation of the theme as it added something to the gameplay and didn't felt too forced. The visuals were definitely more than I expected in a 3D jam game :)
Looks great, the controls feel a little weird though. Probably too much deceleration after you release the forward button: it makes impossible to keep a constant speed between zero and max.
Nice game!
I really liked the art. The car looks nice, the track looks nice, and the fog gives a cool mood, plus the change of colors when meteors come in make it looks even cooler. The menu and UI look professional. Controls felt fine, and the track was simple but interesting. (I couldn't play with controller though, had to use my keyboard)
Meteors felt too easy to avoid, like they always landed behind me anyway. I would love to play more if meteors were less random or forced me to avoid them!
Thanks for the game I had a good time!
Fun! Great styling - everything fits together, and there is a cool feeling. Controls felt a bit weird, but they were easy to get used to. As Doot said, the meteors didn't really add anything to the game - it would be better if they were more targeted, and landed right on top of you.
Amazing job with this game!
