Awesome idea! Love the take on the theme and feels like a nice innovation on the classic Tron game. Nice work!

Seems to be an error when trying to run this game in browser. I ran into the same issue, had to upload the game to Itch.io instead!

Fun game, the ai was a bit too easy, but that is probably hard to do in the time frame. The song, controls and the graphics were all really tight though.

I'd love to see a multiplayer version of this! Well done :)

Really awesome game! Super stylish. It's practically a 10 second battle royale which is a great idea Would have loved to pick my colour, and it should have some kind of gong/feedback when someone gets eliminated.

Haha wow, that was fun! I'll admit, it took me a while to understand the mechanic where racers get eliminated (I just didn't see the cars disappearing) but then like a minute later I realized there were only a couple cars left, and the game got super intense.

So it happened that at first I didn't understand what I was doing, but the last 30 seconds of the game were probably one of the more adrenaline-fueled experiences I've had recently :D

Awesome game!

Feedback: Try adding some sort of particle effect or outline to the player character car to make it easier to keep track of. Also, the menu with the cars and standings is way too big.

Cool idea! It definitely should have a particle effect and sound when a car gets eliminated. (Maybe it explodes and its color of paint splatters all over the nearby area.)

It would be cool to see how this plays in multiplayer and with levels that have walls and other obstacles.

A lot of great feedback, thanks! Many of the points were on our list of stretch goals or things that had to be cut due to time constraints. Could have used another few hours just for polishing. E.g. there is an explosion sound when a car is eliminated and a pixel dissolve effect but it's barely noticeable, even if you know it's there.

@gabriel-chan what browser are you using? Just ran into the game not loading at all on Firefox. We'll try to get the build up on itch.io as well :thumbsup:

Edit: Itch.io build has been added. Hopefully that works when the ldjam embedded build fails.

I won ! Even if you did not liked the theme, the idea is great ! The game is fun to play and the pain effect is really well made :) The game could be even funnier if you had some powerups or something like that !

Good job, i really liked your game.

LMAO THIS IS BETTER THAN SPLATOON 3. As a F1 fan, I'm glad to see myself beating the greatest drivers in F1 history lol.

This game is awesome! It's very satisfying to paint everything your color. I found painting near the edges to be the best strategy. The only thing I would improve would be the UI to make it easier to see who is the next one to be eliminated (maybe sort the players based on area covered, highlight the player, and add a timer). There's a lot of potential here! The music is also very nice! Great job!

I played so many games ! Very addictive concept, great job !

A really neat game, driftin end covering oter car's fresh trail feels very nice. Very nice game!!

alchemic 2022-10-15 03:16

Pretty solid. Nice implementation of the idea. Nice audio.

fireks 2022-10-16 12:58

Really cool concept! I think it could be multiplayer to be more fun! Looking forward into it!
