While my 5:05 time might not stand up in the number 2 position for long, I was giggling the whole way through, nice work.

Btw, controls should not be inverted, reverse steering box compensates that rear axle is the one steering.

Could use some little balancing work, bit faster steering speeds, to make it more drivable. That said, it handles pretty much like harvester would, sluggish it is as a racing vehicle.

I kinda love the idea of a janky racing game with impossible controls. Seems like it would be awesome in co-op, but this pushes it a little too far haha. I was laughing the whole time though. I think adding a harvesting element to the race would also help, perhaps giving the player a bonus for doing well

Pretty fun little racer. There's something endearing about a racing game where your top speed is about 45 mph. I had a hard time getting the hang of it initially, but after playing around for a bit, felt pretty good. I guess I have the top spot for now. =D

The environments were nice, and the track was well designed, put me through the paces a bit. Nice work.

This is okay little game. Sadly the controls felt really bad, and the rest function was also a bit broken. But the idea was fun and everything looks pretty good. The sounds are fun and fits the game pretty well. Overall a pretty okay jam game.

Music and theme were on the spot. I personally cant play with inverted keys my brain does not work that way. The harvester felt like it was on ice road and it was very hard to control the vehicle. This ofc may be because of the inverted keys. Good job with the game.

Thats one drifty combine harvester, hahaha!

At first I was really confused, after pressing `R` to restart the game and my combine went flying, I was even more confused. Then came the controls, could not handle the first turn.. But then.. Then it clicked and I was able to drift through the entire course. :smile: It actually has learning curve which is really cool for a jam game.

Super fun game and as someone already mentioned, game like this could be super fun in co-op game.

At first I was mad at the inverted controls but I started to understand that it was meant to be - that's how racing with a heavy harvesting vehicle should feel like :D Additional + for the mouth noises as the sounds of the engine XD

Hey everyone, thanks for the feedback and nice comments :) I've added a WebGL build on the Itch.io page, so you should now be able to play in your browser, if you have any issues then I would suggest trying the Windows build instead.

It took a moment to get used to the controls but after getting it, it was fun to play. I also liked the graphics. Thanks for the browser update. :)

For me the a key went right and d, left. Was that intentional???

5:20 overall time, so I'm basically a fully certified farmer now :sunglasses:

I found the slidey/drifty controls of the vehicle fun, and the voice sound effects were a nice touch (although given that the track is like 5 minutes long, a slightly longer loop wouldn't hurt :P )

Overall, me and my friend who simultaneously raced had fun!

Clocked in at a solid 10:38 score :)

That was an experience. Loved the voice and played it with @breadstick and it was super fun. The controls were weird as hell but I kind of enjoy them?? I wonder if the left/right swap was intentional since we noticed it was the rear wheels that turned instead of the front.

Great game!

bubblemapgaming 2023-01-15 10:32

Thanks all, yeah @poboy and @icalm the swapping is intentional as the steering happens from the back. As @jormarysky pointed out this wouldn't happen irl but I think it makes for some more interesting and outright silly gameplay

nikolaj 2023-01-16 18:14

love the combine, and really love the motor sounds :rofl: !

However, why does A go right and D go left?? making my poor brain hurt!

Interesting game. I like how you approached the game. It looks nice and plays well.

oadt 2023-01-21 12:13

Hilarious sound effects :smile: The controls felt a bit rough but I guess that was kind of the point. The only thing that really nagged me about them is when you steer backwards (The direction you move do not correspont to the tires).

Couldn't make the first turn. 10/10
