Very cute idea, not too sure I like not being able to participate during or at least sabotage the others hehe , music slaps , I have a pet frog and he sang along
Incredible art and music, though the simulated races weren't super engaging
If this had a "Speed Up Time" it would have much better pacing, now I setup the cars and stare at my screen and the game plays itself. I really like the art and sound design, it looks and sounds very cool. Also it has its personality. The idea is nice and it fits the theme.
Interesting idea
The first game I played on this Jam today and I am really glad!
My boy Tiflos really squandered all the expensive gear I gave him by driving backwards the whole race :laughing:

This was pretty cool! I didn't realize at the first race that I was trying to get *all* the mushrooms to finish well. I really like games where you kit out a character, and then it auto-plays. This vaguely reminded me of some old game I played in the early 90s, but I can't seem to figure out what it was.
I'm not sure if there was a way to "win" or "lose" - it seemed like each track just unlocked after each race? Let me know if I missed anything there. It said there was a new track unlocked after the 3rd race, but I only saw 3 tracks.
Good work!
Really liked the idea of the game. I would change the color of the names to make them more visible. Like for the mushrooms :thumbsup:
Overall I liked the idea inside (damn, writing AI for the game couldn't be anything but fun!) but I did not understand how to... win? Like the idea of the gameplay
Also dragging instead of clicking in menu with vehicle parts is not very convenient :)
It took me a while to understand the mechanics.
One thing I can suggest (if you could go back in time, etc.) is to add a simpler first track. The one with only 1 opponent and your single driver (only one, not a whole team of 4). And make it in a way that winning would require some reconfiguration. This way, the player will learn some of the mechanics in a less hectic way, in a more controllable environment. In fact, this first "easy" level would be a great sandbox material where you can focus on just your single car (sans the single opponent, but it should be easy to distinguish your driver vs that AI-controlled one). With this single change, the game would be much easier to grasp in my opinion.
Other than that, it was an interesting experience. The icons used for the items are so hot, I like this artstyle.
I guess it was already mentioned before, but the race can stuck until the final countdown even if all moving cars finished the final lap if some random car broke along the way a long time ago. So I had to use the speedup x3 and wait for the timer to run out. It's not as annoying as it could be, but it feels janky.
It would be nice if cars that spun out and caught fire were considered "out of the race", otherwise you have to wait out the whole 20 second countdown for cars that aren't moving. I like the concept, but it would be fun to have more gameplay, maybe earning money by placing well to upgrade your cars further for the next race.
Cool game idea! I liked it! Good job!
Interesting idea. It's fun to watch my mushrooms complain about race, when one of them just got stuck in the corner. I don't know if it should be like this, but on first map some of NPC's just stopped moving. Still i think game have some potential.
I thought it was really cool!
I would love for there to be more of a "you can only unlock the next track if you reach an average 10th place for each racer" or something, but what was there was brilliant.
The racing itself wasn't fun enough for me, but I really liked everything else about the game! First of all, everything is perfectly put together, the art style, the mechanics, everything just works. The menu is great, the descriptions made me smile and the mushrooms are just the best guys in the world.
Interesting idea :) I like the characters with their sayings. As already mentioned, it drags a little because after the configuration you only watch and don't actively participate :)
Cool idea, very nice job
Very nice game! Good job!
Pretty fun game! Would have loved a career mode, where you would start with a bad set of racers and not much money, then you gain money after each race which you can use to buy better drivers/car parts. That would allow for a feeling of progression and some extra strategy (eg I know that a rainy race is coming up, so I should invest in a driver who knows how to handle wet roads).
Great work!
Wow, it's a cool tycoon game. So polished and well made.
