Had a lot of fun driving around. It's a clever idea. I couldn't get a very high score but I had a blast playing it! Nicely done

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing! im glad you had a good time.

nice idea! the drifting feels good, but the camera was a bit too strong for me lol
other than that, great job!

Developer(+1)

thanks man! yep a few people said the same about the camera, hope you had a good time;)

Submitted(+1)

Loved the mechanic, it is quite creative but the camera movement made me feel very dizzy. Good job for making it!

Developer

I'm glad you liked the concept! haha the camera does make you dizzy especially if you hit the big purple blocks, I first thought of keeping the camera rotation fixed but that would most likely lead to the player getting confused between his left right and the car's left right. There should be a best of both world's approach but hey thats the best i could do in 4 days lol. Thanks a lot for playing!

Feels super smooth to play! I wish there was some audio feedback but definitely a cool game :)

Developer(+1)

I know man some audio work would have been sick! I kind of got lost in the "all or nothing" trap, i was thinking of adding a realistic engine sound which i had no idea how to do so i ended up adding no audio at all. Im glad you find the gameplay smooth:) thanks for playing

The driving feels smooth, nice job!

Developer

Thank you very much!

It's a great twist on the drifting a car!

It's pretty satisfying to circle cubes (even more we you get two at once) so I feel like having a ton of feedbacks when you gain points could be extra rewarding for the player.

The gameloop is fun, the controls are really good, everything is well balancded and there are great tutorials too. 

Well done!

Developer

Having feedback like screenshake, particles and sound effects would definitely help, i just didnt have time to do all of that juicy stuff, Im glad you like the controls, i was worried about it being too difficult to control! I felt like the tutorial was a must to make sure the players understand what to do. Thank you very much for the feedback!

At the beginning it definitively wasn't that easy to make a loop, but once I realized I could control a bit the car's drift by pressing the movement keys I felt a lot more in control.

Very cool drifting mechanics ! Maybe more particle or audio when drifting could be cooler !

Developer

True! I didn't reallly think about the particles and about the audio lol i had no time at all, thanks for playing!
(btw if you know any good resource for making realistic engine sounds then sure lemme know, i dont know how that shiz works)

Fun drifting game. Good work!

Developer

Thank you very much!

Fun. Awesome control by the way!!

Developer

You're the only one saying that lol, Almost everyone says the car is very hard to control, im glad you find it fun! thanks for playing:)

Submitted(+1)

Developer
