I like the idea of having airplanes flying around the track, and the game itself was clean! It would be nice I think if the plane controlled a little more sensitively, it feels slow to change the movement of it. I'd also be interested to see what this looks like if the track was enclosed and maybe even with a couple small obstacles to avoid.

Unfortunately, it's too laggy to be playable (even in full screen). It's a shame because the style and music were nice. I've seen the idea of the loop as a circuit in other entries, but none of them had aircraft. It's a nice idea, try to optimize it and you could end up with a great game.

Developer

Sorry about the lag. thanks for the feedback.

384.87! I spent lots of time flying in space, checking out the pixel floating out there. I feel like that pixel sometimes, floating above the racetrack of life, just existing, floating; intangible.

So true actually

Developer

it is actually a remnant of a pickup-able buff (not sure what would happen if you pick it up), but alas scope creep got to me and i had no time to implement it, must have forgotten to remove it hehe.

Submitted

Please don't ever remove it, I related to it.

I got 140.81! I think the game might be more exciting if there were boost rings, faster movement in general, and maybe some more effects to sell the feeling of flying fast and racing? I can see it as a flying F-Zero like game potentially.

Nice racing game! Like others have said, an inverted controls option would be nice, but you do get used to it at some point. Also had some freezes sadly, but I think after some time, everything was loaded and it was smoother. Pretty cool game!

I like racing as a plane, but it was difficult to get used to the controls because most plane games have down as up and vise versa. Still very cool!

Developer

Hi thanks for the feedback!

Invert of up/down is something i have as a task to implement, just didn’t have enough time i guess :).

Love racing games! managed to get decent place by cutting corners on the loop :D
I also had trouble making it work, it worked only when I started 8th, maybe some wrong collsions?

Thats great, i hope you liked it.

The spawning at the start is abit buggy. If the bots and the player spawn in the same position it might bug out the physics, that might explain what you experienced.

The idea is very cool! Only thing i found the controls a bit clunky, and sometimes the game was freezing. Good job dude!

Developer

Hey thanks for playing my game.

Sorry about the freezing, i suspect it has to do with the explosion particle effect when an aircraft crashes. due to shaders being compiled.

The portal checkpoints are a nice way to keep the player from taking off. After getting used to the inertia, I really enjoyed the gameplay. 

I have an idea for a possible improvement: what about uncapping the speed (perhaps do a soft cap to simulate atmosphere), and let the player decide how far they want to push their luck by accelerating?

Developer

Thank you for checking my game out.

Thanks for the feedback i will think about it.

I would have loved a bit more speed to give me those Wipeout vibes 🚀 Certainly something you can continue working on. Good job! 👏

Developer

Hey , i agree. thanks for the feedback. And thank you for playing my game.

i will make sure to check your game out!

Wow, this is a really cool game. I feel like I'm really flying, some games don't give me that feeling, but your game gives me that feeling.

Developer

Thank you for taking the time playing my game. And thank you for the kind words!

it just doesn't work....

Hey could you please try again it should have larger window as a default by now.

If you are still having issues could you explain more in detail what the problem is, thanks!
