I'll echo other reviewers and say this one is difficult! However it is really well executed. The racer controls feel great and I have only myself to blame when I mess up :)

Developer

I should probably ask at this point instead of assuming; how did the difficulty manifest for you? Was the eliminator just too fast, or was the track too difficult? Or if you got far enough, did the ghosts cause you too much trouble? Thanks in advance for any info you can give me :)

The biggest thing was if I ever messed up it was too punishing. I basically couldn't get my speed back up in time and would get eliminated. I like the track being difficult, I like the pressure of the eliminator, but I feel like mistakes were just punished too harshly. But to be clear, I'm not a Dark Souls style player, so if you're looking for it to be super difficult then that is a valid choice.

Developer

No that's good feedback! I'm definitely prone to underestimating the difficulty in my games haha. Thanks again for the detailed feedback :)

really difficult for me felt like sometimes very luckbased but either way loved the cartoony style,the design that I had to beat my previous loop, and the controls felt so fluid and responsive. great job!

This game was really hard! I only managed to complete one loop, but it was fun nonetheless. Nice Game!

it's addictive, i think with some polishing it can be a full game

Developer

Thank you 🙏 And we'll see, I may cannibalize some of the ideas into another game I'm planning on making.

Really hard but a fun wipeout style game

Hey thanks for playing!

I like the look and concept of your game, the plane feels fluid and I appreciate the tooltip with all the controls listed. But I wasn't able to complete a loop because I think the Eliminator is too fast, especially for someone just starting the game and they are not familiar with the course yet. Maybe each loop you can increase its speed, which will naturally ramp up the difficulty. 

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it, sorry about the difficulty however, it was probably too much.

I really liked this idea. Wish there was high octane music to go with the game. But I kept a while playing trying to surpass my record so good work!

Developer

Cheers, I really wanted to put some music in too but everything I made was ass, and didn't manage to get around to making something good due to time constraints haha.

Love the concept and how simple it is. Also surprisingly addicting. If there weren't more games to play then I'd definitely put some more time into this!

Developer

Thanks for the kind feedback, but there's heaps of good games out there, and much better than mine haha. Have fun sifting through them!

I love the games aesthetic :D The droning noise as the wall approaches you is also a really nice touch.

Developer

Thank you!

This was great! The simple aesthetic goes a long way because you chose great colors and the subtle shading and effects really help sell it. I’m taking notes for sure lol

My only critique is that the acceleration is super unforgiving. If you hit anything your run is basically toast (or it’s just a skill issue lol) but having my speed take such a hit really ramps up my nervousness lol

I hope you keep updating this because I spent a while playing and would love to see this get fleshed out more. Great job!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback and the kind words!  I agree the game may be too punishing, the game definitely needs more polish in terms of balancing, in many ways. Thanks again for playing!
