I really like the variety and colour of the track, and the looping mechanic is really creative. It’s a neat way of creating obstacles and seeing your past performances, but I particularly liked that they could bump into each other. It got really crazy right at the beginning of the track, where a dozen cars were crashing into each other and exploding… I just hung back for a few seconds before starting, lol.

I found the controls pretty unwieldy. You turn really sharply, to the point that if you do anything but tap lightly you will hit a wall for sure. I saw that there’s a drifting mechanic in the game, but I can’t imagine how that could possibly be useful when the turning is already so sharp. I also think the speed cap for crashing on contact with walls is maybe a little low - in general it’s slightly too easy to spin out of clip a wall and explode. (On a similar note, the collision is kind of janky, and a few times I got flung into the air for no clear reason.) It got a little frustrating, especially because dying actually makes the game harder because of the copies.

Nice work overall!

I had a lot of fun, the controls are nice and the past selves idea is pretty cool – it gets chaotic fast haha. The graphics are really pretty, and I especially like the track design. I spent quite a lot of time just driving around and clipping through stuff for fun. I think the camera movements needs a bit of polish, but aside from that, really great entry!

Nice idea! The car controls are satisfying, except for maybe the landings that are a bit too uncontrollable for my taste. But the track looks nice and plays nicely, great work!

Absolutely loved the gameplay! Although would've preferred to have an option to use arrow keys, since I am used to playing racing games with arrow keys. The menu screen was very beautiful, with the windows showing different parts of the track. And the controlling of the car was great as well, one of the best car control feel of the games I played in the jam. Overall very nice great job guys! I would love your opinion on my submission as well! :)

The parts of the track where it crosses over itself are brilliant! Unfortunately, the game lagged a bit for me, probably because I have the GMTK stream open in another window. I had fun!

I hope you'll try and rate my entry too!

Love a good racing game. This is a super fun concept and executed pretty well given the time frame! The big loop caught me by surprise in a very good way!

Developer

Yess! Happy it was able to give off that feeling!

It has a cool idea with a lot of potential, like being able to interact with the ghosts in more ways. It reminds me to a game that when you die, your body lays there for the next person to use it as a bridge.

Controls are fun, and the mass of explosions at the start after 1 minute of playing are even funnier. Was a bit weird not being able to make a lap, something I noticed later because I haven't read the bug in the description until now 😓, but I wasn't able to make more than a lap so it doesn't matter.

It's a nice, fun and chill game.

Thankyou for the feedback! Yeah the idea of using previous loops is a great inspiration, if we can take the idea further we want to use your previous loops to self sacrifice to explode open shortcuts, for your future loops to use!
Thanks for playing!

Really fun and great controls/feeling to driving! I did create a mass explosion at spawn.

Once again, my past self is my greatest enemy. Great game, love the premise and I'm a sucker for a good loop-de-loop.

Developer(+1)

At least one loop-de-loop had to be done!
Thanks for playing!
