This is a great idea, very creative! I did find the zoomed in camera a bit hard because the corners felt like they came up really fast. But really well executed concept that fits the theme well. Great work!
Agreed, the camera are too zoomed in. Thank you though :D
lol @ the title.
I did top down driving for mine this time too!
The music went hard, and I really like the concept, reminds me of Fzero!
I recommend adding some tire tracks or something to make it feel less floaty.
Good potential, nice entry!
Thanks! Idk how to make the game less floaty since if I do then everything feels too stiff and the character will just stop really fast, not really good at balancing thing
You're good, don't worry! I wasted so much time trying to get the perfect feel I ended up not getting to other aspects I wanted to work on, just a matter or priorities
Now I know why people enjoy isekai anime, thank you for enlightening me. The music really sold this otherwise kinda janky game haha.
With that said, I think it could have been also a bit easier to play if it was the track that moves instead of your car, so left is always left and right is always right, so it's more intuitive to control instead of you having to do some mental math when entering a corner.
Lol, idk about the only track moving thing though, theres other cars and it would make sense that the player actually moves, the corner though always an issue lol
This is really fun, I especially like that if you try to drive really slow on your first lap it eventually says yeah yeah yeah you're going too slow. I don't know if this is intentional, but I thought it was really cool how you can cut across the grass and get a faster time, It made getting around your clones easier.
Thanks man! The time limit is 80 seconds, originally it was 60 but it was too hard for beginners! Glad you enjoyed playing!
Very cool idea :D
The music seems to be broken
There is a hint before turning, I love this design
Thanks! I'm not sure why the music is kind of broken for you, I never had any problem with it
Maybe it's just that my player has some issues.
If most people haven't encountered this problem, then let's consider it doesn't exist.:D
fun game, i like beating my own score xd
Glad you liked it :D
Hey my friend, we both had the same core idea, but you managed to pull it off, in a way more polished state! I had great fun racing against myself, real geat job :)
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed! :D
Awesome and funny name and neat concept! I was hating on my past self for completing the race so fast that I couldn't beat it. It's so interesting to compete against yourself in this way. Congratulations, amazing game!
Lol, thank you :D
The fact that I am bad at racing games make me good at this game. Yay! \^-^/
The concept is cool and the game is fun, Good job! The only feedback I can give you is that maybe the camera is too close, I can't see the turns in time XD
Lol, same for me! I would definitely would have zoomed out the camera a bit more if I was paying more attention, but thank you :D
Fun concept! I had a bit hard time reading the text, so I would suggest maybe using darker background or darker letters!
Yup, I agree!
Fun game :) nothing much to complain
Glad you've had fun :D
Cool little game with a quirky concept.
Nice work!
Thanks :D
It's a very interesting gameplay.!
The graphic style reminds me of the games on the FC. I noticed that there seems to be some jittering when the characters are moving.
Thank you! Very true theres some jittering whilst the cars are moving, I couldn't find out how to fix them quickly so I just left them there ðŸ˜
So many micromachines vibes on this! I totally tried to cheat by going super slow in the first loop, but the game totally punished me by making my ghost super fast lmao. And I totallly saw that amongus! Great job on this XD
XD. I almost forgot I made a feature that was basically also an anticheat for 1 specific thing, it will look ahead of the current path to see if its actually closer to one in the future, and if yes then go there, so it's not actually perfectly following! Seems like you've found the easter egg
! Thanks :]
idk man seems fishy. FISHY. I tell ya. I don't think that was my past self at all!
Fishy for sure! Somethings a lil sus :o
Really cool game! It was fun to see my past car.
Yup, glad you liked it!
Great one, Racing againt past liked this idea
ty :]
Definitely one of the better "beat yourself" games in the jam. Keep up the good work!
thanks dood :D
The concept of the game is really cool.
ty :D
Well executed race-against-yourself game! Especially like the fact that your past selves can bump into you. I won though, cause I only get better with age. Cheers! :D
Cheers! Glad you had fun :D
