The handling of the car is crazy hard lol. I don't know how you can get more than 5 laps, I certainly couldn't do it.

A thing I would like to see improve on is at the start of each lap, you are handed a new car to control, but the racing continues normally without pause, so you don't have time to register where your new car is and you can just crash very easily when the new lap begins. There should be a brief pause so the player can get their bearings.

The visuals and audio are nicely done.

Great work on the entry! I'm impressed with the way you record the inputs from the previous lap. That made for a cool way to race against the ghost cars that I could manipulate! Solid job, and best of luck in the jam. 

Submitted

6 laps is my best :) The biggest problem for me isn't my copy, rather to stay on the track. Great game.

Developer

Yeah you have to get used to the handling of the car a bit, thank you!

Submitted

Super interesting! I liked the concept and how it got more hectic as time went on. I think the controls felt a bit weird, maybe just because the player starts facing down, which means that normal left/right controls start reversed. Being able to change your acceleration could also be useful, maybe trying to position all the cars in specific places could be neat. It was pretty tough but still fun, good job!

Developer

Yeah we choose a poor position for the start lol, thank you!

Super fun idea would love to see if you kept working on this! I think it could be really fun! The controls are a bit jarring and maybe an acceleration/break would help a little with it. But overall great game!

Developer

thanks :)

Great idea, even if I found it very hard and kept dying haha

Developer

it's a bit challenging xD

I like the game, I also died 4 times at the start trying to understand the controls lol

Developer

Thanks!

Great little racing game, liked the music. Maybe lacking a small countdown at the start to get ready, but just nitpicking. Good job!

Submitted (1 edit)

Nice game and music! Driving is fun once you get used to it, its challenging in a fun way.

Submitted

A simple and pretty fun little racing game. Well done.

Submitted

That track was a jam, the song and the... track. I easily defeated my ghosts, although I felt a little bad for sending back to their automobile realm.

Submitted

The driving feels very good, just enough swerve to encourage leading turns and such. Fun!

Submitted

Oh this was an interesting submission. I ended up having to take different routes and change my turn radius each lap so I didn't trap myself. A neat idea if there was a placement system like an actual race. So that as you make ghosts you have to be good enough to beat them but not so good that you can't beat your next ghost. Overall though, excellent job.

Submitted

Nice game, the controls are easier than my driving game indeed ;)
If you take feedback : i would have enjoyed it even much more if the ghosts cars were not taking life points away but had rigidbody collisions with  the player, it would be so chaotic :) and easier to get to higher scores

Developer(+1)

Yeah it would have been interesting to have collisions between vehicles, thanks for the feedback :)

Submitted(+1)

Very nice.

If you are considering post-jam polish, I have two reccommendations:

1. A countdown after the game begins but before the car starts moving, so you have a second to get your bearings.

2. Cars colored to contrast with the track a little more strongly.

Developer

thanks!

Really fun trying to avoid your previous attempts

thanks!

Great game! I like the art

Developer

thanks :)

At first I thought I was racing against my old self, so I was taking wide turns and so on but then I crashed and I figured it out. I liked the game although the cars moved weirdly, like in bursts instead of continuous speed

Nice one

Developer

thanks dude

Cool game!

heh i seem to be able to cross the Finnish line multiple times without completing the circuit? was that intended?

Developer

thanks!
