A really fun game but the camera angles and lack of instructions made my time in the game a little more difficult.

I really love the way the boards get smashed up and how colorful the world is though, and as a fellow Unreal Dev, I tip my hat to you

Hi SlyBalto!

Finally found a moment to drop you my feedback here.

So basically this game was a really enjoyable fusion of Burnout, F-Zero, and Mario Kart! Bringing to the table most of the elements that made those games fun. I'm really looking forward to more content as you further expand the game.

I know we spoke about colors (for colorblindness) and music on stream but I figure I'd share them here as well since this is generally what I bring to the table best

Color:

• The abilities/pickups need symbols that correspond with what is being picked up instead of just colors cause well... half the time I had no idea what I had xD
• I mentioned adding an opaque or translucence to the barriers/walls with the arrows as they were a little difficult to see floating with the background.
• Also, mentioned to focus on anything you think is important to gameplay as all the background details did not really disrupt my experience.

Some helpful links and goals regarding accessibility:

• Explanation of types of colorblindness. I especially like to point out the images with the sand where you can switch the colorblindness types. https://www.colourblindawareness.org/colour-blindness/types-of-colour-blindness/ (I personally suffer from both Deuteranopia 80% and Protanopia 40% and those sand image colors look almost exactly the same to me)
• This website is devoted to all kinds of accessibility topics but here's the colorblind article https://caniplaythat.com/2020/01/29/color-blindness-accessibility-guide/
• Lastly a list of games featuring color accessibility options in case you want to check out how they tackled it.https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_games_that_support_color_blind_mode

Music:

• Throw something in there temporarily, you can always change it but find something to add to the fun and excitement!

UI/UX:

• Loved that I could see everything well on my ultra wide
• Request an option to have the speedometer and meters in the center like in a car as it was difficult to stay on track while trying to peek off to the bottom corners.

Other things I'd suggest for updates:

• My needs above are definitely outliers and won't affect a huge majority so get to them when and if you can.
• I'd focus on adding more stages and content first before you worry about the above to help attract more players. I'll be around for you to reach out to though when you are tackling the above.

That's about it I think? I'm looking forward to crashing and smashing more so keep me posted!

Thank you for your time and creating such a fun game for everyone to play!

Regards,

Hello! Welcome to Feedback Quest 8! My name's Hythrain, a co-host and one of the streamers for this event! This feedback is being written live as I stream your game! If you're interested in seeing my live reaction, let me know and I can send you a link to the VOD once it's posted to YouTube!

But you knew all of this, didn't you? :D

It's great to see this return from last year! I remember this being one of my favs from then, due to just how fun it was to crash around. I'll admit I didn't spend long playing it, mostly because I still had a good sense for how the game played and how fun it was. The build-up of the city around the course did wonders for being able to navigate the track, even without the minimap to help out. The addition of items was fun as well, bringing it more in line with racer games like Mario Kart. In terms of its gameplay, it's honestly really solid now. It may be around the time to start trying for more courses.

The things I felt I should speak on were the ability to distinguish items, the area size for certain items and the "class" options you have when choosing. While colours CAN work for distinguishing items, it's something you can really only understand by playing the game a lot. This is in contrast to other racing games with these sorts of things, where you're given an image to indicate what item you have. These images can often help give an idea of what that item does. Even if you can't figure it out from the item image itself, the moment you use it your brain then associates that image with the effect. One item's use can even allow you to figure out the use of other items. For example, once you use a green shell in Mario Kart and see what it does, you're able to figure out what the red shell does as well as the triple shell variants. It also gives an idea of the blue shell. Similarly, a single mushroom item indicates what the triple mushroom and super mushroom items do. In regards to item size, I found that the patches left by the electric item can be too big. There are points where if an electric field is placed, you cannot avoid it no matter what. I'm not sure how the item works, mind you, as I never obtained one myself (a consequence of being in first most of the time, I imagine), but if it's something where it's player aimed then I would recommend making the area size for them be a lot smaller.  Lastly, I'm not entirely sure what the classes do. This could just be something that's not programmed in yet, but if it is then I would recommend putting something in to tell players what each class does. That way, when a player tries a class they have an idea in mind of what it does and can test it out in that way.

Also, I agree with Mayshing about the need for music now. Something that can get the player pumped.

That's all from me! I can't wait to see more! <3

Hello Mayshing here. Welcome back to FBQ. We really enjoyed this game, the crash is epic, losing never felt so good. lol The wishlist would be to have some upbeat scifi BGM, and more character customization, more stage variation, more item appearance variations would be icing on the cake. We did get to test out multiplayer between me and kiddo for your review as well. I like the Road rage idea. Very fun. 

I have some stock BGM suggestions like Tim Beek royalty free scifi pack that might fit this title. Keep up the great work.
