List any content that was created before the jam.
N/A, All assets, code/bps, sound effects, and music were made and done during the jam. However, maps use the editor skysphere, not sure where that falls.

Gameplay Instructions
Open game, select a hover racer with a and d, press space to select courses, or read the tutorial. W/S to scroll options and tracks. WASD movement on the drifter, go on the sound of your engines starting.

Orange pads give abilities, and blue pads give boost.

You can view behind you by pressing v. Spacebar acts as an emergency brake. D will slow you down and eventually go into reverse, or can reverse instantly after an emergency brake.

If you find yourself in the air and falling, use A and D to stabilize the drifter.

Which Engine version did you use to create your entry?
5.6.1

What platform is your game built for?

Windows

Which Theme did you created your game based on?
Here We Go Again! I focused on the main theme with a hover physics racing game with laps and combat, also taking the music a bit back in time!

Also, personally related to the Here We Go Again theme, the first game I ever wanted to make as a solo developer 5 years ago was a VR Hover Racing game with similar mechanics. I am actually glad I got to revisit the concept to some meaningful degree here, given I have wanted to participate in the mega jam for around the same time, but have never had time.

It’s good for a game jam, but it could use more polish.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! The new non jam version I have been working on has more polish, better ai, more abilities, better tracks, multiplayer, more hover vehicles, and speed increases across the board ✌️ I will be posting a link to it here when it's avaliable!

Nice game!  I liked the visuals and art style! It reminds me of F-Zero mixed with Super Mario Kart elements! Great job!

Developer

Tyty, I really just wanted to make a classic feeling racer with the fun twist of the hover physics; felt inspired by the old school racing games too like Wipeout.

Very nice ship designs and special effects. Kudos for creating multiple tracks and AI opponents. I love the little detail that you went through the trouble to animate left and right rudders on the ships, now this is podracing! 

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you! I was waiting for someone to mention Pod Racing, especially with the Vortex 😎 In the full release version, ai and speeds are improved along with visuals and abilities + bug fixes! Will be releasing it after the judging block and the page unlocks!
