SUper fun game, very reactive, fast paced, and not so easy.
Like the graphics as well.
WOuld love more levels, and local a multiplayer mode would be so amazing.
Very good submission!
The boat is a Ferrari! nice game!
Was a bit hard to play but I still had lots of fun. I think you can make a lot out of this idea, so keep developing it :)
What a fun racing game. Finished 4th because man, its so tough. Wished I had a minimap. Getting hit by a wave is sooo punishing. I think a little bit less would have sufficed. Anyway, good submission, fun to play!
Fun racing game with a nice shooting mechanic to spice it up. I don't play many racing games but was a bit frustrated that bumping into most objects would cause my boat to turn 180 degrees. Probably a skill issue? Idk hahah
It is very hard to play.
Was it controllers that were hard or something else? And thanks for taking the time to play our game!
I used keyboard. I meant there are a lot of obstacles and everything happen so fast which make it hard to drive
Nice game!
thank you!
Nice work! The steering mechanics felt great, and the shooting vibe reminded me of Death Rally.
You might be interested in a driving/shooting game I made for Brackeys game jam a few months ago: "Nuke N Rally"
Your AI opponents are very well done, I haven't dipped into the navigationagent2d class but after seeing this I think I will!
If I needed to come up with a suggestion, it would be for more tracks, multiplayer, or a leaderboard.
Good entry, great use of the theme!
Thanks! Will definetly give your games a try! The AI is navigationagent2d with AStar for a path, then we take a point at that path and use BOID to get input for forward and rotations!
Thank you!
Awesome AI design! They definitely love chaos haha. Once I got ahead it was a bit easier to predict where obstacles were, but getting there was a fun challenge.
Clever use of theme with the wave shooter, too. I like how I could hit the boats, reminded me of the old Road Rash racing games, which were a lot of fun.
Great job :)
the AI destroyed me but it was still good fun! I liked the wave cannon!
Really challenging boat arcade with good controls. Couldn't beat AI but overall experience was very fun! And these ducks everywhere ... )
A really well thought speed boat race. It is really hard to control, but once you get it, it's really fun to glide around the rocks and (fabulous) giant rubber ducks.
Using the wave gun was also really interesting, getting to use it to displace other boats and move obstacles out of the way at the same time felt extremely satisfying!
Damb, I sucked at this. Everything here works really well, the boat and wave gun feels responsive. It'd be cool if you had more indication of what's coming up because you move so fast. Maybe a mini map or signs that pop up. As is, the current system is fine because the maps one loop. But if you wanted to add a more complicated map youd need that kind of feedback. Nice entry, congrats
Thanks for your feedback! We had a lot of ideas that we did not have time to implement, due to life getting in the way. We are happy that we managed to make a game that works, with responsive controls.
