lol loved the wizard design
sound track was 🔥
camera was my worst enemy lol. i also played on the downloaded version and had some rough frame stutters for a bit in the beginning
i definitely struggled to actually use the designed mechanics properly, i just couldn't get the feel for drifting (I also prefer racing games w/ arrow keys right handed instead of WASD left) and the bomb powerups started betraying me and blowing up instead of giving me the speed boost? it was a lot of trial and error, emphasis on the error and giving up and going to basically WASD only and avoid all powerups/bombs
even without using speed boosts, it had a good sense of speed! and overall style was great!
This was fun and I think you've got a great aesthetic going here, but it looks like there is a viewport scaling issue because the screen shader and UI was locked up in the upper left corner for me when I played. Here's what it looked like for me when I played:
Oh crap, i completely forgot about it... Sorry for the inconvenience, i'll fix it when the jam is over!
I really like the graphics in your game, gives off PSX/Saturn Era vibes. The gameplay and controls are pretty smooth too!
One of my favorites!
This game is awesome! I love the controls and it feels great but the spin-out drift mechanic is REALLY annoying, especially since literally every other arcade racer doesn't have it.
Really fun once you are familiar with the controls. I would have loved to be able to destroy the icicles in the way!
