How does your game represent "Slick"?
Apart from the slick vibe, the game features defeating opponent npcs by droping oil on the ground making it a slick surface for the opponents to slip on

This concept was fun, and I loved the humor, but the best part might just be the music! Goddamn, those tunes had me SHART CIRCUITing in real life!
Rear view action cam is another highlight, loved seeing my shart destroy my enemies. Good job! :)
Thank you so much for your kind words! :)
I like how the game has that nice arcade feel and difficulty to it. Honestly, if you polish this game up and toss it on the app store, I think you got something solid.
Thank you so much for your kind words!! Yes we were aiming for a little arcadey Driving vibe. From all the feedbacks we've received, we plan on fixing/modifying the game and maybe give it a proper release somewhere 👍
The name 😭, funny idea, nice sounding music and SFX, and the action camera for the oil spills is funny too. The driving doesn't feel that good I think the game might be going for more of an autorunner feel, the breaking doesn't work how you would expect it's more like an ability than a function of driving with the cool down on it. Would be cool to have more direct control over movement but I also understand that isn't quite what the game was going for.
Thank you for taking out time and playing our game!
Yeah, this game jam has been an excellent way of playtesting our game. We have found a clear direction of making our game even fun by just noting down the issue and finding creative solutions for them. Like the braking system will now be tied to oil depletion. As in players can brake as long as they want, but it will depletes oil faster. Same goes to touching border or crashes, players loose oil instead of one-hit-kills.
This is a cool idea and the presentation is very well implemented. It feels similar to a micro-machines/plastic toy kind of racing-combat. And it's hilarious how easily the car explodes.
Oh thank you so much! We have been aiming to Mini Motor Racing X kinda vibe, which is what you noticed aptly!
Yeah we too had a ton of fun building the dismantling car element 😂😊
Love the music! Neat mechanics too!
Thank you so much for playing our game! We truly appreciate it 🙏🏼😇
Fun game! Music and SFX are great! Very Slick game
Thank you so very much for your kind words 🥰
I love the music!!! And the graphics are very slick... love the curves and geometry... cool gameplay!!! Well done!
Your kind words make us wanna work hard and make games fun again!
Thank you very much 😊😇
I love that the children yay sfx glitches out, I laugh everytime ! Nice game, but having 1HP is hard :')
No worries. In post evaluation period, we will make it such that everything including crashing is tied to oil depletion. That way players get penalized for wrong move with reduced oil points instead of dying immediately.
Now players have to be strategic instead of scared everytime car runs in borders.
Thank you kindly for your useful feedback 😇🙏🏼
Game looks good, music is kind of funky, SFX are interesting.
Very challenging game but definitely one of those easy to pickup hard to master sorts of games.
Good use of placing information in the environment rather than just having icons on a HUD, however sometimes these values are obscured or hard to read due to lighting on surfaces (couple times I couldn't see my gas because there was too much light on the top of my car).
Nice use of a rear view action camera in the top right when "slicking" an enemy.
I noticed the enemies get a free pass when running into rocks etc. though, felt unfair haha.
Dying instantly off of one hit especially when you need to do the lap a few times to get all the cars is kind of painful, some sort of 3 hit system where you can be dumb on the first two or build the rhythm then go into a state of fear for the last point might be nice, maybe gain +1 durability on defeating an enemy.
Can see a future for this if there were more actions you could do like using w boost, or double tapping w to raise the car to go over rocks and obstacles.
You asked for it and we will deliver!
In post evaluation period, we will make it such that everything including crashing is tied to oil depletion. That way players get penalized for wrong move with reduced oil points instead of dying immediately.
Also, having a successful crash on enemies will also give players back some amount of oil, so players won't have to rely on random oil barrels
Now players have to be strategic instead of scared everytime car runs in borders.
Thank you for your valuable feedback. It has truly helped us not only make the game better, but also grow our skills as game designers / developers / audio-visual artists 🙏🏼😇
I wished the car would go a bit faster to make this more challenging. Overall I enjoyed the relaxing music and presentation
We tried making car faster, bit faster car meant you'd miss the enemy cars that you're supposed to sabotage, then having to complete one whole lap to meet the missed enemy again 😅
Although, adding a boost button that consumes oil upon use may not be a bad idea! That way you may have a choice of boosting forward if you wanna catch up to an upcoming enemy car!!
That was enlightening! Thank you for an honest feedback. 🙏🏼😇
yeah that’s a clever perspective to introduce some sort of boost instead of making everyone constantly faster.
Good luck if you keep developing it!!
🙏🏼😇
Pretty cool game! I really like the dual use of ticking down oil as a time resource and as a weapon. The farthest I got was 5 cars remaining in the desert level. I do feel like this game has a bit of an identity crisis; the car goes kinda slow which is more suitable for dodging obstacles, but at the same time I want to go fast and oil slick my enemies. I do agree with some of the other commenters that a way of speeding up could help. I’d almost rather have the tracks be a lot shorter and loop more often so you have to deal with your own oil drop misses more.
Very fair comment, and yeah having more time to develop such a game to polish it up more and playtest to see where the fun is and pursue down that road would've been very nice, however thank you so much for trying it out!!!
You think you a smart fella but you a shart slicka :)
This was nice! Very funny, wish i didnt just die in like one hit thats all!
A secret, press “p” in our game lol
Hmm...we should probably tie the car death with oil depletion, as in, everytime you crash you loose some amount of oil instead of dying. That should give you enough time to refill and react!
Thank you for your feedback! I truly appreciate it it 😇
Solid game. Fun and hard. I really like the aesthetic you went for, and it's complemented nicely with the music. Great entry!
Thank you so very kindly for playing our game! We did have a proper plan for diegetic aesthetics in the game, so as to immerse the players fully in the gameplay!
Really cool idea! I think it could a bit more in terms of driving mechanics, I found the racing felt a little slow. Maybe dropping an oil slick could also give you a speed boost? But overall great job!
Thanks for the feedback! The player was originally a little bit faster, but we wanted to adjust it a bit to make the obstacles a little easier to navigate through. Although this does mean the tracks are a little longer to get through (and it may have made the last level unbeatable as we forgot to adjust the ramps to account for the lower speed). But yeah speed boosts would definitely be a great addition to the game, maybe it could also help you take over other cars. Thanks again for the feedback and thanks for playing!
Actually it's not a racing game, but more of a sabotage game. We will make sure to let the tutorials mention that 🙌🏻
Thank you so much for playing our game 😄
Really enjoyed the music, and the camera view to see other cars slide on my oil spills was a great idea!
Thank you so much for playing ☺️
Man, this game is so slick, I love it!
I had to laugh out loud when I dropped oil on my enemy and another camera popped up, showing me how they slipped on it :D
Two things I wished I had: a boost button and a honk button, but since it's a jam, you can't do it all :D
And with that, you did a great job!
Hmm...you know what? Boosting does sound like an interesting addition here! Players could boost in exchange for, say 15 oil points reduction. That sets the perfect balance for risk/reward factor!
Thank you so very kindly for your kind and helpful words! 🙏🏼☺️
