I had a lot of fun playing this game, and can easily see it becoming a game I'd come back to repeatedly. Awesome submission! :D
Thank you much man! I can easily see you make your way up to the leaderboard :) We need some more competitive riders since the current ones are just unbeatable right now :)
Very clean arcade design! The orbital rope mechanic creates a great risk-versus-reward tension while drifting close to the lethal outer wall, and the radar-inspired UI looks great and readable. Overall, I had a really good experience. I personally found it a bit tough to maintain control at times, but when it clicked, it felt very satisfying.
Congrats on the project and on putting together such a polished concept for the jam! Keep polishing this gem!
Thank you so much for the kind words and giving TAUT a chance Rogarca! Glad to see you ride with us!
thats a great idea will follow to see devolpment in the future. At first i thought the steering is not "instant" enough after my third playthrough i adjusted had some fun.
thanks for riding with us :) it's a bit on the "invest some time to get used to" side I totally agree. But it was kinda what we're trying to achieve with the TAUT.
We tried to implement an arcade-ish physics for our riders to decide if they want to deep in or drift out. I totally get what you said with the "steering". Which is basically not there but we'd love to improve the feeling in the future!
Thanks for lovely feedback!
A great and simple game, but it requires concentration. I think I'd improve if there was a way to dodge like small engins on the sides that make you to jump between layers and require time to refuel. Anyway, it's a good game, and I really enjoyed it.
Thank you for the feedback A7med! You're exactly right the game needs concentration since it's a bit on the hardcore side if you wish to get some real high scores. We might change alittle bit of the ingame spawnrates and how they effect the game after the jam. Engines actually doesn't make you jump inbetween the lanes but makes you faster permanently for th e rest of the run.
But obviously it's the only mechanic in the game that makes it harder and harder when you collect it continuously. Maybe we might do some hotfixes to get some different events/pickups on the TAUT.
good game but i suck in this XD
:) It needs some time to get used to the flow, thanks for having a ride with us!
This game is so much fun and addicting, all the component like Design, sfx, music, visual, just like matching together very well, Good Job!
Thank you so much for the kind words vntrydev!
This is SO addicting!
Graphics are simple, but crisp and readable
The concept is very clear and immediately engaging
Would love to see this turned into a full game with upgrades and bosses
Thank you so much for the kind words Kappa Jo!
We'll see where time will take us:)
Really fun creative concept!
Tnak you Marcim!
Very fun game mechanics!
Thank you so much!
Really cool! It will be amazing as a mobile game!
Thank you! We are not quite sure with the mobile version since the current track is circular but, who knows :)
woah super fun game loop :) how you managed to pack so many features in in one week i cannot fathom!
the graphics are so cool, and the integrated leaderboard is a nice touch
Thank you so much giving it a try and riding with us! It was quite intense workload especially in the last 2 days :) We tried a less featured version as the first prototype with only Coolants, Fuel, Engine, Overhaul and Debris but it was not quite there in manner of characteristics and being easy to learn but hardcore/hard to master side that we wished TAUT to have.
Last 2 days were mainly focused on ingame balances and the implementing of the Fire Ring and the Oil Slick to make but we got some feedbacks from the Hall Of Fame players that it was worth it :)
As you do, we love leaderboards in this genre too! Thanks for the lovely feedback and kind words!
Nice game, i love gameplay!
Thank you for giving TAUT a try!
Ah man this game gave me a funny. I absolutely love how it just SNAPS. Very hard to control, good stuff. Nice game.
Thanks man! Nice to hear you enjoyed the ride, or the SNAP i guess :)
Nice concept!
Thank you so much!
Nice game, I was able to get 15253, also nice mechanics.
Thank you for the feedback sanket143!
We assume the game currently sits around easy to learn/hard-to-master side. We had few of the visitors conquering the leaderboard with millions in the bank.
Again, thank you for giving TAUT a chance, you the best!
Cool game! I liked it!
Thanks Relen!
Honestly I enjoyed this game quite a lot. The reel may be unresponsive but somehow that makes it better. A bit hard to get into it, but once you get the hang of it its fun to cruise around. I liked the graphics theme and sound effects too.
Thanks for the feedback and that's really great you had fun playing it.
Regards to the feedback on "the reel being unresponsive", actually that was the whole point of the game :) We tried to create a unique physics for the TAUT that's based on real physics till some point. All on centripetal force with some arcade touches on it.
Thank you so much!
W game mechanics and felt very good playing it!
Thanks a lot! Glad to hear you had fun.
