Really nice racing game! Reminded me of "Road Redemption".
Audio and Music were good, but engine sounds were too loud for my liking.
Loved the variety in maps and motos.

Great gameplay, super nostalgic! Impressive amount of detail for a game with this resolution. Congrats on finishing the project!
Really cool game. Retro feel, nice music and sfx. It was a bit hard on the eyes though, some of the details are just too tiny and with all the movement, it gets really muddy.
Superb job! This brought back amazing memories of classic arcade games. That little animation where you have to go back and pick up your motorbike after a crash is such a wonderful detail! Incredible retro vibes all around—fantastic work on this entry!
Love a Road Rash homage and you nailed it very well, it is very satisfying! :D
I think that was the most recent "serious" game that still featured pseudo-3D rendering (correct me on that one if I am wrong), which sometimes resulted in somewhat trippy geometry (buildings seemed to "flow" due to being "rotated" in Galilean metric instead of Euclidean metric (which then makes me wonder if anyone made a game in Minkowski space, but I digress XD)).
Great job, this is really fun to play! :D
Sweet memories activated...
Really like the vibe of this. I'm really bad at such games, but I enjoyed it quite a lot =)
What about having distinct buttons/keys you can punch specifically left & right?
I also like the fact that you were able to do several different locations. So cool!
Awesome game jam entry!
thank you so much! for the attack direction, if there are no enemies nearby, it is the direction the player is leaning. Whenever there are enemies to the side, the attack automatically goes to the nearest of those without needing to steer. I've gone back and forth between several systems here (it gets tricky if you need to punch an opponent while turning the opposite direction), but still unsure if this is the most intuitive for the players.
Really great demake. And the environments are spot on! I really enjoyed riding through Egypt. And the pico8 palette while using Godot is absolutely brilliant. Well scoped and well executed!
Really good music and visuals. Wonderful gameplay, liked the risk/reward aspect of trying to push others out of the road while trying to stay inside it myself.
My only gripe is that it seems to me that the green (ninja) bike is somewhat of a glass cannon, as it does not turn very quickly, therefore, if I wanted to stay on the road I had to stop pressing the gas, making it overall worse than the yellow bike. (lol I'm complaining bc I have bad reflexes and tend to drive on the side of the road :P)
The artwork and sprites in this are fantastic, great job! I particularly liked the animation for running back to the bike after you fall off, that was a really nice touch rather than just respawning.
The sense of speed is great too, the addition of speedlines and obstacles wizzing past works really well and isn't too distracting at such a low resolution. It all feels great to play, especially punching and kicking the other riders and launching them into a tree! :D
The number of mechanics, choices, and overall variety in the game is simply astonishing—it’s really cool!
Very fun game.
I’m still kinda bad at it though since I haven’t been able to unlock any new rides yet haha.
The graphics is really well done.
Gameplay-wise, I found it intuitive to pick up. It’s easy to tell the direction of the road even with the limited resolution. I found the handling a bit frustrating though. Not sure if it’s just because of the starting ride, but I found that the bike not turning a lot more when you slow down is in contrast to many other racing games so I haven’t been able to get used to it yet.
The music is quite fun. I would have liked to have the attacking sounds more heavy and “meaty” to sell the impact better. The sound effects in the menu is also too quiet compared to the music.
For me it’s kinda hard to play it continuously for a long stretch of time though, there’s a lot of fast moving pixels, but very fun game otherwise ☺️
