Really cool concept! Can’t wait to see how it will evolve with more time. Great job!

Developer(+1)

I'm happy that you liked it! Maybe I'll decide to develop it further into a complete game 👀

Nice to see a project made with a custom engine. Even the thought of making a custom engine scares me lol, putting so much effort when I have to work on other aspects of the game too. So congrats and great job! I would like to hear your opinion on my submission as well :)

Developer

I'm a coding addict, so I couldn't help myself haha, but I wish there were more complete frameworks. That's the reason I decided to not only make my engine but make it opensource as well. Hopefully, in a couple of years, it will be mature enough to help others, too!

Nice demo! I actually wish I had this as a tool when designing the racing track from our game we entered in.

Developer

Hehe, this could be a map builder-like tool indeed! Glad you liked it!

Really cool technical game!

Developer

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

Bending a loop, creative! I want to put this mechanism in the next level design of my project.

Developer

Indeed! A curve changing route/shape in your game would be a cool mechanic!

On my computer it seems like much of the game is cut off from the window, as if it was rendering much too large for the window it is in. I suspect this has to do with me running it on a 4K monitor. Renders it unplayable unfortunately.

Developer

Sorry for that. The game wasn't properly setup for different resolutions and I couldn't fix it on time for the deadline.

Developer

I just validated: it only renders properly at a 1920x1080 resolution. In my case, I use a 4k monitor 3840x2160, but with 200% screen scaling, resulting in virtually 1920x1080. So the game currently only works on 4k resolution with 200% scaling or FullHD with 100% scaling.

Really cool idea I like it, good job!

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

Oh wow this is so creative and genuinely so fun! I shall come back to it to attempt Platinum

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I couldn't make many levels in time, but then I added Platinum for some challenge :) Glad you liked it!

its one of interesting games that I have played during this jam. nice job

Developer

Thank you! I'm happy that you enjoyed it!

What a cool take on the theme! I get to design my own racing track in such a creative way! Loved the retro art style as well! Very well done!

Developer

Thanks for the review! ❤️ I'm glad that you enjoyed it!

This game blends racing and puzzles in a super creative way. It’s intuitive, fresh, and really fun to play :)

Whether you're a puzzle fan or a racing enthusiast, this game offers something unique.

Developer

Thank you soo much for the kind review ❤️

Really good! Really clean concept and nice controls. I sadly never managed to get Platinum.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback ❤️ hope you liked the challenge!

cool creative concept! Herman Tilke eat your heart out!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words! ❤️

Very interesting and creative idea. Trying to get the Platinum is difficult if you don't know how the exact system works, but it really does make you need to think and experiment with different points placement. The fact that you develop this game alone in MonoGame is amazing (Unity pleb like me have hard time developing in frameworks). The artwork is also amazing as well, minimalistic, but a good choice for the game.
The performance does tanks on level 3. Overall amazing game!

Developer

Thank you very much for the feedback! I'm glad that you felt challenged! ❤️

About the game engine, I'm creating MonoDreams on top of MonoGame, exactly to make it easier to use a code-first engine. Hopefully, in a couple of years, it will be much faster to get started with MonoGame using MonoDreams.

There is a memory leak in the game I hadn't noticed until the deadline was over, but you can always close and restart the game :P

Creative concept!! Best score I got on level 00 was 384. I did have a Windowing issue with the game where it was wayyy too large for my monitor and I couldn't change the size of it.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! ❤️

About screen size, indeed, the game works with a fixed 1920x1080 size. It was bothering me but I didn't had the time to make it compatible with monitors with smaller resolutions. Sorry about that!

A clever way to turn designing tracks into a puzzle!

Developer

Thank you! I felt inspired by Mini Metro and Mini Motorways 🚇🛣️

Super cool! Performance seemed to really get bad after some time. 

Developer

Oh, wow! Thank you very much for the feedback ❤️ means a lot to me!

Didn't know about the performance degrading. Clearly I haven't game tested it for long enough 😳 

Developer

What if I could make Mini Metro but about racing tracks? That's the idea behind this prototype! Hope you like it :)
