nice fun game, took a little bit for me to get used to the controls but once it was really satisfying once i worked it out

Developer

Thanks a lot! Happy to hear you enjoyed it :) Once you can get in a flow it's a pretty nice feeling :D

NEON Trackmania vibes, really well done game, although a large track as a starting choice is not the best option. Enjoyed the medium one way more. Music fits the theme so well too!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing, I'm glad you liked it! 

It was a difficult decision. With friends testing, most of them said the controls were hard, and the largest track is the most forgiving one. Others have the same feedback as you. I guess it depends on how quickly the controls click for you. Nothing stopping you from just enjoying the smaller track size though :D have fun!

I  like music and visual design, but controls are killing me

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Sorry to hear you're struggling with it, they take some getting used to yes. I hope you still had fun though!

Art and music are a good match. Large map felt a bit slow but was nice to get to improve and see it happen going against your ghost

Developer

Thanks!

For sure the big map is more about the floating vibe, but once you get to lap 4 it starts to get more challenging as well :D

Neon art style + synthwave, what a good combo ! I agree with the other comments that it's a big hard to control, but it feels rewarding when you improve lap after lap !

Developer

Thanks for playing, happy you like it!

Yes, the controls take some learning, it's a thin line between too easily or too challenging. Especially for a Game Jam where people usually don't spend a lot of time in the game.

Nice Tron style grphic but a little hard controls. Music fits as well and pleasant to listen to!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! The controls take some getting used to, for sure. I hope you still enjoyed it though!I was happy to find that little gem of music :D

Continuing racing until your ghost beats you is such a fun game loop! I liked the aesthetic of the game too.

Developer

Thanks! Not the most creative take on the theme, but I had fun :)

Thanks for playing!

WOW! THE GAME IS NICE, THE SOUND TRACK WAS LIT!!
if u had a few more days u would have made mario kart itself

Developer

Haha thanks a lot! 

Oh I wish I could make a game like that xD thanks for the compliment and for playing!

Submitted(+1)

The soundtrack fits the visuals well, and the controls feel smooth. Nicely done!

Developer

I got lucky with finding that music for sure! 

Happy you liked it, thanks for playing!

I liked how well-executed the futuristic theme was, everything blended really well together. Also appreciated the the thought given to different play styles. I think a mini map of the track would be a nice addition!

Developer

Thanks a lot! Happy you had fun :)

You're totally right, it would be really great to see where exactly the ghost is on the track. Thanks for the input, and for playing!

Submitted(+1)

I love the aesthetic, remind me of tron. Especially the road is beautiful.
I like the idea to improve again and again. It's a bit like on trackmania where you try to beat your ghost. 
Really good game <3

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks a lot!

Yes not the most novel mechanic, but I had fun making my own take on it and it fit the theme :D

Thanks for playing <3

That dang ghost keeps getting faster!
Awesome game, great flow and music, and the track texture is mesmerizing.

Some constructive criticism thoughts:

  • It'd be awesome to see ALL  your past ghosts so you can see how much you've improved
  • The turning is a liiiittle bit slow for me. It'd be cool to have some kind of upgrade system.
Developer

Haha yes :') that means you're improving though! 

Oh I see what you mean yeah. With a different color to make clear those are not the ones you're racing against. Could be nice yes! 

With more time I would love to add more of a progression system, you're totally right! 

Happy you enjoyed the game and thanks a lot for the constructive feedback <3

not the most creative game, but well executed!

Yeah I really struggled with the theme this year, but still happy you enjoyed it!

I wasn't expecting to see a race game! this is a funny one good job

Developer

Oh really? I'm expecting loads, it's the first thing that people mentioned :D but glad you liked mine! Thanks for playing :)

Rad! Drifting and hitting all of the turns takes some finesse! What a cool nod to Mario Kart time trials

Developer

Glad to hear you liked it! It takes some getting used to yes, but once you get going it flies pretty well :)

Submitted(+1)

Cool game!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it :)

Nice game! The visuals look great but I would've expected the vehicle to be a little more responsive. Steering and drifting feel rather clunky and that's exactly what I'd expect to be the best implemented feature.

Submitted(+1)

Though I'd like to add after getting the hang of the movement a bit it's growing on me. Great game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for playing and giving the controls a shot! They need some getting used to for sure. 

Happy you like it!

Submitted(+1)

The vehicle is way too slow and heavy.

Developer

Well that clearly shows you only played it for 20 seconds, or that you only tried the large track. Every loop you win your speed increases.

Give it another shot. Once you get the hang of it and you can consistently hit the booster pads you'll be flying! :D

Submitted(+1)

Beautiful to look at. Reminds me a lot of trackmania. Maybe couldve been a little more creative.

Developer

Thanks a lot! 

Yes definitely not the most inspired take on the theme xD but had fun making it nonetheless.
