How does your game fit the theme?
As long as you can beat your ghost you can keep on racing on the looping track!

Everything was made by myself for this Game Jam specifically, except for the music (made by HiLau)

Neat idea! Well done!
Thank you! Happy you liked it :)
cool game! i found it a bit hard to stay on the track at times, and i think the ghost system incentivizes you to do poorly on your first rounds. maybe there could be a minimum time to beat before your ghost appears? either way, good job on completeing this by yourself!
Thanks! The controls take some practice, yes.
Haha I don't think it's a good idea to limit people to play like that. If they want to hold back in the first round, that should go for it. You're only competing with yourself :P
this track is a banger, nice job bro, the game is very fun
Thanks a lot! Credits to HiLau for the track :D
I really liked, but (for the future) I change for 3 ou 4 laps. Its kinda frustrating have only one chance to beat my time. =) Nice game!
Happy to hear that! Yes my initial idea was to add a lives system, just didn't get to it unfortunately. Thanks for playing and for the input!
The music carries the experience for me, what's your connection with the artist?
Yes it adds so much!
No connection really, just got lucky finding this track as a free-to-use asset for non-commercial projects and with attribution.
Thanks for playing!
That is lucky! I went for a similar vibe writing our soundtrack, so if you like what you hear hit me up next time!
Looks and feels good, I'm a sucker for racing in space. Good job!
Thanks!
Haha yeah I can tell from your game :D Gave it a quick look and it was fun! I'm jealous of your jump feature, I should have added that too xD Nice work, but I'll come back to it later and leave a rating and proper comment on your page :)
i really like this!! the variety in the levels and racing yourself is really fun. this red dude ahead of me does NOT know how to drive
Haha, this made me chuckle :D
Awesome that you liked the game! Thanks for playing and the laugh ;)
Interesting! Controls take some getting used to, as other people have said. I also feel like the camera angle doesn't quite allow me to see what's coming up next at times, and together with how wide my turns felt even when I was drifting, the speed boosts almost felt more like a trap than something I would want to get whenever I could. I also had one weird procedurally generated track where there was a very short, sharp ramp right before the finish line, lol. The aesthetic's pretty good, and the music works pretty well!
Overall, not bad!
Yeah, I hear you about the boosters. There are definitely times where I actively avoid them instead of aim for them. Definitely something that will be tweaked if I ever make a full release.
Haha, the little ramp at the end happens sometimes. It was surprisingly tricky to get those to align, weirdly enough.
Thanks for playing and the feedback! Really happy that you enjoyed the game :)
I like the art and the music fits aesthetic really well ! Tron vibes
Thanks a lot! Happy that you like it :)
Great style! Love the feeling of the track flowing with you, and the particles on the drift. Like another commenter, I also enjoyed the medium a little more than the large. But I do agree the large is necessary to get the hang of the driving style, so good call imo.
Would love to hear your thoughts on my project! :)
Thanks a lot! And thanks for sticking with the controls to get to the good place :D
I want to play all the commenters their games, so I'll get to yours eventually as well. Thanks for the feedback and for playing!
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
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!
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
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
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 !
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!
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.
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
Haha thanks a lot!
Oh I wish I could make a game like that xD thanks for the compliment and for playing!
The soundtrack fits the visuals well, and the controls feel smooth. Nicely done!
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!
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!
