Take your Repulsor and be ready for the Race! Repulsor is a game made on UE4. Only on Windows
To play, launch the "Launch.bat" file as admin in the game folder. The game is Splitscreen only and can only be played with Gamepads.
-------CONTROLS------ GAMEPADS ONLY Use the left stick to turn and the right/left trigger to accelerate/decelerate. To GROW your speed, press "A" (at your own risk) . -------------------------
We will post a 32 bits version of the game if some people request it.
As a huge fan of Pod Racer for the N64 I felt like this game had a lot of potential going for it. Granted I wasn't expecting that game but it would have been nice to have even a basic scoring mechanic implemented. Sound effects fell flat without the visuals to back it up. noticed some tiling in the textures besides that looked great. Overall this game has a lot of potential but fell flat.
This was a mess to get working. First mega.nz tried to download its own downloader for me, then once I managed to circumvent that, the bat crashed because I had whitespace in my pathname (put quotes around pathnames in the future). Once I fixed that, the bat only opened up cmd and cd'd to the appropriate directory. I was able to start up the file by just navigating to the appropriate spot and opening it, though.
Regarding the game itself: The pod racer itself looks great. It's far beyond what I'd expect from an LD entry, and shows a lot of fine detailing and crafting. Everything else suffered for it, though. The level geometry is messy and hard to follow. The sound effect for hitting things is far too long and plays too often. Half the assets placed in the level don't have their hitboxes set. I couldn't figure out a way to move the second pod, and the game didn't register when I finished a lap. The movement was actually rather smooth, except for the constant crashing into slightly glitchy obstacles.
I think the game would have benefited from a larger open play area with some sand dunes to leap over. Scrap the track design and just give me a desert to play in. No second player, no racing, just a sandbox. The driving mechanics would've really worked well for just jumping off hills at high speed.
The game really doesn't fit into the theme, either. It's just a generic racing game. Sorry :T
@BubuIIC Hi, on what platform would you like us to build it? @hyperscope Basic scoring mechanic was in, but the UI was messed up. On the new update, it’s now display émoticône wink Sorry for the sound design, we didn’t have a guy to do it during the whole jam. He came at the end. I think tilling was lighting messing up, it’s now fix.
@amras0000 New update solves the launching problem. Level design intuitiveness have been improved. The sound design has been supported by fx, it feels better now. All the assets have their hitboxes set properly. The game is gamepad only. To move the second pod, you need a second gamepad. Laps were registering, but UI was messed up.
Impressive art you have here, congrats. But it doesn’t really seem to be related to the theme, so it’s hard to judge it in comparison to the other entries…
