So here is my entry for LD34, I worked on the "2 button controls" theme. In fact, I started the jam with another idea, but after one day in, I put it aside and start with this one !

Controls :

- Use only right and up arrow key to play !

Special keys :

- M to mute/unmute music

- R to restart a level

- Escape to quit

So Right in the wood is a classic top down racing game, but the main feature is : you can ony accelerate and turn right ! This way, the race becomes harder and a kind of fun. I found this very interesting, so I tried to push as far as I could on the level design (even if I would have done more levels).

List time !

Things I liked doing this game :

- The car physics

- The vector graphics

- Setting author times

- Level design ! (except for level 5, I didn't have more time to make it better)

Things I wish I could add in the game :

- Online and local leaderboard

- More level

- More level mechanics (like jumping across a river)

- Difficulty levels with different cars (I implemented it, but I didn't have the time to create the selection screen ...)

This game was created with :

- GameMaker

- Illustrator and Photoshop

- SFXR

In the end, I really enjoyed create this game, and more than that, playing it and try to beat my own records ! So I hope you will have fun trying it, thanks for reading, and see you next LD !
