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 !

Hey dude! It's actually a pretty nice game, moreover if you know it has been done in 24 hours...pretty impressive!

The time-scoring stuff is making the job, and you really want to start again and again until you check all the races with the Author Medal.

Again nice job, with pretty victor graphics ;)

Very hard game, but that makes it extremely fun. Love the idea of drifting for this theme. Well done.
