Great game! There are so many great little details here. I love the mechanic of the walls to brake, along with the scraping sound. :) The camera moving out when the speed picks up makes it feel so much faster. It's super hard, but the generous checkpoints help a ton. Great art and music too!
Fun twist on the traditional racer controls. The unwieldiness somehow makes it fun. However, the control scheme doesn't favor quick reflexes, and with the continuous acceleration of the vehicle, eventually you'll fall into a pit, regardless of the reflexes.
Definitely a fun little racer, as others have said. Iron out the bugs, and tighten up the controls a bit, and you've got a good game. My biggest suggestion would be maybe add some hint as to which way the track is going to go? You can see so little of it that it's really easy to fall off.
really fun! The Tech Riders all had interesting designs and it was nice to have an unlockable for completing it. I agree with the others that if you fix a few bugs, and maybe add some kind of way to race with others this would be even better.
Quite simple, loved the music, but the levels are lacking more orientation, there was a part in sea drive that I couldn't evade the "speed power up" and it lead me right into my death. The only thing now for you to work is in the level design and the multiplayer, 'cause I bet that this will be awesome in multiplayer! Keep up with the good work!
I loved the menu music and finally playing something fzero like here, but it all ended in frustration D:
Here are the problems:
No rail parts in a track and drop-offs are usually one of the toughest features to introduce in such a game, you outright started with that.
Not being able to skip/hop over those no rail corner drops was very frustrating. Either doing that automatically or adding a hold left+right short hop would have helped the game a lot.
The second track suddenly introduced full turns after I thought this would only go straight (and wondered why you made the vehicle turn rather than move sideways).
I thought the green arrows on the ground would redirect me - having an interactive effect much like boost pads. As a simple decoration to notify me of a corner they were all placed too late (I need to know about the corner before it's coming, not when I'm already falling off behind it - you did get it right on the third track).
Cool concept, it's nice to have a top down f zero like, it needs a bit of difficulty balance i think, its kinda hard to see what's coming up front, and the track design can be confusing even with the arrows, the game has some strong points however, like the scaling effect when you fall off, the graphics are nice, and the music is cool, good job nonetheless :)
Very nice - a bit difficult to stay on the track since there is no way to know where the track will go up ahead. Camera further away or mini map would probably solve it.
Interesting game, but there were a few things that I had trouble with. The ships were a bit hard to control, and it was kind of easy to fall off the edge. You should work on this some more, and it'll be really good! :)
