However I think the game is way too easy, and the vehicles are really too slow to really make the game fun and challenging. The theme is not really used too, if you set the circuit in a bedroom, it would have been fun to use elements of the room as part of the circuit for example.
The AI opponents are fairly stable, if really slow. (though that seems to be mostly from taking turns as wide as possible). Had a bit of fun watching them go, then I accidentally went past them, and then one of them was gone. Probably fell off the track, and didn't really restart until I turned around to check on them.
The normal checking for staying level with the ground could use a little more work, it's a bit wobbly when passing over the seams along the track. Otherwise everything runs really smoothly.
Fairly simple design graphically, but it still looks great. The hovercars in particular. Sound design is really good. Had fun playing.
Good job!
I expected more.. Speed? Maybe action. But for 72h is a great product!
Well done!
I think it would be nice if the ships had a boost that was recharging over time and that also made it more precarious with staying on the track/not flipping around and generally being able to do anything but going straight forward.
On my screen I couldn't really see the UI elements when standing ready to start, so I would suggest having the camera be more distant when the ship isn't moving and closer later. Possibly the faster you go. Possibly also changing field of view with speed and/or acceleration.
The ride was also more bumpy than I would expect from hovering. Maybe this would solve itself with higher speeds...Else, whatever mechanism that causes the ship to stay on the track should probably not accelerate it that fast towards its optimal position when overshooting it.
Good start on a racing game though!
The graphics and presentation are top notch, but most of the issues other players brought up showed up for me too. I also found that in addition to sticking to walls, you can fall off sideways, which was a bit odd. Very interesting style, though!
:P
