Circuit Racers
a quick time event hover-bike racing game

Controls

Make sure you have two controllers connected to your PC.

Left stick: Move up and down
Face Buttons: Preform quick time event actions
"Esc": Quit
"R": Restart

How to Play

Avoid rocks, they push you back.

Periodically, 3 game-pad buttons will appear. Press them in order (left to right) to advance in the race.

Failing to press the buttons pushes you back.

If you fall too far behind you die.

At the top is the race tracker, when it gets to the end of the blue bar the race ends.

Whoever is in front when that happens is the winner.

I don't have a gamepad, but great visuals and beat at the beginning! :slight_smile:

No worries, I know that not many people will have two gamepads to play with. I'm hoping I'll be able to add some AI players later on, as well as supporting up to 4 players.

Fortunatelly I have one Gamepad. It's a nice concept using this key combinations to accelerate. I missed the the AI a bit. Overall nice game!

Well I didn't have someone else with me to play, but I had a gamepad and the gameplay is really cool, smooth and dynamic. I'm sure it can be fun to play it with someone !

Couldn't really play it, but going off the graphics and sound it looks and feels amazing!

Nice work!

Nice music, art and idea. The game play is pretty interesting, but it's unfortunate that you weren't able to add ai or keyboard controls for those who don't have someone to play with, or the extra hardware.

I was able to play with a friend and we both had fun. Solid gameplay. Good job!

loved the art!

My and my son enjoyed this one. This game would make for a good mobile game as well.
Good job.

Took some time for me to figure out on my DualShock controller. This could be a solid game if it had single player mode, or an ability to control one or both players via the keyboard. The music is great!

I only played with a single keyboard, but I can see this being fun with a dual controller setup. I did not really see that the combinations matched the graphics. It would be nice if triggering the correct combinations would prevent you from crashing, while the oposite made you crash. Well done!

@Zinkler I definitely wanted to add AI/two more characters/keyboard controls but unfortunately ran out of time.

Kevar25 Apr 2018, 18:41

I played alone too. But the idea is a good one and the game plays well. Nice work!
