Had fun playing this collector racer :grin:
Style and sound were cool.
Movement sometimes difficult.
Great work.

The impression of speed is quite cool. So sad that the game is short, because the vibes and "driving" sensations of the game had me hooked. Well done ^^

@thomyrock the pitfalls of spending the whole time trying to add particle effects and adjusting the post, thanks for playing.

This game is literally HARDCORE TO THE MEGA. It's so enjoyable according to its dynamic and tempo. Sometimes it's difficult to play, but you're not getting tired of redoing some things. Visuals and music are brilliant. :3
I wonder if you used some ready assets or made everything by yourself?

@furraran the music is royalty free by TeknoAXE the graphics are mainly just cubes and spheres that glow and the particle effects the same, thank you for playing.

Felt like I was playing a synthwave album cover :thumbsup:
Movement was definitely a bit of a challenge at times.

I'm stuck with some bugs :
- don't see cursor on the main menu
- freeze when go to level two... (I mean, really bbiiiig freeze, stop when all cubes are stucks with me)

Love the vaporwave theme

Love the style. Hate the fact that i cant see the cursor on main menu but all those small things aside , after the credits , its missing a title and also the entire game. You really need to fix it. The intro was fun but what about the game ?

Great game tho. Keep up the good work.

@kostasvs I made the mistake of thinking a harder game was a better game but you are right with more acceleration the game becomes more fun.

@flyingthunder Yeah the menu is kinda bugged for a very stupid reason, also i forgot to add the pause function, maybe i'll continue working on it dunno, thanks for playing.

I liked a lot the art style of your game, I'm really a fan of this retrowave style !

The gameplay is interesting, but it was too hard to control the ball, I think that feeling is due to the fact the controls are too sensitive, and the camera doesn't help in term of visibility. So maybe, with a camera on top view, and controls less sentitive, I think that it will improve your game !

Overall gg for your work !

Impossible to play, but cool retro design. It was so hard, that I could play only like 20 seconds.
Elmeri22 Apr 2020, 20:45
Great mood, even if the game is really hard to play.

I would say that it was extremely fun, rather than extremely short :smile: The gameplay feels super fun, so i think you should make more levels.

I love the 80s theme, the music, the glow in the dark objects, and the sense of speed! Really good!

Cool game but difficulty needs to be adjusted. Good music, nice atmoshpere, well done!
Ulisses24 Apr 2020, 20:11
I played the update version, and dam, that game is beauty! I like the speed sensation.

Good power and speed feeling. Neon graphics are amazing.
Lot of fun ^^.

Nice mood and pretty game. I like the direct gameplay. I would have love to have more levels xD Even pretty simple one, some that allow to enjoy a little longer that speed feeling. = )

I like the dynamic and drive of the game. The graphics is good and retro style is implemented well! Music fits pretty good. I would control the car in this setting and would like to have more levels of this game. Good job and keep going!

The particle effects are pretty great, though I'd go a bit easier on the camera shake. The gameplay isn't that clear at the start, but I guess that's part of the arcade theme.

Nice game with cool esthetic. The feeling of moving an exploding cubes is really satisfying!
However, the "box" shape of the layout isn't great. You have to turn a lot and frequently bounce on walls, which makes us slow down every few seconds and breaks the flow of the game. I think a more classic layout where you just have to go straight ahead (still with some curves, obstacles and the goal of exploding cubes) would have been better. But it's still a good entry for a jam, congrats!

Okay this game is fast, and playing a fast games is pretty fun. The graphics is okay, but the high speed make every thing looking like a weird coloured and very blurred image. The chosen music is great, and fits the game idea very well. Overall is this an okay jam game.

Love the synthwave aesthetic, and this was fun to play. Although short, the level design was really good: the first mini-level introduced the mechanics really well with no text, and the second level was challenging enough to take a few tries (and demand some degree of learning how to use speed/jumping) while always seeming achievable enough to make me want to keep trying.
