Inspired by literally every cool car toy you had in the '90s this game sees you driving a car on a slot car racing circuity where (if you're any good at driving) you are literally "stuck in a loop". The aim of the game is to be stuck in a loop for as long as possible, ideally a complete lap. That's harder than it looks though!
All assets are original, created during the Jam created by our team of 5.
Supported controls include keyboard, mouse, touchscreen and game pad. The game works best with an analogue input (i.e. anything but the keyboard!). For best experience you'll want to race against another human player as the AI is a little too good right now.
Once you click to start playing you need to pick a track with mouse/touchscreen inputs and choose 1 or 2 controllers. - Controllers: press the accelerator button - Keyboards: press "W", "space", "up arrow" which will become your accelerator - Mouse: click the + on the mouse icon - Touchscreen: tap the touch screen controller icon.
Tested and supported browsers include Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari on Windows, Mac, Linux and Android. (Sorry iOS users, we don't have one to test on but it probably works).
There's some limited high-score tracking functionality but this isn't very polished yet.
If you're feeling adventurous there's a track editor available in /editor, but no way to play your tracks yet without editing sourcecode.
Like the concept, its like the old track cars we had at home. To bad the ai was overpowered. Apart from that i feel this could be a really great game subgenre in racing games. Nicely done.
@wormjuice and @trypants we did plan to make the AI more error prone and like a real player, but never quite got around to that one before we ran out of time.
Nice idea but it kind of seemed that once you get just a little bit behind, there's nothing you can do about it. Otherwise it's a good idea for this theme!
Liked the concept and aesthetic. Simple controls are great, but a bit more feedback on your current speed would have been useful. I could see some numbers at the edges of the screen that might have been showing this, but something easier to read out of the corner of your eye, like a car speedometer, would be very useful, so you could get used to the top safe speed for different corners.
This is amazing lol, love the sound effects and the graphics are nice too! Reminded me of playing slot cars with my dad. The AI was way better than me, my fastest lap is 6.4s
