This seems more like the base for a game to be built on, the track is interesting but the vehicle is difficult to control, and the camera controller is very awkward. Also, I couldn't really see where the theme is incorporated into the game. However, if you polished up the vehicle controller and the camera, I think it would be significantly more fun to play. Maybe also add in multiple laps around the track, or multiple areas.
Interesting take on the deeper and deeper theme! One thing is I didn't really feel any boost from the nitro boost. Maybe if FOV zoomed out, it would give the car a sense of forward thrust.
The smoke when you turn is a nice touch. Like the other user said, it is hard to control, but don't worry I think that works to its advantage. Great job. It was a fun little trek. It would have been cool to have a timer to see how long it took.
Oh God! The game is so ugly! It's fckn my eyes, man! But it's funny. And I like it. Oh, and by the way I fell into the cave at the very beginning right to the finish line.
Absolutely bizarre, in a.. good way, I think. The fact that the track was never just flat was a nice twist (no pun intended), made a fairly basic concept more entertaining.
I think the cars need some more speed/strength given the very twisty course. I picked the blue truck first which was a mistake lol. The other point is definitely the camera. Moving cameras can be tough to implement, but I think just zooming out a bit would have given a better view... some of the steep angles you can essentially not see where you're going :-) I tried again with the red car. Nice and shiny!!
Well... I am not going to doubt the amount of work you definitely put in that game, but still, its a mess. I don't really get how it fits into theme (maybe riding deeper into that cave?), and I have found music to be kinda annoying, however I have found car models funny, and it seems like you had fun creating them.
Congratulations on your game, it is a very big bet to bring physics games to a jam, as it is something impossible to control and the chance of bugs is 99.99%, it was a very cool experience, I believe that if it were a professional game I would not have the beauty of a Jam, but remember to try to evolve and study to always present better results, a big hug, if you can give your feedback regarding my game I will be grateful.
I would appreciate if there were some way to control the camera so I could anticipate the obstacles ahead of me. Thanks for submitting this game to my stream!
The physics definitely need more work, but I had a lot of fun playing! I appreciate all the details you added to your game like particle effects, animated UI, car options (great job with the car models), and nitrous. I wish there was a timer too!
Here's my attempt to speedrun it haha
ps: sorry about my stream problems the first day, I ended up spending a lot of time playing last night to make up for it :P Hope to see you around, I look forward to seeing your progress!
Very raw, quite broken and clearly unfinished. You don't really have to wait for timer to go off. Collisions don't exist on many models in the game. The camera has low FOV and is too close to the car. Nitro does not speed you up much. Yeah, this game needs more polishing. Good luck with it x)
This game...is really, really rough. I feel like there's a lot of great places the game focuses on: pretty good-looking vehicle models, keeping the vehicle orientation in-line with the course, particle effects that play when the vehicle turns, etc. But I also felt the parts that mattered to me the most, such as the vehicle's traction on the course, actual speed of the car, camera providing necessary information for me to steer properly, and turbo actually having an instantaneous effect speed boost instead of just increasing the acceleration, felt very broken to me. The car were incredibly slow, and I constantly felt like I was driving on ice. The course itself was constantly hostile to my ability to drive. And the camera only shown the top of the hill, but never what's behind it, making it difficult for me to make the right decision on which way to steer.
There's a kernel of a good idea in this game, but it was all so very confusing and nothing seemed to come together to create an enjoyable experience.
The car models are really cool and there is some cool aspect to the idea of barriers blocking off the driver. I don't think the theme is as explicitly obvious since I never really felt like I was going deeper into a cave of the sorts. The music sound was pretty interesting and funky, maybe there could be some exploration of the mechanics from the car using the audio as feedback since I was the most original thing I found from the game. Otherwise congrats on completing a game jam, I hope you had fun with it and keep it up!

Thank you all for the valuable feedback you all had given about my game.
The camera angle needs some work, and it would be nicer if the car had faster speed and tighter handling.
I tried again with the red car. Nice and shiny!!
