Ludum Dare #49compo
Brake Machine Broke
I'll be real, I totally forgot Ludum Dare was even a thing until about two weeks ago, so this kinda caught me off-guard, but I actually made a thing this time! Maybe should've spent more of the last 48 hours actually working on it, but even if it's not as great as I'd hoped, it's more than I expected. No built-in restart feature, so the cart will need to be reset for each new attempt (pause/press ENTER and select "RESET CART" from the menu).
CONTROLS:
-Press X to start
-Press the Left and Right arrow keys to turn the car left or right
Please note: this game IS kind of difficult, and each run isn't supposed to last very long (after all, if the car could be driven reliably for a length of time, it wouldn't be very unstable, would it?). As such, taking two or three runs is encouraged to get a feel for the track/controls (think of an RC car that can only turn at sharp right angles).
Thank you for playing, and don't hesitate to give honest ratings!

i think the car got too fast too quick after the first lap. maybe a slower ramp up.

I like that the controls are relative to the car direction. But the movement is way too fast for me.

It's very hard and very sparse, but I'm always impressed by these Pico-8 games

Liked the look of the game.

It really is difficult, but a good concept nonetheless with nice simple graphics.

Managed to complete a lap and ZOOM. Its.. not exactly on theme, but it's cleanly done and was entertaining for a while!

The "enter - reset car" at each death is really annoying (but, you can argue that I have to be better and you're right :wink: )
But it's cool ! I was surprised the firsts tries, but controls are okay !

Awesome graphic! I feel the reset for replay is too punishing for the player, but overall congrats for finishing a game!
Love the retro style nevertheless
