The Game With Forced Financial Competitions Featuring Wizards and Demons
> Welcome to The Game of Forced Financial Competitions Featuring the Thrilling Competitions Between a Summoned Demon and Other Participants, Enabling the Wizard to Earn Riches through Sinister Betting Practices.
Please note, this game contains strong language and implied drug use
The Wizard Dodecehedronious has a gambling problem, and to get out of it, he summons you, a demon from the underworld, to aid him in fixing races. With superior reflexes, and a wit beyond that of any mere man, the Wizard is hopeful that your abilities can fix his financial woes.
WASD/Arrow Keys to move.
- The AI for the first track are quick as hell and I don't know why. The splits one the end screen will let you know if you actually beat them or not.
- The music quality sucks, but I lost my Audio Interface and had to record the session live next to a microphone like an amateur.
- Plascity for model making
- Unity 3D
- Gimp
- My brother for his amazing performance as the wizard character.
Final note: I am willing to change my standing from Compo to Jam if the bit about using by brother as an actor violates the "solo" aspect. I did produce the script, cut/edited the raw footage etc, I just wanted to do something fun with his talents. Also, Will upload source code soon.

Other than being a bit too slidey the handling of the car was surprisingly good, I also enjoyed getting berated every lap it reminded me of my wife

Well, that was a wild ride I guess :D Even though the single elements like audio, graphics or gameplay might not be the absolute best, I still think they fit together nicely, making for a coherent piece. I agree that the gameplay is a bit slidey but for me that was fine. What got me more were the wall pieces that stuck out of the wall, making me crash once or twice.

I think that's first time I've played a racing game in a jam, and now I'm wondering why there aren't more racing games.

The intro was hilarious, absolutly loved it! Really the best setup I stumbled upon during this LD. And all those spectators looks awesome. Also liked that you can drive out of the racing track and just drive around the field for a while :)

that video was great, good game.
there are scaling issues in the windowed mode though - at first I didn't even notice the video and end screen text was also misaligned, until I entered fullscreen mode.

Didn't think I'd enjoy getting insulted every lap but there we are. Fun little game, good work!

I like the line for when you beat all 3 laps

Great humour, reminds me of those old arcade racers from back in the day.
Loved the physics and graphics, cool music and fun mood. Thank you!
