Commit Racer by Luke Nizik

[raw]
made by Luke Nizik for LD32 (JAM)
GO GO GO! And HIT the CUBES!

Controls (use Kinect 2 or gamepad):

Pad/keyboard:
Accelerate - Space/A
Move - WSAD/Left stick

Kinect 2:
Start Game - lasso gesture
Accelerate - move hads forward
Go up/down - move hands up/down
Turn left/right - move left/right hand up and the oposite down (like steering wheel)

Theme approach:
We live in a world of information. We thought that would be the worst thing to loose your personal data.
The player controlls a remote drone that is designed to destroy a data center...
Sorry for the ending, we didn't quite finish it :)

Btw. the game trolls player, because it wants to be funny too!

Slo mo on the cube hits and death was cool. The controls felt a little off. I expected it to have a bit more momentum, and it pitched more than it looked like it was moving. It was fun once I got going, dodging through the obstacles.

Really cool game, I liked the slow-motion effect, but it did start to get old. The end felt really abrupt and confusing, I kept trying to figure out how to get past that big thing at the end of the green section. (If there is a way I couldnt find it, I tried a lot)

How satisfying is it to crash through those blocks? VERY! After getting used to the controls I was able to make it to the end. It said 10/10 but I know I missed some. Very fun!

The effect from smashing the cubes was so rewarding! The biggest annoyance in the game IMO was that the ship was blocking the view but other than that, the game was good, simple fun. :)

whoa, love slowmotion effect.
The lighting effect also makes your graphics looks good too.

Smashing into those blocks was every bit as satisfying as it should have been!

Some feedback: I wish I could have turned faster. It was weird to see such a big difference between the direction I was facing and the direction I was moving.

Also, I was confused by the ending. I didn't know I had reached the end. I thought I had died and had to start over until I tried to go through the crevice really slowly and still died XD

Hey! You made game that I made. I like your feature with destroying cubes. But didn't understand what to do in final. I can only crash by final tower and start over.

My favorite part is the snarky death tips. I wish there was more contrast between the good cubes and the bad death things in the first area when you're learning, like putting a glow around them or something.

Perfect feel, reminded me of lylat wars. Some end condition would've been nice.

The music and the slow motion effect made the game fun. Perhaps a bit easy, but it is okay.

I dont really see how it fits the theme and the game was pretty easy. Maybe if you didnt have the ability to just stop. I loved the controls and the slow motion effect fit in nicely.

graphics are nice (cool demolition effect) and controls feel good but what is the unconventional weapon? Although good game, it has nothing to do with this game jam.

... could be faster too (acceleration I mean).

I like the game, I personally would like to be able to invert the up down controls (on web)
