Slower would have been boring, and faster gets a bit too hard to control and has problems because you can't see what's coming.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also some great little touches, such as the brake lights, and the dirt flying out the back when I get moving from a stop.  I was going to say the turrets let me out-range them and gimp them all... but then later in the level the turrets did NOT have that flaw, so I realized it was a progression of difficulty choice.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Well done, I love vehicle combat games but the genre is full of pitfalls, you avoided most of them.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>A few small points of feedback:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- I think skidding is what takes a vehicles &quot;feel&quot; over the top.  Even a tank could reasonably skid on grass.  It might seem hard to implement, and it depends on your logic, but I had some luck implementing skids in the past using a &quot;traction limit&quot; and if the &quot;asked&quot; traction exceeds the limit, you give them the full limit, and then only a percentage of the portion above the limit.  This creates a slide when turning at big speeds that I think adds a ton of fun to any vehicle game.  That's just my opinion, of course.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- I strugged to get through a few tight areas, particularly the final turret on the narrow beach.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- I think battles would have been a bit more dynamic if the map was structure a little differently.  Mostly the walls created an open space, so the battle was inside walls, but no walls were inside the battle.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- Maybe it's less challenging, but I like the idea of near misses in this sort of game with leading and fast targets.  What if my shell would LAND where I clicked (beyond a certain range) and have an explosion with splash damage?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyway, that's a lot of comments, but I wish more people did vehicle combat!"},{"author_name":"ShellfishGames","author_uid":"23164","time":"Dec 20, 2013 @ 11:34am","epoch":1387538940,"text":"A good start. With a bit more polishing, a little faster gameplay (although that's probably a matter of taste) and better sound and visuals it could become a really cool and addictive game.
