Where can I get the windows version? I don't see a link on itch.io.

@listonos It's up now. You are fast my dude! ;)

Fun little game.

The only thing that bothers me a bit is that if you hold forward when jumping you rotate forward, which is really annoying when using boost.

Besides that point, it was very enjoyable.

The car is way too responsive when turning at high speed making it really hard to maneuver and gravity, or lack of thereof, behaves weird IMO. On the other it's very pretty and cool pump up soundtrack.

Holy crap fuck level 3 FUCK IT I'M DONE

I liked it! As others say, sometimes the controls are a bit clunky (I'm playing with a trackpad which makes the turbo/brake controls use even harder), but it's nice and enjoyable.

Kudos to the music and the cell shading :D

Any Absolute Drift influence here? The visuals are eyepopping and put together so well. TBH, I was really scared to go fast so I just kinda crawled my way forward a lot and didn't use boost and such unless I absolutely had to. I think the game in general feels great to play but I wish I wasn't punished so hard for wanting to fly around fast. Maybe some more room for error? Either way, I have to reiterate that this is one of the best looking games I've seen so far this LD.

@krammetje I know, the same thing is bothering me since the begining. But I haven't found a way around it... Even Rocket League works like my game.

@listonos Yeah, freaking car games are a nightmare to balance, even more so when they are flying around at 300km/h XD. Thanks for the feedback though :)

@elHombreBanana Thanks

@peachtreeoath Not really since I haven't got a chance to play it but it definately has simillarities. How would you solve the punishing feeling? Adding intermediate checkpoints? And thanks for the praise, you are too kind ;)

I really liked playing this game, it totally reminded me of Rocket League, although the controls are a little bit tricky, not everyone would be able to play it properly. I feel like you could polish it into a very fun game, my props :)

Gameplay was smooth (but not perfect) and overall great experience. It really felt like race + skateboard simulator to me. Well made.

I liked this game but the controls are way to sensitive and even the lightest press of a button drives the car off of the track. If the controls got fixed this would be a good game.

Nice design and graphics, but car controls took me a long time to get used to, because of turn sensitivity

A very nice game !!

@Iluvatar @Bpanev12 @Killnaprimer Hi guys, thanks for the feedback. You are completely right. With so much development time I didn't even know what was good or bad anymore. Now, a couple days later I can finally see how bad it actually was... Thats why I adjusted some car and wheel variables and now the game is muuuuch better.

If you feeling like giving the game a second chance you can find the new version in itch.io :D

This is a pretty sick game! I had fun but couldn't get past I think the third level?

ALSO checking the last comment, keep in mind that tweaks made outside of the competition are NOT allowed. If you want to make changes, do it as a separate upload and clearly mark it as a post-compo version, and keep the main links to the original jam version

In the version I played, the controls for turning were pretty delayed, which made it quite hard to play. Also I played on a mac so I can confirm it works pretty well there

I knew my years of Rocket League training would pay off. :)
Very nice game, the controls felt relatively good, and I am sure with more levels to practice with would become masterable. :D

This is really fun! Felt very inspired from TrackMania.
Difficulty curve is quite savage, but fun overall!

Short but fun. Reminds me a lot of Rocket League and Jet Car Stunts. I think my Rocket League skills definitely helped me out because I managed to finish the game! I think a checkpoint somewhere in level 3 might have been a good idea, though.

The handling took a little bit to get used to, but it wasn't too bad once I figured it out. The braking seemed a little weird, especially while turning. I ended up using the "reverse" button instead of "brake".

I liked the bright, super-saturated art style. The chromatic aberration effect while boosting was good too, but it would have been even better if the car's model had an actual jet booster on it.

I didn't really like the music, it felt a little too stereotypical. The mixing of the music also seemed a little off, but it's hard to describe what was wrong with it. A more experienced sound person could probably explain it better.

In the end, I had fun with it, and would love to see it expanded upon.

A well executed concept whith nice difficulty curve, had a blast playing it. It also reminds me Rocket League, which is great, it think there is some potential for platforming driving game if you wand to keep working on it. Congrats !

@Pietro Ferrantelli Thank you very much for the kind words! And by the way I love your work, you are amazing!

It's really fun! The stuff you did to the car physics is great, like how it locks to the platform beneath it. I'd love to see more levels added post-jam.

Great job!

Hey this is a pretty nice game! Controls are a bit hard but I would love to see more of this platforming racing mix. :) Good job!
