Idling Racer by voxel-box

[raw]
made by voxel-box for LD 41 (JAM)

As of the end of the compo, there is no AI to race against and the collision makes it pretty much unplayable, but for the most part this is a racing / idle game in which you complete races to get money to spend on improving fuel which you play the idle game to get.

On the first screen, the right half of the screen is a level select not a highscore board, although it was meant to function as such.

Idle clicker and racing game. Entertaining once I figured it out, but almost quit before I figured out that you needed to click the race in the menu item. It was fun to mess around with, and the mechanic is pretty well designed. A few criticisms: No sound. It would've been so much better with an idle rumble when the car was moving or slur when you bought gas. I had no idea the race listed in the menu was a button. Oh boy, the turning radius. It should at least be doubled. Also, yes, the collision could be improved. On that note, I was absolutely not expecting it to spin. That's a good feature.

Thanks for the critique @Hello-Coder, I didn't even consider that the race in the menu didn't look like a button. I'll try to fix that along with the collisions in a post-jam update.

I have to agree with @Hello.Coder, the race button looks like a high-score. You might want to add a line in the game description here to hint about that. And the turn radius is frustratingly large, a lot of stopping and backing up to go around corners.
Nice addition with the minimap!
And I got to say, just the thought of having to click a bunch to get gas while driving in a race is pretty fun :)
