Light Drifter 34 by Thought Reactor
Light Drifter 34
Haphazardly thrown together after many failed ideas this weekend. Light Drifter 34 is a simple but aggravatingly fun car/drifting style game where you steer a perpetually moving craft, avoiding dangers and collecting blue Multiplier Lights to increase your score. Try not to wreck or your score will reset to 0!
Keep an eye out for white Healing Lights and yellow Speed Lights, too!
Made in less than 24 hours in Construct 2, Photoshop CC, FL Studio 12, and some BFXR. Thanks to itch.io for the hosting.

Great game, congrats :)
Things I liked:
- Great graphics and music. They went together like PB&J and lent great mood to the game
- FUN controls. It was fun to pilot the arrow and drift.
Things I didn't like
- The amount of waiting! The restart timer after death was annoying because I wanted to keep driving! Let me get back into the game ASAP. Also level 4 (I think it was 4) started with a long stretch of going straight :(
- Dead ends in the level design. Dead ends are the antithesis of drifting. They stop the game's momentum, and dying to a dead end often felt unfair as they were shrouded in darkness until it was too late.
Overall great entry! I'd have kept playing if there were more levels :)
I would love to play this game on my Vita, highscore, linear gameplay modes and procedural generated endless mode. I enjoyed the challenge, was frustratingly satisfying.
And very fitting music too btw :)
Like others here, I had to restart a few times, and the timer at the beginning become "longer and longer", if you know what I mean...!
But it's a cool entry anyway, well played!
