Exploration Timed Race by Divy

[raw]
made by Divy for LD 41 (JAM)

Basically you have to find an object within the time limit. It mixes exploration and racing. It's quite basic, but I am really proud of it.

This is my first time participating in the Ludum Dare. I really enjoyed it and I look forward to Ludum Dare 42.

Your link is broken ('We're sorry. You can't access this item because it is in violation of our Terms of Service' according to google), be sure to fix it and put it back up so others can play and rate your game!

Haha I hate to say it, but it's still giving the same error. You could maybe try uploading it to itch.io or gamejolt and see if that works? Google for some reason seems to keep flagging it.

Yup, same issue. What did you make your game with?

That's strange, can't imagine what Google might find fishy about your build then. But as @Autumnotopia suggested, try uploading to itch.io

I changed the link to a dropbox link. I hope it works now.

Yes, it works. Well then, congrats on your first LD!

In terms of feedback, it is as you say quite basic, but what mostly made it a bit confusing to me was for one, that the compass didn't have a clear indicator which end is the pointer, and secondly, the camera. I don't know if I missed anything there, but not being able to turn it was a bit of a hindrance, especially since the object was always to the direction I couldn't look in, so I would come up against mountain walls that the camera then went behind, making the terrain I wanted to climb invisible. The ball rotating on collision with the terrain also messed with the controls quite a bit. Oh, and having the time count down instead of up might make the time limit clearer.

But these are simple fixes. Still, well done on finishing your first jam!

This does not look like a completed game, but I am glad you are enjoing the making process. Good luck and great time next LD.

@Emmitt It is completed. I have no more ideas for what to add.

Good job on getting something uploaded and playable! That really is one of the hardest parts. The concept is interesting, but I can't tell what of the controls was intentional or unintentional (As another commenter said, the ball rotating messes with the controls). Overall, I was not able to successfully find the object, but I appreciate that the game did have a definite end instead of going on and on forever!
