Ecran titre allumé 1.png

You're one of the many A.I. entities generated by vD.A.I.TEs, short for "Virtual Driving A.I. Testing Environment Software". Your goal is to drive and complete a loop within 50 seconds time frame. The loop will become harder as you progress through Qualification stages.

IMPORTANT: The game begins in TRAINING MODE, where you can experiment with the loop without risking to fail. To progress in the game, press X when you feel confident, which will enable the QUALIFICATION MODE. You'll then be challenged several times on the same loop with a 50 seconds time limit.

Windows and Mac versions currently not available as they don't start / crash.

I really wish someone would mow that race track!

You really got the difficulty just right, great job!

La bande-son est vraiment très bonne ! J'aime beaucoup l'intro au début qui explique ce qu'il faut faire. J'aurai aimé que les graphismes des obstacles et de la voiture soient dans le même style que le reste du jeu. Sinon la maniabilité est bonne et les obstacles frustrants donc on cherche vraiment à les éviter xD Bien joué à vous trois !

Really like the music and the art style. I think the driving could use some more depth; grass almost seemed like the worst obstetrical because of the high acceleration and low top speed. And grass what what was most of in the first level. The loop concept is used, but it is not used for much as it is basically just playing the same map. Even with that in mind I still completed it with a score of 19222. :smile: Overall a fine entry.

The game is as difficult as it should be, but honestly, I'm bad at it! Haha. The sound and the art are good. I liked the visual effect in the background when the car is moving. Great job!

Nice game! Controls are hard but I guess I need to train more :) It reminds me of car games I had on Game Boy
The music is really cool!

I enjoyed the music and the way the difficulty was pitched. Well done!

Some quick improvements might be to allow arrow keys as well as WASD, a bit of a think about how the obstacle progression increases (grass seemed like the worst of the obstacles), and maybe some layout tweaks (for example it seemed like the top of the track didn't get much love). But all told this was nicely put together and enjoyable. :)

Very difficult for me, but that makes it fun/exciting :)

Quite difficult even on medium level. The car could take longer time to slow down - that would make for better turns imo. Overall a great game. :)

Loved the music and the intro. The art was basic but functional. Nice controls for the vehicle. Good work!

A bit hard to learn at first, but that just made it much more satisfying to get the hang of it in the end! The text parts were a bit slow and loud (though I could skip them), but the i really liked the controls and the music. Good job!
