All Charged Up! by Izokia

[raw]
made by Izokia for Ludum Dare 50 (JAM)

LD 50 Jam Submission

Code by Izokia, Art by akmalhakim, Music by druven Basic Info: A quick racing game made for the Ludum Dare 50 Game Jam. For the theme "Delay The Inevitable", we thought an RC car looking for charge while trying to achieve good lap times would be a pretty fun submission (which it definitely was)

Please share your scores! I'd love to see them! Let me know if anyone beats my score (currently number 1 with 90756 points)

EDIT: SOMEONE BLEW IT AWAY WITH A 202341 YOOOO!
-EDIT2: I've been completely taken off the top 5. You people are crazy. Well done.

Edit 3: for those wondering how scoring is done: (It is easily cheeseable and can be manipulated)
totalScore = 1000 + ((1 + laps) * (10000 / (fastestLap)) * (1 + totalPickUps) / 5));
If fasted lap = 0 you just get 1000 btw, you cant break anything

Score: 37667. I cannot imagine getting almost triple that! This game was fun. Hard the first time, the second time I felt more on top of it. My first score, not so good :laughing: I did the audio and graphics especially. A very Offroad vibe. Having the car be a RC car really helps my suspension of disbelief, I've always had issues with racing games and their invincible cars.

Woah its a 2D racing game with fun physics. Also love the music. Very snes-esque!

At first I found it a little difficult to control, but I got better over time! :)

I had a lot of fun with it, but I must say the music is A+!

- :small_blue_diamond: **Fun**: definitely!
- :white_small_square: **Innovation**: GeneRally with the coin mechanic from Mario Kart. It's already been done :P
- :white_small_square: **Theme**: Pretty regular take on the theme.
- :small_blue_diamond: **Graphics**: Nice, well integrated graphics with even drifting effects!
- :large_blue_diamond: **Audio**: reminds me a lot of good N64 games!
- :small_orange_diamond: **Humor**: 404 not found
- :small_blue_diamond: **Mood**: everything works well to get you in the mood for a racing game!

Cool idea! I think some thing that the game would benefit from are reversing (I got stuck against some rocks and couldn't move) and something to keep track of your fastest lap time.

Awesome Game! controls felt great and I loved the skid marks I found my self just drifting around for the fun of it!

Really nice, responsive gameplay. Great graphics. Well done!

I really liked how difficult it was to stay on the course/how tricky the controls were, because it meant that you had room to improve on every lap, as you got a handle on the controls! It really added to the addictiveness of the game for me - I wanted to keep trying to improve my lap time, even though I still need to make dinner 😅

I really wish that there was a ghost of my fastest lap, or even just something in the UI showing me my fastest lap, because I really just wanted to keep shaving seconds off my time.

This was a fun little game! The drifting was really fun to pull off, and trying to improve my time was a good challenge.

My score was 101k with a fastest lap of around 17 seconds. Once I fully understood the mechanics and got the controls down, this was a blast to play.Great job!

I got 73950 with 14 laps completed. The skid marks are extremely satisfying to see come out. I also really like the music and art style. At first, I refused to brake, but after accepting that I should brake I did much better. Very fun!

Nice! The car control felt slippery and odd for a while, but I did adjust to it. After getting used to it, definitely fun to control. I enjoy this take on the theme as well. Strong aesthetically, GJ!

Had a good time with this fun little racing game. The lap timer seemed to be stuck on lap 1, but other than that the game worked as intended. Good submission!

@billnotic This may be due to a missed check point. Otherwise, it's a bug we missed. Thanks for playing!

@savolae well done! I can't believe I'm being bested at my own game.

!Man, I suck at this game. I got 37781! I noticed the dynamic skid marks, very cool detail!

Fun, but I am terrible at this! Mostly I was doing figure 8's and donuts. Music is great, reminds me of some KOEI simulation games on SNES.

Not sharing my score because I was terrible! I loved the art and the gameplay was fun. Took me some time to figure out the controls but when I did it was great. Nice work!

Five stars for innovation on the controls. I never played a racing game where the mouse buttons controlled acceleration, reverse, and braking. Great idea!

I think the turning had just enough slip to make it a challenge but wasn't too frustrating. I didn't feel like the car was skidding on ice and every turn was possible.

Music was also pretty catchy. I left the game on while I was doing some laundry and I was rocking out to the song.

My only negative was I missed a checkpoint and wasn't sure how to complete the race. I tried driving back to a checkpoint but nothing happened.

Overall nice work

i realy like the pisics of the car how it slides and stuff but i dont understand the accelereta under lmb if i would want to accelerate with that i would make full mouse controll or add controlls options so if someone else doesn't like it can change it

Racing is something that always attracts attention. I'm not just talking about games because online games are simple and easy fun. Real sports are big risks. That's why so many people follow it - https://melbet.org/ You can use this resource to collect natural information about this type of sport for your next games.
