Super Meru-meru lightroad Deluxe by callmemonamiral

[raw]
made by callmemonamiral for LD30 (JAM)
Many worlds are at war... Nothing could soothe them.
Nothing but go-kart racing!!

Fight for your world in Super Meru-meru Lightroad Deluxe, an awesome party racing game! Play as an alien, a slime, or even a beefy Pikachu!

This game has been made by Cecile Jaubert aka. Zellk (art) and Jerome Bretheau aka. Callmemonamiral (code).
Some sound effects come from Mario Kart 64.
Some musics come from nosoapradio.us, one is from Sonic.

Frequently asked question : What's the relation with "Connected worlds" ?
Each character comes from a different world, which is connected with other worlds through war ... and love for kart racing!
We really wanted to avoid the stereotype "A normal platformer but when you press a key you go in another world with different platforms.", so we chose to put the relation to the theme in the characters and story of the game instead.

*Note : requires controllers to play in multiplayer.

It's now possible to play solo without a controller, and to play in a web browser.

Played with controller: Controlls seemed a little confusing at first, but when you get onto it, it's really fun, and its mood is awesome! I really liked it, but I couldn't find the relation with the ld theme!

Cool game, cool sounds, cool graphics, cool camera system (when it shows you all the map) but I you should clarify how to play it without the controller (when you play single player)

The game is really fun ! Too bad we can't see more characters from different universes.
Good job, though :)

Oh no. It looks awesome, it's the best game I've played so far, really awesome! But... where is the LD theme relation? :( ... Everything except theme 5 stars!

Just played this game with a friend of mine and really enjoyed it! Would love to play with 4 people and more race tracks.

Very interesting racing game. The controls feels a bit iffy at first, but once you get used to it, it's actually pretty fun. Only tried single player, but I'm intrigued by the idea of multiplayer. Will try! Give it a go, for sure.

Very good entry. There is extreme polish that is obvious when you start it up and the game handles tightly once you get used to it. A lot like Mario Kart on the SNES from an overhead view. Good track design as well. The theme is unfortunately not that strong, though. Overall a very good job and awesome art assets.

Funny game. It's like Mario Kart mechanics mixed with Ragnarok (the view of the field and the turn of the characters).

Definitely would've been better if I'd had a controller...and friends. xD Regardless, it was pretty good. A little weird to control, but I think that was due to using the keyboard.

Hm, works well, but it doesn't show me any time, bonus, score or rating during the game. I also think you can not use ripped graphics.

Nice game, though it is hard for some people to play from this perspective xD

I like the way the theme is linked into the story of the game. Neat little racer.

Very cool game.
Some AI oponents would have really helped getting more fun out of this ;)
The graphics look really great and I kind of like the 8-direction-sprites :) I noticed, that it was a little bit unpleasant to look an your kart while moving, becase it had this "jumpy" movement. Smoothing and syncing it with the camera would be nice.
Great entry!
