Sewer Rat Racer by Robber
**** Sewer Rat Racer ****
"what really goes on, beneath the surface?"
I've spend most of competition time on the characters/level/modeling, GFX came out cool, but my aim was to dive deeper into programming in unity this LD..ahhwell next ludum, or hopefully as a game-update..I'm so happy it is playable and yes..finishable..
the soundtrack is a live recording/jam from me and a friend, for this i used my own live-software build in puredata..it's pretty nice & ghetto, but the track kinda takes off a bit later and time to do any post-editing was up..
hope you like it..
the windows build has some quality settings if it runs too slow in your browsers, my apoligies for heavy cpu-load, 72 hours is so little time, note all graphics/models and code were produced within ludum time, as i orginally wanted to enter the 48hour compo
gfx & code by Rob Bothof
music by Rob Bothof & Twan Bastiaanse
***** UPDATE *****
work on the postcompo game is still in progress! I was hoping to release if before the end of the judging, but there is no real playable version as of yet..
I've spend a lot of time on simulating water and new implementation and polishing of jetski controls and physics, jumping, crashing etc, where the rats are now themselves totally influenced by physics..I'm really happy with the result...next up on the list is the AI and ofcource the level..i'll keep you posted! thanx to everybody for playing and commenting..it's a huge inspiration for continuing work on this game..

would like restart functionality next time and maybe multiple laps (btw you can get back to the beginning if you keep going over the cogs
Funniest game so far.
Sound got on my nerves abit but don't care because of how awesome this is
Jetski rats, hilarious! Quite nice controls but the water felt too rigid. Great use of the theme and nice audio and gfx.
I love how the other rats just hang around and do donuts on the finish line at the end :P
Note: Riding the cogs at the end may be hazardous to your health, but may also be hilarious.
Plus they take you back to start if you can survive.
Based on what I did get to do, I think the actual jet-skiing could stand to be a little bit faster but otherwise this looks like you could really go some nice places with this (given you can figure out how to get the FPS up, of course.) Riding through the dark sewer backdrop on jetskis felt pretty cool.
