I can see being really interesting if you make some uneven levels where changing wheel size matters. Going back from long car to regular or short often made my car flip in the air like crazy ( which was pretty funny but a bit hard to manage)."},{"author_name":"masterkrepta","author_uid":"57229","time":"Apr 26, 2016 @ 10:44pm","epoch":1461710340,"text":"The controls are a lot of fun to play with... hard to control... but that's a good thing for a game like this.. the graphics really fit the goofy theme as well."},{"author_name":"JonathanG","author_uid":"11515","time":"Apr 30, 2016 @ 4:45pm","epoch":1462034400,"text":"Nice concept of a shifting car, though I found it incredibly difficult to control.\rI think I spun and lost my bearings at some point and didn't know if I was going the right direction, and quit after a couple of minutes.\rMaybe with a more clear objective (such as an arrow pointing the way, or AI cars to race against) it would be more exciting."},{"author_name":"Lee1121","author_uid":"36050","time":"May 6, 2016 @ 12:20pm","epoch":1462536900,"text":"You've made a fun racing game! :)\r\rI've got a suggestion though, which I personally find important: make thin be to the right and longer up.\rMy reason being, that my thumb got pretty tired, because I mostly used that. ;)\r\rI also found a bug that might cause problems: when you're drifting and thin and quickly change to think (because you're losing control), the wheel catches the floor and makes the car jump up in the air.\r\rYou might also want to introduce in-air control. This is because of the low gravity and waiting to be eventually be back on my wheels is not as interesting as having control of it.\r\rI hope you continue to work on this game, since it's quite fun :D"},{"author_name":"Brightstar","author_uid":"46680","time":"May 7, 2016 @ 1:00am","epoch":1462582500,"text":"Customizing your character while you're playing is a pretty cool game mechanic. This is the beginning of a cool game.

The hills rolling past was quite relaxing.\rHandling was sometimes a little weird, the car flipping over caused it to roll diagonally a few times, but it's not impossible to get the right way up again.\rThings that would really add to this a lot would be music and AIs\/online multiplayer. This way you'd have competition and more atmosphere."}],"images":["ld35\/15497-517292bf0e7862be0f954f2db482956d.jpg","ld35\/15497-09ecd6d915606858cbbc7e0f035b9a50.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/gamejolt.com\/games\/jelly-and-chrome\/141654","text":"Post Compo"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/pwez2s72krr75k5\/JellyAndChrome.zip?dl=0","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/aeccspsxc3remjk\/JellyAndChromeSource.zip?dl=0","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"2143","g_author":"15497","g_event":"LD35","g_eventkey":"33","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"2202","g_title":"Jelly and Chrome","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"360","g_commentcount":"13","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/15497-shot0-1461117333.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/15497-shot1-1460941744.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Race through the desert on a screamin' hot rod with a special power. This speed demon can shrink and stretch at will to always get the best performance.\r\n\r\nUse the right stick stretch and shrink the car. Making it thinner reduces drag, but makes it easy to tip over. Thicker increases drag but makes the car way more stable, good for getting out of a spin. Making it longer means there is more engine to go faster! Shorter lets you turn faster but is mostly useless. You can also press the face buttons to make the wheels expand for more traction!\r\nThe right trigger controls the gas and the left trigger controls the brake, not that you need it, you can also handbrake with the left bumper.\r\n\r\nUnfortunately right now this game is playable single player on windows with an xbox controller or equivalent. Added local multiplayer and leaderboard support post compo, linux and mac builds are coming very soon. Gamejolts servers seem to be having trouble so leaderboard support may not work for a while.","title":"Jelly and Chrome"}
