Looks and sounds great. Good job.

Oh man that was so fun, love the music. The camera could be positioned higher above the car, as it's quite difficult to see what's in front of you and I smashed into quite a few turns.

The idea is pretty simple (chekpoint lap mecanics) but it's pretty weel executed. As Komradus point out, the camera could be higher. Control are a bit weird too (maybe to sensitive) especially when you go in reverse and go back to normal. Nice job overall.

Very fun! The car handling was a bit shaky at times but it was a blast to race around the track.

Completely agreed about the camera, and the car handling could be improved. I'm looking forward to working on this game beyond Ludum Dare and just making a lot of upgrades/features and levels with my teammate.

It's using too much unity3D offical race car game resource,please show us more original game arts made by yourself.

@REIN1 WOW! Do you get paid by the hour to be a hypocrite or does it just come naturally to you? You should ponder your words more carefully and think about your own recent submission before making comments like that.

As REIN1 mentions, there are just too few unique assets. This is mostly a prebuilt sample project with a bit of crude GUI you made and the themed timing mechanic.

@Broxxar No, wrong actually. More work and addons to this project than you're obviously seeing. Although congrats on successfully making yourself look just as bad as REIN1. Thanks for your comment, I definitely made sure to rate your game by the way.

You would really go and give someone else negative ratings because you didn't like their comment?

That's a really poor choice. The Ludum Dare community is a great community and it doesn't need negativity like that. Giving someone a bunch of 1 stars certainly because you disagree with them is certainly not in the spirit of the competition.

Shame on you. I hope other people who take the time to play your game recognize your poor attitude and let it affect how they score your submission.

Don't be so immature.

You're a total hypocrite, and how can you expect anything less? You can make negative comments on other people's entries but no one had better do the same to you? You knew exactly what you were doing with your first comment on my entry. Yeah, you're mother raised a hypocrite and an asshole.

I haven't really said anything negative. I originally offered my honest opinion about your game. It bares striking similarities to http://www.unityracingkit.com/.

If I'm mistaken, and you modelled the car yourself and programmed the racing physics than I truly am sorry.

But still, your insults are unwarranted and not in the spirit of Ludum Dare. I try to make informed criticisms on other people submissions (and more often compliments as well), not this ad-hominem insulting you've been throwing about.

I'll be messaging a moderator about your behaviour and blatant disregard for the community.

you're not only a hypocrite, but also a manipulative liar. You go ahead and contact the moderator, I would love to let them know about you.

cjordan, I can see how broxxar is behaving on your entry, but try and ignore him if you can. He clearly has no respect for the community and is obviously not worth your time.

The graphics and concept are all very fine and it's overall a very cool game but the collisions are a bit odd and annoying, when I hit laterally the car spins and gets perpendicular to the barrier which is a bother to put it back on the race.
