Blue Idiot by markengley

made by markengley for LD25 (JAM)
You are the red guy. You are cleverer, stronger, richer, and a snappier dresser than the blue guy... but you will still probably lose this race.

Bit twitchy, but quite finely balanced - took me several attempts to beat him :) Could use more contrast on the obstructions though, it's a bit hard to see them. Nice job!

Felt like a boss winning that game. Sure, it's got some issues, but still. I was invested. =)

I won! Eventually.

Giving up is a form of winning, right?
It was enfuriatingly difficult and weirdly addictive. When I finally won I was literally on the line with him. Good job!

I think the gameplay would benefit from having some kind of tile-based movement versus freeform. (EX. hitting 'left' would move you one tile to the left instead of just adding a force in that direction).
