Then, I came back here to read careful your description, and then, I could play. If you create a quick tutorial explaining how the game works (especially because the game have more than 1 control, to each people playing), you'll offer a much better experience. After this \"learning time\", I had fun playing and trying to keep in place. The  hovercraft mechanics are very fun! :D","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"SuperMsp10","author_uid":"1015136","time":"2017-05-01T21:57:27Z","epoch":1493675847,"modified":1493675847,"text":"Bit awkward playing solo, but I can see this being a lot of fun playing multi.\nThe control are a bit slippery.\nThe music is great, bravo!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Ilseroth","author_uid":"1000328","time":"2017-05-01T22:04:45Z","epoch":1493676285,"modified":1493676285,"text":"Not sure how this is related to the theme, but the graphics are pretty nice and the straight bumper cars work as you'd hope them to. If I had a nit pick it is just that, for a jam game with such a relatively simple base gameplay loop I would have hoped for some more depth (powerups, weapons, different arenas, maybe different game modes). that being said, it's always ballsy to do a multiplayer game for ludum.\n\nThanks for the game <3","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"benbennett","author_uid":"1012467","time":"2017-05-01T22:23:18Z","epoch":1493677398,"modified":1493677398,"text":"I only played this solo so the feedback may not be that helpful because I didn't get to experience how it was meant to be played.
