Feels like you're driving through treacle, but that might be intentional? Little hard to remember controls to begin with, too. Otherwise great! Particularly impressed with the leaderboard feature.
But many weird collision behaviours and the camera was turning crazy sometimes. >.<
I didn't really get why the 3D model is doubled with a transparent one. Heat effect or something?
@blight-radiance I expected that to happen but needed that button to get unstuck. If it's funny, then it's worth it!
@djeycreations Yeah, that's a heat effect, it's not actually a model.
@Bonelazy It was cooking + racing. And I agree with control issues, see above.
Except this, it's an excellent work!
You already know the sluggishnes etc. yada yada. I expected something a bit more MicroMachines-ish.
I think the graphics could do with being slightly less orange overall. The feeling of being in an oven is there, but some color variation would be more interesting.
Overall it was a pretty fun concept, and a good use of the theme!
Probably one of the more humorous entries I've seen, the physics is super wonky though I wish it all just moved a bit faster, especially when handling rollovers (I do love how it slowly rolls back into position after a while). I definitely didn't expect the acrobatic racing and Tony Hawk style scoring. That was an excellent touch to the game and I suspect that took a lot of code to detect things correctly. Really clever entry.
