made by Stefan0198 for Ludum Dare 47 (JAM)

Race again and again to improve your highscore, while you are stuck in an endless racing loop! Every round you can unlock new powerups, which will give you a new way of experiencing the track.

You can enable a powerup by driving through the collectable items. There are three types of powerups: - Speed: Get a speed boost on parts of the track.

  • Ghost: Drive through previously impenetrable walls.

  • Destruction: Destroy objects, which occupy the road.

Cool graphics. Really smooth racing. Kinda wish there was a more smooth option to turning rather than drifting. It's good tho when you got the hang of it. Good game.

WUTTTT! This game is visually stunning! Great execution - My only notes are to consider spending some cycles tuning the controls, turning is hard and the bumpers are unforgiving. This is a game I could spend a lot of time in -

Great job!

Very nice art style and theme. The drive controls are a bit yank though - or I didn't manage to get the hang of them :D

The graphics are fantastic. Seriously, they're really, really good. Unfortunately, the steering is pretty twitchy. It's hard to make tight turns around the bends, so I never really got to go fast >:

Wow graphics look amazing ! I love this idea but collisions are a bit harsh.

WOW. This game fits a perfect vaporwave a e s t h e t i c. I loved the audio and visuals, in fact, if this game was just a chill "drive through vaporwave landscapes vibing to sick beats" I would actually purchase it at the $20 mark. One thing to note is I didn't see any sort of indicator for when you're going the "wrong way"? Either way, excellent job with the mood and graphics!

I think I did get a visual bug when I flipped my car(woops) where the wheels did a weird graphical shudder for a bit.

Gorgeous! The music and graphics come together for a really nice 80's aesthetic and mood, which is ironic because the nicest supercomputer from the eighties couldn't render this in a hundred years. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Really nice looking game but I feel like the reflections are a bit intense and sometimes I can't see the track. Some emissive texture on the edge of the tracks might make it easier to see. Also the handling is a bit tricky and I kept getting caught on the edge.

Really good work though!

Love the aesthetics! Really feeling that retro wave vibe. The car was a bit hard to control, and when I hit a wall I would crash into it when I except to slide against it, sometimes causing me to flip over. Also there seemed to be a bug because the signs didn't disappear when I grabbed the power up. You're allowed to fix that since it's a game breaking bug! In any case, good job!

Lovely graphics style, and obviously this fits the theme nicely. I make racing simulations for a living so I might be a bit too harsh here but the collisions of the car (wheels) with the pavement are way too intense. It would have been nice if you bounced off them a bit more. I did not see powerups, drove for a while, and finally ended on my roof. Good job overall!
