Very cool little scoring game, very juicy! I think it would benefit a lot from having some music added to it, but other than that it's a very solid entry all around! Nice job!

Pretty impressive that this was done in GMS. The controls are hard to get used to at first but eventually I figured it out. Max score: 3008, although that was reached by just spinning in circles in a green zone :grin:

love the mechanics, i wish the car was a bit faster when drifting because it was hard drifting from one box to another
visually i love it, simple but works a lot
Nice little game !

Great game, really fun! I had to drive away from the cones though, because they would get stuck on the car and drain my score to nothing.

@matt-blake nothing worse than a cone stuck in the wheel well

That was pretty fun. I was flipping so much with the slippery controls, then I learned how to use it to get the moves going

I liked this game a lot, it the controls were fun however id prefer them to be less sharp so you can get fatter drifts easier. Overall good game

by the way play springman on google play

Drifting is super fun, so well done, you got me. :D Sound was good, graphics were good, menu and tracks and everything did great - this game looks like a lot of work and polish went into it. My only desire was that I wanted the deceleration on sliding to be a little bit slower - ie I wanted it to be a little bit floatier, but I think that's a gamer preference thing. The way you have it is somewhat less arcade-y and more simulation-y, which isn't a bad thing. Thanks for this!

One of my fav games from the jam so far! Love how you encouraged me to turn on my own tunes, I cranked up some King Gizzard before drifting around. Super polished, and I'm impressed how good the 3d effects are for a GMS game. Really nice visual style and sfx as well. Seriously great work!

Took me some try to get the drifting right but when you gotta the hang of it, it's super fun. Nice production as well, the art fits the sound design and I like all the feedback you've added, gives the game some juice. Great entry!

This is one of those games that is just all round solid or above. The only thing I can really fault it for is feeling a little cramped trying to do the drifts so it made the skill curve quite steep - but then that's the whole point of the theme so I can't really blame you too much for this. The controls feel pretty tight, which is great because that is usually the thing that suffers most when making a game like this on a tight schedule.

I loved that there were a decent amount of maps too, always good to see lots of content in a jam entry - especially when it's a good game as you're going to want to play more of it. Maybe a bit more variety in the obstacles than just boxes and cones could have taken it to the next level. But anyway like I said everything you've done is great anyway so it would just be putting the icing on the cake at this point.

Really good job!

I love that the other onlookers don't care if you've run down some of the others lol! The controls felt good and all the AFX were satisfying to hear, I would have liked a screen where I could see all the levels and scores I got on them but that's a minor gripe! Overall though the game was great, and I had a blast playing it!
