No hands Dorifto by Gorypixels

[raw]
made by Gorypixels for Ludum Dare 49 (COMPO)

A barely playable thingy that kinda resembles a drift car with the worst tire alignement ever. Press the spacebar or click anywhere to hit the gas, release to avoid crashing into the apex. Score increases faster the closer you are to the apex, and it decreases the further away you get from it. Can you beat my world record? ;D Discovered I had only 10 hours to go for this Ludum Dare's edition, and decided to give it a try either way! :)

A very simple concept, but well executed. Nice looking too.

With a little work could make a good one-button game, would work well on eg a mobile screen with just touching the screen anywhere for the input

Haha, charming and kinda funny entry. Cool that you made something even with the limited time!

I love the janky, faux-3D look. That + the title and your description gives this surprising character.

Unstable yet simplistic game. I got 60 score and don't feel like about going higher.

@dezom @chikentear @bloodbane @fickle-swimming Thanks a lot for playing it! :) I know it's a bit too frustrating, if developed further it sure will have a less steep learning curve haha!

Nice, addictive little game. Another commenter said it would work well on mobile but I can confirm that it already does. For 10 hours I'm very impressed.

Simple yet addictive game. The idea was well executed an I didn't experience any bugs. Font was a little hard to read.

@zackavelli Thanks a lot for playing! You are absolutely right, the fonts are kinda attrocious T_T Didn't have time to change them, but if I improve this it is definetely one of the first things to upgrade!

I think that your game is incompatible with displays with higher refresh rate, perhaps. The game seems to run in hyper-speed when I play it.

I have not given a rating yet, but I will gladly do so if the issue can be fixed :)

@totteriludum Thanks a lot for the heads up! I will check it out this days, I'll let you know if I find any way to solve it. Thanks again! :D

I think I ran into the same problem with hyper-speed gameplay, as I basically had to buttonmash or else I would instantly crash into the wall. But beyond that the idea is well executed and the visuals are simple but neat. Keep it up!

@arttu-halonen Thanks a lot for the heads up! You are not the first one with this problem, so defenitely something I'll check on soon. Glad you liked it regardless! :D

Okay, oof.
This took me half an hour. This game is addictive in the best way. Would fit perfect in a Wario Ware style game. Great job.

Is the car getting more volatile the higher the score is? It feels harder to control at higher scores, but that might also just be a trick of the mind.

omg this was so difficult to play but so addictive! you really want to beat the next turn, and the other one! well done!

This is the kind of game where my fingers are in agony but I must keep playing. It is a bit difficult to get into, as it is kind of hard to figure out how things work at first due to just how quickly it'll give the game over menu, but once I figured it out, it was really addictive. Barely managed to get 72. Shoutout to my lowest score of -9.

I could not get over 139 but that's a nive game you've done in only 10h, very well done!
With EuroBeat music and drift sounds it would be perfect :D

For everyone: I'M SO GRATEFUL you are having as much fun playing this as I did making it! Super encouraging to pursue gamemaking more seriously. Thanks to all of you, specially the ones that are taking their time to vote and comment my game. YOU ARE ALL THE BEST <3

@fedev You did get super close though! :D so glad you liked it :)

@tomer-cool Thanks for playing! Absolutely true, a bit of music and FX sound could really work well with this tiny thingy :)

@poweranze WOW! I might have to update to your record now! :O I love to see my score beaten! how far will it go? Thanks a lot for putting your time into this <3

@m1nus Thanks a lot for playing! :D This is definetely suited for people looking for a challenge! haha

@proxy-games So glad you liked it so much <3 Tell your fingers that I said sorry! haha

@kora0h Another finger lost to this game! haha glad you liked it :)

@pixelydian Thanks a lot! Music is gonna be the next thing added for sure :) If only I had 10 hours more...

@sunderbird To be honest, also too hard for myself HAHA but I'm glad you liked the concept! :)

@rock-gong That's super close to my record though! So glad you played it :)

@solah I didn't thought about adding specifically Eurobeat, but you are absolutely correct! :D If I expand the game, that's the kind of music it absolutely needs, thanks for the tip! :)

@poweranze By the way! yes, the car gets more and more unstable the longer you stay drifting :)

Nice one, but very hard. The game looks goods, plays good, addictive too. It would be more fun to go further and add some features, concept is interesting!

Very good for 10 hours! Would be nice to have a second or two to get used to it when restarting, but then the difficulty is also what makes it special

@brusnika It is too hard for sure! it was the only way to make something this small engaging, but I'm already thinking in ways of expanding this, could be cool to make a full game using just one button! :D

Definitely a fun little "challenge" of a game. Make this a mobile game with a leaderboard and a way to challenge your friends and I could see this game being really successful. Great job!

It kind of fits that Flappy Bird model of being hypercasual but also insanely difficult at the same time. Was definitely motivating to see how far I could push it, and the "creator highscore" is a very nice element I might steal in the future haha! :D

I really enjoyed the game and feels like you have a nice mobile game here. My recommendations would be sound, an 80s synth soundtrack and an options to change the camera. Sometimes it felt more like I was fighting the camera than the apex.

Is it just me or is it playing way too fast in my browser? I can barely get above a score of 20 by mashing the spacebar as soon as the game starts. Edit: I just read some of the other comments and yupppppp, I think it's running in double-time or something! My monitor's refresh rate is 144hz for reference. Let me know if you come up with a solution, I'll come back and try it again. :)

@binaryprinciple Thanks a lot for playing! :D You are absolutely right about the camara, in fact I tried to improve it but my PC crashed and lost the editable file, so I left it the way it looks now! A new version would absolutely have a different camera angle :)

@gorypixels works great, I tested it out on iOS (iPhone 11 / Safari). I was able to get up to 121! I could see this being an arcade game like Black Emperor if you added little more variety. Great little mobile game and I love the added challenge of trying to beat the "world record."
