Damm i like this one can you make it for mobile pls🥺
Seeing the attic made me smile!
I posted this on your submission page, but thought the comments section needed some love too -
I saw the car and I instantly clicked on this! Straight away the quality of this game is so high. Loading it up, I instantly got hit with a wave of nostalgia from those old penny racer games on PS2, I absolutely loved Road Trip Adventure as a kid - the music in the garage sounds like that game so much! The premise and style of your game is amazing, the way it is presented to the player is perfect, it was really fun learning the controls.
Despite that I have some feedback for you to improve the game with, I really hope you take this further and make some more levels. This game is awesome!!
Feedback: Not enough control of steering at high speeds, it feels like a punishment for trying to go fast. The car slows down to a stop too fast, like too much rolling resistance, it feels like a punishment for going slow and I have to keep pulling back in small increments to get around new and small areas. Not enough steering control at low speeds, I keep having to stop to go around tight corners (later learnt the hop to turn in place but didn’t really help too much). Braking doesn’t pause the power bar, I don’t have much control over the power delivery. Level design (platforming) wasn't very forgiving at the very very start (the first ramp with the fall behind it) but it was still difficult further on in the game, for example the vertical pad jump and the sofa sideways ramp.
I also encountered a bug where I was able to jump through the window and out of the level.
In conclusion, I absolutely love this game and hope my feedback can help in some way. The art direction and theme is immaculate, congratulations and good luck going forward!
