Love to see a racing game for the game jam! Love that the menu has character customization and track selection. And enjoy the low poly environment and cinematic camera at the beginning of a race. Would love to also see the camera while racing feeling a little smoother though.
Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad you liked it :)
Keeping the camera smooth was something I stressed about for a while before I realised I was spending too much time on it :/ It can be jittery at times but getting the balance between jitter and responsiveness was giving me too many headaches so I had to leave it and move on. It’s definitely something I’d revisit in future!
Just like in Mario Kart, the blue "Shell" in this game makes me very angry.
Mario cart combined with bugs, I love it! It's just beautiful!
The visuals are pleasant, the controls are simple and responsive, There is nothing to comment, it's just brilliant! I would love to see more levels, more powerups, and maybe multiplayer support.
Well done!!!
Really great work. I love racing games like this and racing as a bug is perfect. I enjoyed the chill atmosphere/sfx, being able to customise my character is an awesome touch. It has a lot more features than I expected too. Well done!
Forgot the blue spiky shell in mario kart the blue mosquito is the real killer. The music and stages were great and I especially loved the ability to customize the ants.
Great racer, I have thought many times about creating a racer but no clue how I would make interesting and challenging AI. I loved how the other racers targeted each other and I had a pretty good run but still only managed to get 2nd. The levels look pretty good too and the customization of the character is some great polish. Very well done!
Cool take on a kart racer! Fits the theme really well. I like how you added customization for the character racer too, that's a nice touch!
This game is actually underrated, I think it might be because people don't want to be bothered with downloading stuff. Give it a try people, it's really fun!
Cool bug racing will fun SFX. Great work! Played the browser version from a link on the Discord server that worked great. You should include that too.
