This ended up being a really fun game. Took me a minute to get the hang of, but once I did, it was a lot of fun.

Pretty fun game. I also made a game about drifting although mine's is more about drifting into enemies. I really like how the drifting feels in your game although it kinda sucked when you get stuck on a wall.
While it took me a bit of time to figure out what I needed to do and how to play, once I did I ended up having fun. I'm not usually big on driving games, but this was an interesting challenge and the addition of destroying walls in order to help yourself get through the stage in the future really helped make this a bit more involved than most top-down driving games.
The graphics are pretty bland, but they work for what the game is. Same with the sounds - bland but working well. Overall I think the game has a lot of promise and is pretty fun. It'd be neat to have an online scoreboard type feature to share with your friends - just a thought. >.<)B
Hey silversatyr,
awesome to hear that you had fun, even though you're not usually playing driving games and this is a super basic prototype.
We're planning on reworking all graphics and sounds in near future but used these very simple ones for this prototype for IGMC. Also Leaderboards and even Achievements are already in the works.
Thank you for the nice comment!
I was confused at first, but quickly got hang of the controls and what to do. Short fun game, I could definitely see this being a worthwhile mobile app. I see you have some plans to expand the game which are cool (tutorial would definitely be nice) Powerups and leaderboards might be nice too! (just a thought). Anyways, keep up the good work!
Hey LockeCole88, thanks for the comment!
Nice to hear you think it's fun. Our plan was to implement the Tutorial and even more during the contest but time ran out. Leaderboards are also planned and already worked on aswell.
Also while the voting of this Game Jam lasts, unfortunately we can't update the game on this page but Drift Through exists on Play Store and we update it there!
Hey, thank you for the Comment!
It was our design choice that you are always on the run and theres no standing around. For example if you are waiting for a door to open, you have to drift in circles to not hit a wall and get a penalty from that.
It generally increases the difficulty of the game and that's what we wanted.
