kinda slow for a race game no?

i really like what you've done there. good feel, but the overall pace of the game needs to increase.

the game seems to slow down a lot when i'm out of road (i think? or too much collision detection at the same time, i would need to check again), though the framerate never dropped...

Hey gang,

Thanks for the feedback so far, its much appreciated! We have been playing around with the pace of the game, its a question of striking a good balance for the screen size and playability... this is something which is certainly variable in future releases.

By out of road, do you mean on the grass? If so, this is deliberate we have a system that allows for many different surfaces, all having differing characteristics - the grass does slow you down a lot at the moment!

Your racing lines are very good. The control feels very realistic and challenging. The collision detection is perfect. Right down to hitting the side of a car to spin it. You have obviously put a lot of effort into making this realistic. I like that. You don't see many realistic flash games and I think this works well.

Thanks for the comments, we are aiming for something a little different to whats already on the circuit. For example, we want to have some really large tracks, probably modelling them on existing circuits as close as possible...

Well done, keep us updated with newer releases

You can keep updated on all the progress at the blog!


Keep it coming!

Great physics... rather slow for a racing game. But great job nonetheless.
