ok i got more emails about beta testing, almost everybody says you need the game running faster, as fast as the trailer, i dont mind if we discard the glow completely for increased speed., also do you guys think it would be cool to have a starfield in the bg?

sorry to double post, but do you think you could make it so we can select any level of any league just for beta testing purposes?

-add a little fire behind the space ship thingies
-make levels smaller
-go faster
-more powerups(not diferent types, just the amount of them)
-be able to start out with a few powerups
-make powerups respawn after a few seconds

hope this helped! :D

Produces lag

-make levels smaller

Average beta testers said 3 repetitions max

-go faster

workign on it

-more powerups(not diferent types, just the amount of them)

Can Do

-be able to start out with a few powerups

[erhaps 2 boosts?

-make powerups respawn after a few seconds

definetely, a major flaw


hope this helped! :D

yes it did, you = betatester (youll get credit for it too :D)

the enemies use it instantly , starting them with it would be no advantage.

the fire would look shitty withour like, 5 glow filters lol.

it could be done, but the whole original idea was to have trails.

The tails you have show up around 48 seconds into the race even though you are in front of everyone. Make the glow/flash your ship does when it boosts instead of every few seconds. Is it possible to have the same effect when you crash into a wall when you crash into an opponent?

Add some more objects and make more powerups. This reminds me of one of those new GBA games, in those new boxes.

Ha, I knew it was inspired by dotstream! I said that in my last post. Lucky I read about that. Anyway, add like a "blue shell" as in like the one in Mario Kart: Double Dash. I loved that weapon.

-If you dont move at all you can fly through all the walls.(From the start of the race.)
-Level 4 intermedite the 2nd half of the long diagonal peice wall does not work.(I can fly through it)
The races are still to long. I say about 30 seconds long. Idk if this will work for the speed issue but maybe if you make the objects come at you it will increase the speed.

And in the manual you defently should put a visual for the controls.

Make it so the bar on the bottom is more accurate...

The track ends when there is still a few cm to the right of your line.

the levels shud only repeat twice, cuz then im just usually minimizing it and doing sumthing else (lol) after about the second time. oh and i see u added more power ups, but now that u increased the speed, its hard to get the power ups without hiting the walls (at least in the expert league level 3....) u need to spread them out more. and 1 last thing, wen it loops, at the end of the loop there'll be a part where theres nuthing for a little while, and then it starts over. make that nothing part smaller.

-u r so gonna get frontpage
-dont forget to add me in credits! :D

I dont agree with chubb. You should still make the other people go same speed as you.

The game is looking much better now! Nice ingame quotes :P
I think the beginner levels are actually harder than all the others because the enemies have less objects to run into, maybe make them a bit slower just for the first few begginer levels. But it's really coming along very nicely, I like it a lot more now then I originally did. Good luck once more,

I have nothing to say accept maybe have a screen after the color selection to choose your speed, turn speed, etc. with credits to spend.

Other than that, this is truely an amazing game, I am astounded at some of the proffesionalism I have seen, like...

it took me 1.5 hours but i did it. i made a an icon for every level

great!

Great! Thanks for using my bitmap idea Sugg =p

-Get rid of that god awful music on the menu that has been overplayed in every flash...
-Make Up and Down move as well, alternate controls. Or even...customizeable?
-Mute button
-Change the font in the beginnging dialouge. Add capitals and puncuatoin and what not. Make it more creative and smaller
-Add a skip button the the begginning and many other cutscenes you intend to have.

Overall, much better, and a lot more colorful and fun, great job!

You could make this so much cooler by adding some fucked up faux 3d thing in the background or something atleast.

The manual bit needs to be more intresting too, try and cut down on the text. I've looked at this thread abot 3 times and only just bothered to play it because the instructions were boring to get through.

It seemed alright though whyile playing, I dont like the way you bounce off of stuff you hit, seemed annoing, maybe if you like graxed along them instead or something, that woulkd feel nicer.
