This is a project I've been working on for about a week. My cousins and I sometimes take roadtrips together, and while we don't have internet access, we're restricted to offline games on his laptop. Unfortunately, none of these have a decent multiplayer mode, so I figured I'd go on ahead and make this.

ABOUT THE CONTROLS
You may experience bugs with multiplayer based off of your keyboard's limitations. There are combinations of keys that will not register on certain keyboards. If this becomes a problem, change the controls until you find a combination that works.

Updated review, the bug I experienced beforehand has stopped occurring so I'm now in a position to properly asses this game. (Note: I am noticing a lack of music, but considering the amount of audios listed in the credits, I'm going to assume this is another bug on my end and ignore it)

So overall the core concept and gameplay of the game is nice, but I feel like it could use a few quality of life tweaks and the like.

For one I feel like the players and obstacles need to be more filled in rather than just having an outline, as currently it can make it hard to see/ orient yourself at times.

Secondly, (And this is more of a nitpick) I think a larger font size could help, especially in the score counter during gameplay, as a small font mixed with colors that don't tend to contrast well with black makes for something that can be pretty hard to read at times.

Thirdly I think more mobility options/variety would be nice, one suggestion I have is that instead of stopping completely when you turn, I think it would be more interesting if you just slowed down a lot, causing you to drift for a bit, of course it is your game though so I don't want to intrude to much.

And lastly it needs to be communicated what the squares and circles do in game, and honestly I'm still a little confused as to what the squares do.

But overall I do think this game pretty alright.

Just tested this myself and I'm not able to reproduce the issue. Sorry.

So this is a super old game and lacks a lot of necessary features but I am currently working on a very similar concept called Slalomancers (not the same game as the one on my page right now) with way more features.

Pretty good. But unfortunately, once you enter, you can't pause or reset. Also I would like to find how to put some music, because I can't.

Response to @Riveet099 - It seems like there are no medals.

Response to @NekoMika - I agree, this could have a main menu music (I suggest Menu or Journey), and despite the selection looking outstanding, I think it's too much. I could choose about five instead of 22.

Damn, I've got the balls to write this review.

Kwing responds:

I know you're probably only playing this because of the treasure hunt, but provided the concept actually holds interest to you, you may be interested to know I'm working on a space shooter with a very similar concept called Slalomancers, which has the same couch multiplayer support, only for a smartphone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yWZ5YJg-5E

It's a good time-waster, but I can't unlock the medals. In fact, according to the medal history, no medals have been unlocked since 2015...? The game works fine when I'm in single player but I can't increase the amount of available point blocks without losing my ability to shoot.

Kwing responds:

That's really bizarre. I made a patch for a glitch several months ago but I can't see it having anything to do with the medals. But I know I can alter the settings of the game without glitches so maybe the issue is on your end?

this game is so cool
