Reviews for Space Racer - Demo 2

[spudster656]

good but glitchy

whenever you hit the wall, you get stuck, and can't get out for awhile, and this is really annoying when you're racing the comp that breaks all the rules by a)going faster than you b)just running you over and when you hit him you bounce off, and lose speed c)he cuts corners going off into the black space, completely ignoring the rule of getting your ass stuck d)he makes impossible turns taking huge angles at high speeds. You also have no time to start going before he just takes of flying.

The second course is nice, in that in is easier to avoid the walls, and what is with course 3 being under "construction?"
well, this has definite potential, but it has a lot of bugs, and i hope this helps you out.

A Good Start

I'll start by saying that the graphics are very nice, all of the ships look decent, as well as the backgrounds. The pilots look a little strange though. Now for the critisims, the ships all look different, but the handlings seem almost identical and I could not easily tell exactly what was different about them except for their appearance and size. The race tracks were very bland and boring, granted it is a demo, but there was nothing interesting about the tracks themselves. A suggestion I might make would be to insert boosters, objects in the way, something to actually require some skill or reflex. I was pretty bored while driving the things, I'm not sure how you are imagining they are propelled, but I might suggest some kind of sound effect to go with the driving, and a glowing at the back to suggest a jet? The speed could be increased to make the game more engaging and intense as well.

A bit disappointing

This would be a really awesome game if it weren't for all the bugs. Like you say, the walls are a bit buggy, and also your collision physics are a bit off. This has good potential, though - if you ironed out all the bugs, this could be a riveting high-velocity racing game, like F-Zero style or something. It would be worth the effort it you could fix it up.

Nice Concept, bad interface and graphics

The game in itself is a good concept and I like the idea; however more time needs to be spent on this game before I would consider it to even be in a semi-functional state. Improve your visuals and your graphics...they make me not want to play. Some of the menu actions were buggy and several of the racer/ships lacked descriptions. With improvement, this can become much better. Best of luck

yea..

pretty, but.. just not fun =\. the music was kinda annoying and all you had to do to win was cross the line then back up then drive forward again. Everytime you touch the line it counted as a lap, regardless if you did the lap or not.

Nice try, just not original and nothing to exciting and new.
