Fun game! I enjoyed the concept! However, the car is abit to hard to controll - even thougth it is meant to have alot of drift. Other than that, The game was fun and I liked the visuals:)

Great visuals, fun gameplay, but it is quite difficult to control the car. Normally, this would not be a problem, but since you seem to be slower than the drones if you aren't going really fast, it is a pretty big problem. Other than that issue, it's a pretty great game!

The presentation was amazing from the visuals to the audio! The gameplay was simple and fit the theme well.

The car was extremely hard to control, which is obviously kind of the point of the game. Still, I found it was a bit too difficult. Maybe make the driving a bit easier, or just the ammo bigger. The way things are now, by the time I was finally able to align my car and pick up 1 ammo a bunch of drones would have already reached me.

Otherwise, I thought the main menu was great, the cover art is very well done and good job on adding in an interactive tutorial! Keep up the amazing work :)

With a name like Drift Mayhem, I HAD to check this out.

I was not disappointed. The graphics are superb, and the sounds and music fit well together. The shooting feels really meaty.

  • This might be tricky to do, never done it, but you could probably add an outline or something to show how the car is turned when it's behind something relative to the camera, I got stuck under the gate at the start for a few seconds not know which way I was facing
  • Thank you, THANK YOU for putting walls on the edges. At first I saw the empty blue void and thought "oh no. a drifting game on floating platforms." But no! It makes it so much funner drifting around knowing there's no consequence for getting too close to the edge. Nice.
  • I feel like the car controls could use a bit less driftiness, just for the sake of responsiveness. I know it's a drifting game, but after a certain point it gets more tedious to control.
  • Same kinda thing, maybe the car could accelerate and brake a bit faster, especially compared to how fast the drones moves. But that's just a balancing thing.

Top notch work!

Really like the visuals. Everything was so consistent so that the game was pleasing to my eyes. Great job.

Thank you for rating!!

I really like this game. The art style and mechanics are really cool. Reminds me of those browser games I sometimes play in computer science class (and that’s a good thing)!

Thank you for rating!!

Great presentation and style, the controls should be quicker and its way too hard to drift without losing control. Also I got grade F  which makes me think its a wee bit hard.  I swear I'm not that bad ;)

Good job overall! Look forward to see what you do next time. :)

Lol even I could not pass even after playing many times. I was aware of the car being hard to control for new players but did not have the time to fix that.

I really like the idea and the graphics are great (and nive juicy explosions). Like Jonas, I thing there shoud be an accelerate and decelerate behavior, and also make the car more responsive (like accelerate quickly to get to normal speed when you press an arrow). But overall great game!

Developer

Thank you so much for rating

Very nice! Great graphics, great tutorial, nice concept, satisfying when the AI lands a hit. The car steering was alright. I'd say the accelerate and decelerate behavior of the car still feels a bit weird. I'd love for it to be a bit more direct. Great job!! :)
