Powerslide
A downloadable game for Windows
An arcade racing game with an emphasis on drifting.
It is heavily inspired by the shows/videos I have watched, as well as other racing games I have played previously.
All tracks are made with the in-game level editor that is available to all players.
The game is mostly done, but there are still a lot of bugs/undefined interactions that need to get ironed out, and a lot more tracks and features left to add, but it is certainly better than I thought it would be when I started making it.

hello,
first of all, I'm not racing gamer so my feedback and opinion are from my POV.
Second, sorry for my bad English.
my settings are: resolution 1024x768, standard, fullscreen
Here my feedback:
1. The control is responsive. No latency while push the button. However, while drifting sometime too responsive to right or left.
2. Need smoother camera changing especially while move backward.
3. I played 3 first tracks and notice that there are error message in the finish line. This issues did not occur in Tutorial track. However the game still can be played.
4. As I played, first 3 tracks are too wide, so gamer can easily do drifting them.
Some suggestion for future update:
1. SFX volume settings. Revving sound is good but maybe people getting bored after heard it in long time.
2. Music. So gamer not only hear car sound, like revving or drifting.
Success with your project
Best Regards,
Mar
Thanks for the feedback. I will see what I can do about 1,2,3,4.
Will definitely add a volume setting in the next update. Right now, you can press 'M', and it will switch the game volume between 10% and 100%, but it was meant to be temporary, so I have not mentioned this anywhere in the game.
I do not know how to make music at the moment, but I do plan on learning this and adding it in eventually. (the priority of this is very low though, because right now I just listen to music in another program while I play this, and I think this is a better experience anyway)
Nice work, this is a fun little racer!
The level editor was fine, and the flavor text was entertaining. It could use some polish in the framing, but that's pretty much it. The level designs are a little basic and bland, and sometimes it's hard to tell where you're supposed to be driving, but otherwise they're fun and sometimes challenging.
The car is a little wonky, mostly because the controls can be a bit sensitive (especially the drifting). What I ended up doing was instead of drifting, I sped up when approaching a turn, then held "A" or "D" and "S" at the same time to slow down and turn simultaneously (if I was still going too fast I'd just tap the spacebar and drift a little).
Overall, it's a fun and challenging game, just with a few things to tweak! Please keep up the good work!
