Games Skyrider prototype racing game

Skyrider is a game I have been working on. Play it in the browser or by downloading the game. Version 5 is the older version.

Hi,

It's a prototype, so I can't criticize much (right?).
Only 2 things really bothered me:
- When going reverse and turning, it turns the wrong way.
- How is the mass distributed? The vehicle doesn't fall off the track when even 3/4 of it has nothing to hold it. And it doesn't follow the angle of the slopes, it always keeps its horizontal position.

Good luck!

 

Thanks for trying it out. I may try using a narrower collision box on the vehicle to see if it makes a difference with it staying on the track. The reason it doesn't follow slopes is the rotations are frozen on x and z to keep it from flipping over.

 

If it flips over, add the possibility of changing the center of mass. Then by adjusting the latter (especially on the y axis), it should solve your issue.

 

Thanks for your input. There will be a follow up game in the future that takes the story to a different level and uses some of the ideas you are talking about.

 

I tried changing the center of mass and it still flips. I wonder if it's worth the frustration of being able to flip the vehicle.

 

I have recently updated the UI and added a score. It works in both the downloadable and web versions.
