I gave this a serious go last night, and got a list of points:
- I think you have the difficulties inversed, Hard is actually easy, and Easy is hard. I kept setting it to easy and lost the first track every single time, then switched to Hard and I won on the spot
- Now with the ability to beat tracks, I got to explore things a bit more. I didn't even know there were bonus drift tracks or upgrade shops where you can spend the bonus you gain. That adds lot of depth to the game.
- Even on easy difficulty (Hard option) the drifting is a tad too much, although tolerable. More control would be nice though, because in tracks such as track 5 it's very easy to hit walls and lose any sporting chance at victory.
- You advance to the next track once you win the current one, right? Well I gave track 5 perhaps six or seven tries, and on the last try i came out second, and advanced to the drift track regardless. it should be noted that it was a photo finish, so perhaps I came out first but the program took that into account before displaying the title.
- I got stuck at track 7, and it hit me that part of what keeps frustrating me at times is the stick. Often it simply won't register input because I don't press it exactly to the left or to right. How about you register left movement as UP-LEFT, LEFT, DOWN-LEFT, and right movement as UP-RIGHT, RIGHT, DOWN-RIGHT? That would allow for looser controls, and the game would flow a lot better.
Thanks again UD, great stuff
