Final Race

Created By:

This is a racing game with three races where you have to reach the finish of each race in a certain amount of time. With obstacles from walls to pits, don't think it'll be easy! The graphics are bad but the gameplay will hopefully make up for it.

UPDATE: Now the game is improved and now you actually get to drive something that looks like a car. You now have three vehicles to choose from, each with minor differences. There are sounds in it now too.

Great, challenging game. (I hope it's legal to give your own game a good score Smiling )

You make me lol.

Also, I wanted to like this game, but unfortunately, I couldn't. Default racecar movement and rough doodles of racetracks just weren't good components of a game.

I'm probably going to make a sequel to this game to get rid of that stupid race car movement and replace it with something else. About the graphics......

Well it's a first... I think Sticking out tongue

COSMIC is cool though

Well it not a first on my half, but its something.

1) I don't see the fun in the game. Where is the "Challenge" you speak of. Finished it on my second attempt.

2) It would be nice if the items were identified. Even though I figured them out on my own the yellow things were speed boosts and whatnot. What was the counter in the upper left corner for? Score? Should make it more obvious. Looks like a timer.

3) Graphics are so so, personally not my style but you have to start somewhere. Look up some Photoshop tutorials. This one here shows a neat little tutorial that can be modified for your needs as far as a road goes. A simple modified road and a backdrop that isn't white would be easier on the eyes.

That's my unbiased 2 cents.

Oh, about the challenge? I didn't have very much trouble winning, but I though that was just because I made the game myself Sticking out tongue . Also, my friends had lots of trouble with it which made it seem easier than it was.

Gameplay – 4/20 - There's no good gameplay, but still for effort.
General Professionalism – 2/10 - It's an example of such games we shouldn't make.
Appropriate Graphics to the Game - 1/5 - I don't have to comment that one?
Appropriate Music and Sounds – 2/5 - Like GFX, but still good CT sounds.
5 POINT BONUS Event: 0/5 - All events are not commented
5 POINT BONUS Flash/Java: 0/5 - It doesn't compile to both Java App and Applet.

Total 9/50 = 18% = 2*

What? I commented all the events!

He means the events aren't commented accurately or give enough detail about what the events do. You may have commented on all of them, but it didn't mean they were good comments.

I just really disliked this game in general. You need to have some indication that the player is moving at the start on the first race. Without any background graphics you can't tell if it's moving or not. It looks like there's an invisible wall blocking your path.

The hand drawn tracks I have to say were awful. It made the game seem like something someone had made in a hurry without putting much thought into it.

Also, why is there an altitude counter? Your car doesn't seem to be going over any hills and it's definitely not flying, (I hope) so why is there one? If you are putting something there, I believe you mean velocity. (Speed)

Change the background colour. White makes it hard on your eyes, and have some other graphics in there like trees, and actual road, or at least put some effort into making the power ups look good.

And for the power ups, how am I supposed to tell what "Watch Out" and a red block means? And "Go Fast" for yellow?

I think you could make this into a decent game if you just sat down and put some effort into it. Good attempt, but seriously. Think about your next game carefully.

I'm going to give you three stars because I'm nice. That's just my constructive criticism.
