I downloaded it and it gave me unexpected error while running the game.

Well the view going to the side is terrible since I can't see in front of me, and shouldn't I be able to just drive over oil slicks? If this is supposed to be a high speed game, then this definitely did not make the cut. I have to go slow around everything to make sure I don't get screwed over by the buggy collision (which the car should move in the opposite direction a tad so I can get out without losing an entire life over one mistake). The car graphics and stuff looked good, but the money definitely did not match. I'm also not sure why the game is 57 Mb.

thx all for your comment
we'll fix it later..

Not bad. The controls got me stuck in the tires a few times... but not permanently. I'm not crazy about the controls. I prefer using separate hands for turning and for accelerating. But that's just my preference.

I like your help page at the start of the game. Too many beginners omit this, forcing players to hunt around for the right keys.

The graphics are simple, but clean looking. But why is the file size 57 MB? That's enormous for a game like this...especially without any music.

The driving seems rather slow, and the course isn't that exciting. So that's an area you could improve. Maybe add different obstacles, larger field-of-view, more powerups, etc.

But all in all, a good start. And you did it all with the Lite version. +1 for that.

Same. I even went out of my comfort zone and downloaded a 57MB file without any screenshots to boot! Gah!

Naomi, I will be willing to try out this game again if you can upload a couple screens in the original post, and fix this issue if possible. Upon playing the game I was going to offer some suggestions for optimizing your file size, but since I can't see anything it will have to wait. I'm guessing you either have a lot of hi-res textures or uncompressed wav sounds. Maybe a bit of both?

[Naomi]

thx for any suggestions.
this is our new version for beta.
check this out and give me a feed back again. thx

Great, this one is half of the old one (old one "57,4 MB", this one "26.8 MB")

Testing, Going to edit when download is finished and tested

Edit: You fixed the initial error :D, but when you lose and press the left button (cant remember the text it had) it crashes.

Thanks for taking care of those problems The game is pretty good for a start. I'm not exactly sure what the limitations are for GM Lite since I haven't used it in a very long time, but I'll give you my feedback regardless:

- The music was appropropriate for the game however there needs to be a clear way for players to turn it off.
- You should really look into collision checking as I was getting stuck into walls that were not even touching me.
- When hit by bullets, your speed should only decrease by a small amount, not stop completely.
- The car controls & physics overall could be much more smooth and natural.
- The graphics and menus were pretty solid, no real problems there. The menus were a bit rough around the edges so I'm not sure if that's a resizing issue or what.

Overall looking good. Better than what I was doing at this stage.

thx for your feed back...
-about the buggy collision : i'm still check about that. i don't know why it becomes to be a buggy collision.but, don't worry, i'll manage it later
-when hit by bullets, i must check about that script. because i've already set it only decrease by a small amount.
thx you ^^
