Synopsis
- When everything is coming your way, you're in the
wrong lane!
- You are the driver of a fast racecar, and you want
to get to your destination quickly!
- Thus, you are speeding down the highway much
faster than other cars.
- Your challenge is to dodge oncoming traffic and
make it as far as possible.
- As of the alpha, you can select the desired speed
(0-10) to go down the highway.
- In the future, you will only be able to select the
difficulty, and the speed will advance accordingly.
- Speed 1-9 are playable (speed 9 with quite some
concentration..)
- Speed 10 is just for fun. It's way too fast...
- For the future of the game there are a few things
planned.
- I will gradually implement those, depending on my
time.
- My ideas: abilities (respawn, rockets to kill the
car in front,..), fuel, sound effects and music.
- I am open for feedback and ideas!
How To
Play
- The game greets you
with a start menu, which will be
getting more options in the
future.
- As of now, you may
select a given game speed (values
00-10).
- Once START is
selected, you will be gaining
control of the racecar.
- Upon hitting an
object, the game is over, and you
will get the option to retry or go
back to the start menu - e.g., to
select a slower speed ;-)
- As of the alpha
release, input is limited to the
buttons on controller 1
- Don't worry, joystick
support is planned!
- Pressing button 2/3
once, initiates a single lane
change (2=left, 3=right)
- Pressing button 2/3
while executing a lane change
won't have any effect
- Buttons 1 and 4 are
currently unused
- Like changing lanes,
buttons 2 and 3 will let you
navigate through the menu
- To select an option,
press button 4
- Once an option with a
user input value is selected, used
button 2/3 to alternate all
possible values
- To save the input,
press button 4 again
- Button 1 is unused
