I don't know how to do, but anyone of the HD installer people maybe?

Try ask to John Girvin
He created highscore section in his last two games, Dodgy Rocks and Turbo Tomato

This is intended as just feedback, and not to be mean since I like the initiative.

But...

1. Game Over seems completely unnecessary. You just continue driving. Score is reset, but coins are not, so... nothing happens. This is unusual and unlike all other games. Built in trainer

Fix: hm... remove the Game Over sign?

2. You can only upgrade when you run out of gas. So no matter how well you play, you will get Game Over and then either have money for upgrades or not. And if not, nothing happens. Infinite tries. Fix: pit stops? (e.g. car games, Xenon 2)

3. RNG is too random. This results in sometimes all lanes blocked, and sometimes in a supersonic missile car removing your fuel that can't be avoided at all. Fix: I think most games did this from feedback playing themselves or other playing and fiddled with it until it was acceptable. But board games and puzzle games have solved this. E.g. if rolling 2x20 ends a campaign, and 2x20 is found to come up sometimes, increase to 3x20 or 5x20. (Bags of dice)

All of these things you complained about are common gameplay mechanics we can see in many other contemporary endless runner games, but it seems you are not familiar with or perhaps used to where the genre has gone in the 2010s mobile gaming space.

It is what it is. Feel free to like/dislike.

I think you're mistaken. I definitely think it's invalid to call lack of an implemented mechanic (e.g. #1 priority, managing death-RNG) a mechanic.

Or not play? I think that would be a shame, so I suggest fixes. "It is what it is" can sound like a harsher criticism than my post that you call a complaint.

@Photon : always the same old story

Uploaded in the zone a Glow Icon and png image for the new WHDLoad installer.

jotd · 17 December 2022, 11:23

thanks. Is it only me but people noticed that opponent cars were trashed, coins were almost invisible, etc... with WinUAE? (this is fixed in whdload)

thanks for the icon.

Thanks for the WHDL install. Dopus wouldn't unpack the installer file so it was in windows
Great music gfx etc. Cheers..

Hmm, it unpacked fine for me with Dopus 4.16+lha 2.15
