Hi everyone,
this is the first game created with AppGameKit Studio.
I decided to create a 2d car racing game inspired by the 80's "Crazy Rally" arcade game. It was very difficult to manage the resources available from mobile devices but I managed to make everything work.
I hope you like it and I'd like to get feedback from programmers!

Thank you all.

very professional offering, mendo. nice job

the hostess art doesn't quite fit the rest of the game, in my opinion, but overall graphics and play are nice and tight.

i'm curious as to what requires a 75+ MB install? it seems like a lot to me but i don't install many games on my (older android) phone.

otherwise, it's a little tough to enter the 3 high score initials on my smaller screen and i see room to have larger hit checks on the up/down arrows, but everything else felt "just right".

good work and thanks for sharing!

Thank you!

@Virtual Nomad
-hostess : thanks for the feedback, unfortunately there was no time to define it better, for the next project I will try to improve it.
-75+ MB: I used a custom system to encrypt resources based on memoryblocks ... (and I know, they are huge). Again there was not enough time to optimize it. For the next project I am already developing a new system that reduces all resources (encrypted) by one third and increasing the loading speed by three times even on slow devices.
- Record: I increased the size of the buttons: now they are clicked without size problems, thanks for the feedback!

Today I updated the Apps with the new fixes.

Thanks, your feedback is vital!

AGK supports zip files so it might be beneficial to zip your memblock files.

I did some tests by zipping the files but the loading times were unacceptable.

Hi,
Sorry, encryption with memory banks was the old system, the crazyDrivers release already uses part of the new encryption technology and the graphics are at maximum compression.
The dimensions of about 80mb of APK / IPA are for all the graphics used for the game.
If you want to have an idea of all the graphics that I have used in the game, visit the official website: https://zero39.com/crazyDrivers.

Is there any chance, this could run on Android 4.1 and maybe would have gamepad controller input? So it could run on the OUYA or nVidia ShieldTV?

Most impressive. (that is a lot of downloads for just a few months)

Hopefully most of them will spend a few bucks on the in app purchases.

It looks like driving games might be a great idea, as long as they are top quality like this one.
