Evening all. Finally getting towards something like a complete game. It still needs a fair bit of polish and tracks etc, but it's playable.

Essentially it's a tilt-to-steer android game. Splattering the bad guys gives you boost, and the car is upgradeable in various ways.

I'd be really interested in having people try it out as I'm not sure how intuitive the steering is... I find it easy to whiz around at top speed.. but then I would I guess!.. not sure whether I need to code in a tutorial. Essentially if you 'dip' the sides of your phone gently rather than rotating it, it all works nicely.

If anyone does fancy giving it a go, the apk file is attached.. it's not signed as yet so phone will need to be in developer mode. I promise there's no nasties! Game is playable on windows, but the whole tilt thing is the essence of the game.

Edit: Seems to be a bug if you play track 3 after playing previous tracks...must be a variable I forgot to reset. But if you come out of the game and go back in all is OK. Progress is saved.

i gave it a few runs, was (accurately) declared a "loser" with regard to tilt-to-steer games, but can see getting used to it over time.

a sound indicator would help me with the controls (tire screech that increases with over-steering?)

otherwise, "works as intended". nice one

sorry about the loser.. there's a lot of 'placeholders' -.

Thanks for giving it a whirl. The tracks aren't named yet but start from the top left for the easiest to bottom right for hardest, and get progressively more difficult along the way.

I've been chucking a few sounds in today & got the track bug fixed so will give in an update in the next few days when I've got a bit more progress.

Was thinking of theming it 'escape from the whitehouse'. with Trump as the driver with Pence as the co-driver, shotgunning the blue-haired zombies, but I'll sleep on that one.
