My daily puzzle game SerpenTiles won "Best Mobile Gameplay" on Reddit's recent hackathon! :)

Thanks to everyone who helped me bring this baby to life, with feedback, music and especially hammertime studio for connecting the game to reddits backend ๐Ÿซถ

Showing my new game for the first time at a con went over well!

So maybe maybe, the split between narrative and racing gameplay works out just fine :)
I got a lot of valueable player feedback - everybody loved to touch the roomba character for some reason

I thought my game was dystopian, but what is going on right now feels like its just way worse than what I could have imagined.
The hope I want to inspire is about stuff that feels small in the light of the files.

git commit -m "added new mover method for waypoints, added roomba char, fucked up elevator doors"

roomba learned waypoints
roomba destroyed elevator doors violently

creating any maintaining my moodboard and anytype database for this project was way more fun than I would've imagined.

Usually I wing it, have some browserbookmarks, some images in a folder and ideas in my little pocket notebook - creative chaos rule - but I get it now

Thank you, I'm glad it shows :)

Its totally inspired by the arcade racing games of my childhood like wipeOut, Megarace and PoD, but also lets you live through its story as a first person view narrative game.
(With the graphical power of the early tomb raider games ๐Ÿ˜‚)

You can wishlist Resistance Racing 2k97 from now on!

this is the game I wanted to do for years and its getting serious ๐Ÿ˜ฑ - but the story will have a bit of my usual absurdist dialogues and worldbuilding

After a lot of thinking, I realised, I already have all the variables for good race gameplay. I just needed to use them differently. Only by designing the UI for the "pitch vs curve = heat" of the craft I can mirror that in code now. So what you see is what you get.

Thinking out of the box, eh?

As a non native speaker its quite hard often but its a good learning thingy :)

Usually I am just happy to even complete it anyhow - getting two categories is a success ๐Ÿ˜…

Ui, sounds a bit like you got the visuals down without much gameplay?

Hang in there, nobody pays and forces you to finish it - except for yourself of course ๐Ÿ˜‚ but I hope you know what I mean.

Sonetimes fresh is good, sometimes you'll return anyways - just dont hurt yourself doing it

It definitely looks interesting with those hazy sun visuals - I wish you strength to continue with it!

the ai is clipping through the track as I created an unvoluntary junction with the track looping back on itself

how do you like the music, though?
