someone said their best time was 75 seconds..... i think i really underestimated how hard this game is as usual lol

somehow i never get better at judging how difficult my games are for other ppl.....

75 seconds sounds like theyve missed an important mechanic or somethibg

i watched a friend play for the first time & it was very informative..... it seems like beginner kitty racers dont have a good grasp of speed/size management and will stay small for long stretches even when there is lots of space to grow. filling as much space as possible is probably the most important kitty racing technique..... my friend also had seemed to have trouble making small size adjustments & would hold the expand/shrink buttons longer than necessary, often resulting in getting stuck or moving at suboptimal speeds. they did considerably better after i demonstrated how to get a 44-second time

i also see why it hasnt got many comments or much enthusiasm even though i personally think its one of the most funnest games ive made in a while..... if you arent good at it then its just a very awkward experience with slow ass movement and lots of getting stuck on walls..... i guess people just didnt wanna break it to me :(

i think to get other people to enjoy it i would need to have like some super easy tutorial trax, and maybe ai kittys that demonstrate the basics of movement..... but its probably not worth the time to expand the game.....

something that might help is a clear indication of when you become stuck while growing, like maybe the kittey frowns or meows at you or changes to deeper color

well nevermind because i guess optimally you would grow/shrink while moving so you would be able to tell when youve stuckinated

im working on a prototype where you can choose between three types of transmission for your kitty.....
  • automatic: expanding/shrinking is done automatically (but inoptimally)
  • semi-automatic: expanding is manual, shrinking is done automatically when you collide with a wall
  • manual: the current way it works

How is the auto-expanding supposed to work? Full and semi-auto seem exactly the same to me - only shrinking when I hit walls. The idea sounds good, though.

Er, 94 seconds on my first go (manual).  But I think I did four laps instead of three?  Not sure if I had to touch the disco ball each time.

Anyway I would say semi-automatic is the most fun mode.  Shaved about 30 seconds off on try #2.
