This looks quite extensive for a game made from scratch in 48 hours. Nice work! Also good use of Unity-Resources.
Finshed up third, loved your art and the way meteors work, wish it was faster because I felt the game was way too long. Still in a multiplayer I wouldn't mind the lenght!
No possible way! Seriously, 5 stars is not enough to award this game for graphics. Un-be-lievable! Oh boy I'm dizzy now though.
Haha, thanks Peculier! - If you think you're dizzy, I've been looking at this game for the last 48 hours! :D
Tork - agreed that the game is way too long, that was my 'genius' plan for squeezing out the most gameplay, haha. Yeah, multiplayer might help with that.. :)
What a beautiful, fantastic, bizarre game. I love it. Darn that sun is so creepy though.
Thanks guys! That sun is creeping me out too now that you mention it.. :)
Holy Moly, this is a gorgeous-looking game. Not just nicely done, but with a real distinctive hand-illustrated style to it. Everything about this one is pure quality.
Really awesome game :) great graphics, sounds etc...
well done !
I didn't have unity web player, but it's ultra quick to install (literally 2 seconds) ^^
Really nice! I love the art, love the concept and love the music! :)
The art and music in this are beyond fantastic. The gameplay itself is a little easy. I lapped everyone at least twice :)
Hah, you're much better than it than me then Chronus! I have trouble beating that damn rabbit most times... Cheers :D
Seriously, these are among the most beautiful graphics I've ever seen for a video game. Very found of the mood, sky, lighting, everything....
I played your preview during the contest, and came back to see the finished game.
I must say I'm somehow disappointed by the game play. It's good, but far from excellence of the graphics.
I totally agree about the gameplay - I'm not a great game designer by any means. That's mostly why I decided to enter Ludum Dare, actually. Hoping to improve in the future! Thanks for the feedback Plancien. :D
Sir, the visuals are stunning! As mentioned before the gameplay is meh. maybe 10 laps is a bit to much? Could need a bit more variety. But, damn you redefined the words style and beauty. Much respect!
I did have some plans for a bunch of different powerups / powerdowns / obstacles along the way like jetpack, zimmer frame, beserk mode (charge straight through obstacles and smash em), that kinda thing. Don't know if it would have made the gameplay more fun, was hoping it would spice things up and maybe inject a bit of humor. In any case, I ran out of time (and willpower) to implement anything like that. Yeah, probably should have just reduced the lap count like you say. Cheers for the feedback! :D
Extremely good looking and the gameplay is also fun, really enjoyed this.
Nice colors on the sky and ground but I think the level design needs more care
Love the look of this game and the sound of it. I featured it in my video compilation of Ludum Dare 27 games, if you would like to check it out, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOZnQrkIteE
i did not feel the music fitted well,kind of laggy but its still an ok game
I like my games like I like my badgers: hand-drawn and weird :P
Fun game. Wonderful graphics. Really like the sound effects.
As a game this was just okay. But as a representation of style, art, and concept it is very very cool. This is in fact one of the best looking games I've seen on here. The style is unique, clever, and very well implemented. I think this would have been better suited to an interesting platformer instead of a simple racer where you run around the planet in circles though. Excellent work!
Thanks zentaco - yeah, a platformer would have been cool. Next time perhaps! :)
Don't like unity, but graphics are obviously very very beautiful ! Hovewer, gameplay is a bit too simple ;)
Awesome graphics, the sun and the moon are especially well drawn. A great entry, was really fun to play but storywise the relation to the theme is lacking, badgers have to wait 10 seconds just because the rabbits said, you could figure out a better pretext but apart from that everything else is excellent.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
cool!
