Good game, pretty challenging, but the sounds were a bit annoying. but seriously a good game
I want to live here. Camera controls are a little wonky, but I really like the whole package. Great job.

@Jonathan Whiting - reuploaded the archive, now it has the libraries
@GiveMeAllYourCats - was reuploading :)
Sorry guys.
Thanks for fixing!
I kind of adore the ultra harsh music, was giggling like crazy playing this. The off the track punishment was both too vague and too extreme, a substantial speed punishment for veering off would be far more enjoyable.
I liked the instant fail on going off track. It made me more tense and try harder to be honest. Really enjoyed the game, loving the art style, though as others mentioned, music can get to your brain. Nice work.
Personally for me I like games with more art than just colors. But the style is great and I love how fun it gets and the frustration I get when I run off the track (which is good) because it keeps me playing
Really stylistic visuals, great concept. Loved all the models for the capacitors and ICs.
Thanks now I have that music stuck in my head for the whole day
Good game though, I like the fact its 3D
haha, your homemade synth almost destroyed my home! Those are some harsh sounds.
I found the graphics with the looming computer parts really enhanced the game.
It got pretty hard pretty fast for me.
Good game.
I like this. Addictive and fun. The music is annoying, though adds to the gameplay, in a strange way.
Fun game, but really painful music!
(Would have been x10 better if there was a more visual indicator of where you could/couldn't go!)
Well, that was fast. Ending screen is so rapid. I have a strange feeling. Reminds me of Tron
The sounds are pretty annoying but the game itself is rather good.
What's the link with the theme ?
Challenging! I want more levels!
Would be awesome if there was a leaderboard of fastest times. I'd suggest a quick-restart button like in Trackmania, but then again running away from the track works the same :P
Loved racing this brutal circuit while catchy song crumpled itself up in my ear.
PCB-action, woot! This is one of the "must played" games, because of the game style.
The idea for the game is good and the visuals of being beneath the surface of some technological gadget was pretty cool. I did have some mechanical troubles though.
The timer should have started after the player pressed a key, not immediately after the level loads. Some of the collisions were also far too unpredictable, like on the second level right at the start there is a hard right turn around some component but the hit box spans halfway into the track.
Very fitting music though, and it didn't get annoying :)
Hi @Cake&Code, thanks for the response. Actually now I am working on the next version of this game (and on the iOS port), where the issues you mentioned are already fixed. The main features of the new version will be rival AI cars and more levels. Also, we will try to do something with the music :)
That sounds awesome! Glad to hear you're still working on it and good luck with the porting :D
Lo-fi and crunchy racing game. Nice concept of a micro-scale racer. Audio and visuals are definitely in your face! Nice distraction for a few minutes, could do with more longevity.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
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.
Great job. That music tho. Its stuck in my head!!!!
