I've been working on a game for a few months now. Everything is being done by me from scratch so I am looking to see what people think. Right now I am building the elements for the game and getting a handle on how GameMaker Studio works.


There is currently a demo of sorts available to download from the site on https://thedeadsofa.itch.io/pixel-racer-island
You can also find me and my updates on https://twitter.com/thedeadsofa and https://instagram.com/thedeadsofa/

All feedback is appreciated!

I think this is a neat concept; I like how if you slowly nudge the people towards the water they jump into it to avoid being hit :)

If anything maybe the acceleration is one step too fast. Beyond that I would say continue on with making it more of a complete game. Adding sound effects and music will help. For the gameplay; would the goal be to avoid hitting the people, or to hit them? For example, if they were zombies, maybe you would want to hit them?

Thanks for the feedback. The plan is to have different cars with different top speeds + accelaration and hitting people would add add a time penalty (although from previous comments, users seem to like running over the people!)
