Gravity Racer

Minimalistic "Thrust" game where you race a space ship in a cave.

Overview

The game is difficult. Walls will kill you instantly so you need to be careful. Try getting to the first checkpoint and then start improving your time.

Controls:

Space = Thrust
Left/Right = Rotate the ship

Design and inspiration

Made for Blackthornprod GAME JAM #3 with the theme "Less is more". After watching the video about game feel I got inspire to focus on only game feel. This lead me to:

Only use rectangles (less graphics)
No hit points, one hit and you are dead (less life)
Only one level

I have always wanted to make a more modern version of my game Gravity Force 20

Future ideas

Add fuel that you need to pick up, but less fuel = less weight = faster
More levels
Global highscores
